PRACTICAL TALK ON POULTRY
Much Advice Given by Theoretical
Writers Not Worthy Of consid-
Grafton on Average Farm.

The advice commonly given In poul-

else nearly as much pains In the
cleaning OF a chicken house as in the
cleaning of a kitchen. Such advice
may be suitable for the city poultry
fanciers, but some Of II Is out OF place

The ease with which the premises
may be kept reasonably free from lit

ground should be well sloped. SO that
the water draining from the surface
may wash away much Of the filth
that on level ground would accumu-

simplifed by proper arrangement.
First, the house must be dry. Poultry
droppings, when dry, are not source
OF danger II kept out OF the feed.
This may be accomplished by pro
viding dropping boards under the
roosts. The droppings in the poultry
house should be removed often enough
to prevent foul odors. 1t is best to

cred In the fall and stored in bins, Is
an excellent cleansing agent to use
on the dropping board of the chicken
house. Drinking vessels should be
rinsed out when refilled and not al

RAISING BEST DAIRY BREEDS
No More Profitable Line OF Stock
Growing Than Raising Good Cows
and Selling TO Dairymen.

Any farmer is safe in breeding and
raising for sale large milking or but
reproducing cows. AS an industry
there is no more profitable line OF
stock growing than raising good cows
and selling them to the dairymen who
are making a speciality OF producing
market milk or selling their milk to
condeusary plants where they do not
have the by-product returned to their
farms to feed out to the calves that
are being raised to replace the cows
that are annually discarded from their
herds.
The keeping of more cows for
creameries and cheese factories is also
encouraging and many men are willing
to pay a good price for well-bred dairy
cows.
