LEGS AND LIVER OF CHICKEN
Make Hens Scratch for Their Food,
Advises Poultry Expert-Fat
Fowls Make Records.

There is correlation between the
legs and the liver of chicken. Liver
activity is absolutely necessary for
egg production, SO make the hens
scratch for their food, is the advice Of
N. L. Harris, superintendent Of poul-
try, Kansas State Agricultural college.
"All grains should be fed in deep
litter" says Mr.. Harris. Goat straw
or alfalfa hay is good for this purpose.
Hens should be fed literally but should
not be fed until they are willing to
work for their food"
There is an old-time fallacy that a
hen can become too fat to lay. Ex-
periments have been carried on to de-
termine the laying ability of fat and
lean hens, and in every instance the
fat hens have outiaid the lean ones.
The egg begins its formation with the
yolk, which is practically all fat and
so it is absolutely essential that hen
have excess fat before eggs are
formed. A hen does not cease laying
from an oversuppIy of fat, in the opin-
ion Of Mr.. Harris, but because her legs
and liver are not working to their full
capacity.

prepared ~ the United States DEPART
ment of Agriculture)
In order to secure the benefit Of the
practical experience of those who raise
squads for profit, both on a large
scale and in small lots, the poultry
investigations branch of the United
States department of agriculture adj
dressed list of questions to a large
number OF breeders. The pigeon
breeders showed good spirit of CO.
operation and % breeders who keep
from 800 to 1900 pigeons, and large
number of those who keep less than
800 pigeons answered the questions.
The following summary Of the replies
is taken from Farmers Bulletin No.
6S4, SQUAD Raising"
The large breeders reported keeping
the Homer and Carneaux varieties
almost exclusively for squad raising,
with comps,s atively small number Of
the Dragon, Maltese Hen, and White
King mentioned. All except one breed
er kept their pigeons confined. The
birds were mated at from five to seven
months old, the average mating age
being 81 months.
Wheat, corn, kafir corn, Canada
peas, millet, and hemp were the grains
most commonly fed, while a number of
other grains, including peanuts, grass
seed, oats, buckwheat, sunfiower seed,
rice. Egyptian corn, cowpeas. and milo
maize were also used. About one-half
Of the breeders reported the use of
some kind of green feed, including a
wide range of such material. The
use of rock salt was reported by one
half of the breeders, loose table salt
by onesfourth, and table salt baked into
a hard lump by the rest. About 16
per cent used some extra feed, such as
millet or hemp seed, during the molt-
ing period, while several who did not
use any special feed for assisting the

MUCH WASTE OF FARM LANDS
Suggested by Country Gentleman That
ReckIessIy Heavy Maintenance
Cost Be Avoided.

The Country Gentleman makes the
sensible suggestion that a prodigal
waste of land and recklessly
heavy maintenance cost be avoided by
American roadmakers. Upon four
rod government highway zone dozen
farm wagons could be, by little
crowding, set side by side" and each
mile Of government highway contains
eight acres of land, much of it good
land. capable of growing 500 bushels
Of corn while thousands of miles OF
the best highways of France, Ger
many and England are but one rod
wide.
The Country Gentleman objects to
Iowa devoting 416,00O acres Of ''the
best farming land in the world" to
growing sufficient assortment of
weeds to seed the farms that lie
along the states 100000 miles Of pub
lie road.
It may be added that well-main-
tanned road rod or rod and half
wide, with trees along either side, is
much more agreeable to drive over
than a road three or four rods wide,
which can never be shaded and must
always be an intolerably hot sun re-
fiectCr during summer. Left unoiled,
it is glazing and trying to the eyes.

