TIMELY POULTRY HINTS.

Charcoal Is one OF the most essen
tial articles Of food for poultry.
Clean the poultry house once a week
at least. 1t is useless to spray and
powder a dirty house.
Fer winter egg production the pOul-
try house must be warm and dry,
well lighted and ventilated without
drafts.
Keep the hens moving, making them
work for all they eat by throwing the
feed in cut straw or other suitable ma
terial
Feed variety Of grain, wheat, oats,
barley, cracked corn and buckwheat.
Mix them together before feeding.
Green cut bone with q little lean
meat on it is the best kind Of animal
food for winter layers. This IL re-
qulred to take the place Of bugs and
WORMS that hens pick up during warm
weather
Bone and meat for hens should be
reasonably fresh. Feed lightly on the
start, as overlooking at first may cause
trouble. An ounce to q fowl a day o.
every other day win be SUFFICIENT.

pork production. We have in mind
now the use Of alfalfa hay as feed
for wintering brood sows, says the
Kansas Farmer. A mature SOW will
eat alfalfa hay like a steer. Those
who have never had alfalfa experience
in connection with pork production
sometimes consider it joke to sneak
of feeding hay to hogs. 1t is not a
joke to the man who has used it in
cutting down his winter feed bill.
There is no safer or better feed for
the mature brood sow during the win
ter season than fine fourth cutting al
falfa. 1t has about the same chemical
analysis and nutrient value as has
bran and will be eaten with almost no
waste.
The saving in feed is not by any
means the most important advantage
in using alfalfa for wintering brood
sows. The pigs farrowcd by sows that
have had plenty of alfalfa through the
winter will be strong and vigorous
The man who feeds his sows all the al
falfa hay they will eat will not be
bothered with filters Of puny, squeaky
pigs that bring Encouragement from
the start.
OF course some grain may be neces-
sary, but If the choicest of the hay is
saved for the sows it will not take
much to keep them in good condition.
1t is always dangerous to get brood
sows too fat, especially If it is the re-
suit of heavy grain feeding, but they
should not be allowed to get thin dur
Ing the CESSATION period When given
plenty of alfalfa hay an ear or two of
corn a day will be all the grain neces-
sary to keep the SOW in good condition.
Plan to save your finest hay for the
SOW. 1t can be fed on a clean floor or
even on the ground in dry weather, but
the best way is to provide suitable
rack. This rack should be made so the
sows can get the hay without tramp
Ing 1t.

SHEEP SAVE WASTE.
Two Instances In Which Lambs Made
Profits on WheatfieIds.


Sheep have been very proftably used
to harvest a damaged wheat crop OH
the farm of w. 9. Smyser, Rice coun-
ty, says the Kansas Farmer. The
wheat was so badly damaged by the
rain that he did not attempt to harvest
1t. In order to save the grain and use
to good advantage the weeds and
grass that sprang up, he turned in
sheep. BY the middle of October he
had 10000 lambs running on this big
wheatf1eld. They thrived remarkably
well, and he expects that the field will
return him as good a profit as If he
had sold the wheat on the market.
The lambs weighed an average Of
sixty pounds when they were turned
in, costing So a hundred.
The good results from pasturing
growing wheat with sheep is illustrat-
ed by a story from Tennessee. In driy-
ing band Of 200 ewes they got into
wheatfeld along the road. The land
owner undertook to hold the sheep for
exorbitant damages. Their owner, be-
lieving that the justice was prejudiced
against sheep and realizing that the
witnesses for the plaintiff were ready
to testify that the damage done was
greater than the crop produced the
year before. put up $500 ana bought
the CROP After grazing the ewes on
the wheat he sold them. averaging 100
pounds apiece. at Ga cents a pound.
and the lambs, weighing sixty-tive
pounds apiece, at II cents. Thus the
wheat crop, much to the chagrin Of the
land owner, made him an average of
twenty-nine bushels an acre. the crop
Of the previous year being but fifteen
bushels.

