BURN DEAD CHICKENS
Average Poultryman Is Not Care
ful About This Matter.
Good crematory Can Be Easily and
cheaply Constructed Of Common
Cast Iron Box stove-keep
Plant Clean as Possible.

Once again the poultry breeders
attention is called to the proper dis
posal Of dead poultry. On all plants,
large and small, some fowls and
chicks die or must be killed on ac-
count of disease. The average poul-
tryman is not careful about the dis
posal Of such dead birds, In fact he is
often crimlnally careless and negli-
gent.
On some plants dead birds and poul-
try offal from the killing and dressing
room, also, are dumped In the hog pen
or manure heap. On other plants such
carcass is buried from time to time
as convenient, and more often is left
lying about, an cyesore to visitors and
menace to the health Of all stock
on the plant, and the family as well.
Even when there is deep burial Of
dead birds, and II Is fairly prompt,
there is danger. Dogs and other four
footed animals dig up carrion, no mat
ter how deeply buried, and scatter II
about the place. We generally find
remains Of dead poultry kicked about
on the ground on every poultry plant
we visit. an exception to this rule be-
ing rare.
The remedy is simple and inexpen-
sive, says a writer In an exchange.
Cremate all dead fowls and offal
regularly and frequently. A small
brick and cement furnace for this
purpose can be built at a small cost,
but a good crematory can be had
cheaper and easier than that. A com
mon cast iron box stove or the cast
iron air-tight stove can be bought at
from 81 to SO each and can be easily
and cheaply set up In any outbuild-
ing. Such stoves will burn anything
and do II quickly. All that you need
TO look out for is TO have a safe
chimney to safeguard against danger
OF fire. A stove Of this kind can be
used to burn anything that can be
made TO burn, and is easily brought
into quick action with chips, corD
cobs or other similar materials.
Make up your mind that you win
not bury, or leave lying about the
premises, dead fowls or chicks, but
cremate them promptly. Clean up
the plant and keep IL clean.

TO WASH BLANKETS
OPERATION TAKES TIME IF GOOD
WORK rs WANTED.
Warm Water, Ammonia, and White
Soap Is Observation-Disclosures
Must on No Account Be Sub
leeted TO Rubbing.

Housecleanlng means many weary
ing tasks. but the worst of them all Is
washing blankets. 1t takes good
ly amount of money from the house
Keepers allowance to send these to
the cleaners. especially where there
is a large family. SO the woman who
decides to do" her own blankets
should learn the very easiest way TO
manage them.
Here is one system guaranteed by
an experienced housekeeper: Put a
half pint OF ammonia into a tub and
stretch the blankets over II, not al
lowing them TO slip down into the fluid.
This should then be covered with luke
warm water. This process allows the
fumes OF the ammonia TO rise through
the blanket and loosens the dirt. Good,
vigorous squeezing will do the rest.
Rinse In a tub Of clear warm water
and run lightly through the wringer.
Here is another and more compli-
Gated method. designed for use on
very soiled blankets: Air, beat and
brush the blankets out on the line be-
fore washing. so that every possible
piece Of fun and down is removed.
Then shave a couple of bars Of good
wool soap into a basin. add II to a
pan OF boiling water and allow II to
'jell" for a few minutes. Now have
n tub or stationary washtub half full
Of warm water with a half cupful Of
ammonia in II. Mix the soap in with
this, then put In your blankets. Stir
them around with a stick, but do not
rub them--sgueeze and souse them up
and down. When the top of the water
begins TO become scummed with dirt
the water should be changed. The
second water should be like the first.
The sousing process must be repeated
until all the dirt is removed. Rinse
in clear water. Then put them through
the wringer-the jaws OF which should
be very wide apart or they will make
your blankets look strlngy-and hang
out on the line.
Blankets should be hung lengthwise
on the line, using plenty Of pins, so
that they have no chance TO sag.
Shade is better than sun for drying
them. When they are quite dry go
over them well with n clean whisk
broom, brushing with the nap. This
makes them delightfully."- fluffy. Fold
away with camphor balls or In moth
proof bags.

OPEN FRONT BUILDING INsuRgs FRESH AIR.

