poultry from poultry books and papers
written by those who are advertising
some special breed of poultry or
have for sale some special poultry
food or have on hand some other ak
to grind.
Because of this the profits are fig
ured too high for ordinary poultry
keepers to reach. OF course it is not
to be denied that in some cases the
profit from one hen for year may be
three dollars. / have made it myself,
but commonly it is apt to be nearer
one dollar.
A person starting in the poultry busi-
ness with the larger profits in mind
will not so closely watch the expenses
and this must be carefully looked
after to make a success, in this as
in any other business.
The profit is always greater pro.
portionately from small flock Of
hens than from large one. There
are several reasons for this. The
smaller f1ocks have better chance on
the range, are sure not to be over
crowded and there are so few of them
that the table scraps which they usu-
ally get will do them some good and
they individually receive more atten.
tion in every way.
Not knowing these things, begin
ner thinks if he can make a profit Of
say 81 a hen from a flock of 20 hens,
making a total profit of $40, then he
can make $1,000 from a flock of 500
hens, but he will find this quite diff
ferent proposition.
Usually the first thing he does when
he increases his flock is to overcrowd
the fowls. Then he will get but few
eggs while the cost of keeping each
hen is as much as though she laid
an egg every day. Besides this, the
fowls soon get sick when they are
crowded and then there is a loss to
go on the debit side of their account.
Another mistake is in thinking that
anyone without any knowledge of the
work can give the hens the proper
care and that all there is to do is to
The Winslow mail., 1916-09-22

throw the feed at them and gather
the eggs.
The business must be learned either
by study or experience, sometimes sad
experience
The problem of proper feeding alone
calls for thought. good judgment
and careful watching of the flock on
the part of even those who have had
considerable experience with poultry.
1t requires close observation and at
tention to detail to see that a flock of
hens is fed enough, yet not too much,
and that they are compelled to
take exercise to keep them in good con-
dition.
Another thing that often causes
failure is carelessness. After long
spell of taking good care of the fowls,
watching their feeding and working
with and taking thought for them, one
Is apt to have spell of forgetfulness
or carelessness and think, "Oh, I'm

CORN SUCKERS A HINDRANCE7
Leaves Seem to Perform Useful Office
In Absorbing Nutritive Elements
From Atmosphere.

Many farmers are possessed with
the idea that the suckers or earless
stalks, which grow from an ear-bear.
ing stalk of corn, are a hindrance to
the best growth of the latter; and
valuable hours are sometimes spent
in removing them. But, according to
Wallace's Farmer, actual experiments
during two successive years, on Ne.
braska farms, demonstrated that corn
with the suckers left undisturbed
outyielded that from which the suck.
ers had been removed. Their leaves,
like the others, would seem to per.
form a useful office in absorbing nu-
tritive elements from the atmosphere,
for the benefit of the ear on the main
stalk.
The Winslow mail., 1916-09-22

One of the leading features of
the production is the ancient and
oriental dancing of Mile Papanau
which are wierd, novel and high
ly artistic. Special light effects
and stage accessories are intro
duced in this act which cause
profound bewilderment. This
act, together with the dancing
of Reynolds and Trask are alone
Aorth the price of admission.
Miss Edith Doyle, prima don
ma of the company, has a most
wonderful voice; the black face
comediens are in a class by them
selves; the Wooley sisters, So
prano and deep contralto, in ex-
quisite duets. The entire per-
formance may be classed as min
strelsy, melody and mirth. Our
people are atsured of rare treat

deville and feature pictures

can get along without me fussing so
much" etc., and so the houses are not
cleaned and they are fed hit or miss
for time.
Take my word for it, such an attack
of "tiredness'' is paid for and dearly,
and the person indulging in it will
have some valuable experience and
fewer eggs if not fewer hens before
the flock is brought back to condi-
tion
1t is great mistake also to keep
old hens that are past their useful
nes for laying eggs. Often enough
of these are kept to eat up the profits
from the entire flock and the indus
trious hens, as we'll as the business
are condemned because the owner
hasn't the sense or the energy or the
courage to Gull out the old hens and
sell them.
Perhaps you hate to make your
flock so small but what is the use of
caring for and feeding 100 hens to
get no more eggs than you would from
90 with half the expense of feed?
Another place where the profits are
lost, often enough to cause failure,
is in the marketing.
Poultry products can be sold care
lessly on the open market for the same
price as other carelessly cared for
products, but by taking care with the
preparation and marketing these
products much better price can be
obtained.

FEEDING MILCH cows GRAIN
Ration Used by New York State Col.

Excellent Results.

The grain ration for feeding milch
cows used at present by the New

Two 32-pound, seven-day records
were made at the college this fall by
COWS eating this mixture of grain:
Five hundred pounds of distillers
dried grain, 800 gluten feed, 800 wheat
bran, 200 of meal, 200 cottonseed
meal, 400 hominy and 100 standard
millings.
