FuI r TIE W
IS nONTlE Season

State Agricultural College, Ft Col
lins, Colo.
The fell of the year is the natural
moulting season. A hens ability as Q
winter egg producer depends largely on
how she passes the moulting period.
While the moulting period can be
forced and shortened by the use Of
stimulants, it is usually best to allow il
to take its natural course. As. gener-
sl rule the hens that moults late and
quick are the highest producers and the
early moulter is seldom q winter layer.
To grow q new set of feathers is q
severe strain on the birds and the ns-
ture of their feed st this time is of the
utmost Importance. The common grains
such as wheat, corn and oats fed in saf-
ficient quantities will keep the fowls
warm and maintain the body weight,
but these body grains alone are not
enough. The fowls need some feather
making food, rich in protein and miner
al. A mash composed of equal psrts
by weight of wheat bran, ground oats
or barley, shorts and meat scraps viii
make very good supplement- to the
grain ration The addition of one-half
part part each of oil meal and sunfiower
seed to the mash will give the new coat
of feathers very sleek, glossy appear
ance. If the hens do not have full sc-
20 r. :
should be supplied. One of the best
green foods is cabbage. At TINS time
Of the year cabbage is quite plentiful
and the waste leaves and spoiled heads
make m excellent feed for moalting
hens.

FEED r Cooked WTu unv

Because of the surplus of white or
Irish potatoes now on the market and
the consequent low prices. many far
mers have been seeking information rs
to the possibility of feeding them to
ksgs.
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted in Germany and other foreign
countries rs well as in the United States
to determine the value of potatoes as
feed for swine In Ireand and Germany
farmers feed large quantities of pota-
toes annually. From experimental
data it has been concluded that 4 to
4 IL bushels of potatoes when cooked
are equal to about bushel of corn for
putting gains ON hogs Therefore, if
corn is worth 80 cents bushel, potatoes
when fed to hogs would be worth only
Is to ~ cents bushel. There may,
however, be instances where it would
be more advantageous for the farmer
to feed to hogs right on his own place
at least part Of his crop rather than to
haul these potatoes to an already over
loaded market According to that,
when corn is 50 a hundred potatoes,
should be worth 30 cents a hundred.
According to the concensus of opinion
potatoes are fed to the best advantage
when cooked or steamed and mixed
with other feeds. Experiments in
which raw potatoes were fed alone have
been reported. In certain instances
the raw potatoes are said to have
caused scours. However. raw potatoes

cally the same as the pressure down. ward at the same depth, down from the top. A cubic foot of wheat weighs 49 pounds. The weight of one cubic foot of wheat on top of another is 9S pounds, and the pressure on the floor of bin when the wheat is ten feet deep is 490 pounds per square foot.
 If the joists are placed foot apart and the bin is the same width as the driveway, then the weight on each jcist would be 4,900 pounds, and the pressure outward on the studding would be practically the same at the floor. The pressure outward on the bin five feet down from the top, when the bin is full, would be 2,450 pounds per square foot.
 These figures are mentioned to em- phasize the importance of making the center part of two-story grain house strong enough to support the load. The corn wings may be braced from the center studding, so that the corn cribs may be built of lighter material.
 Eight feet in width seems to be established as the most satisfactory size of crib to cure corn. The amount

ward. It is thought that an opening like this induces ventilation better, and it certainly gives more protection to the corn.
 This building adds a good deal to the appearance of the farm, because it is permanent structure. The old style of low. slated corn crib never has been considered much of an orna- ment, and its temporary character eliminates such building as an as- set. In taking an inventory of the farm buildings. the old-fashioned crib is hardly considered, but modern. up-to-date, two-story building fitted with labor-saving machinery, adds con- siderable value to the farm.
 There are different kinds of elevat- ing machinery. Some elevators work on the principle of a sliding carrier. Others elevate the grain or corn in buckets that work in a leg which stands vertical. Some of these ma chimes require that pit shall be made in the floor of the driveway, while oth- CTS have portable wooden pits or boots. Both kinds receive the grain directly from the wagon box.
 Elevating machinery is made to suit every case. Some designs are port able and some are stationary, while others are used either way. The port able elevators may be taken to the railway station to carry grain from the wagon to the farther end of freight car, and the same machine may be used at home to store corn ears and grain in the home granary.
 The driveway in this grain house also is used for the corn sheller when it becomes necessary to use such machine. Shelters for this purpose are fitted with carriers that take the corn ears from near the floor in front of the corn cribs. and carry the ears to the sheller, while the sheller car rier puts the cobs into hog racks to be hauled away to the woodshed for sum- mer fuel. The grain from the she'll CT is elevated to the bins overhead. The corn is afterward sacked from a chute extending down along the side of the driveway.
 In case the shelled corn is little too damp 1t may be transferred by the same chute and elevated into another bin to prevent heating. In very damp weather it may be necessary to handle shelled corn ieveral times to get the air through it, to prevent spelling.
 There are many advantages in Q two-story corn crib and grain house that is properly fitted with modern ma, chinery to handle grain.

