THE FARM FLOCK.

That the farm flock can be made
to pay bigger dividend on the In
vestment than city-kept flock is
very evident to those who give the
matter any serious consideration. 1t
is, therefore. evident that many far
mers are overlooking a very profit
able branch Of their business.
The farm is the natural place for
the development of the poultry in
dustry. Open range, cheap food. low
cost Of labor and equipment are the
items that make this condition true.
Here fowls can be kept in large num-
bers at the lowest practicable ex-
pense. while the farmer can secure
as large production, maintain as
high standard in quality. and mar
ket his products to as good advan-
take as anyone else.
The Ohio experiment station has
made some careful Investigations as
to the comparative cost of keeping
farm and city fiocks and finds that
the average cost of keeping the farm
hen is 80 cents per year and that of
keeping the city hen $1.57. This
lower cost is the result of cheaper
foods, open range and utilization of
waste products. In this comparison,

Milk Diet for Chicks.

This paragraph is written for the
benefit of those who have a milk sum-
ply that can be used for feeding
chicks. We know many farms where
great deal of milk that might 20
toward producing splendid chickens
is wasted or allowed to be used for
less profitable purposes. As a food
milk has many elements that it
would be necessary to supply In the
form Of several other foods and the
growth attained by milk-fed chicks
Is simply astonishing to those who
have never tried it. Sour milk IL
best. Sweet milk in large quantities
often causes diarrhoea.
Chicks on milk diet develop flesh
and frame very rapidly and the quail
ity of the flesh is superior. Those
raising market poultry will find the
results of milk feeding particularly
satisfactory. The chicks should be
started on a good quality commercial
chick feed, steel-cut oats, bread
crumbs, hard boiled eggs, soaked
bread squeezed out dry, or most any
good fine cut mixed grains. After
about tho third day keep the sour
milk before them, not forgetting that
plenty of good clean fresh water
should always be at hand. After
about three weeks time coarser
grain in the form Of commercial
growing food" should be substituted
for the finer grains. It is also good
plan to feed q meal OF crumbly wet
mash occasionally. Beef scrap Il not
necessary when milk is fed. Do not
overlook green food. grit and char

TIE BY-PRODTCT OF
THE HEN.

Comparatively few pou!trymen
seem to realize the value of hen ma
nure as by-product OF, poultry rails
ing. Those who have given the mat
ter careful study claim that from 25
10 40 cents per year is the value of
the fertilizer produced by each hen
in the flock. and the poultryman who
fails to make use of this product of
his flock Is surely overlooking a bet.
Hen manure. like all other forms
of guano, is rich in ammonia and
phosphate and makes a most excel
lent fertilizer. When the droppings
are removed from the house they
should not be piled in the open where
the weather can dissipate much Of
the valuable material, but should be
kept under a shed or covering of
some kind until wanted. In preserv-
ing the droppings few have advised
that they be dried. This is mis-
take, however, as it tends to make
tuc lAduuIc uoI u duu iuoOluUlc. uc
idea is to keep them damp but not
wet.
Because Of it's extraordinary
strength hen manure should not be
applied in such a manner that it
comes in direct contact with the
seeds or roots of plants, for it is
almost sure to burn" the crop. For
garden crops the manure may be
spread in thin layer over the
ground and ploughed or spaded in,
while for greenhouse crops it is bet
ter used in liquid form. The safest
and most satisfactory form in which
to use 1t for general purposes is to
mix 1t with several times its bulk of
loan and apply 1t to the ground.
A thousand pounds of poultry ma
nure to an acre of ground is just
about the most profitable fertilizer
that can be used and the poultryman
that allows this hen manure to go to
waste is simply cutting off q large
part of his profits.
