Lactation Full and Free.

A great deal can be said in favor of
spring freshening of COWS, but pre-
fer that my cows come fresh in the
fall, says writer in Farmers Mail
and Breeze Early in October is a
time of year that suits me very well.
My COWS always are in fine condition
then, because they have been on
summer pasture. The result is that
lactation is full and free at that time.
The flies do not bother at that time
of the year. 1t is worth a great deal
for the cow and calf not to be worried
by them. The calf that is born in Octo-
ber has time to get a start before win
ter. and it is ready to make the best
possible use Of pasture In the spring.
Cows that come fresh in October
furnish their maximum yield of butter
fat at the time when the price is high
est. and when the cream is the easiest
to care for. Their slackened period
of milk flow comes in the summer
when butter fat is cheap, when other
work is pressing, and when flies make
the best Of mixers produce less.

HINTS ON POULTRY FEEDING
Quantity and Quality of Food That
Would Suit One Fowl Might DO
Harm to Another.
tBy 2. VAN RENrHIrYsEN.l

(By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN.)
There can be no set rules for feed.
ing. Fowls, like human beings, vary
in appetite. The quantity and quality
of food that would keep one fowl in
good condition might overfatten an.
other
We must approximate the amount.
The quality must be determined up-
on according to the object in view.
The plan adopted by the writer is to
give a large spoonful OF mash In the
morning for every two fowls in the
pen. The spoonful means about as
much as one would be able to pick up
in the hand.
At night, full handful Of mixed
grains for every fowl in the pen is
about all they can eat and that amount
will carry them over in comfort until
the next morning.
But when it is noticed that the fowls
do not readily clean up their allow.
ance the next day the amount should
be cut down and continued SO until
the appetite is fully restored
some 4OWlS can not only exist but be
prolific on almost half what would be
needed for others. When this is no
ticed in a pan it is advisable to cut
down their allowance to meet the de-
mand.
Sudden changes in the bill of fare
very often throw fowls off their appe-
tite. We knew of little experience
in that line short while ago. A fel.
low poultryman purchased lot Of
sweepings from the grain elevators.
These, sweepings contained wheat,
corn, fiaxseed, bran and middlings.
The fowls did not take kindly to the
mixture and the result was there was
a general decline in the egg crop. Just
as soon as the old bill of fare was re-
sumed the egg yield increased and is
still keeping up good record.
The moral is, when your fowls are
doing well on your present method of
feeding, do not make a change.

FARM MANURE IS vALUABLE

Temperature and conductabIIlty

1t has been known that some mate
rials are better conductors of cleo
tricity than others, and now Professor
Kamerlingh- -Onnes Of Leyden has dis
covered that at certain very low tenn
peratures many metals which are con-
ductors of electricity lose every trace
of resistance to the current and be-
come what-he calls 'superconductors.' y
The finest wires of tin and lead do not
become heated under the highest cur
rents. 1t is strange that when the
critical temperature is lowered even
slightly the superconductivity ceases
and the metal behaves as at other low
temperatures.
