IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
Essential That Supply for Cows Be OF
Mild Temperature, Especially in
Cold Weather.

A large amount of water is needed
by the average dairy COW for the up.
keep of bodily functions. In addition
to this, much more is needed in the
production of milk as the latter con
tains 81 per cent of water. Practical
dairymen have found that it is a good
policy to provide the COW with plenty
of good. clean water. That flowing
through muddy ditch is not suited
for dairy COW.
It is also important that the water
be of a mild temperature, especially In
cold weather. Ice water taken into
the stomach of the COW causes a shock
to the system that is not conducive to
high milk production. The tempering
of this cold water in the COW uses
some of the energy that might be ap-
piled to other purposes. In the win
ter, freshly pumped water is much bet
ter than the cold water in the tank.
Tank heaters aid in overcoming this
trouble. A cow will drink a much
larger quantity of warm water in the
wintertime than of ice water

DANGEROUS FOOD FOR CHICKS
Practice of Feeding Salt to Cause
Early Mott Should Be Avoided
Unless Well Understood

Doubtless thousands of persons who
keep few fowls and depend upon
the scraps from the kitchen consti-
tuting the greater portion of the food
required to sustain them, are unaware
of the danger there is in feeding salt
food to poultry.
A very little salt is known to be
healthful for fowls, but if they re-
ceive more than a very small portion,
such as might be found in Oversalted
victuals, or in scraps into which some
accidentally spilled salt had been
thrown, it will cause the hens to die.
or if not sufficient to cause death. they
will be apt to mott and lose their
feathers out of season.
Some poultrykeepers who under
stand just the quantity a hen can
stand without damage. will feed lit
tie salt early in autumn to cause the
hens to mott early so as to insure eggs
during the early winter months when
eggs are scarce. This practice is dan
gerous unless thoroughly understood.
Little chicks should have no salt at
all until more than half grown. In
stances are known where chicks were
kept in barrel laid on its side. with
the hen inside, and the chicks all died
within few hours. Investigation re-
vealed the fact that the barrel used
for a coop had been a salt barrel well
cleaned, and yet there was enough
salt left to kill the entire brood

COST OF KEEPING A HEIFER
About the Surest Way to Avoid Any
Possible Error Is to Keep Com
Fiete Set of Accounts.

We sometimes get the impression
that the cost Of keeping a horse or a
COW is determined by the amount Of
feed consumed, plus the amount of
labor expended, and possibly an in
terest charge. The government has
published figures on the cost of rails
ing, from birth, two-year-old heifer
which show that 65.6 per cent Of the
total cost was expended for feed, 1928
per cent for labor, So per cent for
interest, and 1876 per cent for other
charges, such as buildings, equipment,
bedding, ETC., or with total expense
Of $62.06. These items which might
be called "other charges" amounted
to $9.72.
This emphasizes the need Of caution
in determining the cost Of any single
enterprise of the farm. Too frequent
ly these "other charges" are omitted
in reporting profits. About the surest
way to avoid the possible error is to
keep complete set of accounts. OF
course, there is some work attached
to it but by adopting a simple direct
entry method of bookkeeping it isn't
such bad job.

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR

When you wake up with backache

obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi

1t is not the easiest thing ia the
world to so feed young chickens as to
bring them to an early and perfect
maturity and then to continue feeding
them to produce eggs and meat in the
greatest quantities. Too many people

ers seem to think that a few handfuls

where they cannot get at their natural

| but if they are to be brought to full
state of perfection and if they are to
be made to produce all the eggs posi-
BILE and tip the beam at market time
at the highest notch, careful study
of feeding is necessary.
The natural food of fowls is meat,
seeds and grain. The meat they find
in bugs and worms and the dry feed
in the seeds of grass and grain of the
range If allowed free range and Civ
en- access to this in sufficient quanti-
ties fowls will balance their own ra-
tions and perhaps get as good results
as if fed by hand. If they are con-
fined the lack OF meat must be sup
piled; but it must be understood that
animal matter i'll the shape of meat
meal, meat scraps or cut bone is dan
gerous unless it is fed in conjunction
with other food.
1t is extremely dangerous to give
fowls too much of any concentrated
food as it only renders them ravenous
and unsatisfied, and in the end results
in disease and death. Food must be
nutritious and to balance the bulk, dry
matter and animal matter must be of
proper proportion to form just the
right combination to produce health
and the best conditions for laying and
producing meat.
AS to the quantity to be fed there
can be no fixed rule The. safe way
is to feed liberally-all that the flock
win eat up clean. 1t is never safe to
cut down the rations of growing birds
until some feed is left over every day.
OF course too much feed of the fat
tening quality is not good for laying
hens because they do not lay best
when overfed, but this does not mean
that they should be starved. A we'll
balanced ration consisting in the main
of corn, wheat and animal matter will
keep hen in fine laying condition.
We do not believe that very lean hen
is the best layer.
To persons who are obliged TO buy
all the feed for their flocks the ques-
tion is one of great Importance and
many people who have raised poultry
for years without keeping account of
expenses. and then turned to a SEN
sible system of accounts, have been
surprised to learn that it cost them
more to keep their flocks than they
received from them. However, people
are learning how to manage poultry
and even with grain at the high prices
that have prevailed the last five years
have been able to make a compare
