GREEN FOOD IN THE WINTER
Turnips, Cabbage, Beets and All Such
Vegetables Furnish Change Which
All Fowls Appreciate.

During spring, summer and fall it is
not difficult to supply a variety of
green food for fowls, as any kind Of
tender growing vegetation is relished
by them, but when cold weather sets
n it is very different, and things
must BE set aside during the fall sea-
son.
Turnips cabbage, beets and all such
vegetables make good food and fur
nish grateful change, which the
fowls appreciate. OF all the vegetables
we have had the best results with
cabbage. 1t is usually cheap in the fall
and we'll into the winter. We have
paid as much as cents per head for
it because we realize that it is to our
advantage to supply the green food to
the fowls. The cost is a small item,
for one head will supply six hens for
week or ten days.
1t is QUE custom to suspend the head
SO that the fowls will be forced to
jump little to get bite. 1t is left
hanging for two hours each day and
then is taken down-for two reasons:
First, to prevent the fowls from eat
ing too much and becoming loose i'll
the bowels and, second, for tho sake
of economy.
Possibly sprouted grain will be
found much cheaper than cabbage.
We always try TO have sprouted oats
on hand to feed, but at times we are
caught without a thing in that line
to feed. 1t is Their that the cabbage
comes to the rescue. The best place to
sprout the oats in winter is in a
warm cellar or cave. Do not attempt
to sprout in the barn, for the chances
are that it will never sprout. 1t takes
temperature of about so degrees to
sprout the grain to the best advant
age.

HIS FIRST YEAR AT FARMING
IN SASKATCHEWAN
Win Premiums and Prizes in
Competition With the
World.

There are thousands of young men
filing positions in stores and offices.
and in professional occupations
throughout the United States, who in
their earlier life, worked on the farm.
The allurements of city life were at
tractive, until they faced the stern
reality. These people would have
done better had they remained on the
farm. Many of them, convinced of
this, are now getting back to the
land" and in the experience, no bet
ter place offers nor better opportunity
afforded, than that existing in Western
Canada Many of them have taken
advanta sc of it, and there are to be
found today, hundreds of such, farm
ing in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta. The con-
ditions that surround farming opera
tons today are so much superior to
those in existence during their early
farming days, that there is an attrac-
ton about it. Improved machinery
level and open plains, no rocks to
shun no trees to cut down, but wide
stretches with mile-long burrows, ele-
vators to handle the grain. railways to
carry it to market, and bring almost
to their doors the things necessary to
operate. Splendid grazing areas, ex-
cellent opportunities for raising cattle.
These things are all SO different from
what they once were that there is rea-
son to speak of the attractions. r. Fl.
Crossman OF Kindersley, Saskatche-
wan, the man who won such splendid
prizes at the International Dry Farm
ing Congress held at Tulsa, Oklahoma,
last fall, grew the prize grains during
his first year farming. Up to 1918 he
was an engineer and the only knowl-
edge he had of farming was that OBJ
tanned when he was boy. That was
very useful; in fact it was valuable
to him. He had not forgotten it.
Thousands with as little experience as
he had can do well by taking up one
of the 160-acre grants offered by the
Canadian government. - Advertise

SEPARATE YOUNG FROM OLD
During Growing Period Young Stock
Needs to Be Protected From Old
Ones to Prevent Abuse.

A good many people who might 9TH
erwise be very successful with poultry
have their profit decreased because
they allow the young and the old stock
to remain undivided in the same
house, or yard, or both. During the
growing period the young stock needs
a great deal of food and needs to be
protected from the old ones, which, if
allowed to do so, will abuse them
more or less. If free range is impos-
sible, provide separate yards and al
ways keep the young in a separate
building, if possible, or in a separate
room at least. Pullets getting ready
to lay need more feed as rule than
hens which have moulted out well,
because the pullets need to finish their
growth and maturity, as we'll as make
eggs. This is another reason why
the young and the old should be kept
separate.

What is Wisconsin's greatest
natural asset?"
This question was the subject of
lively and earnest discussion at a
casual meeting of the farmers and
business men which recently took
place upon a Saturday afternoon in
one Of the trading points in southern
Wisconsin.
Naturally enough the manager of
the local lumber yard declared for
estry and numbering; travelling
salesman, who, true to his calling, in
terested himself in the discussion, was
convinced that because our mines
furnish us with iron and other metals,
they should be considered our most
important resources of industry, and
second drummer pointed out that the
forces of water power latent in the
swift rivers of the state were by far
the most valuable natural asset in
Wisconsin.

do not receive perceptible shock.
Fall planting has been successfully
used in many localities, and where all
conditions are favorable, it is a safe
venture.
Large deep holes with plenty of
moist earth in the bottom should be
provided for any tree. During trans
planting, the roots must never become
dried either by the wind or from the
sun Another very important phase
in tree-transplanting is to make the
soil very, very firm around its roots.
If the soil is well prepared and in
proper condition, it is impossible to
make it too firm. More newly trans
planted evergreens die on account of
the planter failing to make the soil
firm about the roots than from any
other single cause. This is the only
safe way to exclude the air from the
roots. and unless this is done, failure
is sure to follow.

A Convenient Method of Moving Large
Trees.

in the digging and transpianting OF
trees, and especially in dry severe
climates.
The time or season of the year for
transplanting deciduOus trees is gov
erned by the development Of the tree,
the condition of the soil, and, the
weather that is apt to follow trans
planting Many trees may be success
fully transplanted at any time during
their dormant or leaf1ess period,
while others require that transplant
Ing be done at certain seasons of the
year If the trees are fully matured,
the soil moist, not wet, and the Win
ters not too severe, one may feel safe
In fall planting. If the soil is wet and
poorly prepared and the trees are not
well ripened off, it is safer to plant
In early spring. Deciduous trees
should be planted from one to two
inches deeper than they grew In the
nursery. Thoroughly pulverized moist
earth should be worked in among the
roots, until the hole is about half
full and then this earth should be
tamped until it is solid. The tramping
of earth around the roots of the tree
Is one of the most important features
Of transplanting tree.
Water may be applied to the hole
either the day before the trees are
planted or after the hole is half full
Of earth, but if the soil is moist it is
usually best not to use any water.
The upper half of the soil that is
filled into the hole may be left loose
or lightly tamped, and the surface
left loose and finely pulverized. This
will serve as a mulch as well as take
up any water that may fall on the
surface.
Evergreen trees are more difficult
to transplant successfully than decid.
uous trees, but if the proper time be
selected, the trees properly handled
while they are out Of the ground, the
manner of planting be not too faulty,
and the care they receive after trans
| planting be reasonable, one may usu-
ally expect success. With the proper
care, an evergreen tree may be trans
planted any month during the year.
Probably the most favorable time for
transplanting evergreen is in the
spring. Trees transplanted just after
they have started into growth, start
at once to grow and in many cases