(2) the fact that the straw will become
dirty quicker than with a concrete
floor and also dust rising, which in
many cases has caused throat trouble.
Roosts.
The roosts should be level at the
back; feet high, IA inches from the
wall, II inches apart, and made Of
2-by-4s with rounded corners. Poles
two inches In diameter. II firmly
placed, will serve the purpose nearly
as well. Eight inches beneath the
roosts is placed a droppings platform,
which keeps the floor clean and in
creases the floor space available for
other purposes. Underneath the drop
pings platform are placed the nests.
There should be eight inches of roost-
ing space for each bird and one nest
for every six or seven hens.

SMALL LITTERS FROM gifts
Time for Breeding Depends Largely on
Size, Vieor and Aee-Liable TO
Be Stunted.

The time for breeding gifts depends
upon their size and vigor as well as
their age. However, It is seldom nd
visable to breed a gilt before she Is
eight months old. and in many cases
ten or twelve months is a better age.
What is gained by getting a litter Of
pigs soon may be lost in getting a
small litter. And II the usefulness Of

the total loss In the end overbalances

Too young gifts almost invariably
have. small lltters. Then their nam.
mary organs do not develop right, and
this In turn affects the size of litter

cannot raise a dozen good pigs. Also
too young sows cannot stand the strain
Of nursing litter. They do not have

Detail Of pry-mash Hopper.

properly designed device for feeding
IS not employed. The following device
is an efficient and economical feeder
and may easily be constructed.
This hopper is constructed OF inch
boards II inches wide. The top may
be hinged for convenience In filling.
or the entire top may be made remoy-
able. affording in this case better pro-
lection from the weather. The "
shaped bottom OF the food container
Is made OF one-fourth-inch square
mesh wire. such as Is used In render
Ing corn cribs and grain bins rat proof.
The fat tray, above which the food
container is supported by the end
boards, should have drainage holes.
Wooden cleats should be fastened
along the point Of contact of the wire
mesh with the end boards, thus max
Ing a closed joint and preventing
waste.
A substantial advantage In this form
Of food hopper will be found In that
II gives no opportunities for the wedg-
Ing In and smothering Of young chick
ems, when crowding around the feeder.

STRAW UTILIZED IN EUROPE
Beets, Manaeis, siIase and Other
Forage Crops.

In effect, recent bulletin of the
United States department OF agricul-
ture asks why the American farmer
cannot put straw to the same use as
It Is put by the European farmer. In
Europe the farmer knows as well as
the American farmer that straw is not
liked by stock, but instead Of burning
II, or otherwise wasting II, the Euro
pean farmer chops II up, mixes 1t with
beets, mangels, silage or other feeds,
and makes IT so palatable that II can
be fed to good advantage.
The report states that the bureau OF
crop estimates has found that Is per
cent of the straw produced In the
United States is burned. In many dis
tricts there are no cattle and remote
ness from a suitable market makes the
sale OF the straw Improbable. But in
such cases farmers would profit by an
investment la a few cattle.

PICK HIeH-PRoDUcINe FOWLS
Psleness Of Shank 10 Very Reliable
indleation-Aiso Birds With
Pllable Combs.
By w. A. LIPPINcoTT. Kansas Agri-
cultural Experiment station)

By W. A. LIPPINcoTr, Kansas Agri-
cultural Experiment station)
IL is not only possible but desirable
20 pick out the high-producing hens In
the flock by means OF external char
acteristics.
Hens that molt late are high pro-
ducers, because they have a longer
period In which to lay. Late molting
is the accompaniment OF late laying.
but the mere fact of late molting does
not make high producers. The hens
that molt late begin laying as early
as the early molters. because they
molt much more rapidly and lose less
time.
In the yellow-sklnned breeds the
paleness of shank Is a very reliable In
dication In the fall at the end OF the
first year. The high producers lay the
color out OF their shanks, and so any
bird that still has yellow shanks after
q year Of laying likely has been a poor
producer for that year.
Those birds with soft and pliable
combs about October l are In general
better producers than those with hard
and dried-up combs. As bird molts
the comb tends TO shrink and become
hard, but birds In good condition and
laying have pliable combs.
