CARE FOR STALL-FED cows
At Regular Hours Animals Are Turned
Into Commodious Barnyards for
Fresh Air and Exercise.

Somehow many dairymen have
reached the wrong conclusions when
reading of dairy farms where the
COWS are Stalled the year round. It
is by no means intended that the cows
shall have no outdoor exercise; on the
contrary, except for COWS that are on
pasture entirely during the summer,
few COWS are more intelligently exer
cised and proper ventilation furnished
them than Stalled animals properly
brought up. At regular hours the ami.
mails are turned into commodious
barnyards for air and exercise. Dur.
ing the winter this outdoor exercise
is as carefully looked after as during
the summer, and, in the majority of
cases, the COWS occupy only sleeping
hours and milking hours in their sep
arate stalls, the balance Of the time
being spent in large sheds.
Don't be afraid of the fresh air for
your animals during the winter; see
that they have all the outdoor exer.

MARKING THE EARLY LAYERS
Band Placed on Leg of PuIIet Begin
ming to Lay In October Helps in
Selection of Breeders.

The pullets that begin laying first
are as a rule the best layers; it is
from these pullets and hens that we
should hatch our breeding birds. Col
ored leg bands are useful for marking
birds with special points; a red band
on the leg of each pullet that begins
to lay in October will make the selec-
ton of breeders next spring easier.
The Missouri state poultry experiment
station this year had fifty pullets bred
from good layers which began to lay
when little over four months old. In
every case the pullets that began to
lay first came from the highest laying
hens. OF the thirteen pullets that be-
gan laying first, three were Buff Leg
horns, two Barred Plymouth Rocks,
four White Leghorns, one Ancona, one
Campine, one Rhinelander, and one
White Orpington. The Barred Rocks
and the White Orpington weighed
from three and half to four pounds
each; all the others from two and a
half to three and a fourth pounds
each.

Clean nests mean clean eggs,
Clean, fresh eggs spell clean profits.
All growing turkeys should have as
much grain as they will eat twice a
day.
The American hen laid 20,000,000-
900 eggs last year and had a good
right to cackle.
The hen, after laying an egg, needs
drink of water. See that it is al.
ways accessible.
An egg contains quite large per
centage of water, hence water must be
supplied in plenty.
AS fowls have no organs for masti
cation, their food must be prepared
for digestion in the gizzard.
The cry now is for winter eggs.
The poultry keeper smart enough to
get them is the one who is successful
financially.
Unslaked lime, coal ashes or dry
dirt are good materials to scatter over
the floor and under the roosts after a
good cleaning up.
Keep the hopper full of dry mash
all of the time. This gives the chick.
ems an opportunity to balance the
grain rations fed.
Dressed poultry must now be of uni.
form size and color, and must be of
good size, with a generous supply of
meat on the breast
The Guinea fowl is growing in favor
as a market bird, the flesh coming
nearer to the flavor of game than any
Of our domestic poultry.
The hens should have a place to
roost and 1t should not be over the
cows, on the farm implements and
buggies, or in the haymow.

PROBABLY COULD DO WORK
Soldiers Occupation in Civil Life
Certainly Should Have Fitted
Him for the Job.

Real war conditions sometimes give
rude shocks to the professional soldier
trained to arms in the well-ordered
days of peace. Here is a case in point.
A Prussian Landwehr company was
being mustered into service and there
were many things to be done. Uni
forms, equipment, rifles, were to be
distributed, rolls prepared, reports
made out, and quartermaster's lists
checked up. The captain had his hands
full. He ordered his first sergeant
to find a noncom. who could write
neatly and figure a little. The first
sergeant was equal to the emergency.
Corporal Kammermeyer was prompt
ly summoned the crisply detailed for
duty as company clerk. The corporal
reported to the captain, who looked
him over with mixture of wonder
and distrust.
$50 you can figure, corporal" he
said.
"a little, sir, at your service"
The captain still looked dubious.
What is your trade in civil life
anyway" he said.
II am professor of mathematics
captain" was the reply.

Travesty on Real FaIstaff,

Yarmouth has claim upon all Eng
lishmen quite independently Of its as
sociations with the breakfast bloater,
remarks writer in st. Nicholas. For
it was the home Of Shakespeare's Fal-
staff, who appears to have been a man
of exemplary piety. The Falstaffs
were an old Yarmouth family.
"a Falstolfe or Falstaff," writes
John Richard Green, was bailiff of
Yarmouth in 1881. Another is among
the first Of its representatives in par
lament, and from that the members
Of that family filled the highest mu-
nicipal Offices. John Falstolfe, man
Of considerable account in the town,
purchased lands at the close of the
fourteenth century in Caistor, and be-
came the father of Sir John Falstolfe,
who, after distinguished military ca
reer, was luckless enough to give his
name to Shakespeare's famous char
acter. In Yarmouth, however, he was
better known as benefactor to the
great church Of St. Nicholas.

able to abandon the summer fallow
altogether, substituting for it a legu.
minous crop which may be plowed
under in the fall. This practice has
the great advantage Of adding humus
to the soil, thereby not only increas-
ing it's fertility but also it's resistance
to wind action. The presence of hu.
mus is indeed one Of the best protec
tons against blowing, the presence of
organic bodies in the soil increasing
it's water-holding power and therefore
aiding in keeping the surface moist
The sandy trucking soils of the East
may nearly always be made naturally
resistant to wind action by the addi
ton of humus through the systematic
planting of leguminous crops.
Another Protection Method.
Another method of protecting fields
is to plant rows of trees or bushes or
to build fences as windbreaks. This
is effective but apt to be expensive
not only because of the actual cost
outlay involved but because of the
amount of land which is left unpro.
ductive. For this reason the use of
such artificial windbreaks can hardly
be recommended for extensive agri.
culture, and is usually restricted to
the cultivation of fruits, garden vege'
tables, etc. Where windbreaks are
erected, care should be taken ito see
that they are composed Of trees or
bushes which do not harbor insect
pests and whose roots will not spread
out into the adjoining fields.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1915-01-01

instance of this method. On dry lands,
however, where the scarcity of water
must be considered, this plan is open
to the objection that the nurse crop
deprives the soil of a certain amount
Of much-needed moisture. Many farm
ers, therefore, prefer to introduce al
falfa and similar slow-tarting crops
by drilling in the seed In high-cut stub
BILE of thinly sown millet or thickly
seeded kaflr corn.
Summer FalIow Facilities.
The use of the summer fallow great
~ facilitates excessive soil blowing in
sections where dangerous winds are
prevalent in the summer time, because
the land is left fully exposed. This
danger may be avoided to a consid-
cradle extent by seeding rows of
coarse-growing crops at intervals
across the fallow fields at right angles
to the direction of the prevailing
winds. Where the wind danger is es-
pecially great it might even be desir.

COSTLY METHOD OF REVENGE
Procedure In Europe Reminded An
drew Carnegie of a Somewhat
Humorous Incident.

Andrew Carnegie, in a recent inter-
view on peace, said to a New York
reporter:
"a lad of twenty killed a man and
woman in Sarajevo. All Europe is now
fighting to avenge this wrong. Eng
land alone is spending $4,000 min
ute, according to Sidney Webb, on gun
powder.
well, this is such an expensive way
to avenge wrong that it reminds me
Of the man at the banquet.
"a man entered the cloakroom, at
the end of banquet, and began to
smash in silk hat after silk hat.
Hold on, boss! What TO yo' smash
in all dem high hats?' demanded the
attendant.
I'm looking for my own" the gen.
tleman answered. It's an opera hat
collapsible, you know. None of these
seem to be it.
