AVOID FROZEN ROOTS

Never feed frost-bitten potatoes,
roots or other vegetables to live stock;
the risk is too great
This is the advice of an experienced
stockman who knows of the trouble
and even losses which are almost Ger
tain to follow feeding frozen food of
any kind.
At this time of the year farmers
are often tempted to utilize waste veg
cables and roots by feeding them to
cows, hoping that no harm will result.
If the roots have been frozen trouble
naturally follows.
The introduction of heavy, chilled
vegetable matter into the stomach of
an animal naturally causes a sudden
reaction and it is not unlikely that
the food value of the material is much
reduced Stockmen cannot afford to
take any chances in feeding frozen
vegetables to their herds and flocks.

VARIETY OF FEED

Variety of feed is what fills the win
ter egg basket Corn three times a
day as a rule builds up fatty tissue,
makes hens lazy and reduces profit.
Animal food, ground food and gen
erous supply of green stuff produce
the best results for laying fowls. The
exercise so needful for poultry can be
provided in winter by working the
grain ration well into the litter of
fresh straw that should be provided
as a carpet on the feeding floors. A
good variety of grain should be pro
vided, some corn, wheat, oats and
barley mixed together, or fed alter
nately, makes satisfactory ration. a
grain ration for winter use that has
given good results at the experiment
station farm, consists of two parts
corn, two parts wheat, one part oats
and one part barley. 1t is recommend
ed that the ground feed be placed in
a small mash box or trough where the
hen can have ready access to it. The
following mixture of ground feeds is
considered to be quite satisfactory
One hundred pounds of bran, lOO
pounds of middlings, l00. pounds OF
ground corn, 50 pounds malt sprouts,
so pounds meat scraps, and sufficient
salt. During the fall and winter about
Is pounds of oil meal should be added
to this mixture. Where these feeds
annot be had, others of like nature
may be substituted, the main idea in
all instances being to get wide va
riety Buttermilk and odds and ends
from the kitchen, and such green food
as cabbage, alfalfa, silage and turnips
are great aids to egg production. Not
only more eggs, but eggs rich in pro
TEN and high in vitality with firm
shells are likely to result where prop
err thought is given to feeding systems.

DEVELOPMENT OF STRONG
ROOT SYSTEM NECESSARY
TO BEST GROWTH OF TREES


Prospective planting of trees, wheth-
err in new orchards or to replace dead
ones, should not be delayed any long
er than necessary from this time. To
delay planting until the amount of
rainfall may be reasonably well de
termined is poor policy, for such de-
lays mean possible shortage of
rainfall sufficient to even settle the
earth firmly about the tree roots
1t is well-known practice among
fruitgrowers in planting trees to cut
the ends of the roots smoothly just be-
such roots will knit or callous more
readily than if put into the ground in
a ough or broken condition. Any one
who has had experience in making cut
tings of various kinds, such as gera-
NUNS, roses, grapevines, currants, etc,
knows that if such cuttings may be
put in moist sand in a cool place for
time, the ends where they have been
cut will callous, and when moved to a
warmer locality or the advent of
spring warns the earth where they
have been planted they will root more
readily and make stronger growth
than if planted out without the oppor-
tunity to prepare for root growth.
The grown of fruit tree is not
unlike any plant, in that a good root
system is necessary to a vigorous
growth of top and the production OF
foliage, flowers or fruit.
Early planting is particularly i'm
portant in non-irrigated districts in
order to get the full benefit of all the
rains that fall, thus keeping the roots
cool and moist as long a time as pos
sible, to prepare for their campaign
upon the elements of the soil when
warm weather comes. The fact that a
tree is alive and has made some
growth is not sufficient evidence for
the progressive fruitgrower, for often
there is life enough in the planted
! tree to force some growth by the aid
of moisture and warmth, without
very much root development. This
growth may be sufficient to carry the
tree over to the following winter
when he roots, having the whole win
ter season to prepare, will enable the
tree to make a good second years
growth. Again, when irrigation is not
practiced the soil is warmer and spring
growth starts quickly, condition usu
ally looked upon as unfavorable.
Late planting is sometimes defend
ed as good practice when plenty of
water may be had to settle the earth
we'll about the roots and sustain their
grown throughout the summer. While
such practice is better than late plant
ing without irrigation, the fact remains
that although such trees may do well,
they would certainly have better
developed root system if planted
early, while the soil was still COOL

