Value Of the SiIo.
In the past several years our winter
feed for sheep has consisted Of tame
hay, corn fodder, straw and a few
oats, writes an Iowa correspondent of
Hoard's Dairyman. About Landing
time the sheep would begin to get sick
and we would lose several. Quite Of
ten the, lambs would be weak In the
back. could not stand. and in a short
time they would die. This year we
have not lost single sheep or lamb
from this cause, and all we fed the
sheep last winter was ensilage and
straw.
We now have forty one lambs from
twenty-four sheep, and all were strong
and healthy at birth. Not only were
we more successful with sheep than
usual. but the cows also held up their
milk flow better last winter than ever
before. all Of which we ascribe to the
feeding Of silage. Had we fed fodder
In the usual way We believe It would
have taken twice as much as it did by
having ensiled the corn.
We believe it would pay all farmers
to put up silos II they have eight or
ten cows and small dock Of sheep.

GROWING DEMAND FOR DAY OLD CHICKS
AND BROILERS.
ern incubators enables poultry owners
to enlarge their business and add to
the profits. Another aid Is the trap
nest, by which the best layers are
known. Good pullets are needed for
breeding stock, while poor ones should
be sold as poultry meat. This work Of
selection Is modern idea. and it means
much In the matter Of profits.
There have been radical changes in
methods Of feeding in the last two or
three years A high rate Of egg pro-
duction is helped by intelligent feeding
and sanitary housing as well as by
careful selection and good management
generally. One Of the strongest points
In successful poultry raising is to keep
chickens free from vermin, and next to
this Is comfortable housing in clean,
properly ventilated buildings. All of
these ideas have received emphasis in
recent years, and higher profits and
general progress are the results among
those who are carrying out principles
which make for success.
1t Is worth while now and again to
make estimates on the profits which
may be secured in any line of activity,
being careful not to indulge in imprac-
teal theories. A hen laying ten dozen
eggs In year returns a net profit of
about $3.50, allowing 81 for cost of
maintenance. The average price is at
least % cents per dozen. Fifteen dozen
would bring the profit to about $2.75.
This may be increased by Matching
certain proportion Of the eggs II the
product of the hen reached fifteen
dozen eggs it would be good policy to
sell ten dozen and incubate FIVE dozen.
Allowing 81 for thirty five broilers and
$3.50 for ten dozen eggs, there ought to
be profit from the years production
of at least So after allowing $3.50 for
feed and incidental expenses. Without
doubt the net earnings of the fowl can
be materially raised by the system of
incubating a considerable number of
the eggs and marketing a certain
amount Of poultry meat. In figuring
possible profits 1t Is best to cut the
amount down so per cent from what
seems reasonable on paper. A few
ponlterers have hens which produce
more than fifteen dozen eggs, 'and the
price in some instances averages as
much as 80 cents dozen. Then by the
sale of settings, day old chicks or fine
ly bred pullets and ROSTERS, profits
may run much beyond the figures given
above. There are sure to be draw
backs, however, and beginners must
not make their calculations too high.
Where geese and ducks can have n
field of alfalfa or clover to range upon
they produce meat at low cost
Geese ought to net So apiece and ducks
81, after making full allowance for
the fattening process. Ducks are less
profitable because 1t requires more
grain or mill feed to fatten them Fine
breeding stock will give still larger re-
turns ON these fowls.

Making the Little

Poultry profits have steadily risen

but they ought to be much higher
than they are. Many amateurs and
those farmers who look on chickens,
geese and ducks as a side line have
not reached proper basis. J..
A dollar a year for each hen is no
longer satisfactory, although 1t was
above the average Eve years ago. Now
that the poultry industry has develop
ed with many persons into a regular
business 1t is worth while to make
careful estimates of it's possibilities
and try to reach reasonably good re-
turns. .. I,8
Market conditions are more favor
able to high profits than they former
tly were. and careful management may
be expected to bring the net income
from flock of chickens up to 81
each. High prices, increasing knowl-
edge and special catering to market
requirements are all on the side Of
poultry owners. The person who gives
time and care to the systematic man.

approved lines deserves success and
may depend on gaining a fair profit on

A barrel Of crude oil will keep an

that the infestation is especially bad.
The method of applying this oil is
simply to herd the hogs up in one cor

using an ordinary sprinkling can. A

SELECTING THE BOAR.

Dams Should Be Considered Whsn
Choosing Head of the Herd.
The time is at hand when all breed
ers and farmers will make their selec.
ton of herd boar to use in their herd
for their coming crop of spring pigs,
writes correspondent Of the White
Breeders Gazette. Very careful con-
sideration should be exercised in max.
Ing this selection. as the herd boar is
half the foundation of the herd.
Choose boar that to your Judg.
ment, will cross best with the dams
which you have to breed. The large
medium type has the preference among
most breeders. The boar should be
strong In points Of breeding. have a
masculine appearance with broad head
and short jowl: strong. arched back,
broad between legs and with good
feet. The last point mentioned should
be watched very carefully.
There will De number of sales held
this fall where the very best boars
will be sold at public auction. and
every breeder and farmer will have an
opportunity to visit these sales and
make his selection.
The price paid for a good herd boar
should never be compared with the
market price of hogs. but should be
governed by the quality of the individ.
ual. and a hundred dollars or even
more paid for good boar will be ev,
cry dollar well spent.
