HARMFUL HABITS IN

Fowls VIII Pull Each Others
Feathers and Sometimes
Pick Holes.

(By C. 8. ANDERSON. Colorado Agricul
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo)
Did your chickens ever turn canni.
bal? Many a poultryman has discov-
cred old biddy denuded of feathers
and was at a loss to account for her
sudden lack Of modesty. The feathers
were pulled out by her pen mates,
and often the pin feathers were pick
ed out as fast as they appeared. When
this vice becomes established, chick
ems will go so Tar as to pick holes in
one another. and woe unto the bird on
whose body the blood Is once started!
Toe picking is a kindred evil, but
only among young chicks. They like
the taste Of blood and an injured toe
is q source OF attraction.
Close confinement and unbalanced
rations are the usual causes of such
vices. Both grown fowls and young
chicks need green food. meat food
and grit. and IL these are provided,
along with plenty of exercise, the
conditions favorable for the forma-
tion of the above habits will not be
present.
The best plan Is 10 kill the con.
flrmed feather pullers that go wild
at the sight and taste of blood. In
fiocks kept under close confinement,
the male birds are liable to have their
neck feathers pulled. II will be found
beneficial to rub the naked necks Of
such victims with carbolated vaseline

Der Of shade trees and shrubs and

ton also should be followed with all
branches that have fallen to the

the trees are SO badly injured that

The leopard moth In its adult form
has a spotted appearance, the semi
transparent white wings being thickly
dotted with blackish, dark blue. or
greenish spots. There are also large
black spots on the thorax and dark
cross bands on the white abdomen.
The moth lays It's eggs, either singly
or in groups, during the summer, usu-
ally selecting crevices In the rough
bark of trees as a convenient place
to deposit them. The larvae or cater
pillars hatch about ten days after
wards and at once penetrate the liv-
ing wood. AS they feed, they burrow
tunnels which frequently encircle COM
pletely the tree or branch. When the
larva has grown too large for the
branch In which It is feeding, 1t crawls
out and moves to one more suitable.
As thu insect remains In the larva
stage, feeding in this way, for nearly
two years, 1t is capable of doing
great deal of damage before 1t trans
forms to the pupa or chrysalis stage.
This II does in May or later. and some
time between May and the end of
September 1t emerges ~ an adult or
moth.
Damage by this borsr In largo parks
is often so severe as to render it
necessary to establish system of in

should also be taken to see that the
insect is not allowed to breed in
growth that is near valuable trees.

CLOSING UP LEAKS
IN FARM EXPENSES
Cost Of Labor and Machinery
Should Be Carefully Consid-
cred by Farmer.

By ALvA II. BENTON. Assistant Agr,-
culturist, University Farm, 81. Faui.
Mimi
Reducing farm expense is the cas-
lest way to increase farm profits on
many farms. Good crops and good
live stock alone cannot make farming
profitable. In closing up the leaks in
farm expenses the cost Of horse labor
and machinery should be carefully
considered. Cost-accounting records
In Minnesota show that the mainte-
nance cost of an average work horse
Is 800 annually, and that the main
tenance cost of machinery is is per
cent or more.
Two 160-acre farms in southern Min
. nesota forcibly illustrate how much
higher horse labor and machinery
costs may be ON one farm than on
another. The first Of these farms had
s425 worth of machinery and five
work horses; the other 1,S40 worth of
machinery and seven work horses.

