PROPER AMOUNT TO
FEED TO CHICKENS
Some Hens Require More Food
Than 0thers-They Differ
Also in Preference.

The old rule is that five pecks OF
grain will support a hen for year
and one quart a day for IL hens is a
fair allowance; but it is well known
that one hen may consume even six
pecks, hence any attempt to feed hens
by fixing upon certain portion ci
food will fail in securing expected re
suits. They differ also in preference
of food and in their condition, a lay
ing hen requiring different food and
more of it than a ncDlayer.
1t is difficult to measure a mixed
diet, but there is one safe rule to fol
low, which is to give them half as
much as they will eat in the morning
less at noon and full meal at night
For dozen hens three or four pounds
of wheat can be put in the trough, the
birds allowed to eat until the last one
has walked away, then the quantity
left over can be weighed, which will
show exactly how much was eaten
Then the next morning give them
half as much as they ate before, but
scatter the food in litter and let them
work for it. 1t is better to keep them
little hungry than otherwise. AT
night fill the trough full of all sorts
of food that is at hand and suitable
for the purpose intended, and let them
eat until they walk away from it, then
remove the remainder In thus feed,
ing the hens it requires but two or
three days to fully understand the re.
Quirements of the flock.

FEED THE FOWLS REGULARLY
Stated Hours Keep Dry Mash Be-
fore Chickens at All Times.

Hens are creatures of habit; if fed
regularly. they will come up at feed
ing time, and go off contentedly to the
range or roost, says Wallaee's Farm
er. If fed at varying times they hang
about the feeding yard, and if the
meal is delayed, they evereat and may
become erop-bound-a trouble some
times called Sunday morning dis
ease," because the poultry man who
takes his Sunday nap without putting
out feed for the chickens Saturday
night, is apt to have frequent cases
of this kind. A lady who is success
full in getting winter eggs said:
The reason we always get winter
eggs is because our hens have estab-
lished regular habits, which means
good digestion and content If the
chickens of the Blanks have to wait
it is the Blanks-never the chickens.
A dissatisfied hen won't lay, and a
hen that is not fed when she thinks
she ought to be fed is dissatisfied
If it is impossible to feed at stated
hours, keep the dry mash before the
chickens all the time, and throw the
days allowance of grain in the litter
the night before.
Caring for chickens is less of bur.
den if we do it so regularly that it be-
comes habit to be gone through with
mechanically.

FoUR-FOoTED ORCHARD PEST
Best Way to Destroy Pockst-Gophers
Is by Poisoned Bait, Before the
Young Are Weaned.

Photographers are serious garden
and orchard pests. in some parts of
the country. These animals are pro-
vided with a pocket-like pouch on
each side of the head The pouches
are outside, independent of the mouth,
and, contrary to the belief of many,
are not used for carrying dirt cut OF
the burrows but for carrying food
The presence of mounds OF earth in
garden, orchard or lawn indicates the
presence of either a pocket-gopher or
mole. The burrow of the gopher is
sometimes left open temporarily,
which is not the case with that of
mole. Photographers are largely noe
turnal in their habits above ground
Hawks and owls, foxes, weasels and
the common house cat prey upon the
pocket-gophers. it is probable. too,
that the larger snakes devour them
A No. o steel trap may be set in
the burrow- by digging down a foot
or more behind a newly made mound,
The top of the trap should be on a
level with the floor of the burrow and
nearly covered with fine earth The
opening should be covered in order
to exclude the light.
BY far the best way to destroy
pocket-gophers is by poisoned bait,
particularly before the young are
weaned AS much powdered strych-

PLANT SOME FRUIT
TREES EVERY YEAR
No Better Way of Utilizing Spare
Time in Fall After Crops
Have Been Harvested.
(Bv MEADE FERGUsON.)

In the economy of man and of ma
ture trees are of great value not only
through the products which they yield
as food and materials for industrial
purposes, but through the influence
which they exercise upon climate, sell
and the healthiness and beauty of
community. The village home to be
beautiful and complete must have
shade trees and, if space permits, fruit
trees. The farm from an economic
standpoint must have trees for shade
and protection from the winds and to
produce wood for the various uses.
such as building, manufacturing tools,
by any ordinary process be rendered
fit for corn or grass and will bear
trees it may be planted as the only,
perhaps the best, mode of turning it
to profit. There are some tracts Of
thin, stony or gravelly soils covered
with no growth of any value which
will pay for no improvement whatever
except starting tree growth.
In the fall and early winter, after
the crops are harvested and the fall
seeding is finished, one could utilize
some spare time to no better advantage
than planting trees. There is always
room and suitable place for them.
Landlords could easily effect an agree
ment between themselves and their
tenants under which the tenants
would be required to plant and care
for trees upon suitable areas each
year.
In driving through the country and
particularly in and around small towns
one observes with regret neglected
shade and ornamental trees, of which
there are SO many beautiful specimens.
Perhaps a short list may encourage a
trial. For Towering trees there are the
double Towering crab, English haw-
thorn, pink horse chestnut and catalpa.
For striking characteristics there are
the camperdown elm, weeping beech,
variegated elder, Rivers purple beech
and the linden
Nothing adds more to the welfare of
q family than fruit. besides which
there is pride and Joy in producing it
at home. Think of the big red apples
and the long winter evenings of your
childhood. Then go out and put the
old orchard in shape, plant new trees
to take the place of the old and be
happier. II you have only town lot
ana not space for the standard sorts
plant dwarf apples and pears. They
occupy little room and will bear in two
or three years. Anyway. plant trees
every season, for they will grow while
you sleep, add comfort to your old age
and make your children glad, all rea-
sons worth consideration.

SOUND HINTS ON GARDENING
Strawberry Growers-use Wheel
Hoe Often to Loosen Soil.

The hill system of strawberry cul
ture is gaining in popularity. 1t re
suits in large berries that command
large prices.
Swiss chard is now generally grown
for green's. 1t should be planted in
rich, moist soil.
Keep up the supply of organic mat
ter in your soil if you wish to keep
up soil fertility as well as profits from
the crops grown.
Rapidity of growth is essential to
high quality in radishes. 1t also helps
to avoid injuries from the maggot.
Sprinkle the young cucumber and
muskmelon plants with air-slaked
lime to repel the striped beetle.
When cutting asparagus, don't al
low any of the shoots to remain The
smallest ones should be cut, even
if left on the ground.
Use the wheel hoes repeatedly in
the garden, so that the soil will not
become hard and compact. The rake
hoe attachments are particularly val
liable to conserve soil moisture
1t never pays to let the weeds get
start in either vegetable gardens or
small fruit plantations. Frequent
tillage is most effective as well as
economical in the destruction of
weeds.
| Keep the hand hoes sharp. A coarse
file is excellent for this purpose.
Are you looking out for well-com-
posted soil and manure that will be
needed next fall or even a year from
now? 1t is not too soon to begin the
preparation of such compost

PURE AIR REQUIRED
BY FARM ANIMALS
Impossible to Secure Good Re-
suits With Sheep in Neigh
borhood of Large Cities.

Animals, like men, attain their best
growth and development when they
have pure food and air.
In England it has been found i'm
possible to raise sheep with good re-
suits in the neighborhood of large cit
les. where the cir was polluted by
smoke and gas.
The wool obtained from these city
bred animals was of such poor quail
ity that it did not pay to rear them.
No doubt this was due partly to the
fact that the grass on which the ami
mails fed was also of poor quality.
Horses which are brought up in
fresh country air attain their growth
more quickly, and it takes less food
and care to keep them in good con-
dition.
