Bran a Good Poultry Feed.

Bran is one of the very best foods
that can be given to chickens, and es-
pecially is it good in the summer time
for it is not so heat producing as grain.
Bran can be placed before the fowls all
the time and they will not eat too
much of it. One of the main adj
vantages of feeding bran is that it con-
tains more mineral matter than ordi-
nary ground grain and supplies that
which may not be abundant in the ra-
ton. It is customary to add one pint
of linseed meal to two quarts of bran,
mixing this with four quarts of ground
grain. When made into mash bran
need not be fed over once day, and it
is excellent when given with clover
hay or alfalfa leaves or cooked pota-
toes

should be either finely ground oats
and red middlings half and half, wet
down with either sweet or SOUR milk
or buckwheat middlings and ground
oats
If a rich, oily table bird is wished
cornmeal and middlings should be fed
and not only SO much as will be eaten
up clean each meal, but such only as,
the weather being warm, has been
fresh mixed. 1t is also important that
the birds be freed of lice by busting
with insect powder, that the start OF
heavy mash feeding be done slowly
and that one sort of milk be used, not
sour one day and sweet the next. The
bird or birds must be where they are
quiet and out Of sight and sound of
other poultry. A little fresh water,
green stuff, charcoal and very little
tallow or suet daily are desirable. The
coop should be small, and if in a semi
dark place, as it should be, three or
four birds can usually be handled sue
cessfully in each coop.
If properly handled according to
above instructions your tough old
rooster will be a fat tender and juicy
table bird at the end of two or three
weeks.

Skim q Heavy Cream.

Setting the separator to skim rich
cream saves more skimmilk for feeding
to the calves and pigs. The cream is
sold on u butter fat basis, and the
skimmilk it contains brings nothing.
At this season of the year heavier
cream can be skinned than in the win
ter. Reducing the quantity of cream
to a minimum also lessons the labor
and expense of hauling it during the
warm weather. 1t can be more quickly
cooled and express will be saved In
shipping as we'll The skimmilk which
remains in the cream forms Jumps Of
curd when it sours, and this is disad-
vantage to the buttermaker. Cream
erymen always prefer the heavier
cream, and there is place on the farm
for all the skimmilk produced.-Kan-

A fair and representative sample Is
the foundation for an accurate test OF

should be stirred up thoroughly before

is very rich. sometimes testing as high
as 10 per cent Therefore. stirring
the milk is absolutely necessary. After
the milking has been finished pour the

the milk as possible a sample Jarful

Forest Notes
From q. S. forest serviee.)

There are 59T consumers of tannin
in the United States who use annually,
625,OOO cords of lemlock bark, 200, 600
cords Of oak bark, and 100000 cords of
chestnut wood.
Experts of thu forest service esti-
mate that the farm wood lots of the
United States contain from 200 to 300
billion board feet of lumber and from
one to one and a half billion cords of
wood.
All of the % counties of Utah con-
tain portions of national forests, and
consequently all share in the rs per
cent of the national forest receipts
which is paid over to the road and
school funds. This is true of no other
state.
One hundred thirty thousand maps
of the national forests have been dis
tributed to tourists this summer. These
maps show the best camp sites, good
hunting and fishing grounds, roads,
trails and telephone lines, and give di.
rections how to reach points Of inter

KEEPING WEEDS OUT OF LAWN

If one gets a good set Of grass In
the beginning and keeps the ground
fertiliZed by coating Of stable ma
nure or commercial fertilizer every
spring there will be little trouble with
weeds If the lawn Is kept properly
moved.
Some claim that there are weeds
that cannot be clipped with the lawn
mower. We have found this complaint
true where the revolving mower was
used, for it will bend and not cut wiry
stems, as Of crab grass and some other
troublesome plants.
The only way of getting these Is by
clipping off with mower that has a
sickle similar to hay mower. The
guards Of these machines raise up the
stems and the sickle cuts them of
without MASKING down or Pulling.
There Is no need Of using the hook
so much If one Is careful when get
ting mower, to get one that cuts
ahead Of the wheels, and as wide us
the extreme distance apart Of the out
side of the wheels.
This will not leave the strip along
the borders that Is mashed down by
the wheels.
Moles do great deal Of damage, but
may be run out by frequent rolling, or
may be trapped.
These may be destroyed by pouring
into the ant hills tablespoonful OF
carbon bisulphid. stopping the hole SO

LAGS IN VITAL STATISTICS
United States Far Behind More Pro-
gressive Foreign Countries In Sys.
tenn Of Preserving Records.

The United States has Jagged far be-
hind the more progressive foreign coun-
tries in the matter Of maintaining re-
liable records of births, deaths and
sickness, says Uncle Sam. However,
there has been in recent years a
marked increase in the interest taken
by state and municipal authorities in
the recording Of vital statistics. The
greatest difficulty in obtaining any
thing like a uniform system has been
the fact that under the constitution
the registration Of vital records must
be left to the individual state govern
ments.
1.-THE difficulty in obtaining prop er
registration of vital statistics Is not in
most cases due so much to absolute
lack of legislative provision for regis
tration as to the inadequacy Of the
laws or the failure to enforce them, ="
says bulletin Of the bureau of ths
census. much progress, however, haa
been made in recent years. In l9U'
no two states employed uniform blanks
for recording either deaths or births !
but at present what Is known as the
standard death certificate has been
adopted or approved by states repre-
senting nearly SO per cent, and the
standard birth certificate by states rep
resenting approximately s. per cent. OF
the total population of the country.
"Those who view with apprehension
the decline Inf the American birth rate
may take comfort from the fact that
the births in this country are still far in
excess of the deaths. The excess is
probably as great as so per cent and
may be even more, but its not pos
sible yet to estimate it with any de.
gree of precision. The population OF
the United States would, therefore,
show healthy increase from decade
to decade, if the present birth and
death rates were to remain substantial
ly unchanged. even though immigra-
ton should cease entirely"