FROZEN FISH SAFE

of safety which should be sufficient for all purposes.
 Tt is essential, however, that the fish be frozen in their freshest state and jacketed with a coating of thin ice which excludes the air. in prac- tice, the fish are now dressed by re- moval of the entrails as soon as they are caught, thoroughly washed. and laid in shallow pans.
 These pans are placed on the ice covered pipes of the freezer, which usually is at temperature a little lower than zero. After from twelve to twentyfour hours the fish are frozen solid. They then form a large cake held together by the freezing of the thin layer of water between the fish.
 This cake is removed from the pan and dipped into water, which Is at once frozen on the fish, forming a crystal glaze of ice like transparent varnish. This glaze dramatically seals them. No air can reach them from the outside and no moisture can evap- crate from the inside
 The glazed fish are then kept at l temperature of from seven degrees to fifteen degrees F. until needed for consumption.
 Frozen fish is thus the only fish produce the composition of which is not altered in some way by the process of preservation. Canning, rmoking, salting or picking all alter the flavor of the treated article. With frozen fish. however, the envelope of ice has only to be melted in order to give us back an article of food that is prac- tically identical with that taken from the sea. If it were not for such a method of preservation fish could not be depended upon as a constant source of food
 Another objection raised by the many housewives is the fish odor which makes them undesirable con- pany for milk, butter and other ar ticles commonly found in the family refrigerator. Fish can be kept in refrigerator without affecting other foods if it is first put in tin vessel with tightly fitting lid. As matter of fact, however. fish should be eaten as soon as possible after they have been received from the retailer. They should not be allowed to soak in water. as certain amount of their food material is thus dissolved. In- stead, they should be thawed slowly in an ice box and cooked as soon as this process is complet

Washington. Recent investiga- tions carried on by the department of agriculture appear to indicate that the prejudice against the eating of fish. especially frozen fish, because of the alleged danger of ptomaine poisoning. is quite unfounded." says a statement issued by Secretary Houston. "A par tial decomposition of either fish or meat may result in the formation of certain substances that cause diges- tive trouble. These substances are popularly known as ptomaine, al though many of them have not yet been fully studied and their nature de- termined The whole question is 8 very complex one. but there is. how ever, no reason for assuming that there is any more likelihood of pto- maines in fish than in meat. New processes of preserving fish by freez. ing, glazing and cold storage make it as safe an article as meat.
 This popular prejudice has done much to hinder the development of what might be a far greater industry and has prevented the people from obtaining wholesome. economical and attractive substitute for meat at the very time when the price of meat has been rising rapidly.
 Many persons eat fish only on fast days, and especially on Fridays. The idea that Friday is fish day has com pelled the fish trade to do what amounts largely to a one-day-in-the- week business. This, of course, has tended to make prices higher than necessary. With the increased de- mand the supply of fish would be much larger and if the consumption were distributed evenly throughout the week the waste would be much less and the prices should conse- quently be lower.
 Both scientific research and prac- tical experience have shown that a fish properly frozen and kept under proper conditions remains perfectly good for a period of from one to one aud one-half years. This. of course. is much longer than there is any need of in practice, and permits of q margin

of humidity in the air in the fall varies in the different farming sections. but it is good plan to provide a crib that will give the greatest amount of ven- tilation possible to secure at reason able cost.
 Ventilation in a two-story corn crib may be helped out by using woven wire corn mesh inside of the stud. ding. This prevents the ears of corn from stopping up cracks between the wooden slats. When wire mesh is used it is not necessary to have any wood en slats on the inside partitions. Slats look better on the outside of the build ing, and they prevent the rain and snow from blowing in
 It is recommended that the slats shall have beveled edges so placed that the opening slopes down and out
