FOOD SUPPLY OF FARM HOME.
Public Health Service Suggestions
for Pellagra Prevention.

Much public interest has been excited
by the recent announcement of the United
States public health service to the effect
that the development of the disease known
as pellagra in human beings depends on
faulty diet. Among the suggestions of the
public health service for the modification
of diet to prevent the development of pei
lagra are a number of items which en-
phasize the importance of the campaign
Of the department and the state agricul-
tural colleges to increase the production
of food supplies on the farm. especially
to bring about a home supply of meat,
eggs. milk and butter.
Among other specific recommendations
of the public health service are:
Gar The ownership of a milk cow; an
increase of milk production for home con-
sumption.
consumption.
(c) Stock raising.
(d) Diversifcation and cultivation Of
food crops.
THESE four specifications give an added
argument for the campaign Of livestock
raising and farm Investigation. which
has been especially urged. particularly
for the south. 1t is quite reasonable to
presume, therefore, that the production of
the family meat supply at the farm home
will not only decrease considerably the
expense of the family table and add some
what directly to family revenue as well.
but will have a profound effect on the
health and well-being Of the members If
the family.

PRUNE SHRUBS EARLY.
Growth and Towering Habits Con
trolled BY Trimming in Spring

Attention to the Towering shrubs, or
namental plants and some of the out
door roses, and a little care given to
pruning them during the early part of
March will do much toward controlling
their growing and Towering habits,
and Will enable the gardener to have
well formed and properly trained
hedges, boundary paintings and shrub
berry. The pruning of ornamental trees
and plants, in fact, is one of the first
duties that may profitably be performed
in the home garden. However, anna
tours should not make the mistake of
ruthlessly assaulting with shears or
knife every growing thing in his yard
F'lowering trees and shubs that bloom
in spring or early summer should not
be given radical pruning at this time
OF course. if on these plants there are
dead branches, these should be. taken
out, and any crossed limbs that are rub
bling should also be removed. The tips of
the limbs, however, should not be re-
moved, nor should any young wood that
does not interfere with the growth of
the shrub be cut away. 1t must be
borne in mind that blossom buds for
this years towering were formed last
year. and every shoot taken off removes
that much of the prospective blooms.
Trees and shrubs that bear flowers in
midsummer and WHICH were not pruned
in the fall may be pruned at this time.
Plants of this sort are Rose of Sharon.
shrubby hydrangeas, etc. Where the
largest possible mass effect is desired
these plants must be pruned but little
If the aim is to obtain the largest pos
sible trusses or blossom heads. last
years growth must be pruned back to
two or three eyes to a stem. Such Sc
we're pruning, however. is not conducive
to the most attractive development of
shrubs.
Climbing roses should not be pruned
at this time except for the removal of
surplus or interfering branches. Every
oft of wood removed now reduces the
amount of bloom the plant will bear
during the coming season. Roses in
border paintings should be treated in
exactly the same way as other shrubs.
except that many of these species will
be improved by having all their old
wood cut away once in every five or
canes within three or four inches of
the ground and forcing the bush to
throw up entirely new WOOD.
Roses used for cut flowers, like the
hybrid perpetuals, hybrid teas and teas.
should be severely pruned. Hybrid per
petuals may be cut as soon as freezing
weather is past. Pruning Of the teas
and hybrid teas should be left until the
new growth has started. In both cases
the bushes should be cut to within six
inches or a foot of the ground Four
to six eyes is about the proper amo1,nf

the Leghorns, the males Weighing from
seven and one-half to nine pounds and
the females from six and one-han TO
seven and one-ha1f pounds. They are
supposed to have originated In Spain.

the Island of Minorca. off the coast OF
Spain. The Minorcas have been brought
to their highest perfection in England.
from where they were imported to
America in 1878.

hens make the most reliable turkey
breeders.
Turkeys are reliable for both incu-
batting and brooding.
The poultryman who can make MS
hens lay eggs in the winter, when they
bring the highest prices, is the one
that shows his capacity. Any one can
make hens lay in the summer.
Remember that 1t takes more than
sunshine to produce eggs. 1t needs
pure, solid grains and lots of them.
1t is a noted fact that IL the COB
bier is present when the first clutch
of eggs is laid the second clutch will
be fertile without his presence.

be made out of a laundry soap box. A

fowls from stepping into the feed and
fouling it. The dotted lines show the
original construction of the box.
Fowls should have a full crop of
grain before going to roost.
Feed the chickens plentifully. but
not so much that they do not have a
sharp appetite for the next meal. Max
ing them work for what they get Is
one way of getting them to eat large
amounts of food without overeating.
1t is absolutely necessary to supply
grit in order to keep fowls healthy,
as grit takes the place of teeth.
After molting. little linseed meal
added to the mash is helpful.
Exercise produces warmth, provides
pleasure and promotes health.
When green food is given to hens in
confinement, it should always be cut
or chopped fine. A cabbage tied to a
stake is excellent, but a variety is
better.
White clover red clover, lawn grass,
tops of vegetables. or even young corn
fodder will be relished by the hens
if chopped into short lengths so that
they can easily eat it.
Long food sometimes causes the hens
to become crop bound.
Infertile eggs are produced by hens
having no male bird with them.
Removing the male bird has no in
f1uence on the number of eggs laid by
hens.
