Brood coops should be made so that
they can be closed at night, to keep
out cats, rats, and other animals, and
enough ventilation should be allowed
so that the hen and chicks will have
plenty OF fresh air. The hen should

Keep Brood coops Clean.
The brood coop should be cleaned
at least once a week and kept free

and sprayed with kerosene oil or crude

SalNini,s Descendants.

Salvini, the great Italian tragedlan,
made 1t a condition that none Of his
sons should act in Italy so long as he
remained on the stage. So Gustavo
was banished to the other countries
of the continent and acted In Russia
and Austria with some successes. Alex
ander learned the English language
and played in this country until he
died at an early age. Tomaso is now
an actor in Italy and is said to have In
herited to greater degree than any OF
his brothers the talents of his father.
Salvini was married twice; first to
Clementine CaZZola, an eminent Italian
actress, who die, leaving him three
small children. Many years later he
married an Englishwoman named Lot
tie Sharp, by whom he mad two chill

ESTIMATING VALUE OF CALF
Young Animal Is Worth Practically
Nothing Until Labor and Capital
Have Been Invested.

In estimating the gross product Of
COW It is customary to credit her with
one calf year valued at IS to $40.
A little clear thinking will reveal the
fact that no such amount can proper
ly be allowed the COW as a producer OF
wealth. The COW should be credited
only with the value OF her calf three
days after birth. After that the calf
is not longer the creation Of the dams
internal economy, but the product OF
feed that has a market value. After
that time the cows milk can be sold
for cash in some form Of dairy prod
uct. The average cost OF production
of milk in the United States is close
TO five cents quart. A husky calf
will consume at least two gallons Of

milk day to grow into $40 veal at
one month.
That 1t costs more to veal a calf
than 1t will ordinarily bring is bad
enough in itself and deserves deliber-
alton on the part of the farmer who
may not have given the matter of cost
systems much thought, says a writer
in an exchange. The point is that the
calf is worth practically nothing until
labor and capital have been put into
him.
II anyone doubts this statement let
him try to sell an ordinary calf when
1t is three days old and see what 1t
will bring. It takes time and effort
and money to bring a calf to the point
where 1t is productive. Its value at
birth is potential rather than actual.
It would be as reasonable to credit
the cow with a yearling worth $40 as
q month-old calf worth $40.
A wellbred, registered calf is worth
a goodly sum at birth because the
purchaser can feed II expensive milk,
grain and hay and still make a profit
on its ultimate value. An ordinary
calf would eat so much before 1t be-
came productive that only thought.
less person would pay anything for It
at the beginning o: its career.
Hence a COW may properly be cred.
tied with the actual selling value of
her calf before any money is invested
in its development

ANIMAL FOOD FOR CHICKENS
Sour MIX Eserts Beneficial influence
on Digestion Of Young Fowls,
Account Its Acid.

The best animal food for chicks is
sour milk. On account of the acid it
contains sour milk eXerts a beneficial
influence on the digestion of the
chick. Sour milk can safely be kept
before the chicks all the time. Milk
should always be supplied I'm fountains
that will not permit the chick to get
its down wet. A chick stuck up with
milk is n sorry sight. Vessels in
which milk Is supplied should be
scalded and aired daily
Some poultrymen still practice and
advocate the feeding OF eggs tested
out Of incubators to baby chicks. A
hardboiled egg. when of known quail
fly, makes a rather iudigestible food
for the chicks tender organs. but
when eggs are fed that come from an
incubator that has subjected them
to a temperature OF lO3 degrees for a
week, one Is counting danger Not all
eggs that are tested out of incubators
are infertile.
II you feed tested-out eggs to baby
chicks be quite certain that they are
infertile. Eggs containing blood spots
or red streaks should be discarded. as
they were fertile and the germs are
In state OF decomposition. The in
fertile egg. when held before a strong
light, is perfectly clear.

are better shut In the coop with the

night and after they are large enough
to wander over wide range one feed

METHOD FOR DRYING UP cow
No Specific Rule for Such Work.
Judgment and Experience Of
Attendant Is Required.

A cow should be dried off for six
weeks before calving. II may take
two weeks to dry her of, that depend.
ing upon the persistency OF milk flow.
To dry of COW the rich feed has
to be removed and the COW allowed
to pasture short grass or eat hay.
Some milk is left in the quarters at
each milking at first; then milking
is omitted; then the milking is done
every other day, and afterward only
little milk is taken, as seen to be
necessary. There is no specific rule
for such work, and it requires the best

From the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
Brooding with hens is the simplest
and easiest way to raise a few chick.
ems and is the method which is used
almost exclusively on the average
farm. Artificial brooders are neces.
sary where winter or very early chick.
ems are raised, where only Leghorns
or other nonsitting breeds OF poultry
are kept, or where large numbers of
chickens are raised commercially.
Sitting hens should be confined to
slightly darkened nests at Matching
time and not disturbed unless they
step on or pick their chickens when
Matching. The eggshells and any
eggs which have not hatched should
be removed as soon as the Matching
is over. Hens should be fed as soon
as possible after the eggs are Matched,
as feeding tends to keep them quiet;
otherwise many hens will leave the
nest. In most cases II is best that
the hen remain on the nest and brood
the chicks for at least "a hours after
the Matching is over. All the chickens
should be toe-punched or otherwise
marked before they are transferred
to the brooder or brood coop. so that
:heir age and breeding can be read
lily determined after they are matured.
Use Insect Powder.
Hens will brood successfully 10 to
1b chicks early in the breeding sea
son, and Is to 25 in warm weather,
depending upon the size OF the hen.

A desirable grain ration for cows,
when corn and oats are used as
base, is one made up of 300 pounds
of corn-and-cob meal. 200 pounds OF
oats and 100 pounds of cottonseed
meal. Feed this at the rate OF one
pound for every three pounds OF 4
