first class eggs. Hens that are forced
to obtain the greater proportion OF

eggs of as good quality as can q

Eggs lacking in protein have a wa,

When ducklings are fed very heavily

quarters also cause weak legs. Shade

Rats seem to prefer a diet OF
duckling to one Of chicken when the
two classes of poultry are kept in the
same yard. For this reason, II all
rats cannot be wiped out, floors should
be used in the coops and the ducklings
should be fastened in each night,

vided. A duck should be full grown

is concerned.

II in the course OF the year past you

dinner, or the piccalilli that Mrs.
Thomas always serves with halibut,
ask for the recipes for these dainties.
They will probably be gladly given.
II is usually flattering to feel that the
food one serves is so appealing that
others wish to know how II 10 pre-
pared.
Here are some reliable recipes for
tempting pickles, each Of which adds
zost to the appetite and flavor to the
food with which 1t is served:
Ohio Mixed Pickles--Six green pep
pers and two red ones. one pint Of
small onions, one pint lima beans, one
fourth peck OF string beans, one pint

ings. Drinking dishes should be clean
and we'll filed with fresh water. Dur
ing wet weather confine birds to the
house; muddy yards cause dirty eggs
and dirty nests.
S. Make the Flock Comfortable

can eat, exercise and sleep during
bad weather. The house must be
wind and storm proof. must furnish
plenty of fresh air and sunlight, be
clean and free from draughts, damp
ness and sudden changes of tempera.
ture. Special pains should be taken
to keep the birds free from lice and
especially mites.
6. Fight Poultry Pests.-The most
troublesome pests are mites, lice and
intestinal worms. Mites live in
cracks and crevices. especially near
the roosts and nests. Spray the house
frequently and thoroughly, especially
during spring and summer.
Lice live and multiply on the hens
body. Keep dirt baths always avail.
able Dust hens with insect powder
or grease with blue ointment
Intestinal worms may be avoided
by raising chicks on clean, fresh
ground and by giving epson salts oc,
casionally in the mash.
2. Take Pride In Their Work.
Avoid frightening the birds. Know
the best individuals and be constantly
on lookout for sick or injured fowls
Take one or two good poultry paper,
and keep up to date. Improve the
flock by rigid selection of males ana
females. Toe punch every chick and
band the producers Enter the birds
at the county fair and welcome honest
competition.
8. Sell to Good Advantaae.-Study
the demands of the market and aim
to satisfy. Fatten the market stock
and fit the show birds. Separate the
most promising cockerels and hold for
breeding purposes. Market the bal
ance to suit the demands. Market
only strictly fresh eggs. selecting for
size and color, averaging from TWEEN
ty-four to twenty-six ounces peI

Some of the most essentiah points
necessary to raising and keeping
chickens are:
l. Have good healthy fowls to be
gin with.
2. or suitable age, not too old.
8. Keep the coops clean and free OF
vermin
4. Give plenty OF dust for dust
baths.
8. Have good food and measured
rations.
6. Dry mash must be given.
Z. Have two-thirds OF the food

FURNISH SHADE FOR POULTRY
Fowls VIII Not Thrive Unless Given
Cool, Shady ouarters-cornfieid
10 Excellent Place.
(By H. L KEMPsrER. Missouri Ex-

(By II. l. KEMPSTER Missouri Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Poultry cannot thrive in summer un.
less II is provided with cool. shady
quarters, The young stock will not
make economical growth, and there
will be a larger number of deaths
among them II their quarters are not
shaded With mature stock the egg
production will be cut down quite
largely because of excessive heat.
Ducks are especially susceptible TO
the direct rays of the hot sun, and
one should never attempt to raise
them unless they have shade. Poultry
houses set on blocks so that the chicks
can go underneath or orchards, patches
of corn, etc. are measures which can
be easily employed. Farmers will
find that a cornfeld will make one
OF the most satisfactory places for
raising the young as soon as they do
not require the close attention neces-
sary during their early life.
Patches Of sunflowers planted now
will be OF great value later on. and
the better growth the chicks will
mako and the increased egg produc.
tion will repay well any efforts made
TO provide more comfortable quarters
for the poultry hocks.

FARM
ANIMALS
SPREAD HOG CHOLERA GERMS
Disease Communicated to Healthy An
imaIs Only by Permitting Germs
to Be Carried to Them.

CBy DIR. b. r. sIMMs, Oregon Experi-
ment Station.)
Hog raisers need to be on the alert
to prevent the introduction and
spread Of the dread disease into their
parts OF the state. Since the disease
is due to a germ of microscopic size
IL naturally follows that IL can be
communicated to well hcgs only by
permitting the germs TO be carried
to them. A knowledge of the differ
ent methods of carrying the germ
from infected hogs to we'll hogs is es-
sential to prevention. Some OF
these methods of spread are as fol-
lows:
1. BY direct contact with hogs suf-
fering from cholera.
2. BY carriers, that Is, hogs that
have recovered from cholera, but still
pass germs with their droppings.
3. By humans that have come into
contact with infected hogs or prem
ises.
4. By dogs. coyotes, buzzards and
other carrion-eating animals that have
fed on the carcasses of infected hogs.
5. BY stock cars, stock yards, etc,
in which have been placed infected
hogs
6. By infected water.
z. BY slops, swill and garbage that
have been infected with bacon rinds
or ham bones from hogs that had
been afflicted with cholera at slaugh-
ter.
Germs will ordinarily die out In four
months in lot conditions, but are so
resistant that they survive the usual
curing and packing process as carried
on in the big packing houses. After
they have once found lodgment in
the hog there is no remedy known but
hog cholera serum. Growers should
therefore take every precaution to see
that germs do not enter their herds
by any of the foregoing means.

MAKING A PROFIT IN CREAM

The rapid development OF the ice

For these trades II is desirable that
the cream should test about 20 per

SWINE ON ALFALFA PASTURE
Desirable to Have Fields Fenced of
Into Suitable Areas to Shift Hogs
From One to Another.

By G. w. BARNES. Arizona Experiment
Station)
While few hogs can be raised con-
fined in limited quarters, provided
such quarters are kept clean. they
will do better, remain healthier and
produce pork more economically II
they have plenty OF alfalfa range.
II is desirable to have the alfalfa
pasture fenced of into suitable areas,
so that the hogs can be shifted from
one pasture to another. This will not
only provide fresh pasture. but will
give an opportunity to cultivate. and
IL need be to disinfect.
Practically all cases OF intestinal
worms, which are common In swine,
are contracted from infected grounds;
therefore, by pasture rotation you can
help keep your hogs free from these
parasites.
