Kansas station a lot OF skim milk
calves which were placed in the feed
lot at once and finished with alfalfa
hay and corn made an average gain OF
40 pounds per head, consuming "a
bushels of corn during the secoad Pc
Rod. Adding this to the average
amount fed to the skim milk calves
up to six months of age, the total
is SO bushels Of grain when the
calves were sent to market weighing
little over 500 pounds.
Another lot of skim milk calves was
placed in the feed lot and finished as
baby beef on cut alfalfa and 80 bush
els of grain per head. They were
sold when they weighed TAO pounds
at II months. The calves in this ex-
pertinent, however, were of very low
breeding and were well suited for the
purpose. If they had been well-bred
calves, Professor Wheeler states
they might have been brought up
about 100 pounds of weight on the
same amount of grain. These are
some of the things that the baby
beef feeder must thoroughly under
stand before he undertakes to start
in the business.
Another thing to be figured in the
cost Of making baby beef is the cost
Of feeding the dam while producing
the baby beef for market. If the cow
has given no other return she is GER
tainIy worth at least SIS per year, and
this should be charged against the
calf when he is sent TO market. Too
many feeders fail to take this impor-
tant item into account, overlooking
the fact that they must feed the cow
while she is producing milk to give
the youngster a start. If she has fur
nished milk which has been sold or
made into butter or cheese then, OF
course, this item may be very much
reduced.
The calves should be allowed to
suckIe the dams as long as possible
in order to keep what is known as
calf fat" that is, the natural fat
which is on their bodies when born,
and they must be taught to eat grain
as soon as possible. This should be
in the form OF oats and corn ground
and if fed with one-half bran the
ration is an excellent one.
It is a mistake to feed very young
calves cottonseed meal as it is too
strong for their digestive organs and
is liable to upset them and prevent
them from laying on fat.

The yield varies according to the cul-

five TO nine tons per acre. In some
portions OF Manitoba where it has
been poor for some years. success has
been achieved in ripening and it is
expected that variety will soon be
developed that will provide seed for
the entire West, that will at an early
date give to Western Canada q fame

will be no hesitancy in taking advan-
tage Of the splendid gift of $50 acres
Of land made by the Government Of
the Dominion Of Canada, where equal
opportunities are offered. Besides
these free grant lands, there are the
lands OF some Of the railway COM
panies and large land companies, that
may be had at low prices and on
reasonable terms. During the month
Of February a large number Of in
quiries were received, asking for farm
lands.
An encouraging feature of the farm

PULLETS FOR LAYING STOCK
One PouItryman Keeps Hens Through
First Laying Year and Then Sc
Iects Best for Breeding.

How many years shall we keep
hen? This question comes up fire.
quently for discussion, and the an
swers made by practical pouIIrymen
are bewildering to a beginner. One
man says that we should depend upon
pullets entirely for laying stock His
scheme will be to keep the hens
through their first laying season, then
select the best of them for breeders
and let the rest 60 This plan is
based on the general theory that a
hen lays more eggs in her first year
than in any other Many poultrymeu
seem to believe that most Of their
hens cannot come back and give a
profitable egg record the second year.
The system based on this theory de-
mands. Of course, vast amount OF
work in Matching and brooding, in
order to keep up q full supply Of pull
let's each year. On the other hand
there are poultrymen who say that
we may well keep our hens two, three,
or even four years, provided we have
the ability to judge the layers prop
erly or have some system of wedding
out the drones. Naturally If we could
keep our hens three years it would
mean less work at Matching and brood

FEEDING THE YOUNG CHICKS

By c. E BROWN. Minnesota Expert
ment Station)
We do not feed little chicks before
they are two days old, but from the
beginning give them water. During
this period the hen is given her food
out of reach of the little ones. The
first feeds are given sparingIy every
two hours, and are usually wet
mashes.
After the third day we feed some of
the cracked grains, a little at a time,
till, at the end Of the fifth or sixth day
we are giving the three feeds OF the
cracked grain Occasionally we give a
little whole wheat, and by the end Of
eight weeks We are feeding most of
the grains whole. If the chicks are IN
able TO get worms or insects in suffi-
cient quantities, they must be supplied
with a substitute, such as milk or beef

POULTRY FANCIERS'
NEED OF INDUSTRY
Men Wanted to Create Breeds
and Perfect Old 0nes-Spec-
uIator Is Passing.
Ry NJ. K. BoYER)

It has been asked: VIII the fancf-
ers eventually be driven to the wall by
the progress made in growing market
poultry? Certainly not We need fan
ciers-real fanciers. We want men to
create breeds and to perfect the old
ones. But the Speculation and the
huckster is fast seeing his finish.
The man with string of breeds is
not a fancier. He is a Speculation. It
would be next to impossible for him
to give each of these breeds his best
attention. To thoroughly know a
breed, and to get out Of it all that is
good it would require an ordinary life
time.
Amateur fanciers will often buy
culls from a breed well advertised and
then advertise eggs for Matching from
so-and-so's strain. The man is a
worse enemy Of the fancier than the
man who breeds dunghill fowls
A wonderful interest has sprung up
In poultry matters. Large sums Of
money are being invested, and poul-
try farms by the score are started.
These new farms are on the lookout
for utility stock. The man who can
advertise big egg records generally
gets the trade. They want carcasses
and egg records business poultry.
So the best advice to the beginner
is to join the utility ranks and raise
poultry and eggs for market
Then in after years he can, IL he
feels so inclined, gradually creep up
into the fancier's fold It is a step
that cannot be taken hastily.
