ABOUT POULTRY

Keep the hopper full OF dry mash
all the time This gives the chickens
an opportunity to balance the grain
rations fed.
The hen must have some animal
food in order to produce successfully.
She gathers this in the summer time,
but in the winter il must be provided.
Cleanliness is necessary in the poul-
try house. This is an old time and oft
given piece OF advice. but it still needs
repeating from time to time.
The goose is grazing bird, while
the duck thrives with a limited
amount of green food.
Green feed is essential as a part of
the poultry winter ration. When
cabbage and beets are not available
sprouted oats can easily be fed.

SAVING HILLSIDE SOILS

You have noticed that the soil on
the sidchill field has washed badly
the last few years Ever wonder what
was the reason for this increased wa
ter action2 Do you wish to stop it?
llumus, the dccaying vegetable mat
ter in the soil. tends to prevent this
erosion Humus absorbs moisture
and retains it, When the soil contains
an abundance OF humus the soil par
ticles are kept apart and they can alb
sorb more water The soil is open
and the water tends to soak into the
ground instead of running off. There
ing erosion is to keep. the soil full OF
humus. Have the grasses or legumeS
occupy a prominent place i'll the ro-
tation for the hillside fields. Perhaps
some bad gulles have formed in your
field and you desire to fill them up
II so, make the force OF the gullies
the force that washed them out-fll
them up. Place brush in the bitches
with the tops up stream and IT will
catch and hold the material washed
down Even a better method, how
ever, is the use of the woven-wire
dam. Place a stake on each side OF
the gully, three feet from the bank,
and fasten piece OF woven wire to
them. Place old hay above this wire
and it will catch almost all of the ma
tcrial washed by the water. The gully
will then fill up. When it reaches the
top OF the woven wire put on another
strip and repeat the process. Soil ero-
sion can never be prevented entirely
but it can be greatly reduced by a re
gard for the principle OF proper soil
management.

CAUSE OF POOR BUTTER

Il am fully convinced that the prac-
tice of holding the cream in order to
reduce hauling expenses contributes
more toward the production of second
butter than any other factor" says
]. d, Mickle, Oregon Dairy and Food
commissioner.
Good butter cannot be made from
poor cream, and poor butter should
have no place as product of this
state. But as long as our creamer-
les will accept an inferior cream upon
the same basis as good cream and
through skillful methods of manufac-
ture attempt to overcome the bad
work of the dairymen and pass on to
the consumer an article of short life.
just SO long will poor butter be offer
ed for sale. On the other hand, make
monetary distinction in the grades
OF cream and just watch the producers
work to get into the first-class."

ALFALFA TO
HAVE NEW
RIVAL FORAGE

Some five years ago the Office OF
forage crop Investigations OF the Uni
ted States Department of Agriculture
secured one-half pound of seed of SUI
dan grass from Khartum. The Gov
eminent then began experiments i'll
Texas and so promising were the
yearly tests, that during the following
years stations all over the United
States have tried it out. Farmers iii
Texas have been planting the seed for
about three years. but it has been only
comparatively lately that there has
been sufficient supply OF seed to dis
tribute to the farmers Of the other
States.
Yields of cured hay obtained under
irrigation the past year in California
and Arizona have been equal and in
some cases superior to those from
grass, when irrigated, gave yield OF
9S tons of cured hay per acre against
a yield OF S.3 tons OF alfalfa: at Bard,
California i'll the extreme southern
end of the State, Sudan grass on ia
vorable soil gave a yield OF s tons to
the acre against a yield Of 70 tons
OF alfalfa. The yield OF 8 tons at this
place was made notwithstanding the
fact that the grass was planted al
most month later than it should
have been.
This unusual yield of hay from an
annual crop which by its nature can
be made to fit into any rotation will
no doubt mean much to the dairying
industry. 1t has appeared just in
time To solve this problem which only
in the last two or three yeras has
become acute and for which the dairy
men have just been clamoring for 4
solution.
The advocates of this new grass
claim that it is unusually drought re
sistant and that it will grow i'll arid
and semi-arid districts Practically
every test OF the grass made in the
semi arid regions has given remark
ably favorable results.

POLAND CHINA HOGS

For early maturity or ability to pro-
duce finished fat carcass at an early
age, no breed excels the Poland China,
thinks X. +. Reynolds, live stock
specialist of O. A. c. Having been
originated in corn State, and devel-
oped on corn feeds, it will probably
stand heavy corn feeding better than
most other breeds, and is general ia
vorite with the corn belt farmer. 1t
is a typical American breed In size
it generally ranks as medium, hardly
averaging up to the Berkshires, al
though there is little difference. The
earlier types were freely marked with
white, but black is the fashionable
color today with white on face. feet
and tip of tail a limited number OF
small white markings on other parts
are not seriously objected to, Many
breeders have gone to extremes in
the matter of selecting for incuess
of bone, with the result that in many
cases they have evolved hog that
lacks somewhat in size and fecundity
This matter is receiving the attention
of many Thoughtful breeders, with the
result that the overtime type is fall
ing into disfavor with the general
farmer

DRINKING VESSEL FOR HENS

The best drinking vessel for the
poultry house is a large heavy weight
galvanized refrigerator pan, which
holds about pail Of water Such a
pan, to be efficient, should be placed
on an elevated platform about one and
one-half feet from the ground Over
the pan can be constructed a slant
ing roof or guard to keep the birds
from perchng on the edge and soiling
the water. Such pan is relatively
cheap, easy to clean, easy to fill and
is not readily injured even if the wa
ter freezes solid.

RATIONS BEFORE
AND AFTER
LANDING TIME

Ewes, before lambing should re-
ceive good. wholesome feed, which
will keep them in a laxative condi
ton. says the Iowa Homestead. Dur
ing the winter they should receive
well cured clover or alfalfa hay with
a small grain ration and il possible
a few roots or little silage. although
silage sometimes causes trouble when
fed by an inexperienced person.
The grain ration most widely rec
commended is one composed of peas,
oats or bran, or a mixture OF these,
and fed AT the patc OF about half a
pound a day up until lambing time
approaches, when the amount OF grain
may be increased, provided the ewes
have plenty of exercise
After lambing the ewes should be
literally fed on any good sueculent
feed before they are turned on pasture,
including plenty OF grain and good
hay Scotch shepherds prefer roots,
silage. About two pounds of clover
hay and from one to two pounds OF
grain will be required for the best
progress of the eve and the lamb,
The grain should consist OF oats and
bran, with little oil meal added. The
oil meal is particularly necessary i
the grass has made sufficient growth
the grain may be reduced and shortly
eliminated.
