FEEDING DAMAGED GRAIN A
POOR PRACTICE.
ROY H. WAITE,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

There is always a temptation when
mouldy or spoiled grain Is around to
give It to the chickens SO as not to
waste it. While often no i'll effecss
follow this practice. still there is con
siderable danger attached to the prac-
tice. The argument is often advanced
that chickens running around natural
ly at large. eat feed in whatever state
they find it, and still keep perfectly
healthy. This may be true. but under
tlsese conditions the birds probably do
not get an especially large dose" of
any one particular kind of spoiled
grain and their digestive system is
able to handle it.
Where one feels he simply must
feed damaged grain to poultry some
precautions should be taken. 1t might
be fumigated to kill the mould spores
or it could be heated up to high
temperature on the kitchen stove,
sMall quantities being thus treated as
tsed Another method might be to
scald the grain with boiling water a
short time before feeding. The safest
method If it is at all bad. is to use the
feed ior fuel

VIRGINIA LOUISE BYRD,

In making the farmers daughter
happy, attractive country homes are
first to be considered. The farmers
daughter should see to it that the farm
house is tastily painted or white
washed, the lawn well laid out, and
sufficiently large to admit Of flowers
and shrubbery that she can easily care
for herself; that the barns and other
necessary out-buildings are far enough
away from the house to insure good
sanitation. Then IL we add water,
lights, and heat, much has been done
to better social conditions, since our
thoughts and feelings in . great
measure are In keeping with our sur
rOundings.
Such a home will want the latest
magazines and books that are worth
while, the reading of which will not
only cultivate the tastes and desires,
but open to them larger possibilities.
A piano. victrola or some other
musical instruments should not be
lacking in adding to the refinement
and pleasures of home life for the
farmers daughter
She should. of course, be indepen-
ent enough to hitch UP her own horse
and buggy whenever she needs It, and
will thus be able to greatly improve
her opportunities for social inter
course. In addition to this. occasion
