PULLET TROUBLES IN SPRING
Many Young Fowls Lost From Ever
sion of Oviduct-Watch for Bloody
Eggs In the Nests.

A number of hers, and especially
p~ullets. are always lost in the spring
from the trouble known as aversion
of the oviduct. IL you see one of your
birds walking about with a hating
gait, and upon closer examination find
the lower portion Of the oviduct pro-
jecting from the vent as a mass of red
or purplish tissue, you can recognize
it as the above trouble. If you no.
tice many bloody eggs in the nests.
watch for it. II you see other hens
following another and picking at the
vent, look out for this trouble.
It may be caused by extra strain of
the muscles and tissues Of the walls Of
the oviduct, in the laying Of double
yolked eggs, or very large eggs, or
due to an obstruction in the oviduct.
Unless discovered Immediately after
it occur the best treatment is to kill
the bird.

BY WILLIAM A. RADFORD.

On the larger farms it is very nee
essary to have room for the horses
that are needed in the work during
certain seasons Of the year, such as
during seeding time in the spring and
also during the fall blowing. Farmers
that use during these seasons as many
as II horses say that a good barn for
them is the best kind of economy. 1t
keeps the horses in fine condition and
makes it easy to regulate their feed
and take care Of them so that they

BY building a special barn it is pos
sible to provide the various convent
ences, such as feeding devices, manure

MILK LIKELY TO BE BITTER
Trouble May Appear at Any Time
and Is Almost Sure to Result
From Three Causes.

Milk Is especially likely to be bit
ter in the spring, but this trouble
may appear at any time. II is almost
sure to result from % eating the last
remaining weeds in closely grazed
pastures, (2) bad health OF the cow.
or 90 the growth of bacteria in the
milk. The cur In each case consists
in finding and removing the aus and
suggestions for doing so are made
by Percy Werner, Jr., Of the Missouri
college OF agriculture.
II the milk becomes bitter after
standing, 1t is not the cows fault, but
results from the growth of bacteria
brought in by particles OF dirt or ma
nure or left in improperly cleaned ves-
sells. II the milk OF all cows in the
herd is bitter when drawn. the feed is
probably at fault, and the bitter taste
will probably disappear il the cows
are kept in a lot where they cannot
get at weeds. This will give the pas
lures a better chance to get a good
start. II only one or a few of the
COWS give bitter milk, it is probably
because they are in bad health or go
ing dry, and their milk should be kept
away from the rest so that it will not
spoil the whole milking.

JUDGMENT IN SHAPING TREES
Care Should Be Exercised Not to Cut
Away Any Portion Which May
Affect Appearance.

In shaping the trees, the orchardist
must use his own judgment largely.
Where the trees are very small car
should be exercised not to cut away
any portion of the tree which may af-
feet it's appearance in the future. Be-
ginners should not start on young or
small trees, for mistakes on them are
always costly.
II you observe a serious fork in the
young tree, it should be remedied at
once by cutting away the one which
you think will not make the best pro-
Queer. If -uch a defect is remedied
early in the lifetime of a tree it will
scarcely be noticeable later, but to al
low Il TO remain for any length Of time
is to injure and deform the tree per-
manently.

THICK CREAM IS PROFITABLE
More Skimmilk Left on Farm to Feed
to Hogs, Calves and Poultry,
Says Ohio Bulletin.

Farmers will make more money by
separating a reasonably thick cream
than a thin cream, according to dairy
department, Ohio state university.
Swimming highest cream leaves more
skimmilk On the farm to feed to the
hogs. calves and chickens. Skimmilk
utilized in this way has a feeding
value of about 35 cents per hundred,
while, IL the milk is left in the cream,
nothing Is realized.
The buttermaker usually wants a
cream testing around 50 or 40 per
cent butterfat. In the winter, II the
cream is above 40 per cent, II is
rather difficult to get the cream all
out of n can into another or into q
vat. Cream testing about IS per cent
in the winter and 40 per cent in the
summer Is right tor butter.makinG.

FEED COWS FOR MILK
Production and Size Are the De.
termining Factors.
Each Animal Should Be Given as Much
Roughase as She viii Eat Up
CIean-Avoid Increase in Body
Weight Above Normal.