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT
BE ALLOWED TO
HANDLE SICK FOWLS

Children should not be allowed To
handle sick fowls. Aside from the
cruelty to the fowl there is danger 20
the child Some diseases may be
transmitted by the handling of the
fowl; such diseases are called con
tagious." There are other diseases
which are transmitted by the virus
or impure matter which proceeds from
the fowls; such diseases are designated
as infectious"
In all cases, fowls should be handled
as little as possible and the greatest
precautions taken when handlin Z
them, and under no circumstances is
it necessary for child to come into
contact with sick fowl. Sick fowls,
therefore, should not be taken into
the house for treatment, On my
my fathers farm there was an attract
i've looking hencoop about three feet
square made of Stats, which rested
on uprights 1t stood about three
feet from the ground We children
called it the hospital" because if a
fowl showed symptoms of sickness it
was placed in this little house. Here
without being annoyed by the rest of
the flock During the summer it was
an ideal place, for it was open to the
breeze and it stood under the shade
of large tree within easy distance of
the kitchen door. Under these circum-
stances it was easy for my mother to
give any sick fowl careful attention
Recalling this little hospital" suggests
the thought that any farm boy might
make similar one, designing it after
the manner of dog kennel, or large
bird house of one story, keeping in
mind the desirability of its being so
constructed that it may be easily
cleaned.
Outbreaks of diphtheria have fol-
lowed outbreaks of similar disease in
fowls, especially where the diseased
fowls were handled by the children
playing in the poultry yards where
there were sick fowls.-California

CLEAN AND FRESH
SHOULD BE MOTTO
OLE THE EGG-RAISER

lie Roy V. Brant, in the Califoria
Farmer, says: The care of the eggs
has a great deal to do with marketing
of the produce of the chicken ranch,
and the wise rancher does not neglect
to get the additional returns that the
care of this detail is sure to bring. In
fact, on the larger ranches the care Of
eggs is considered of such importance
that the greater part of one mans time
is given over to loking after this part
of the work.
The idea is that if the produce is put
up in the most presntable manner pos
sble it is very probable that much
larger price can be gotten for the fresh
eggs That is to say, perhaps, cent
or two dozen more may be gotten II
the quality and appearance of the hen
fruit is little above the average. And,
here we may say, it is not always so
much that the quality of the eggs is
better SO much as the appearance of
the package and the product itself. In
the large poultry sections of the count
ry there are thousands of dozens of
eggs that are of the same quality, but
the fact that few dozen of the pro-
duct appear better than any of the rest
is enough to insure one that he will get
a little more per dozen for his pains.
In the first place, never let any egg
al, = Il n
point that should be born in mind at
all times Think moment, Mr.. Poul-
tryman Where do you go for your
meat? To the shop that has every
detail spick and span, or to the one
where the floor and the counter is
dirty though the meat may be clean?
Or do you go to the dingy grocery
store, or the. one where everything is
modelled after the famous spotless
town? 1t will be the same thing with
your eggs. If the grocer, or the buyer,
whoever he may be, sees that your
eggs are always clean and bright he
is sure to give you the preference
over the man whose product is cover
ed with manure Therefore, see that
your eggs are always washed.
See that your eggs are closely grad
ed. 1t is cheating to sell first for
an extra. And you certainly would
kick if your feed man gave you short
measure on your wheat. The grocer
is going to kick il you give him small
eggs when he has paid for large ones.
And it will be found that if the pro-
Queer cheats a few times in this way
that he is liable to get the worst of it
in the long run. 1t never pays.
See that the eggs are kept in a cool
place There is nothing that is more
sensitive to heat than eggs. Although
il may seem that an egg is as good at
the end of the week as the day it was
laid it is nevertheless fact that if the
egg has been left in warm place its
keeping qualities are impaired at least
50 per cent. 1t is always wise to mar
ket the eggs twice week.
In the last place see that the con
tainers are clean and of good appear
ance. Although the eggs themselves
be of the first quality it speaks against
them if the case is dirty, and the filters
are covered with broken egg residue.
The buyer will pick the clean eggs in
the clean case every time.
These points mean dollars and cents
m the man ubo has rhick eus RI live
from, and every poultryman will do
well to take them to heart.
