LIVE STOCK J0TTINGs

1t pays well to look after the colts.
Those who have but a few head of
young stock are not in shape to lose
one, and those having good deal of
money tied up in them should be very
careful as to their well-being. The
loss or blemishing of one or two will
cut down his profit on the rest. So do
not get so rushed with your work that
you neglect the colts. See that they
have plenty of water and salt, and
keep a lookout for injuries they might
receive.
1t is cruel and shiftless to let the
pigs sleep on bare boards or damp,
dirty beds, and loss will surely follow.
The greatest feeding value in skim
milk is always found in feeding it to
young animals.
A good rule is to always keep the
calf little hungry. This will help
keep the appetite keen.
Sheep pens should be on high ground,
preferably sloping or rough If you
have nothing but low, fiat ground. do
not buy sheep. They do not do we'll

WORK OF A POULTRY
EXPERIMENT STATION
Finds Out What We Don't Know
About Chickens and Gives
It to the Public.

What is the work of a poultry ex-
pertinent station" This question is
often asked. This would lead one to
believe that because of lack of knowl-
edge concerning the work done the peo-
experiment station.
To give it in as few words as possible.
the work of poultry experiment station
is to find out the things we don't know
about poultry. then give the information
to the public through the press, in bull
letins. in lectures, correspondence, etc.
Is there any question concerning pou1-
try you want to know? Is there any
experiment you would like to see tried !?
If so. you should write it out and send
it to an experiment station, where the
officials in charge will be glad to con-
duct the experiment secure the in
formation of whatever nature it may be,
and report the same to YOU. Where peo-
pie make use of experiment stations
properly they are of immense value as
we'll as a point of economy to the entire
state. To illustrate. if 5000 people
wanted to know the results of some one
experiment, it is more economical to
support an experiment station to con-
duct the experiment than for each of
the 5000 people to conduct the expert
ments separately, for that would mean
5000 experiments tried. Then, too, the
men in charge of these experiments at
experiment stations devote their entire
time to the experiments while others
have other duties to perform which
often make a difference in the results
observed
The cost of the many experiments with
poultry is therefore much less if con-
Quoted by experiment station than
by the people.
1t is not necessary that it be a deep
problem with big name, for some lit
tie problems are just as interesting and
instructive An example of simple
problem is: How to boil an egg so it
will peel smoothly 1t has been found
by experimental work that the age of
the egg is the principal factor which
determines whether the white sticks to
the shell or not. for if the egg is less
than two days old the shell does not
come off satisfactorily, while if an egg
Is three or more days DID, the shell
comes off easily. Taking the eggs out
Into cold water perhaps assists some.

POULTRY YARD NOTES.

A combined Matching. brooding ano
housing coop which is large enough to
accommodate four hens and is as good
as a sixty-egg incubator has been de-
signed by the poultry department of
| the University of Missouri. Farmers
who have used this coop have pro-
lnounced it a success. This coop does
away with the little "A"-shaped coops
which are commonly given to hens
after they have Matched their broods
and which are soon outgrown by what
chicks remain after the spring rains
and rats have taken their toll. The coop
is three feet wide, six feet long, two
feet high in the rear and three feet
high in front. A door eight inches
high runs the entire length of the
back so as to permit easy access to
the hen. The front consists of four lit
tie doors covered with ratproof wire
netting. These slide up and down. Just
beneath the caves is a door foot wide
running along the front. The opening
made by this door is covered with wire
screen also By opening this door suf-
f1cient light Is afforded, and also pro-
| coop is placed four runways CORE
spending to the four openings. These
are foot high and three feet long.
They are covered with wire screen also.

correspondent writing to the Penn
sylvania department of agriculture
that she has several hundred thrifty
white leghorn chicks that have started
eating each other up, asks what to do
This trouble, while not infrequent,
is almost entirely confined to leghorn
chicks, and then only to such as are
| being reared artificially. 1t usually
begins with eye picking and toe pull
| ing. Having started either the eye or
| the toes to bleeding, they will first per-
secute the unlucky victim until it is
famed or blinded, and later on. as the
| chicks gain size and strength, they
will eat up the entire chick; or the
| trouble may start spontaneously by
| some individual injuring itself so as to
start the blood flowing, when the rest
will attack it and eat it literally alive,
| and thereafter daily there may be sew
eral victims. Like most poultry ills,
the best cure" for the trouble is to
| anticipate it by prevention. The first
prevention naturally suggested is to
supply a part of the daily ration ami
