FOR FATTENING THE LAMBS
Experiments With Shelled Corn and
Alfalfa Hay Furnish Valuable
Comparison for Breeder.

W. c. Coffey. chief in sheep husband
ry at the University of Illinois, has
completed his experiments on the pro-
portion of shelled corn and alfalfa hay
for fattening Western lambs. The ex-
pertinent also furnishes a valuable
comparison of the feeding and market
Qualities of Wether and eve lambs and
shows the effects of early and late
shearing on the feeding operations as
a whole.
Western lambs which had been pur.
chased on the Chicago market about
year ago were used in the experiment.
These were divided into two main
groups Group one was fed the largest
quantity Of corn that it was possible
to get the lambs to consume, with Just
enough hay TO keep them healthy and
thriving. Group Two was fed a large
amount OF hay, with just enough corn
to put them in choice market condl.
ton
In experiment or group one four lots
of wether lambs were fed as nearly as
possible ike TWO Ol lne lotS VI "e'hei
lambs In experiment No. 2 three lots
of lambs were shared early and three
were sheared late.
I'm each experiment the lambs receiv-
ing the largest proportion of corn made
the largest gains The difference be
tween wether and eve lambs in feed
ing and market qualities were slight.
Shorn lambs ate more feed than un'
shorn lambs in warm weather, but
there was little difference between
them In gains and no difference in
market quality. Lambs left in the
fleece until the end Of the experiment
sheared from to 2.75 pounds per head
more than early.shorn lambs, and on
This account returned more profit

For the average home, chickens
probably offer the easiest means OF
satisfying the boys desire to work

will pay him little money
If that youngster OF yours Is bit
restless and has nothing in partiCu
lar to do, why not try him out with
few hens? See if he doesn't jump
at the chance to supply the family
table with eggs and broilers at mar
ket prices. You will be surprised at
the amount of time which he will give
to his live stock and in keeping ac-
count of his feed bills and sales, he
likely will come to be quite young
business man.
1t does not cost much to start boy
in business for himself and it may
save you money and even more
many worry. Try it.

A substantial house for 100 birds
can be built on the average farm at
a cost not to exceed $50 for materials
according to the outlines of a plan
recently sketched by J. G. Halpin OF
the College of Agriculture, University
of Wisconsin.
The house is 20 feet square, three
feet high on the south side, four feet
on the north side, and with the high
est point of the gable roof nine feet
above the floor 1t is ventilated by
enclosing the south side with wire
screen or cloth only, and by windows
on the west and east sides. The en-
trance to the building is on the west
side.

What are you doing to help that
boy use up some of his surplus
"steam'-a commodity which every
healthy boy possesses?
The task of keeping healthy boy
contentedly busy is not hard one If
the parents but recognize boy nature.
Have you ever asked yourself what
boy doesn't like animals and pets?
What youngster won't fuss for hours,
housing and caring for living crea-
ture-be it but crippled yellow cur,
or guinea pig?
Small boys instinctively long for
pets-dogs, rabbits, anything. Then,
as they grow older, they want more
profitable pets-pets which will give
a financial return for the time and
money bestowed upon them. If more
parents would take advantage of this

The floor area in this and every
good poultry house is determined by
the size of the flock and the proper

or more hens, each bird should have
four square feet of floor space. In
smaller nocks the amount of floor
space required by each hen is relative

BADGES FOR THE MEN

LONDON, Feb. 27-The Admiralty and War Office are now issuing blue enamel badges with the words "On War Service" to men employed by firms engaged on government war contracts. The badges show that their wearers cannot be spared for enlist ment in the army, as they are needed at home to provide material and equipment.
 Elaborate precautions are being taken to prevent any of the badges falling into unauthorized hands, as in case of the adoption of conscription their possession would be presumptive evidence that a man was excused from military service. Each man that re- ceives one is told that the badge is government property and that he must give a receipt for it.
