mixed was $6.92. The average gain
In weight of the sows fed the former
ration was ninety -shree pounds and Of
the latter ration ninety-six pounds.
The gain produced by the two ra-
lions was nearly the same. but the cost
OF feed for wintering SOW on the ra-
ton of corn and alfalfa mixed was
$163 more than on the other ration.
With the prices of feed and hogs as
stated, the average gain in weight of
the sows fed alfalfa hay In rack
more than paid for the feed eaten.
while the average gain on the sows
fed half grain and half alfalfa lacked
$I.25 of paying the cost Of the feed
eaten.
The average of the four tests shows
that it required 90 bushels Of corn and
Sc pounds of alfalfa hay, or S.S4 BUSH
els of corn and 400 pounds of chopped
alfalfa hay TO keep sow weighing
3S7 pounds through the winter of four
months and increase her weight about
ninety-five pounds. 1t is probable that
half alfalfa is too great proportion
for feeding to hogs even for keeping
them through the winter when little or
no gain in weight is desired.
In these four tests feeding a very
light grain ration and letting the sows
eat alfalfa at will from a rack proved
q better practice than mixing the grain
and chopped alfalfa in equal proper
lions and thereby compelling the sows
to eat a pound of alfalfa with each
pound of grain.

not easy for the scalding water to pen
citrate. Common practice is to wrap
them in an old blanket after scaldinS
and allow them to steam. Some pack
ing Establishments use steam success
fully and in this way give them dry
scald.
BY far the best method Is dry pick
ing-that is, the removal Of the feath-
ers without wetting-and this is the
method favored by most Of the eastern
markets and is best adapted when
they are to be kept In cold storage. In
general practice the bird is plucked
while dying. when it has lost con-
seriousness and is insensible to pain,
but when the relation between nervous
and muscular systems still continues.
Cooling has most marked effect on
the appearance and keeping qualities
Of the body. The sooner 1t is cooled
after death the better.
Two methods of packing are resorted
to. dry packing and wet or ice packing,
and the latter is the one generally used
In dry packing the birds are shipped in
boxes, and this method can only be
used when the weather is cold and the
distance short, and special packing
boxes are used so the birds will show
to the very best advantage. When ice
packed they are generally shipped In
large barrels. A layer of clean ice is
placed in the bottom Of the barrel. then
q layer of birds, packed in circle with
backs up; then another layer of Ice and
the birds SO arranged that they never
touch the sides of the barrel.
The careful marketing Of the feathers
should bring In sufficient revenue to
pay for the killing. dressing and mar
keting of the birds If they have been
dry picked. Scalding greatly reduces
the value OF the feathers.

USES OF MANURE SPREADER
May, When Not In Service, Be Utilized
as Wagon.

May, When Not In Service, Be Utilized
as Wagon.
Investigations by the federal Office
Of farm management show that de-
probation for the manure spreader Is
approximately 11.6 per cent annually.
Owing to the fact that it is required to
carry byprOduct which contains more
or less moisture, part of the de-
probation is undoubtedly due to the
decay Of the wood in the framework
If this and similar machines could be
utilized to greater extent they should
last almost as long, and in doing the
additional work the yearly charge in
connection with operation could be
more completely met. ordinarily the
manure spreader is in use at seasons
of the year when the field work is not
demanding attention. While the har-
vest is in progress it is idle, hence
available for other work.
In districts where field roots, such
as mangel wurzels, sugar beets or tur-
ullJS, are SIONn LuG IhdLulS SpltdN-
er may serve as a wagon in transfer
ring the crop from the field TO the
root cellar or pit. a simple adjust
ment will enable the farmer to save
considerable time, as well as the task
of unloading with the aid of shovel.
The cylinder or spreader is first re-
moved from the end Of the box and
suitable end board set In place.
the latter being held by an iron bar or
rod. When the load is taken to the
cellar the end board can be lifted out
readily. and the roots may be rolled
into the trapdoor merely by putting
on the crank which connects with the
apron shaft and turning by hand until
the entire lot has been discharged. 1t
requires only a few moments to de-
liver the load.

SOUR MILK FOR EGGS.
Poultry Need Some Kind of Anima
Food In the Ration.


Milk or meat in the ration may make
ali the difference between profit and
loss, says Ii. L. Kempster, professor OF
poultry husbaDdry of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture. We know from
our tests at the experiment station and
from the experience of poultrymen ev-
erywhere. We got only $40 eggs from
a pen of hens that ate no animal food
while another pen Of hens, no better in
any way, but fed sour milk, laid 1,7S3.
Those fed beef scrap laid 1902 eggs.
While this is higher record than
either of the others, the sour milk Is SO
much cheaper and easier TO get Oh
most farms that we recommend it
most highly. At 20 cents dozen the
eggs from the hens fed sour milk
brought S29.71 and those from the hens
fed scrap beef S30.03. The difference
wouldn't begin to pay for the extra
cost and trouble OF beef scrap.
The big thing to remember Is that
the hens fed no animal food brought
little more than half as much egg
money. Theory and experience both
say. Feed the laying hen sour milk as
part OF her ration"
A good sour milk ration: Corn, four
parts; wheat, two parts; bran mid
dlings. one part: cornmeal. one part;
sour milk separately. Give 100 hens
two and one-half gallons Of milk and
from nineteen to twenty-five pounds of
other food day.
