as adding to her appetite and assist
ing in the furnishing of milk for the
pigs.
Clean kitchen Stops are all right
for the sows, too, but care must be
taken that no spoiled fruits or vege-
tables are put into the slop, for these
are pretty sure to result in diarrhoea
or scours in the pigs. and there may
be some loss before corrective RENE
dies can be administered. One of the
best of these, after the error in diet
has been corrected, is to give the SOW
in her slop twelve to fifteen grains of
copperas night and morning; If neces4
sary, slightly increase the size of the
doses until effective.
Provide dry bedding for the pigs,
and in good weather they should fol-
low the SOW around in order to get
the exercise which they need. In bad
weather the pigs will probably remain
in their beds, drawing plenty of milk,
and they will then become too fat,
which condition is likely to be fol-
lowed by the thumps. Thumps is
condition brought on by a fatty
growth about the heart and lungs, and
it Is fatal in large percentage of
cases. Even though it does not prove
fatal, 1t always results in a decided
setback for the afflicted pigs at the
time and for a considerable while
afterwards. 1t must be guarded
against, first, by not overlooking the
SOW, and second, by forcing the pigs
to take exercise If they will not take
1t of their own volitiOn. AS long as
the weather remains bad, thus keep
ing the pigs in their quarters, they
should be stirred up and forced to
scurry around for Is to 20 minutes
every day.

How does the Keiffer pear differ from

Yellow Transparent apple from the
Maiden Blush?
The character of the bark of differ
ent trees is worthy of notice Young
trees will have a smooth bark, while
the older and larger trees will have
bark that is rough and furrowed Why
is this? Only the inner layers of the
bark are alive. Then as the tree in
creases in size by adding new layers
of wood on the outside of those already
formed the bark has to split. thus
forming burrows. This is called bark
sculpturing, and it forms one of the
most reliable means ofstree identified
ton. Some trees have a different
method of bark behavior in caring for
the annual increase in size. For ex-
ample, the beech has smooth bark,
even though the tree be old. The rea.
son for this Is that the bark of this
tree is able to expand as the new layer
of wood is formed In some cases the
bark comes off in large strips. The
birch is the most notable example of
this class, and the sycamore sheds
with the seasons.

NOT PROFITABLE
TO KEEP OLD HENS
Yearling Fowls Considered Supe-
rior to the PuIIetS for Breed
ing Purposes.
CBy R. G. WEATHERsToNE.)


AS breeder consider the yearling
hen superior to the pullets, as the
eggs are usually larger and will pro-
duce better developed chicks. In fact,
the vigor of the offspring is not de-
creased If the hen is kept three or four
years.
Considered as breeder alone her
value does not depreciate as long as
she produces good chicks. But we
must Judge her value also by the
total amount Of her egg yield and we
know that the older she grows the
fewer eggs she will produce
Experiment station results and prac-
tical experience go to show that it
seldom pays to keep hens after they
are TWO years old, except for breeding
uses.
Notwithstanding the fact that pull
let's will lay more eggs than yearling
hens, l believe 1t pays to keep as many
yearling hens in the flock as pullets.
Many who keep farm flock do not
consider the cost of raising the pullets
to an reproducing age while the
year-old hens are making a profit for
them.
Keeping about the same number of
yearlings as pullets enables me to
market about one-half of the older
birds during the summer when they
are in good condition and will bring
the highest price.
In this way | have plenty of room
for the young pullets early in the fall
and get them into their houses and
ready to begin laying before cold
weather comes on.
BY planning my egg producing
flock in this way l am able to supply
regular customers and maintain a
fairly uniform egg production during
the entire year.
After the older birds are marketed
the yearlings alone must be depended
upon to supply egg customers until
the pullets begin to lay in the fall.
l have found it unsatisfactory tc
depend upon pullets alone to main
tain uniform production during the
whole of year.
