PuLLETs FOR LAYING STOCK
One PouItryman Keeps Hens Through
First Laying Year and Then Sc
lects Best for Breeding.

How many years shall we keep
hen? This question comes up fire..
Quently for discussion, and the an
swers made by practical poultrymen
are bewildering to beginner. One
man says that we should depend upon
pullets entirely for laying stock. His
scheme will be to keep the hens
through their first laying season. then
select the best of them for breeders
and let the rest go. This plan is
based on the general theory that a
hen lays more eggs in her first year
than in any other Many poultrymen
seem to believe that most Of their
hens cannot come back and give q
profitable egg record the second year.
The system based on this theory de-
mands. OF course, vast amour. Of
work in Matching and brooding. in
order to keep up full supply Of pull
lets each year. On the other hand
there are poultrymen who say that
we may well keep our hens two. three,
or even four years, provided we have
the ability to Judge the layers prop
erly or have some system of wedding
out the drones.. Naturally If we could
keep our hens three years 1t would
mean less work at Matching and brood
ing.

FEEDING THE YOUNG CHICKS
Nothing Given Until Youngsters Are
Two Days old-Whole Grain Fed
at End Of Eight Weeks.

By c. e. BROWN, Minnesota Expert
ment Station.)
We do not feed little chicks before
they are two days old, but from the
beginning give them water. During
this period the hen is given her food
out of reach Of the little ones. The
first feeds are given sparingly every
two hours, and are usually wet
mashes.
After the third day we feed some of
the cracked grains, little at a time,
till, at the end Of the fifth or sixth day
we are giving the three feeds Of the
cracked grain. Occasionally we give a
little whole wheat, and by the end Of
eight weeks we are feeding most OF
the grains whole. II the chicks are un-
able to get worms or insects In suffi-
cient quantities, they must be supplied
with substitute. such as milk or beef
scraps. Green feed is given in the
form of finely chopped lettuce, a piece
of potato or turnip or mangel when
they are not able to run outside on the
grass.

|OVIAN WINS MEDAL
Greene County Farmer Gets
First Award at Big Fair
FAMILY OF PRIZE WINNERS
Have Taken Most Of Big Prizes In
The Corn Shows Wherever They
Have Entered-First In
Three Iowa Contests.

Jefferson.-Willard Zeller OF Greene
county has just received notice from
the Panama-Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco that his bushel of yellow
corn has taken the gold medal, being
awarded first prize in competition
with the whole world. All Of the corn
used at the Iowa building for dec
orations and display was raised by
Mr.. Zeller on his Greene county farm.
For several years the Zeller fam
lily have taken most OF the big prizes
in the corn shows wherever they have
entered. In the national corn show
at Dallas, Texas, in 1914. Willard
Zeller received first in the contest for
'one best ear OF any variety" first
for the "ten best ears OF any variety"
and first for the "ten best ears Of
Yellow Dent corn" In the Iowa Corn
Show he received the largest yield
per acre in 1912; had the grand
champion bushel in 1913, and again
in 1914, being the only man who ever
took this prize two years in success
sion.
Last year his son, Earl Zeller, won
the national championship in the jun
Tor class and was given a free trip
to Washington, D. c., by the federal
department by the president of the
United States.
After eight years of experiments
the corn is now made to mature ten
days earlier the yield is large and the
quality better. The grand champion
bushel Of 1914 Of 70 pounds by weight
has Just been shelled and instead Of
having IA pounds Of cobs, which is
the standard weight OF cobs. weighed
just 6 "a pounds, which means that
a bushel Of corn overruns a IA pounds
by weight.
The corn business is now immense
" profitable to the Zeller family. In
the general field with about the usual
amount of work they raise Is to 80
bushels to the acre. For the breeding
plots they have the exact information.
In the year 1912 Earl Zeller grew 141
bushels at a total cost for rent, seed,
horses, labor and husking of only
$13.73 and sold the entire crop for
$97.15, making a. profit Of $S3.42 OF
the acre. In 1913 he grew 1913 bush
els on his acre, but 1t was better
quality and at an expense Of only
$11.o2 he made q net profit Of $159.58.
In 1914 he raised 139 bushels on an
acre at cost Of $12.15 and made
profit Of $3.50.
During the last three years he has
raised 400 bushels and made net
profit OF $440.S0, all on single acre
of land.

THE SECRET

Of good coffee is to get pure, sound coffee.
If you ask your dealer he will tell you
that all coffees arc pure, az the law pro-
hibits the sale of substitutes as coffee.
Not all apples are pure although they
are apples. Some of them are often rotten,
Some coffees are windfalls, and whilst
the law allows them to be called coffee
they are impure and have harsh taste.
.Denison's Coffees are picked coffees, the
berries picked by hand from the trees,
consequently they are always pure and
sound in every sense Of the word, reliable
and delicious.
( Denison's Coffees are always packed in
cartons, bags or cans with the name on
every package. All others are limitations.
If your grocer does not stock Denison's
Coffees, write the Denison Coffee Co., Chi
cago, ILL.,, who will tell you where they
can be obtained in your vicinity. ADV.