Fruits and Vegetables May Be Kept
Fresh With Special Care.
In order that certain fruits and vege-
tables may be kept fresh and palatable
during the winter months special
knowledge is in requisition and special
care in order to have them thrive, says
the New York Evening Post. This year
especially, with its abnormal and con-
tinually soaring prices, 1t behooves
those of us who have been fortunate
enough to provide surplus to see that
the supply is properly stored and kept
for needed use.
On the whole the average house eel
lar is not the best place in which to
store large quantities Of fruits or vege-
tables, because Of the heat from the
furnace. But for those who have only
Hobson's choice room is partitioned
off in the cellar, without much labor or
trouble, being made as tight as posi-
BILE to exclude the heat, and a window
added covered with heavy screening.
Here the necessary bins may be put In,
bins which will hold about twenty
bushels, or In smaller or larger sizes
as the case may warrant Potatoes, Of
course, should always be carefully
looked over before they are stored, and
any speckled or bruised ones removed
at ence.
All roots in order to keep properly
should be covered with sand, other
wise they will shrink and dry out Gel
cry may be stored in small lots by
packing the stalks closely together in
boxes and filling In about the roots with
earth. The bulk Of the crop may be
stored by digging trench about eight
cen inches wide and setting up two
parallel lines of twelve inch boards
Here the plants are packed with the
roots embedded in the soil. When the
trench is full soil Is then thrown upon
the outside to the tops Of the boards,
after which the boards are lifted out
and the soil allowed to come In direct
contact with the celery. As the weather
grows colder covering Of boards, corn
fodder or straw is placed over the tops
for complete protection. Apples may
! be stored in barrels, but should be
kept in a low temperature-we sug-
gest about 40 degrees. Pears are best
kept by spreading them out on shelves
where they do not touch each other.
Squash and pumpkins should be left
in stable or other building until well
into the winter, care being taken to
cover them with blanket Of bags at
night, but later in the season they may
also be put away in the house cellar.

Good Winter Work.

When other farm work is least press
ing the farmer should give attention to
estimating, measuring, cutting, mar
ketihg and selling his timber. Spare
help and time to supervise the work
make the winter a favorable season.
1t is easier to haul logs on the snow
than over ordinary roads, and the logs
are less liable than at any other time
of the year to deteriorate quickly
through attacks of insects or fungi

The care and feeding Of pigs by
the young farm people have been SO
fostered and popularized by the va
rious clubs that the idea has spread
wonderfully. In many localities the
youngsters have outstripped their
elders In pork production. The
young man in the picture is prob
ably In training for future prizes.

A BIG WEEK
FOR FARMERS
University of Idaho is Prepar-
ing Fine Program for Farm
ers During Week of January
22-27.

Moscow, December 16. The
fourth annual farmers and house.
keepers week conducted by the
University of Idaho in the inter-
ests of better farmers, better
farming, better homes, and bet
ter citizens for the entire state
will be held this year during the
week of January 22-27, 1917.
It has become a custom to oon-
duct these meetings under three
quite distinct programs, one ar
ranged especially for the far
mers, one planned to interest the
farmers wives and all house,
keepers, and one which is of
equal interest to all.
One general subject will be
taken up in each of the five days
program for farmers. One day
will be devoted to the discussion
of the best methods of breeding,
feeding and marketing of beef
cattle, sheep and other livestock.
Sheep and cattle raised on the
one time great ranges of Idaho
are rapidly decreasing in mum.
bers and the number which are
being bred and fed on the gener-
al farms throughout the state are
rapidly increasing. It is highly
essential then that all who are
interested in this phase of farm
ing should at least spend one day
each year in a study of more inn
proved methods Of handling live
stock on the farm.
The grain farmer too can re-
ceive inestimable value by meet
ling, not only with those who will
address them, but also with TAR
mers who come from other sec
tions of our ownland from neigh.
boring states. One farmer last
year told of a clear gain of $1,000
which he had made in growing
field peas according to the recon-.
mendation of a farmers weel
speaker.
This year L. w. Fluharty, >oi
the Office of farm management Of
the department of agriculture.
will give some very interesting
results dealing with increased
yields due to certain systems Of
rotation which have been adopted
and put into practice by some o.
the farmers Of the Palouse sec
ton. Every grain farmer SHOULD
come for soils and farm crops

SOIL CONDITIONS FOR ALFALFA

Difficult to Succeed With This Crop In
Moist Climates.
Prepared by United States department Of
agricultural
While alfalfa has shown a remark
able ability to adapt itself to various
climates and conditions, 1t is injured by
high temperatures combined with much
moisture in the atmosphere. 1t is not
easy to succeed with this crop In moist
climates, such as the eastern United
States, except where soil conditions are
favorable. Marked success has been
obtained in certain sections Of the
south where the average rainfall ex-
ceeds fifty inches.

ALFALFA FOR HOGS.