the same as concrete.
The upper part of nearly all barns
is built of frame because It is SO much
cheaper than any other way Of doing
this work.
The clear space between the floor
and the ceiling is eight feet six inches.
1t is much better to have too much
head room than too little. especially
in a large, well-built barn, which can
be kept warm very easily. There is
another reason for building with
plenty of room. In this particular case
the litter carrier runs out onto a
crane that is high enough above the
ground so that the manure can be
emptied directly into the manure
spreader without all the muss that is
generally caused II the material IL
placed in pile and emptied into the
manure spreader later. II the ground
is on slope this process can be car
ried out very readily, but in some
cases a slight depression is dug SO
that the manure spreader can be run
into this and lowered enough so that
the carrier will run on the crane well
over 1t. The crane Is shown in the
perspective and also in the floor plan.
The floor plan shows most complete
ly the extensive and well-designed ven
tilating system. The intakes are
placed in the structural tile wall and
run over the cows and let the fresh
air in above their heads. The air is
then carried back across the animals
and goes out through the foul-air
shafts back of the cattle, from where
1t 10 carried in flues up along the wall
and along under the roof to the ven
tilators on the peak. The dotted lines
in the floor plan show the arrange
ment, with its various parts.
The facing-in arrangement is used
in this plan. but 1t could be easily
changed to the facing-out style II de-
sired. Such change would also In
volve a change in the ventilating sys-
tenn. and would make the inlets nearer
the wall and the out-takes In the cen
trail part of the stable. The tracks
would not have to be changed in any
way however, as the switches make
II possible to run the carrier on any
of the tracks from any Of the other
tracks. The floor plan clearly shows
the construction and arrangement of
the track, with all the necessary
switches.
All the interior finishings and walls
Of the barn should be as smooth as

PREVENT INJURY TO
The ORCHARD TREES
Warm Days During Spring viii
Cause Sap to FIoW-Mice
Also Cause Much Damage.

Often the trunk and larger branches
Of fruit trees turn brown in the spring,
This is due to sun scald. The warm
days during the winter and spring will
cause the sap in the trunk to flow,
which is injurious to the tree. This
injury can be controlled through the
shading Of the trunk.
It is a good plan to erect boards or
burlap sacks on the south side Of the
trunk of the tree; this will shade and
prevent the bright days of the sun
from starting the sap to flow.
Another injury that is found on
young trees, especially, is caused by
mice. The mice gnaw the bark on
small trees around which there is q
considerable amount of grass or straw.
To reduce this loss it is simply neces.
sary to remove the straw from the
base of the tree. II this is done there
will not be much loss.

made of enameied iron or japanned
iron, so that the water will not have
any effect on them.
Two silos are included in the plan
for this barn. In many instances the
owner may decide that 1t would be
better to build one large silo. but very
often 1t is cheaper to build two small
er ones. The higher the silo goes the
more 1t costs per foot to build 1t. and
very often IL is much cheaper, II care
fully figured out, to build two silos
that do not go very far above the
ground The feeding is generally very
easy in either case.
One of the details of barn that is
very important is the type of hanger
that is to be used on the sliding doors
In large barn such as this one there
are quite few sliding doors, and the
best quality of material should be
used, or they will be a nuisance The
kind that is chosen should have
cover over the track so as to protect
II from the action of the weather and
also keep the birds out of 1t. II
should be strong enough so that there
will be no tendency to sag or break.
Little things like this are often con.
sidered unimportant, but If farmer
had door break down during very
cold weather and had to nail 1t In po-
sition to keep his stock warm until
he could fix it, he would be much more
likely to consider such little things OF
importance afterward.
The floor plan shows all the equip
ment that is necessary to do all the
work In the stable. For instance.
hydrants are placed in the stable to
handle the cleaning. This is good
plan, because the stable will be warm
enough so that there will be very little
danger of the hydrants freezing, as
they might IL they were on the out
side.
The study of this plan will be worth
while to any man that is interested in
the best modern practice in the ar
rangement of dairy stables for the
maximum amount of convenience.

Three different kinds of material are
used in the construction of the large
and well-equipped dairy barn that is
shown here. The foundations are of
concrete, the walls up to the floor Of
the haymow are OF structural tile,
and the upper part of the barn is
framed.
Concrete is used almost universally
for foundations now. no matter how
the rest of the building is built. Struc-
tural tile makes most satisfactory
wall for several reasons. Walls made
of this material are very quickly built
and the air space in the tile forms an
effective insulation against tempera,
ture changes. Because OF the nonab
sorbent surface of vitrified tile the
walls can be readily washed down and
