PULLET TROUBLES IN SPRING
Many Young Fowls Lost From Ever
sion of Oviduct-Watch for Bloody
Eggs In the Nests.

A number of hens, and especially
pullets, are always lost in the spring
from the trouble known as aversion
of the oviduct. If you see one of your
birds walking about with a hating
gait, and upon closer examination find
the lower portion of the oviduct pro-
jecting from the vent as mass Of red
or purplish tissue, you can recognize
it as the above trouble. If you no.
tice many bloody eggs in the nests,
watch for it. If you see other hens
following anothcr and picking at the
vent, look out for this trouble.
1t may be caused by extra strain OF
the muscles and tissues of the walls of
the oviduct, in the laying of double
yolked eggs, or very large eggs, OF
due to an obstruction in the oviduct
Unless discovered Immediately after
it occurs the best treatment is to kill
the biyd.

FEED COWS FOR MILK
Production and Size Are the De-
termining Factors.
Each Animal Should BE Given as Much
Roughage as She viii Eat Up
Clean-Avoid Increase In Body
Weight Above Normal.

In the management Of the modern
dairy it should be the aim to surround
the cows with conditions most con-
ducive to large and economical pro
duction of milk and butterfat in each
individual case. Each COW should re-
ceive as much roughage as she will
eat up clean and portion Of this
should preferably be of a succulent ma
ture, like grass, silage, soiling crops
or roots. OF concentrates it has been
found a good working rule to feed
as many pounds of grain feeds per day
to each COW as she produces pounds of
butterfat a week, or one-fourth to one
third as much grain as she gives
pounds of milk daily, the amount de-
pending upon the per cent of butterfat
in the milk. In the case of cows pro-
ducing milk with a low per cent of
fat, one-fourth would be required. Care
should always be taken to avoid an in
crease in body weight above the nor
NAL for each COW, since the milk secre-
ton, as general rule, is likely to
suffer when COWS commence to utilize
their feed for the formation of body
fat.
1t follows from what has been said
that no two COWS in the herd can be
fed exactly alike under this system of

MILK LIKELY TO BE BITTER
Trouble May Appear at Any limo
and Is Almost Sure to Result
From Three Causes.

Milk is especially likely to be bit
ter in the spring, but this trouble
may appear at any time. 1t is almost
sure to result from (1 eating the last
remaining weeds in closely grazed
pastures, (2) bad health Of the COW,
or (3) the growth of bacteria in the
milk. The cure in each case consists
in finding and removing the cause and
suggestions for doing so are made
by Percy Werner, Jr., of the Missouri
college of agriculture.
II the milk becomes bitter after
standing, it is not the cows fault, but
results from the growth of bacteria
brought in by particles of dirt or ma
nure or left in improperly cleaned YES
sells. If the milk of all COWS in the
herd is bitter when drawn, the feed is
probably at fault, and the bitter taste
will probably disappear if the cows
are kept in a lot where they cannot
get at weeds. This will give the pas
lures better chance to get good
start If only one or a few of the
COWS give bitter milk, it is probably
because they are in bad health or 60
ing dry, and their milk should be kept
away from the rest so that it will not
spoil the whole milking.

JUDGMENT IN SHAPING TREES
Away Any Portion Which May
Affect Appearance.

In shaping the trees, the orchardist
must use his own judgment largely
Where the trees are very small care
should be exercised not to cut away
any portion of the tree which may af-
feet it's appearance in the future. Be
ginners should not start on young or
small trees, for mistakes on them are
always costly.
If you observe a serious fork in the
young tree, it should be remedied at
once by cutting away the one which
you think will not make the best pro-
Queer. If UGH a defect is remedied
early in the lifetime Of tree it will
scarcely be noticeable later, but to al
low it to remain for any length of time
is to injure and deform the tree per-
manently.

THICK CREAM is PROFITABLE
to Hogs, Calves and Poultry,
Says Ohio Bulletin.

Farmers will make more money by
separating a reasonably thick cream
than a thin cream, according to dairy
department, Ohio state university.
Swimming highest cream leaves more
skimmilk on the farm to feed to the
hogs, calves and chickens. Skimmilk
utilized In this way has a feeding
value of about 35 cents per hundred,
while, if the milk is left in the cream,
nothing Is realized.
The buttermaker usually wants a
cream testing around 35 or 40 per
cent butterfat. In the winter, If the
cream is above 40 per cent, it is
rather difficult to get the cream all
out Of one can into another or into
vat. Cream testing about 35 per cent
in the winter and 40 per cent in the
summer u right for butter-making.

SUCCESS IN GROWING CLOVER
Add Lime, Phosphorus and Potash to
Soils Needing Them-Give tho
Seed a Fair Chance.

The principles Of successful clover
growing may be summarized as fol-
lows:
Give the clover chance to make a
healthy plant by adding lime, phos-
phorus and potash to soils that neeC
them. In some way add vegetal @
matter to the soil and keep up the sup
ply by turning under clover often
enough.
Give tho seed fair chance by plac-
ing it in mellow soil and covering it
from one-half to one inch deep.
II sown with nurse crop .ive
the young plants chance by not seed
ing the grain crop too thickly, by top
dressing with manure if practicable,
and by cutting the stubble as high as
possible.

MANAGEMENT OF BROOD soWs
Properly Fed and Handled Mature AMI
NAL viii Keep Better II She Has
Two Litters Yearly.

Two litters year mean two divi-
dend periods for the hog raiser each
year, instead of one. Properly fed
and handled, mature SOW will keep
in better breeding condition and will
give her owner more years of profit
able service if she has two litters .
year than If she has only one.
To do this, she must be fed while
pregnant full supply of bone, blood
and matchmaking feeds, in order
that the development of the unborn
pigs will not weaken her by taking
these materials from her own body.

feeding. Each COW must receive In
dividual attention and be fed accord
ing to her special requirements. 1t is
possible, however, to lessen the labor
incident to regulating the feed supply
in accordance with the requirements
of the individual cows by adapting a
general grain mixture which will serve
the needs of most Of the COWS in the
herd. This may be placed in cart
and weighed or measured out from
the same to each COW in the stable.

Of Imprisonment
The most serious case or Sinking
has been discovered by n league in a
military hospital near Paris The name
Of the town is kept secret for certain
reasons. Some time ago u reservists
were brought to the hospital from q
training camp. The men all suffered
from the same ailmCrtL bruised and
swollen knees Medical treatment
brought them no relief and their cases
became puzzling. Finally the surgeons
decided to resort to operations. The
swollen knees were lanced and in every
case the doctors noticed a strong Odor
OF petroleum.
After the operations the men con-
fessed that the swelling of their knees
had been produced artificially by q
dHack who is said to have made
small fortune by freeing men from
military service. The method Of the
quack was simple enough, but hard to
detect He slightly bruised the knees
of the men and then injected petroleum
into the joints to create a strong and
permanent Inflammation.
The quack has been sentenced to 90
wears of imprisonment at hard labor.
His patients who were quickly cured
after the removal OF the petroleum
from their limbs are now fighting in

notes the usual trend Of the woman

and the European representatives feel
confident that the United States would
not be slow in raising its legation to
an embassy should any other power
take the lead. American financial
concerns are thOwing renewed interest
in China since the European war has
cut off the money supply from London
and the continent Consequently many
Americans have recently come to Pelziua
and other Chinese centers to engage
in the development Of various enter
prises.
This American invasion has caused
much comment among the Europeans
and the Japanese. and has given rise
to a rumOr that the United States has
under consideration the elevation OF
its legation to an embassy. Since the
United states has shown a disposition
to act Independently Of the en- tents

suited by the United States before IL
