Beautiful Flowers Have
Sun Shininu All the Time

Folks generally know that flowers,
such as "mums," violets, roses and
carnations, are used mostly as mes
sengers of love, devotion and hap
piness, and the florist knows that his
posies are more fragrant and beauti-
full when grown with the heat OF the
suns rays, then Hess & Swoboda
expect that with the Sun" shining
from directly across the street into
their windows, their array of flowers
will be more beautiful than ever.

PREPARE HOUSE FOR WINTER
First Move Should Be In Direction n
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Before
Furnishing New Litter,

Before the cold weather comes on,
put the hen house in winter shape,
says a raiser OF chickens in an ex
change. The first move should be in
the direction of cleanliness Remove
every movable object, boxes, barrels,
etc, sweep thoroughly overhead and
underfoot, after scraping out all drop
pings. Then disinfect before refilling
scratch-litter. Whltewash with un-
Stacked lime to which kerosene has
been added, II other insecticides seem
too expensive, and lay II on generous
ly. Paris green In the wash is excel
lent as a germ killer. but fill all cracks
everywhere.
Next, II water is prone to freeze in
the coolest weather, make the hennery
warm with a dead air space between
the walls and a sheathing of building
paper. recommend a cheap grade OF
paper because It will need to be tori
of in the spring when the periodical
drive against insects is inaugurated.
Then put on a storm door, however
rude, to overlap the cracks around tho
ordinary entrance, disinfect drinking
dishes, look to ventilation without
drafts, and make sure that the floor is
warm, even il a banking of earth or
sawdust has to be applied. Put in a
big supply of road dust for baths and
plenty of gravel and sharp grit
Now Gull the flock and get the rest
adapted to the changed appearance OF
things early, so the laying which is
revived after molting, will not receive
a setback, as is usually the case after
any abrupt alteration.

WAY OF SPREADING DISEASE
Dirty Water Pan Is surest Way Of
Creating Trouble Among Men,
bers Of Any Flock.

How often do you clean up the wa
ter pans in your henhouses? You
ought to clean them every day. For
a dirty water pan is the surest way OF
spreading disease throughout your
flock.
The best way OF handling water in
the poultry house is to keep It in a
cheap, fiat washbasin that can be
easily cleaned and refllled. II doesn't
pay to bother with patent water tanks.
You will have to I'LL them Just as Of.
ten as the basins, and they are harder
to clean up.
Place the open basin on a box some
eight or ten inches high and perhaps
eighteen inches square. and make a
runway for It. This keeps II from
filling up with dirt and straw from
the floor, and the hens do not climb
into it in drinking.
Then put the box and basin In a
sunny corner of the house away from
the roosts and nests, so that no dirt
can fall into It from above.
Clean II and refill It with clean,
fresh water every day and you Will
have put the disease germs to flight
eflnitely.-Wisconsln Station.

the litter, or as a change from the
others, II will of course not be neces-
sary to feed so much of the expensive
grains.
The small potatoes and the potato
parings and trimmings from other veg
etables used in the house can be
boiled, salted and peppered, as for the
table, and a little bran and cornmeaI
mixed with them, Just enough to take
up the surplus moisture, so that the
mixture will not be sloppy. This
makes a good, and also very mex
pensive mash feed. With It may be
mixed the meat scraps.
Beef bones and scraps should be run
through a bone cutter, or be chopped
up by hand into small pieces, before
giving to the hens.
Skim milk costa really nothing on
the farms, and II the hens have all of
1t they will drink, they will not eat
so much other food
II these cheap feeds are handled
right, It will leave only the last feed
at night to be OF the high-priced
grains, and IL well fed during the days
on these other things, they will not
eat so much of it then.
They should have good feed Of
grain, mostly corn for their supper, in
order to keep them healthy and sup
ply bodily heat during the cold
weather.
By following these suggestions, the
hens can be almost entirely kept on
the waste products of the farm, and
what is received for the eggs will be
nearly all profit.
II properly housed and given plenty
of warm water to drink, they will lay
well on this bill OF fare, and we can
rejoice over a good supply of eggs
when winter is here and the price
goes soaring.

PREPARE FOR COLD WEATHER
Broods Of Chickens Scattered Here
and There Must Be Gathered In
Idle Hens Don't Lay.

When the cold winds Of autumn be"
gin to blow new cares and responsi-
oilities confront the poultryman and
woman. Broods of chickens which
have been scattered hore and there in
order to keep them separated must be
gathered in and housed, for the severe
weather OF the winter Is at hand.
Supplies of vegetables must bo
stored, gravel for the hens and sand
for the ducks must be boxed or stored
away in the dry, while still finer sand
Or fine earth must be procured for the
much needed dust bath Straw or some
kind of clean litter must be forthcom-

FEEDING CALVES DRY GRAIN
Digestive Tract Of Young Animals Is
Small and Giving Small Amounts
Often ls Favored.

In feeding skim milk calves the
grain needed to supply the missing
fat may be corn, barley, oats or a mix
ture. Occasionally a feeder has skim
milk or alfalfa or clover hay on hand,
and to these he adds llnseed meal,
oottonseed meal or gluten feed.
These are all high In protein, and
when any one of them is combined
with skim milk and alfalfa-both high
In protein-an unbalanced ration re-
suits and scours or other digestive
troubles follow.
The digestive tract OF a calf is
small and frequent feeding OF small
amount during the first month is best.
During the first month 1t is better to
grind the grains fed. At the end OF
this period either oats or corn may be
fed unground. Hard grains like kofir
and milo give best results when
ground. All grain should be fed dry
In trough. Mixing feeds with milk
Is not recommended, as calves chew
their feed better when fed dry.

CBy l.. M. BENNINGTOE)
All kinds OF grain, both whole and
ground, are so high in price that 1t
will pay us to study how to feed the
hens as cheaply as possible and stili
secure good results.
Bran is a heavy expense, and the
amount used can be greatly lessened
by feeding cut clover, or cowpea hay
These contain the same elements as
wheat bran and are very palatable for
the hens, when steamed.
Cut or break the hay into small
pieces, pack into q tub or bucket and
pour over It all the boiling water ii
will absorb, then cover closely and let
stand thirty or forty minutes before
feeding. In the winter when the hens
cannot get green grass they relish this
very much.
Sprouted grains are another cheap
food. This was sold few years ago
as a poultry secret of feed at 10
cents bushel. oats are generally
used for this, although wheat, rye and
Dther grains are as good.
The grain should be soaked Tor "a
hours, or even 36 hours. in warm wa
ter. when spread in shallow boxes and
kept In a warm place. Keep moist by
sprinkling two or three times a day
with warm water. Feed when the
sprouts are about two inches long.
The hens will eat grains and sprouts
both. and by the process OF sprouting
the amount of feed is greatly increased
without increasing the cost.
Sunflower seeds, II raised in the odd
corners where nothing else will grow
to advantage, really cost us nothing.
Hang the heads up where the hens
will have to work a little to get them,
or scatter the seeds in the litter.

the other grains that are scattered in