than one-half allowed their pigeons
free range. Barley, rye, sorghum seed,
and prepared mixed pigeon feeds were
additional feeds mentioned. Most
farmers who did not keep their pi-
geons confined fed only grains which
they raised, such as corn, wheat and
oats. Twelve per cent mixed fine salt
with grit and oyster shell, and per
cent fed the salt dissolved in the
drinking water Oyster she'll and grit
were supplied by most breeders. A
few used special tonics during the
melting period. Only 33 per cent re-
ported the use of tobacco stems or
leaves, as against SO per cent among
the larger breeders.
The diseases most frequently men.
toned were canker, going light, and
roup. The principal method of treot-
ment was prevention; by keeping ev-
everything clean, using disinfectants
freely, and Killing sick or diseased
pigeons. Remedies mentioned for pre-
venting sickness were the use of kero-
sene oil, permanganate of potash, lime,
copper sulphate, carbolic acid, quassia
chips, epson salts, venetian red. tine
ture of gentian, or tonic in the drink
ing water. Dry sulphur and diluted
peroxide of hydrogen were used in
treating canker, and kerosene oil for
roup. A few allowed diseased pigeons
their freedom when they had been
kept confined. About one-fourth re-
pprfad soma 1oua from rats Int most
of the larger breeders made their pens
rat-proof. Losses from hawks and cats
were reported in some cases where the
pigeons were allowed their freedom.
The average yearly profit from each
pair of breeders varied from 20 cents
to $3.50, and averaged 1929. The
profit from breeders who sold stock
largely for breeding purposes varied
from $40 to $40 per pair. The average
yearly feed cost per pair varied from
40 cents to "a, and averaged S1.32.
F'ifty-five per cent sold squads for mar
ket only, 33 per cent both for market
and as breeders, and IL per cent for
breeders only. The number Of
squads marketed from each pair of
breeders varied from s to %, and av-
eraged 1873; the weight per dozen
squads varied from to is pound, and
averaged 10.1 pounds. Squads were
marketed at from 8 to weeks; the
average being AZ weeks. The aver
age price for the year received per
dozen squads varied from 60 cents to
| Sc and averaged 1901.

Highway Defects.

Where county builds good road

out or uneven. who or what is prin-
cipally to blame? AS result of a
study of conditions in number or
counties, road specialists of the United
States department of agriculture are
inclined to place the responsibility
upon the following defects in road
management, some or ell of which are
found in all counties where coed roads
are not properly repaired and main
tanned:
1. County boards, although having
full administrative authority, appear
not to attach to their official action
In road matters the Importance or le-
gal effect which it should have.
2. County boards do not generally
have sufficient accounting control Of

mott supplied these grains in their reg
ular rations. One-third used hoppers
in feeding the pigeons.
About one-half supplied tobacco
stems as the entire or for part of the
nesting materi j, and hay and straw
were commonly used, while others
used pine needles, cut pea-vines, and
alfalfa stems. One-half reported free
dom from all diseases and about one
fourth gave canker as common cause
of sickness.
The average annual profit per pair
of breeders varied from 80 cents to So,
and averaged $1.52; the feed cost from
95 cents to 81. with an average of
$1.32. All sold squads for market. The
average price for the year received per
dozen squads varied from 81 to 1882,
and averaged $3.43.
The number Of squads marketed
from each pair of pigeons varied from
10 to 20, and averaged 1871; the weight
per dozen squads varied from 6 to IL
pounds, and averaged 9 pounds. Squads
were marketed at four weeks, except
from two farms, where the average
age of marketing was given as four
and one-half weeks.
Data Secured From Small Breeders.
A large number Of replies were re-
ceived from breeders who kept less
than 300 pigeons. Their answers in
general agreed with those from the
large pigeon breeders, although they
were more varied. Many farmers OBJ
jected to pigeons, claiming that they
carried diseases and all kinds Of YER
min among stock and fowls, dirtied
cisterns used for holding rainwater,
and ate grain from the fields and
barns. A very few farmers stated that
the pigeons were beneficial to the
farms and ate many weed seeds The
number of pigeons in farm sections
not kept confined was reported to be
diminishing greatly as the country be-
came more thickly settled
Other varieties of pigeons men
toned, in addition to those reported
from the large pigeon farms. were the
Runt and the common pigeon. A few
breeders separated the sexes during

summer and early fall. Sl8atly more

road funds to know what is available
for any particular project, where funds
have been or where existing balances
are to be expended.
8. Lack of any systematic practice
In handling funds among most coun
ties makes it very difficult toscarry out
over even d single year any persistent
maintenance policy, because funds Of
ficially obligated for maintenance pur
poses are not protected against spo.
radio and irregular drafts for miscel
1aneous purposes. The greatest like
lihood consequently exists everywhere
that there will be no balance in the
maintenance fund In the last half or
third Of the year, although only q part
of the fund allotted may have been
spent.
4. Local labor available for mainte
nance work is made dissatisfied by
the constant, unintelligent and unfa.
vorable criticism of those using the
road.
5. Maintenance continuing over a
period of years-the ultimate indis-
pensab1e condition Of effective main.
tenance-is jeopafdized by lack of ac
counting control that will prevent
spending next years current income
In this year.
s. The lack Of skilled supervision
In construction and the effect Of this in
increasing the cost or in making eff
fective maintenance impossibly expen
sive is everywhere seen.
Z. The county authorities are com
monty opposed to following sugges
tions for maintenance that involve ty'
ing up road funds in any way, such
as purchasing materials in advance to
