Farm Poultry Items for July.

The old hens that have render
ed good service, but now cen
sumo more feed than they pay
for should be turned over to the
markets.
Some men always have bus
mess away back out of sight
when it comes time to clean the
chicken house.
Nice to have a fiutter keg. or
barrel, lined with straw, in
which to drop beheaded chickens,
then you know where to find
them and they will not bruise
themselves.
When hens apparently healthy
are found dead under the roost
where they have fallen at night,
the trouble is appoplexy, caused
by too much fattening or stim-
ulating food.
Treating fowls for lice will do
little good unless poultry houses
and coops are clean. The large
gray louise found upon the head
and neck of the fowls will cause
weakness and symptoms re.
sembling cholera.
1t is well to include animal
food in the ration for the grow
ing chicks where large numbers
are grown and the range is not
large enough for them to find

Making and Feeding of
Silage.

Silage during the last three
decades has come into general
use throughout the United States
especially in those regions where
the dairy industry has reached
its greatest development. Silage
is universally recognized as a
good and cheap feed for farm
stock, and particularly so for cat
tie and sheep, are the observa-
tons made in Farmers Bulletin
57S.
Silage is the best and cheapest
form in which succulent feed
can be provided for winter use,
continues the bulletin. An acre
of grain can be placed in the silo
at a cost not exceeding that of
shocking. husking, grinding and
shredding. Crops can be put in
the silo during weather that can
not be used in making hay or
curing fodder. which is an i'm.
portant consideration in some
localities.
A given amount of corn in the
form of silage will produce more
milk than the same amount when
shocked and dried. There is less
waste in feeding fodder. Good
silage properly fed is all consum-
ed, an in addition very palatable.
Like other succulent feeds it has
beneficial effect upon the d.
gestive organs, and some stock
can be kept on a given area of
land when it is the basis Of the
ration.
On account of the smaller cost
for labor, silage can be used for
supplementing pastures more
economically than can soiling
crops, unless only a small amount
of supplementary feed is requir-
ed. Converting the corn crop
into silage clears the land soon
err than if the corn crop is shock
ed and husked, and because of
these advantages silage, in the
general opinion of dairy farmers
has increased milk production
per cow and has increased the

Sensible Sayings.

The best natured man down
town is the man who has woman
folks at home to grumble at.
Most women prefer poverty
with the affection of her husband
to riches without them.
Happiness is a perfume which
one cannot shed over another
without few drops falling on
ones self.
Kindness will 60 farther and
bring US more happiness in this
world than all the naughtiness
and asperity we can possibly as
sumo.
The man who expects to get to
heaven on his wife's church
membership, or the chickens he
fed the preacher, is taking awful
chances.
When you see a man who
kisses his children in public, you
may be we'll sure that he keeps
their pantaloons we'll busted at
home.
To smile at the jest which
plants a thorn in another's breast
is to become a principal in the
mischief.

chickens corn ground with the
cob. If a case of indigestion ap-
pears, lessen the food. Watch
the young turks, they will get
too much cracked corn when you
feed the chicks.
There can be no iron-clad rules
in poultry raising. Our sur
roundings are so different, but
there is one thing we all need,
and most farmers can have, and
that is plenty of range. The
love of range is the first instinct
with turkeys and chickens and
other varieties of poultry will
come nearer perfection in size
and color when they have free
dom.
Ducks will do better in small
crowded quarters than any other
fowl We have had experience
with, if they are provided with
proper foodstuffs; but how much
happier they seem when they
have the run of the farm. Say,
we like to watch them catch bugs
in the fields on a summer even
ing long about dark.
if the hens knew how to tell
their wants they would demand
shade these hot days. Fruit
trees, hollyhocks, sunfiowers,
anything that will make shade,
is a great source of comfort to
poultry. They cannot stand full
exposed to the hot sun right
along, with no chance to run to
shade. And if they could talk
what would not our fowls say by
way of thanks for placing their
drinking water in the shade.
Water that stands in the hot sun
a few hours gets very warm as
if it had been hot over a fire,
then it is utterly unfit for chick
ems to drink.
Costs little less to keep the
flock when males are removed at
the end OF the Matching season.
BOOSTERS are not necessary for
the production of eggs, and the
eggs withstand the summer heat
better, are more easily preserved
and more desirable for storage.
One poultry and egg dealer in
Indianapolis buys from country
people at this season and earlier,
all their male birGs, then in the
late fall he sells back to them
other males for the same price
he paid them for their roosters in
the early summer. In this way
the farmer gets new blood and
becomes educated to the fact
that. infertile eggs are the best
for the market in summer. The
bulk of the eggs come from the
farm and the buyers demand
better eggs. Fowls will have to
be managed from the CONNER
cial standpoint.