LAW SUIT AGAINST BANKERS
Allegation Made That Document Was
Recorded In Name Not
Authorized.

Ida Grove.-3axter Bros. & Co., one
Of the strongest and most reliable
financial institutions In this part of
the state, were made defendants in
a damage suit involving $22,o50 by
an answer filed by Johnson Bros, the
attorneys for Lee Grant, in an at
tachment proceedings instituted
against the property Of Grant by the
banking house.
Baxter Bros. & Co. brought suit
to collect on a promissory note given
the bank by Grant and his wife at a
time when Grant was operating the
Ida Grove FIGURING Mills. Grant be-
came involved in a real estate deal
made In Kansas and to protect him
self and the bank, he claims he gave
the bank deed signed by his wife
and himself, but with no description
of property or consideration therein.
Since the Kansas deal turned out IA
vorably, and since he was negotiat-
ing for South Dakota land in ex-
change for the milling property, he
went to the bank to obtain the deeu
and he was told that It had been lost.
A short time afterwards it was re-
corded and in the blank space for
the name, the name Of r. B. Baxter
had been inserted. Grant AYERS in
his answer that he never gave any
one authority to make the transfer
or did he ever have any converse
ton with r. B. Baxter for its sale
to him.

In bringing the chick from the
hatch to maturity, the kind OF feed
to be used depends much upon the
use to which the bird is going to be
put. If the fowl is to be marketed
at an early age, rapid growth is es-
sential. The milk feeding method
will stimulate this rapid growth.
If the bird is to be used as layer
or breeder, on the other hand, there
should be slow but steady growth.
This can best be obtained by feeding
q wheat and corn or kafir ration sup
plemented by bran, shorts, sour milk,
beef scraps, clover, oyster shell, and
grit.
Many poultryman makes the mis-
take Of feeding only fat producing
foods. He expects the chick to pro-
duce bone, sinew and feathers from
this one food. Perhaps the grain
that is most frequently used in this
way is corn. A certain amount of
corn is essential in producing energy
and animal heat, but the mistake
should not be made Of feeding it ex-
clusively and expecting the little chick
to develop bone and muscle,
Ash and mineral matter are essen
tial parts of the chicks rations if
you expect it to develop into large,
strong boned bird. Some of this min
eral matter the chick gets from
clover, alfalfa and other green foods,
but not enough. Mineral matter,
therefore, is supplied in the form of
beef scrap and finely ground oyster
shell. The beef scrap should be fed
in small quantities. and the amount
increased as the chicks grow older.
Poultry authorities do not agree as
to whether or not the chick should be
made to scratch for his food. Some
advise shallow litter of light straw
or chaff, some a deep litter, while
some say to use no litter at all. One
thing is certain, however-the chick
must have exercise.
When the chicks are kept cooped
up and cannot run on the ground
they soon form the habit Of standing
around, and then the poultryman's
troubles begin. Artificial exercise
must be supplied. Some poultrymen
make the chick scratch for his food,
others suspend vegetables at which

Remarkable Double Tree.

There Is said to be in Kentucky a
tree bearing each year a crop Of wal.
nuts and a crop of mulberries; and
the curious phenomenon is accounted
for by the supposition that mulberry
seed fell where a walnut lay in the
ground. and the young shoots came up
side by side and united their forces
into one solid trunk This supposi-
ton seems feasible from the fact that
the bark Of the tree is on one side
that Of walnut and on the other that
Of the mulberry.

the chicks jump. When the chicks
can have access to an outdoor run
way they will, as rule, exercise suf-
ficiently SO that no artificial form Of
exercise need be supplied.
For the first week after Matching
a feed composed of hard boiled eggs,
ground shell and all, mixed with five
times as much rolled oats as eggs,
will serve as good feed. A little
finely ground chick grit and pulver-
lied charcoal should be sprinkled
over the food. Plenty of clean, fresh
water must be supplied at all times.
Sour milk is good If it can be Sc
cured. Finely cracked wheat and corn
should gradually be added after the
first day or two. A shallow box con-
tanning bran should be kept before
the chicks at all times. This should
be given to them on the first day SO
that they will form a taste for it. A
little beef scrap and cornmeal can
gradually be added to the bran.
Constant care, watchfulness and
patience are qualities of the good
poultryman, and the person who APP
plies these to the raising Of young
chicks is bound to succeed.
Be particular to keep a supply Of
pure water in clean vessels for the
hens, and grit where they can get it.
II a hen becomes broody when she
Is not needed for Matching do not let
her sit single day. AS soon as she
begin to cluck shut her in cage with
Slated bottom and set the cage on
supports where the air can circulate
under it, and the broody fever will be
cooled in two or three days.
Keep the chicks growing. Do not
be afraid Of overlooking them. Make
a little yard covered over the top,
leaving openings in the sides large
enough to admit the chicks while pre-
venting the old fowls from passing
through.
In this yard keep feed for the chicks
