ABUNDANCE OF TENDER FEED
Sow a Plot Of Ground TO Rape and
Give II TO Hens-cabbaae and
Oats Also Excellent.

To lay well during ths summer and
fall months, the hens must have an
abundance OF tender vegetable matter.
As the weather becomes warm and
dry, the grasses and vegetation on the
range become tough and fibery, and
are not eaten by the hens In sufficient
quantity to induce the best egg yield.
To provide green feed COW plot Of
ground TO rape. which is cut and fed
to the hens. Cabbage and sprouted
oats are also good.

on many farms, Is also eaten by the
hens with "A relish. II the shoes and

DoUcHE IS OFTEN NECESSARY
Plan Outlined for Treating Cows for
Sterillty and Abortion-Good
Solution In Use.

Frequently the dairyman finds It
necessary to use a vaginal douche as
a treatment for abortion and sterility
troubles. The following method is
recommended for such cases:
Secure a large galvanized pail. four
to six gallons in capacity according
to the size Of the herd, and fit it with
q stop-cock. Buy pure gum horse
stomach tube and ft It to the stop
cock. Elevate the pail until It is about
three feet above the COW so that the
liquid will flow freely. This can be
readily done by making use OF the
feeding and litter track IL there is one
in the barn. When ready to use the
apparatus, insert the stomach tube
into the vagina, open the stopcock
and allow the douching solution to
flow into II by gravity until It is COM
pletely filed. A very good solution
TO use is a i TO $500 or 5000 parts
OF permanSanate OF potash and water.

Tie next question. of course, was
how long II would take her to knit
twice around. The judge here. In his

would depend upon the size Of the
stocking.

would take.
