FEEDING DAMAGED GRAIN A
POOR PRACTICE.
ROY H. WAITE.
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

There is always a temptation wher
mouldy or spoiled grain is around to
give 1t to the chickens SO as not to
waste it. While often no i'll effects
follow this practice. stu there is con.
siderable danger attached to the prac.
tice. The argument is often advanced
that chickens running around natural
ly at large. eat feed in whatever state
they find it.. and still keep perfectly
healthy. This may be true. but under
these conditions the birds probably do
not get an especially large dose" of
any one particular kind of spoiled
grain and their digestive system is
able to handle 1t.
Where one feels he simply must
feed damaged grain to poultry some
precautions should be taken II might

temperature on the kitchen stove.

used. Another method might be to
scald the grain with boiling water a
short time before feeding. The safest
method If it is at all bad. is to use the

Head back judiciously. Heavy prun-

some instances it may be necessary to
stimulate the development of new
wood Trees that seem to be lacking
in yigor, that are apparently not
making much Roadway, can often be
rejuvenated and brought into thrifty
condition by severe cutting. As q
rule. however, 1t is advisable to re-
move only about one-fourth to one
third Of the new wood from young
trees making normal growth. This
applies principally to such trees as
apple and pear that produce fruit buds
on old wood. With the peach, condi-
tons are different. Here the fruit
buds are developed on new wood,
hence it may be profitable to cut back
these trees more severely so as to
stimulate a heavier growth Of annual

RULES TO OBSERVE IN DEVELOP.
ING A PARCEL POST TRADE.

L. B. FLOHR,
U. S. ONCE Of Markets, before the
Maryland State Grange, Dec.
16, 1914.
One Of the biggest difficulties in IN.
dertaking to develop or build up a
market by parcel-post is to md your
customer AS the old darkey's recipe
for chicken pot-pie ran First get your
chicken" SO parcel-post marketing is
contingent upon first getting your GUS
toner. The impression first made
with your customer largely determines
the continuance Of the business, and
right here, might as well speak OF
quality. II would hold him, don't try
to market anything you would not be
willing to use yourself. Study the
wants and desires of your customer
and supply him with what he wants
and is willing to pay for. II after
studying this matter over and perhaps
after making trial. you decide that
1t is too much bother, would then
say to you. "If you are not willing to
hustle for a better market than you
now enjoy, don't kick about the re-
turns you receive" The only way to
secure business is to go after II, and
once you have 1t keep 1t by all proper
means.

taking place. The glowing descrip-
lions of the life and activities Of the
city. and our elementary readers are
full of these descriptions, have served
to give the country boys and girls
false comparison, they have oyeresti-
mated the opportunities Of the one and
deprecated the other. That there is
tendency for rural people to permit
the city people to set for them their
ideals, l need to remind you only OF
the tendencies of the times In the mat
ter of styles and the use Of food stuffs.
The garment designers of the city
change the styles each season and we
as country people accept their crea-
tions as though 1t were a necessity.
The city man buys practically all Of his
food stuifs in package form because 1t
is about the only form in which II is
available, but when the country home
uses these food stuffs 1t is matter of
choice, and the housewife pays for the
false economy. Again why should the
rural child study in detail the com
merce, the mountains, the rivers, the
cities, the plant life. the history and
literature Of foreign or that Of coun-
tries that have ceased to exist. and
completely ignore those things aboE,
them. believe in studying the things
that are foreign, but believe in study
ing them in their relation to our own
country and our own locality. The
boy or girl who becomes thoroughly
familiar with his own community. its
opportunities, its history. its organiza-
lions will in due time reach out and
learn something about the outside
world. Through comparisons he will
be able to fully appreciate his own
comforts and well being.
