copper per annum, the cost being not

BUTTERMILK GOOD FOR HENS
Acts as General Aid to Digestion and
Develops Viaor and Vitality to
a Marked Degree.

Perhaps no feeds are 80 general ana
yet put to such slight actual use on
the average farm as buttermilk or
skim milk. Both are about the same
in feeding value. particularly after the
latter has become sour. The full
value of buttermilk or skim milk does
not lie so much in its food value as
in its effect on other foods and gem
eral aid to digestion. Buttermilk also
develops vigor and vitality to a
marked degree as well as promoting
unusual growth at the same time.
Milk, added to the ration, increases
the consumption of other foods and
experiments have shown the greatest
Increase or gain with chickens was
made when most skim milk was being
fed.
Buttermilk is also very valuable for
laying hens. having a very high feed
ing value, particularly during the win
ter months. Either may be fed IN
mash mixtures or in a drinking
fountain.

KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
Fatal Disease, Commonly Called
"Lungers," Can Be Prevented by
Attention TO Quarters.

Many deaths among poultry, par
dcularly among chicks. come from
moldy feed and moldy litter in poul-
try houses. The mold when eaten by
the fowls causes a fatal disease COM
monty called "lungers." The fowl
stands in a drowsy manner and
eats bat little. The wings droop,
breathing is quickened. and a white
diarrhea is present. Death is caused
directly by soft, yellow growths that
clog the air passages of the lungs.
There is no positive cure for the
ailment. but since it is caused by
moldy feed and litters, 1t can be en-
tirely prevented by keeping poultry
under sanitary conditions. This is
only one of the many troubles aris-
ing from unclean conditions. Include
the chickenhouse in the spring clean
ing and avoid them all.

MEANING OF POULTRY TERMS
Pullet Is Female Under One Year
old-After Attaining Full Matu-
rity She Is Termed a Hen.

There seems to be a somewhat hazy
notion among amateurs as to the ex-
act meaning Of the terms used TO
designate young and old stock. A
pullet, strictly speaking, is a female
under n year old. After she has
attained her full maturity she is a
hen, but in the trade we speak Of a
fowl as a pullet until she has COM
pleted her first years laying. There
fore, 1t is correct to speak of her as
a pullet until she is eighteen months
old, or has begun her first mott, says
Farmers Guide.
A cockerel is a male bird under one
year old, but he is usually spoken of
as a cockerel until he has at least en-
tered well upon his first year as a
breeding cockerel.
Cocks are older males, usually hay
ing passed through one seasons breed
ing. If you order cockerels for breed
ing purposes, you will get birds that
have been used for breeding. When
ordering pullets you will get females
that are under eighteen months old,
at the most.
A cockerel should never be used to
breed from before he is a year old.
A pullet, IL she begins to lay at six
months, may be bred at nine months
of age.

The value Of these geese has dimin-
ished during the last decade. Not
witbstanding this fact, goose raising
remains a profitable pursuit, provided
the conditions are suitable.
Only two breeds are bred to any
extent in this country, the Toulouse
and the Emden. Since these com
bine all the requisite economic char
~acteristics it is unnecessary to go
further afield. The Toulouse is the
largest of these two varieties; in fact,
1t is the largest breed there is, but
1t is rather a slow grower. At a time
when the Emden, the more rapidly
maturing variety, is fit for killing, the
Toulouse is tall and lanky and quite
unfit for marketing. The Emden, there.
fore, is the breed for the early trade,
while the Toulouse Is used almost ex-
clusively for supplying the Christmas
markets.
Goslings are the easiest of all kinds
OF poultry to rear and the percentage
Of deaths among the young stock,
provided they are reasonably well
looked after. is extremely low. They
r so hardy they seem able to thrive
anywhere, and they can Withstand
treatment which would be fatal to
other kinds OF fowls. At the same

for the hens. The fine dust penetrates
the fowls feathers, and, coming In
contact with lice serves to stop the
breathing passages of these parasites,
causing them to suffocate and die.
Wood ashes are even better for this
purpose, because the particles OF dust
are finer; but here again the lime is
Objectionable, since it tends to take
the gloss off the plumage.
Coal ashes should be used freely on
the floors Of poultry buildings, for they
will penetrate cracks and crevices, and
viii assist in destroying mites and
other Vermin, in dissipating noxious
odors and in improving conditions
generally. Still another advantage:
Large quantities of the cinders will
be eaten by the birds as grit, and will
contribute some of the mineral nutri-
ents. Small bits of coal will be eaten
also, and will be digested.
Dust removed from a road during
dry weather. which is only an annoy
snoe to travellers, will be found benef-
cial in the dust boxes. Every poultry
farm should have a supply on hand for
winter use; for, unless dirt floors are
used, these artificial means of supply
ing the fowls toilet requisites must be
provided. A dust bath is quite an es-
sential to the weli-being of poultry as
is the regular soap-and-water variety
20 the human.