IN Conjunction With Corn Il Is an Eco

The farmers making the most profit
from pork production are those using
alfalfa most extensively With corn
at 81 bushel, the cost of growing and
finishing a hog is most important
factor. All along the line the right use
of alfalfa brings about economy in

day.
The dairy industry is fast be-
coming Of great Importance to
the state Of Idaho. The 1910
census report shows that the to-
tai value Of milk, cream, butter
fat, butter and cheese which is
annually produced and sold in
the state amounts to $1,S78, 900.
Practically every farmer keeps
some dairy cows and is interest
ed in this important industry.
Every farmer who attends On
dairy day will undoubtedly gain
information which will be Of i'm
mense value in the breeding and
raising Of dairy stock, the proper
rations to be fed for greater pro-
duction Of milk and the best
methods for the manufacture
and sale Of dairy products.
The principal subject for con-
sideration on the day set aside
for those interested in horticul-
ture will be the growing and
marketing Of potatoes. The
production and sale of potatoes
in Idaho almost equals the sale
of dairy products so the industry
must surely be Of wide import
ance to every farmer. There
will be some very able discus
sions of the most profitable vari-
cites, seed selection, seed treat
ment, storage and sale of pota-
toes. Farmers who have had
practical experience in the gaow-
ing Of this vegetable will have
ample opportunity to enter into
the discussion and tell their ex-
periences and difficulties.
The consideration of poultry
problems have heretofore been
limited to a half day program but
owing to the increased interest in
this very important industry an
entire day will be given over to
them this year.
In connection with the farmers
and housekeepers' week program
the Panhandle Poultry associa-
ton will hold its annual show in
Moscow during the same week.
These two meetings should bring
to the university everyone WHO'S
interested in the raising and SELL
ing of poultry and poultry pro-
duce.
The complete program is now
being arranged and a copy will
be sent to any one who will adj
dress such a request to the Idaho
Experiment Station, Moscow,
Idaho.

pushed that merchants were enabled
to remind the backward debtor with 81
minimum Of offense.
HAVE YOU PAID YOUR BILL To
DAY?" signs were posted throughout
the city, and the query was picked up
widespread by the citizens and applied
with as much freedom as the Have
You Registered Today" query Of pre-
primary politics.
The general run of the citizens re-
sponded without difficulty to the plan,
but the slow-paying debtors had to be
Jared repeatedly. The merchants
mailed out a bill every day to each of
their customers who owed accounts
of long standing. The bills were mail
ed out on billheads of the merchants
organization. A bureau was establish
ed where protesting citizens would
thrash out their differences with any
merchant over any bill, the amount,
terms or existence of which they dis
puted. Few took advantage of this
bureau but such work as it did was
effective.
The report on the decisions of this
bureau shows that in almost all the
cases the books of the merchants were
right, unless he had been grossly care
less in keeping his books, which prov
ed true in two or three cases. Forget
fitness was the cause of 80 per cent.
of the unpaid old accounts.
When the balance of the week was
cast up, it was reported that more than
1000 bills had been paid up to date,
and that bank deposits of the mer
chants had been $4,000 higher than
ever before. The $40, 900 Immediately
was started on its way to the various
creditors of the merchants, and it is
estimated that $4,000 of this found
it's way almost at once back into the
hands of the original payers.

but it is probable that a close analysis
in ALI cases would show that some OF
the deposits belong to farmers IN the
surrounding territory. For that reason
the per capita honors are likely TO rest
with the small town, if located IN a
agricultural section. one
of the first claimants to special dis
tinction was %Iroquois, citing 100 popu-
Iation and $35O,O00 in bank deposits.

of s1.5O519474 in deposits, applying TO

q population of 403 respectfully called
attention to its bank deposits Of $4S2,-
6OO57. Viborg admitted a short lead
for Wakonda, but applies for second
Mace on a deposit showing Of $5O3,-

son county. population SO and bank de
posits of $76~, 2797S-per capita of 81

tered after all of the fast ones had
been looked over, it is not by any
means certain that the lists should be
closed even now. 1t is quite evident
that the South Dakotan without a
bank balance is out Of joint with per
capita conditions and opportunities.

SETTLE UP DAY

Commercial News.-TwO small cities
of the middle-west have had a settle
up-day" and merchants and customers
say it's fine. ihe first 'settle-up-day"
was held at Waukon, Iowa, a short
time ago. The Waukon merchants or
ganization entered on the plan after
two weeks of thorough advertising in
the newspapers and in bills distributed
from house to house and farm to farm
in the surrounding country. They then
mailed statements to all their patrons,
especially those in arrears, calling
their attention to the approach Of set
tle-up-week" and detailing the plan of
the merchants.
The merchants announced that they
had notified all wholesalers and job
bers with whom they traded Of their in.
tention to use the money paid in to
them by their patrons to pay bills
against them in the hands of the
wholesalers, as well as all other bills
outstanding in the Waukon cOmmun-
ity; and, in fact, about half Of the
money taken in by the merchants was
paid out to factories and producers in
and about Waukon.
The week did not open very pro-
pitiously for the plan, but when two
days had passed nearly 500 bills were
counted paid. 1t was estimated that
there were about $500 outstanding
bills. BY Wednesday of that week the
paying up movement was under full
Roadway, and the campaign was so
