PRUDENT TREATMENT OF EVE
In Winter Keep Her on Glover or Al
fsIfa Hay Until After Lamb
Comes-Give Some Wheat Bran.

A sensible treatment of the eve
that lambs in winter is to keep her
mostly on clover or alfalfa hay until
after her lamb Gomez. There will be
no need to limit the amount of hay
that she consumes after lambing and
then when her lamb takes all her
milk and wishes more, begin feeding
her little wheat bran. For week
bran will suffice, gradually increasing
the amount fed. then there may be
added to 1t little chopped corn or
barley and little later some oil-meal.
A pound a day of this mixture will
keep her In good milk flow and 1t
must be gradually led up 70 for about
ten days.
About the right proportions of this
mixture are 10u pounds of wheat bran.
100 pounds OF chopped corn and 20
pounds of oil-meal This with clover
or alfalfa hay will push her to a very
heavy milk flow. II she Is large
eve she may consume more than a
pound to advantage, as much as two
pounds being consumed by some large
Dorset ewes.
II this feed is 80 gradually intro
duced to the eve that her digestion Is
not disturbed nor her milk flow stim-
ulated too much at first, there is small
danger OF overlooking her, supposing
that the lamb is to be pushed for
early market. Her unselfish nature
turns the feed quickly into milk and
little OF 1t goes to nourish her own

Green Bone for Fowls.

Green bone can be fed advanta
geously to fowls intended for different
purposes and kept under different
conditions. 1t is great help in has
tening the growth of young birds. but
the greatest help Of this food to the
average poultry raiser is in feeding It
during the winter months to supply
animal food, When fed to laying
hens the yield will be increased won
derfully. and the poultry raiser will
be well paid for the labor expended
In cutting. II Is food which all
fowls eat readily, and one that must
be fed judiciously.

First, know what sort OF a bird is q
prize winner. To do this study the
pictures OF winning birds that are
shown in the farm papers and poultry
journals. Compare the best of your
flock with these. When you go among
the flock to pick your birds. look for
those that have grown rapidly. and are
well feathered.
Don't take those that have dull. life
less feathers.
Don't take any that are out of pro-
portion, or that show any sort OF a
malformation, as a crooked back or
brcastbone.
Don't take birds which are sup
posed to have clean legs and feet and
which have feathers there instead. II
doesn't pay to show fowls which will
be disqualified
There are minor faults. however,
which may be overlooked. For 1t
doesn't matter greatly whether a cock
erel has one too many points on his
comb. Too much stress should not be
laid on faults which do not really dis
qualify.
After the birds are selected. they
should be tanned. Tame birds act bet
ter In the show room. Take them up
and handle them Practice putting
them into show coops. handling them
carefully SO as not to frighten them.
Never take bird up by its feet. Put

DAIRY
KEEP BUTTER DURING WINTER
To Retain Its Quality Temperature OF
Cellar Should Be Maintained az
Low as Possible.

A supply of butter that will keeJ
through the winter Is much desired on
most farms. but many find It dinicult
to produce It, There are two or three
secrets that must be observed First
II the cellar Is musty, II must be care
fully scraped and cleaned and the side
walls and ceiling swept. Then it will
be well to whitewash II carefully with
little formaldehyde In the lime. To
spray 1t with a force pump is easy.
fumigation with at least pound of
sulphur is another way OF destroying
the must germs. The cellar should be
closed tightly for several hours while
the fumigation is In process.
What makes a cellar damp or
mssty? Usually II is because some
thrifty person is anxious to keep II
sweet and let's in the warm air of the
day. Warm air contains large
amount of moisture, which is precipi.
tated upon the cold walls, and It nat
urally follows that the cellar is first
damp, then musty and, later, moldy.
Ventilate cellars only during cold
nights.
Now the butter. The cream should
be ripened only to a point OF pleasant
acidity. Stop the churn when the
granules OF butter have begun to come
and have massed to the size of kernels

put In an equal amount OF clear, cold
water. Revolve once or twice and

the water runs out clear. Then salt

stone jars, and over its hard-pressed,
level top, spread disk of parchment
paper wet. On this lay fine salt an
inch deep. Then tie a tough paper over
the top to exclude dust, and place the
jar at once in the coolest, cleanest
part of the cellar. To make butter re-
tain its quality, the temperature of the
cellar should be maintained at as low
and even temperature as is possible.
Vegetables and other things that may
produce odors must be excluded.
DO not be persuaded that the addl-
tion OF saltpeter or sugar or any other
substance is necessary to the preser-
walton OF butter. Salt alone IL needed.
and one ounce to the pound Is sufii-
cient. Never use cracked or musty
or 'lardy" jar. The old-fashioned
stone Jar that is well glazed has never
been superseded by anything better
for holding butter. Where butter is

washing is not needed and the flavor
will be higher II the buttermilk is not

1000 pounds butterfat.
The 80 cows highest on the list gave
an average of 1887 pounds milk, and

out by grasping II by the thighs, over
the wing and under the breast. In
this way the bird cannot flap its wings
and break them, and you cause Il no
discomfort. Practice up on some Of
your common stock before you tackle
your show birds. When you have
learned how to do 1t you can handle
them all you wish.
Do not overfeed your birds before
shipping. II you are going to ship to
a show where the birds are weighed
in, see to II that they arrive at the
show rooms with good appetites. The
show management will see to II that
they are properly fed before being
weighed. Feed Just what they will
clean up and remove the rest. IL
doesn't pay to cram before shipping.
When they arrive. they have no appe.
tites. and are weighed in to poor ad-
vantage.
The male birds should be kept sepa-
rate Otherwise the two best ones
are almost sure TO get to fighting Just
before the show, and will thus be out
of condition. II you must keep them
together, be sure that your show bird
Is master of the coop. Otherwise he
becomes cowed and will not show to
good advantage.
II In doubt In regard to any points
about your birds. consult some local
authority who can tell you just which
is the best bird.

Feed White clover HAY.

White clover hay is the richest in
lime. Feeding clover is a preventive
OF soft-shelled eggs. Cut clover hay
has helped reyolutionize the poultry
business. Red clover hay contains
about twenty-eight pounds of lime, to
the thousand pounds. Scald the hay
at night, and keep It covered. so It can
steam. See that the clover is cut to
one-third to one-half inch lengths
When longer it is apt to pack in the
crop, causing cropbound.

Note that you should not fry too
