CARING FOR EGGS PROPERLY
Ample Number Of Nests With Good
Supply Of Nesting Material Should
Be Aim Of Poultryman.

Poultry keepers may easily reduce
the number of dirty or soiled eggs and
losses that result. First, an ample
number Of nests Is, Of course, neces-
sary, but an ample number means no
more than, and probably not as much
as, are usually directed by poultry
writer's. Laying houses are, as a rule,
provided with enough nests, but where
the keeper falls down is in failing to
supply enough nesting material and
floor litter.
Obviously, the nesting material must
be clean, or the eggs become soiled by
contact, and it must be sufficient in
quantity, or the eggs are often broken
by dropping upon the floor Of the nest.
In houses where the dropping boards
are above the nests, and the custom Is
to sand the boards, small stones often
drop into the. nest and breakage re-
suits when newly laid eggs fall upon
them. The condition of nests should
be noticed daily, and the nesting ma
terial replenished when necessary.
An ample and clean litter on the
floor is also very essential when an
Al clean product is sought Particu-
larly is this true when the hens are
allowed outdoors during wet weather
The litter acts as foot mat for the
1ens on their way to the nests.

tBy E VAN BENTHUYSEN)
The most successful feeders OF beef
cattle are the ones who have made the
most correct Interpretation of the
laws of nature.
Many men who would make profit
by feeding out one carload Of beef
cattle make a failure when they
plunge into the business too heavily.
We must have good blood, but 1t
avails little unless supported by lib,
eral system of feeding and rational
care.
The future of steer is made during
the first year of his life; once growthy
and thrifty, it takes less food to main
tain that condition.
The well-finished steer at two years
of age will bring more money than
the same animal would at four years
of age in the same condition.
1t is great mistake to send un'
ripe beef cattle to market. They will
not ripen on the road like California
fruit.
One of the chief advantages Of feed.
ing small number Of animals is that
of getting better class of feeders.

TREATING HORSE FOR THRUSH
Hoof Should Be Trimmed Properly,
Diseased Parts Removed and
Strong Disinfeetant Applied.

CBy M. H. REYNOLDS. Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station)
Thrush in horses feet is frequently
caused by standing in filth. This
changes the texture Of the hoof and
infection follows. Continuous stand
ing on very dry floors may also cause
this trouble, while in some cases 1t Is
apparently caused by a contraction
Of the hoof.
When the horse is shod with ( high
heel and toe calks or the wall Of the
hoof is allowed to grow very long and
the horse stands on hard floor sd that
there is no pressure on the frbg of
the foot, the condition Of the frog Is
impaired and it becomes subject to
infection and disease. Cases OF thrush
need dry, clean stall.
Trim the hoof properly, remove the
diseased parts and apply strong dis
infectant over the sole Of the foot.
Any of the coal tar disinfectants may
be used full strength. Pure carbolic
acid may be used, care being taken
that 1t does not run down the heel and
burn the skin.
After the first strong disinfsctant,
calomel should be busted over the dis
eased surface and some thick clay ap,
piled to the entire sole.

DYNAMITE TO LOOSEN SOILS
I. Seems to Give Good Results for
Trees, but Is Too Expensive Tor
Ordinary Farm Crops.

fRv o o. CHURCHILL, Oklahoma EN-
pertinent Station)
The use of dynamite to loosen the
subsoil has been quite recently orig
mated. Since the powder companies
have advertised and developed some
interest along this line many of the
different experiment stations have con-
Quoted experiments to test the real
value of the work. At this time the
evneriments have not been conducted
for sufficient length Of time to de-
termine the real value Of dynamiting
the subsoil. The effect Of the dyna-
miting should last four or five years,
ar least this is claimed by the powder
companies.
We have conducted some expert
uents here at the college along this
line 1t seems to give good results
for trees. but it is too expensive for
ordinary farm crops. In some sea-
conc and on some soils the yield will
he increased to quite a marked ex-
tort from dynamitipg the soil, but in
other seasons it seems to have very
,,tt,a effect. AS stated above, we do
not have sufficient data to draw posi-
tive conclusions, yet at the same time
do not believe this practice will be
n-oftable with corn, cotton, oats,
wheat or, in fact, with any of our
common farm crops.

The quality of the feeders Is the
most valuable point In the whole
economy of feeding.
The farmer who makes beef from
his own corn which he grows on his
own land, under favorable conditions
can fatten beef cattle more cheaply
than any professional feeder In the
business. We often wonder why 80
few feeders make success OF the
business while enjoying SO many
natural advantages.
There is nothing in which the re-
suits are more certain, clearly visible
and financially satisfactory than In
the use of improved sires and good
dams on the farm. There Is no logical
excuse for the use Of inferior breed
ing animals.
Good breeding Is like intense farm
ing: The same amount may be pro-
duced by feeding few animals, good
animals that could be made by feed
ing a larger number of inferior ones;
the same as it may be produced by
working few acres in good shape,
rather than skimming over a large
acreage.
