CULLING THE POULTRY FLOCK
Less Profit Secured by Keeping eirds
Until Cold Weather Than by
Selling Early In Fall.

When the first cold nights come,
and the chickens are rounded up from
the coops and trees and driven into
the chicken houses, the farmer wakes
up TO the fact that he has more chick
ems than he thought he had, and many
of them must go to market. SO II hap
pens that along in late November
there is a drop In the price of chick
ems. and the farmer often gets less
clear profit from holding his birds till
cold weather than he would have had
from selling earlier. The best way is
20 keep culllng right along. When you
have a number OF chickens to market,
call up the butcher and sell them be-
fore leaving home. Don't put your
self in the position OF man with a
load which he must sell at any price
rather then take II home.
II the chickens are lanky and have
little meat on their bones. coop them
for ten days or two weeks and fatten.

METHOD OF USING LINENS
Housewives Have Different Ideas, SuE
Both of These Are Decd
edly Good.

What Is yorr plan for using your
linens? There are two ways. one is
to select a certain proportion OF the
articles and give them constant use
leaving the others untouched until the
first lot wears out thus rendering II
sure that you will always have some
perfect articles on hand. When the
first supply begins to show signs OF
hard usage new ones can be taken into
service.
The other plan is to use your linens
evenly, keeping them all in service,
and employing them in rotation. In
order to do this with the least trouble
you may either put the fresh linen
which comes from the wash at the bot
tom OF the pile or you may each week
take the articles you need from the
lowermost layer, placing the clean
pieces on the top. This insures even
wear for the whole stock. II you take
your towels, for instance, from tho
bottom of the heap. you are sure to get
those Which we're not last used, and
each towel has its share of service

WINTER FEED FOR THE HENS
Almost Any Cover Crop VIII Answer,
But There Is Nothing So Easily
Produced as Rye.

Some kind OF green food Is neces-
sary for the hens in winter, and some-
times II is a little difficult to know
Just how to provide 1t. Bluegrass
pasture usually affords green grass al
most all winter. but not all of us can
have good large bluegrass range.
Most everyone who has hens has a
garden that they can use for provid-
ing green for them. Not only do you
get value from your garden in the
winter when II would be lying idle
otherwise, but you are benefiting the
soil at the same time. Almost any
winter-growing cover crop will an
swer. but there is nothing SO easily
produced or that provides green SO
quickly as rye. In the spring II will
make mass OF foliage to be plowed
under to enrich the soil and place 1t
In a splendid mechanical condition.
When you plow for the rye do not
make the seed bed level, but leave
1t as rough as you can. This will
cause II TO gather the rain and hold
1t, and in the spring the soil will have
stored a good supply against the sum-
mer droughts.

CLIPPING THE WORK TEAMS
Cruel Practice to Clip Animals During
Severe Cold weather-Removs Old
Hair In Spring.
(Rv w n LE1rrzA

By w. p, LEUTZ)
IL Is cruel TO clip the work teams
during the winter and allow them to
stand exposed to the cold winds and
storms. but / am convinced that Il is
an excellent plan to remove the old
hair In the spring before they are put
to work, especially II their coat is long
and thick.
II makes the horses more comfort
able and II is easier to keep them
clean, which Is a very important item
TO a man during the rush of spring a
work when his time is limited.
Horses that are clipped should be
kept moving and blanketed every time
they are left standing or taken out TO
work during the stormy weather.
On many farms more horses are
Kept than are used for work during
the winter. and consequently receive
very little grooming during that time
Their coats became very thick and
long and when put to work they sweat
profusely and II is very difficult TO
keep them dry and clean.
Such horses had best be clipped. II
VIII require less grain to keep them In
condition and they will require much
less grooming. We know how dis.
agreeable II would be fol- us to per-
form a hard springs work with our
