% cents per pound live weight, which
made a total Of s64.s0. The cost OF
the feed fed the cockerels during the
six months was S32.4.
When three months old the cockerels
were separated from the other chick
ems. II cockerels are permitted to run
with the other chickens they do not
make profitable gains, and the meat is
not Of the best quality.
The cockerels were fed this ration:
Breakfast.-Wet mash, which consist
ed, by measure. Of eight parts Of bran.
two parts Of middlings. two parts of
ground oats and two times a week one
part OF meat meal. This mixture was
moistened with sour milk or water I'M
til the mass Of feed crumbled easily.
Scraps from the kitchen We're added.
Twice a week a handful of ground
sulphur was included In the feed to
purify the blood.
Dinner.-Half ration of wheat and
pats in equal parts.
Supper-Grain mixture, composed of
equal parts, by measure, Of whole corn,
cracked corn, wheat and oats. The
supper ration was maintained until the
cockerels were old enough TO prefer
the whole corn: then cracked corn was
omitted from the ration, and another
measure Of whole corn was substi-
tuted.
Weeds, lawn cuttings and other green
food We're fed to the cockerels. A
bountiful supply Of fresh water. oyster
shells, grit and a dry, sunny dust bath
were provided for the comfort and the
health Of the birds.
1t does not pay TO kill cockerels un-
til they weigh four pounds. The White
Plymouth Rocks l reared have aver
aged a weight of six pounds at six
months old.

FEEDING THE CALF.
Grain Ration Should Be Fed Dry, Not
Given In the Milk.

In feeding skimmilk to calves 1t
should be warmed to body tempera-
ture and always fed sweet, writes c.
s. Greene in Rural New Yorker. All
pals and buckets used In feeding
should be kept sweet and clean, as
much damage may be caused by in
sanitary methods. Feeding three times
a day is beneficial while the calf is
young, but at the age Of w or three
months twice a day Is all that is nee
essary.
A good grain ration may be made OF
three parts cornmeal, three parts
ground oats, one part wheat bran and
one part oil meal. 1t is better to feed
this Immediately after the milk In the
same bucket instead of mixing 1t with
the milk. In this way the dry grain
is eaten slowly, giving 1t a chance to
be masticated and mixed with the sa-
Iva instead of being washed down
with the milk.
A little hay should be given once or
twice a day after the calf is three or
four weeks old. For this purpose
there is nothing better than fine sec
ond crop alsike clover well cured. II
this is not available early cut clover
or alfalfa will answer the purpose II
of fine quality. The grain ration can he
increased gradually as the calf grows.

a pound of grain for every. 100 pounds

Do not make any abrupt changes in
feed, but make them very gradually.
extending over at least two weeks
for a complete change like from hay
to grass.

EHec. Of Oats on MIX Flavor.

There is very little basis for the idea
that oats In the feed Of a dairy cow
makes any decided difference In the
favor of her milk. according to recent
data collected by the department Of
agriculture. Trials were made In
which fifty persons expressed their
preference as to flavor of milk. and
there was no real decided opinion be-
tween oats and a ration OF corn and
bran. Oats. corn. alfalfa hay. cotton
seed meal. bran and other concentrated
dairy feeds-all viii produce a fine fla
vered milk when fed In proper proper
tions with other feeds, and there Is no
substantial evidence that any n Of
them is particularly superior to the
others.

FATTENING BR0ILERS.
Two Weeks Of Heavy Feeding Will Fit
Birds For Market.


Birds For Market.
Chickens designed for sale as broil-
ers should be fed and cared for as
though they were to be reared to ma
turity up to within about two weeks of
marketable age. This mean that they
should have as much range as possible
and be fed upon the whole or cracked
grain and the mashes suited to their
age. says Rural New Yorker. They
will thus develop a good frame and vi
tality that will stand w weeks OF
closer confinement and heavy feeding.
About two weeks before marketing
confne the broilers in a small pen that
Is clean. well ventilated and comfort
able and feed them twice daily all that
they will readily clean up OF a wet
mash composed Of cornmeal alone or
of cornmeal combined with finely
ground barley, ground buckwheat and
about 10 per cent of beef scrap. Many
chicks are fattened on cornmeal alone,
but a mixture of grains is better. At
noon give them a little whole or crack
ed grain and see that they have an
abundance Of fresh water and some
grit.
Feed all that they will eat, but be
careful not to clog them by overfeed-
ing. Skim milk for moistening the
mash Is better than water. Chicks will
not stand close confinement and heavy
feeding for more than about two weeks
and should be sold before they get "off
their feed"

BURR'S SELF CONTROL.
An Incident That Proved His Perfect
Command Of His Feelings.

An Incident That Proved His Perfect
Command Of His Feelings.
Aaron Burr was by nature and train
Ing a man of extraordinary self con-
troll. He allowed no circumstances to
throw him off his balance.
An anecdote told by Rufus Choate to
Richard II. Dana, recorded in Mr..
Dana's "Diary," illustrates the callous-
ness which aided Burr so greatly in
controlling himself.
Several years after the death of
Alexander Hamilton, killed by Burr in
a duel, Burr visited Boston, and Mr..
Deyereux of Salem paid him some at
tentions. The visitor was taken to the
Boston Atheneum, where, while the
two men were walking through the
gallery of sculpture, Mr.. Devereux
happened to catch sight Of a bust OF
Hamilton.
The thought flashed across Mr.. Dew
ereaux's mind that Burr might not care
TO be confronted with the sight of the
features of the man he had slain. But
no. Burr was undisturbed- He also
espied the bust, and. although Mr..
Devereux had instinctively turned
he walked up to it and said in
q loud tone.
"Ah, here is Hamilton"
Then, passing his fingers along GER
tain lines of the face, he added.
.There was the poetry"
Hamilton's contemporaries gave him
credit for possessing a poetic mind.

SHADE FOR THE HOGS.
Animals Thrive Better When Protected
From Hot Summer Sun.


There are some who argue that
where domestic animals become accus-
toned TO running In pastures without
shade they get along and 10 just as
well as where shade is provided. says
the Kansas Farmer. Those who OBJ
serve the comfort and contentment
that animals display when they a

In a hog pasture is on some high point
where the wind can have clean sweep.
Both hogs and cattle will seek such
