PREPARING BONES.

- OWLS always prefer bones that are
II cut or broken into small pieces,
with meat either raw or cooked ad-
herring to them. The hens do not care
for the commercial bone, unless such is
free from the odor Of ammonia and
decaying matter. Dry bones, either
broken or ground, will be eaten, but
not SO readily as those that are fresh.
Fresh bones are not easily ground in
any kind of mill. They are usually
steamed in order to render them brittle,
or place in the oven and burn. OF
course. when subjected to heat, they
lose more or less nitrogenous matter,
such as meat or gelatine. With a bone
cutter, all kinds of bones can be pre-
pared for the fowls.

IF POULTRY RAIsERs in genera

understood the value of sunflower
seed there would undoubtedly be
fewer losses during the moulting sea-
son, and more garden fence rows be-
decked with heavy y-headed sunflower
stalks.
Consider the fact that moulting is
made easy by the use of sunflower seed,
and then estimate the number Of run
ming feet along garden or field fences,
which are absolutely barren each year,
and you quickly arrive at the extent
OF the loss that many tillers of the soil
are suffering whether they are keeping
poultry or not.
1t is not a good idea to cut sunflower
heads and throw them into the poultry
yards for the fowls to empty at will,
for in that way the birds all too often
get an over supply of oil, and the lay
ing period is apt to be correspondingly
shorter as consequence.
Sunflower seed should never be fed
to your chicks. Nothing of the sort is
needed during the baby moult, and if it
be given the heavy oil in it may cause
rheumatism.
In case any young birds suffer with
rheumatism from such a cause, confine
them in coop by themselves and feed
them exclusively ON chopped white
clover (green) until they recover,
W. T. Beane, man who has made a
remarkable success of the poultry bust
ness in the Southwest, advises feeding
sunflower seed in scratch feed.
"In my opinion" says Mr.. Beane,
"five pounds of sunflower seed to $50
pounds of ordinary scratch feed is the
proper proportion.
During the moulting period the ef-
feet of sunflower seed can be height
ened by the use Of flax seed jelly Boil
one pound Of flax seed to jelly and
mix it with so pounds of whatever sort
Of mash is customary. Twice week
is often enough to feed flax seed
Aobloh, uoNCNCI.
"a handful of sulphur in the mash
for 100 hens, fed on dry day, hastens
the moult, too, for the sulphur makes
feathers grow rapidly. Do not feed
sulphur on damp day, however, else
the fowls are apt to catch cold. Sui
phur in the mash once week is suffi,
eient.
"Another good thing to give during
the moulting season, or in any season,
Is a dash of epson salts. Twenty grains
of epson salts to each hen, fed in the
mash every two weeks, stirs up the
hen and keeps her bright and busy.
1t takes the average breed of chick
ems about 100 days to pass through
the moult, but the period can be notice
ably shortened and the fowls brought
through in better shape if sunflower
seed be used judiciously.
In the open market sunflower seed
retails for 10 cents per pound almost
anywhere in the Western states, but
nearly every poultryman could produce
his own supply of it in ease he chooses
to do SO.
Sunflower will spring up almost any
where that the seeds happen to fall

Milk for Poultry

m ILK cannot take the place of meat,
as it is not sufficiently concen-
trated, hence the hens could not
drink enough Of it to supply their
wants. If gill Of linseed meal is
added to a pint of milk, and the milk
then used for mixing ground grain, it
will largely assist in providing com
plete food. Milk should be given in
vessels which will prevent filth from
getting into it, and vessels cleaned
daily.
Wheat is a standard food for poul
try, and farmers have -ontented them
selves that grain is sufficient, but it
has been demonstrated that when fresh
milk has been given to chicks intended
to be sold as fries" the gain, when
milk is added to the grain ration, is
nearly twice as much as when grain
alone is used. If milk can be conven-
iently given to laying hens, larger
profits will be derived by thus utiliz-
ing the waste products than by feed
ing it to the pigs, as skimmilk and
buttermilk contain nearly all the ele-
ments of food, the eggs are more easily
produced by hens fed upon such food

Sunflower Seed for Poultry
By Howard g. Kegley.

but they bring the biggest returns
when cultivated, of course. If a single
row along the garden fence is desired
for small flock of fowls, the seeds
may be drilled two and one-half inches
deep and the plants thinned later until
they stand foot apart. Occasional
hoeing or stirring of the soil around
the stalks is sufficient.
If big patch is to be planted the
seeds should be placed four inches
deep, to give the roots firm hold, in
hills IS inches apart, and rows three
feet wide. Cultivation such as corn
requires may be applied successfully.
The crop will mature in 80 days or
less and will grow without abundant
moisture. Indeed, fine sunflower crop
can often be found in drouth dried
district In the Southwest the sun
flower is q real wonder if irrigated
once in a while. The Russian type
seems to be universally the favorite
variety.
Taking into consideration that there
is always ready market for sunflow-
er seed at five cents per pound to the
wholesaler, and basing an estimate upon
the it-raised-itself sunflower crop re-
suits obtained by Los Angeles county
man, there is reason for believing that
sunflower farming if properly done,
should net the farmer at least 5000 per
acre.
The man in question planted a nick
els worth of sunflower seeds in the
ground around the outside of his poul-
try yard. The plants were thinned, and
then irrigated and hoed twice. When
the heads were ripe they were cut off
and stored in boxes and barrels until
needed for feed. Standing one foot
apart, the stalks each bore an average
of one-half a pound Of seed.
Nine rows of sunflowers, three feet
wide and so rods long would make an
acre. Figuring it little finer there
would be one row $4,000 feet long. If
the hills were one foot apart there
would be 10000 hills in the acre and,
at the rate of one-half pound Of seed
per hill. which is a conservative esti-
mate. the acre should produce 5000
pounds of sunflower seed. At prevail
ing prices, such crop would be worth
$500.
In Southern California, Texas or Ari
zona, it would be an easy matter tt
grow three crops of sunflower each yea
upon an ordinary piece of land, ant
some sort of crop of pumpkins coult
be taken from the ground at the samt
time.
Also, in view of the fuel value Of
the stalks and the fact that they usec
TO be extensively used for frewood il
many parts of Kansas and other states
the standing stalks ought to cut quite
figure at defraying fuel bills, espe
cially in~parts Of the Southwest where
stovewood is worth about $l4 cord.
1t is not indulging in guess work to
estimate that an acre of ground could
be made to produce $400 worth of sun
flower seed annually, and at the same
time grow enough "punk' and pump
kins to defray the expense of working
the land.