In the management of the modern
dairy it should be the aim to surround
the cows with conditions most con-
ducive to a large and economical pro-
duction Of milk and butterfat in each
individual case. Each COW should re-
ceive as much roughage as she will
eat up clean and a portion of this
should preferably be of a succulent ma
ture, like grass, silage, soiling crops
or roots. or concentrates it has been
found a good working rule to feed
as many pounds of grain feeds per day
to each cow as she produces pounds Of
butterfat a week, or o%ne-fourth to one
third as much grain as she gives
pounds of milk daily, the amount de-
pending upon the per cen of butterfat
in b milk. In the case of cows pro-
ducing milk with a low per cent Of
fat, one-fourth would be required. Care
should always be taken to avoid an in
crease in body weight above the nor
NAL for each COW, since the milk secre-
ton, as a general rule, is likely to
suffer when cows commence to utilize
their feed for the formation of body
fat.
1t follows from what has been said
that no two cows in the herd can be
fed exactly alike under this system Of

Visitors to New York Library.

The announcement that the average
number of readers in New York's
public library is almost double the
number of those who use the British
library in London or the Bibliotheque
Rationale in Paris should not be
taken as an indication that the Eng
lishmen and the Frenchmen neglect
their reading. For one thing, the New
York library is open for longer hours
daily than either of the others. A
visitor here from Paris recently was
surprised to find artificial lights in the

A litter and iced carrier track runs
through the center Of the barn and
makes it an easy matter to keep every
thing clean. SO that there is no excuse
for allowing manure to accumulate.
The track which handles the carriers
runs out through the sliding door in
the back of the barn to a manur pit
or directly to the manure spreader,
from where the manure is taken to the
fields.
The frame of the barn is supported
on a good concrete foundation that is
carried down 20 spread footings below
the frost line. The walls are also car
ried "a inches above grade and the
studs are placed on top of this wall.
To protect the ends of the studding
and prevent them from rotting they
are placed in studding sockets made
of cast iron. These sockets are i'm
bedded in the concrete and present

vided in the sides Of the sockets so
that they can be nailed to the upright

vided for the double ROY of posts that
run through the center of the barn.
Tho construction Of the feed room
shows very careful attention to details.
The sliding door that shuts this room
off from the rest of the stable is
placed on an inclined track so that it
is self-closing. This prevents the

SAVING the Babies.

The 1915 death rate among babies
one year old in st. Louis was the
lowest on any year on record and is
among the lowest of all the cities in
the country. according to a report just
made public by the st. Louis pure
milk commission. The death rate was
80 in 1000, a reduction from a rate of
103 in the previous year. The great
falling or in deaths Is held to be due

SUCCESS IN GROWING CLOVER
Soils Needing Them-Give tho

The principles OF successful clover
growing may be summarized as fol-

matter to the soil and keep up the SUP
ply by turning under clover often
enough.

carriers, etc, that help in making the
handling and conditioning Of the ami
mails very easy work.
The stable should be large enough
TO hold the horses that are needed dur
ing the busy season. The M shown
here has stalls enough for IL horses
and also has four stalls that can be
used for valuable animals or for n
reason desired. Outside Dutch doors
are provided in the box stalls in addi'
ton to an inside door and windows.
Dutch doors are a great convenience
during nice weather. They enable
horses or COWS to get plenty of fresh
air without leaving the barn. IL ami
mails are allowed to look around. as
they a with such methods of con-
struction, they are not as likely to be-
come restless.
Concrete is not a satisfactory mate
rial as a general rule for the stalls
of horse stables, as shod horses are
apt to slip and perhaps injure them
selves. 1t is very desirable to provide
a material that can be washed down in
the same way as concrete and yet pro-
vides a surface that is resilient and
that will not become slippery.
There are two materials that have
been used for this purpose with con-
siderable success. One is the cork
brick that is specified in the accom-
panying floor plans and the other is
the treated wood block. The wood
block is in various forms and Is treat
ed with many different substances, of
which the most common is creosote.
Cork brick is made of graduated
cork which is mixed with refined as
phalt and then pressed under heavy
pressure into a brick. The brick is
very resilient and never becomes slip
perry and can be washed down with q
hose, as 1t is waterproof.
The brick are laid up in a haif-inch
Portland cement cushion and the joints
between the brick are grouted.

type is laid oyer the complete barn,

A circular concrete water tank
shown in front of the barn in the il

toward the top so hat there will be no
danger Of ice bursting the tank. The
circular tank also leaves no projec-
tons on which the animals can hurt

MEAL-TIME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children DRINK

There are times when mother or
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps 1t is some rich dessert
but more often 1t is tea or coffee.
It is better to have some delicious,
hot food-drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
"A Yorkstate lady says: Il used
coffee many years in spite Of the con
viction that it injured my sys-
TEN and produced my v head
aches. While visiting a friend l was
served with Postum and I determined
to get a package and try 1t myself.

sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
