crossbred Yaks to Feed AIaskans.

CF0SSDFGu vakS TO TSSO AtdSkdHSs
No breed of dairy or beef cattle
has as yet been found hardy enough
to stand the winters in the interior
Of Alaska without excessive expense
for food and protection against cold.
AS a result milk sells for so cents
quart and the beef that is consumed
in the country consists almost wholly
Of cold storage meat brought from the
outside. The Journal of Heredity says
that the Alaska Experiment station
has undertaken to relieve this situa-
tion by crossing the hardy Scotch
Galloway cattle with the yak, an Asiat-
ic OK much used by Mongolians, Tibet
ans, ETC.. for milk and meat as we'll
as work.
The yak pastures through the win
ter under the open sky in Siberia and
obtains feed from last years grass dug
from under the snow. Crosses of the
yak with domestic cattle are common
in Asia and highly successful.

poultry from poultry books and papers
written by those who are advertising
some special breed Of poultry or
have for sale some special poultry
food or have ON hand some other az
to grind.
Because OF this the profits are fig
ured too high for ordinary poultry
keepers to reach OF course it is not
TO be denied that in some cases the
profit from one hen for a year may be
three dollars. have made it myself,
but commonly it is apt to be nearer
one dollar.
A person starting in the poultry busi-
ness with the larger profits in mind
will not SO closely watch the expenses
and this must be carefully looked
after to make success, IN this as
in any other business.
The profit is always greater pro
portionately from a small flock of
hens than from large ONE. There
are several reasons for this. The
smaller fiocks have better chance on
the range, are sure not to be over
crowded and there are SO few OF them
that the table scraps which they usu-
ally get will do them some good and
they individually receive more atten-
tion in every way.
Not knowing these things, a begin
ner thinks if he can make profit OF
say So hen from flock Of 20 hens,
making total profit OF $40, then he
can make $1,000 from a flock Of 500
hens, but he will find this quite a diff
ferent proposition.
Usually the first thing he does when
he increases his flock is to overcrowd
the fowls. Then he will get but few
eggs while the cost of keeping each
hen is as much as though she laid
an egg every day. Besides this, the
fowls soon get sick when they are
crowded and then there is loss to
go on the debit side Of their account.
Another mistake is in thinking that
anyone without any knowledge Of the
work can give the hens the proper
care and that all there is to do is to

can get along without me fussing 90
much. etc. and so the houses are not
cleaned ana they are fed hit or miss
for time.
Take my word for it, such an attack
OF 'tiredness', is paid for and dearly,
and the person indulging In it win
have some valuable experience and
fewer eggs il not fewer hens before
the flock is brought back to cOndi-
tiOn.
It is q great mistake also to keep
old hens that are past their useful
mes for laying eggs. Often enough
Of these are kept to eat up the profits
from the entire flock and the indus
trious hens, as well as the business
are condemned because the owner
hasn't the sense or the energy or the
courage to Gull cat the old hens and
sell them.
Perhaps you hate to make your
flock SO small but what is the use Of
caring for and feeding 100 hens to
get no more eggs than you would from
so with half the expense of feed?
Another place where the profits are
lost, often enough to cause failure.
is in the marketing.
Poultry products can be sold care
lessly Om the open market for the same
price as other carelessly cared for
products, but by taking care with the
preparation and marketing these
products a much better price can be
obtained.

For breeding ewes. roots and vege-

In feeding corn ensilage to breeding
