along with the fowls as best they
may, without any help or conven-
nee
He used to think you know, that
his part of caring for the poultry was
done when he set the dog on them
to drive them out of the barn, or
threw rocks and chunks at them
to drive them away from the hog
trough.
The fowls were mongrels, and no
new blood was introduced into the
flock for years, the same stock being
kept until they died of old age, if
they escaped the Sunday dinner of
chicken and dumplings. Sometimes
a little grain was thrown to them and
sometimes they were left to live IN
what they could steal.
They roasted in trees, or on the
fences all summer and as long as they
could, without freezing, in the fall.
Then they crawled into some corner
of the barn or among the hay-stacks,
n survived the winter, with the loss
of their combs wattles, and some
times their toes, by freezing.
Not much in the way of eggs was
expected of them, n they fully
realized these expectations. Usually
they did not supply what eggs were
needed in the farmers family. and the
farmer often remarked to his wife:
Your chickens are a perfect NUS
ance. / can't set a thing Town but
they are into t." (poor things! it was
that or go hungry!) land they don't
lay an egg"
Conditions are changing. The most
of the responsibility for the poultry,
on the farms, still rests on the women,
but instead of being considered a
nuisance, the fowls are treated with
respect and consideration, as an i'm
portant part Of the business Of the
farm. They have neat, comfortable
houses, and yards, and scratching.
sheds. where they a be contenteC
and happy, and keep industriously a
work in cold as well as warm
weather. The farmer and his wifi,
both. now feel it to be a reflection OF
their management, if the hens do no
lay more eggs than the family uses
in winter as well as summer.
1t is a common thing to see a beau
tiful lock of pure-bred poultry on
farm and when farmers or farmers
wives meet, it is seldom they par
without asking: How are your hen
doing? Are they laying well?" an
unless it is already known, they ar
sure to ask each other: What bree
of hens do you keep"
They are studying the poultry busi
ness in all it's details, and are cage
to learn of better ways of caring fC
their fowls, and of ~onvenienceS t
use about the work.
In some neighborhoods the wome
Of the farm meet on certain after
Moons. to talk over their experience
with their poultry; to discuss tn
questions of feeding and caring fl
them, and to read together the poultl
helps to be found in the agricultur;
sections Of the newspapers.
This interest is not confined to IL
farms, but is also felt in the sma
towns and villages. At the meeting
of the aid societies, you will hear di
cusSions on nov to care for the he

growing swine has been fully demon
strated in the Western States, where
1t is grown abundantly, but in some
OF the North Central States it has not
been grown to any great extent and,
as yet, in those States, the value Of
this forage crop cannot be fully esu-
mated.

BY j. G. FULLER.

Forage crops constitute q most i'm
pOrtant part Of the food supply for
swine. Since there is little or no
profit in feeding hogs OF grain alone,
the swine raiser should arrange to de-
velOp his market nina as much as
possible IN dairy and farm products
and forage crops, leaving the heavy
grain feeding for the fattening and
finishing period. Most forage crops
are suited to swine feeding, and in
proper condition and stage Of growth,
provide at least a maintenance ration.
Native blue grass is a satisfactory
pasture for the spring and early sum-
mer months or before it becomes dry
and ceases to grow. By the middle OF
July this forage is of little value in
nan sections, as it is too dry, and
from then until the fall rains begin
to revive it again, should be supple
mented with rape or other Of the for
g crops that can be grown for swine.
However, it does furnish the first
green feed in the spring and is ALWAYS
relished.
Rape has proven a valuable forage
for swine. The animals are kent on
blue grass until this gets too dry, and
are then turned into a field Of rape.
The ape should be sowed in three
plats and at intervals of about three
weeks. At the Wisconsin station the
Dwarf Essex variety is used and is
sowed in drills % inches apart at the
rate OF six pounds to the acre. The
drills are run lengthwise of the lot. so

COMFORT OF THE DAIRY HERD.
In Order To Successfully Maintain a
Good Dairy Herd. The Owner Must
Provide Adequate Equipment Win
Which To Care For His animals III
at Least Three Essentials-COmfOrt.
Cleanliness and Convenience.

Good stable management IS an I'M
p%ortant factor in determining the
profits from the dairy herd during the
winter. The first essential is that the
cows be comfortable, because q COW
kept otherwise car never do her best.
She must have a comfortable place
to lie down. stand up, move and
stretch her limbs and lick herself all
over the body. She must have sun
shine and plenty Of light. She must
have pure air to breathe, and this
means thai the stable must be pro-
yided with some system Of ventilation
to give a frequent change of air.
This need not be expensive, only a
little fOrethOuSht and a few dollars
worth of material and labor. She
must have good pure water at least
twice a day, or better still, have an
automatic water-basin at her side.
The stable should be cleaned daily,
and be thoroughly disinfected. The
ceiling. floor and sides should be all
smooth, and of concrete construction,
| and the fixtures largely iron. 1t is
not expensive, and they are sanitary
m permanent.
Large, smooth, concrete managers
for feeding are about the best we
know of today. Judgment and COM
mon sense must be exercised in the
methods Of feeding and handling the
cows. Fixed rules in feeding are no
