Poultry Pointers

Feed at regular hours and the fowls
will always be ready and waiting for
their last meal.
Put the windows in the poultry
house low down near the floor, so that
the hens will get the benefit OF the
light and sunshine when scratching TOT
their feed.
The chaff that settles beside the
straw stack at threshing time makes
splendid winter litter in which to teeu
the small grain. Have it about SIN
inches deep all over the hen-house
floor.
All perches in the pOultry-house
should be built on level. When Dulll
one above another, step-fashion, the
hens will fight for the higher perches
with the result that some Of them will
become injured or eggs will be broken
in them.
Grit or lime is absolutely necessary
for egg production. 1t is always well
to have a large pile Of sand and gravel
handy. where the fowls can help
themselves.
Milk is Il good feed for hens. Give
all the milk they will consume. The
hens will not only lay well, but Will
keep in a strong vigorous state Of
health.
You should no more think of keep
ing n common mixed flock of mongrel
chickens than you would buy or care
for chance Seeding fruits, wholly I'M
known ard untried.
While the weather is dry, the poui-
trvman should store away several par
rels If road dust to be used in the
dust boxes during the winter months
Thoroughbred fowls are the only
profitable sort to keep, no matter
what you keep them for.
Be sure that early pullets ana mems
that have moulted get plenty of the
right kind of food.
The advantage of keeping one Dreeu
of poultry is that one can market uni
form product in eggs and stock.

sufficiently to allow the fowls to reach

Plans to Make Waves Supply
the Power to Propel Boats

A system of driving a vessei by
means of wave motors is covered III
n recent patent granted to BenJam
p. Roach of Berkeley, Cal, VINO pro-
noses to make use of the motion OF the
waves as well as the rocking OF the
boat to store up the necessary power
to drive the craft through the water
This accumulation of power is accom-
plished mainly by the means OF IaiSe
bow pivoted to the main part OF the
ships structure, and somewhat SINH
lar arrangement in the stern of the
vessel. .....
The bow and stern form loose por-
lions which are actuated by every
plunge of the vessel and with each
movement of these parts air compress
ing pistons are operated, and a guam
tity of compressed air is forced into
tanks, and subsequently drawn upon
for the propulsion of the vessel.

BUY MORE LIVE STOCK
RATHER THAN MORE LAND


(By C. d. Lowe, Division of Extension,
University of Tennessee, Knox
ville.)
That live stock pays on the farms OF
a nearby state may be seen by the fol
lowing figures secured from eighty-one
farms in one community. The farms
were not selected farms, but were
taken as they lay along the road.
These farms were divided into three
groups according to the amount of live
stock kept. One-third of the farms
were found to have over 20 head each
of cattle, or their equivalent Tin
amount of feed consumed) in hogs,
sheep or other productive live stock;
one-third had between ~ and 20 head
each; one-third had less than IL head
The heavier stocked farms returned
a profit for the year of STA more than
those with the small amount OF live
stock.
Another community selected at ran
dom showed nearly the same proper
ton. Live stock furnishes way to
increase the volume Of farm business
without increasing the farm area
Through live stock much of the poorer
grades of feed mey be utilized to bet
ter advantage than by selling 1t, ir
fact much roughage that is ordinarily
wasted can be made to give good re
turns. The manure obtained is essen
tial in maintaining soil fertility.
The above figures offer some fooc
for thought If you are thinking o.
purchasing additional land consider
first whether the purchase money
should not go into more live stock fol
the land you already own.

KEEP ASIMPLL FARM RECORD
(By c. E. Alfred, University Of Ten
nessee, Knoxville)

(BV G. r.. Alfred, University VI 10H
nessee, Knoxville)
1t is very essential in the farming
business to keep a record of what i"
being done. Each farmer should have
a simple farm account book in which
to enter all farm inventories, receipts
and expenses. Every farmer should
keep a record of his farm business,
and check it up each year.
If you are not making as large
profits as you would like, this should
stimulate you to keep such a record
You can then study your own bust
ness and learn just what enterprises
and combination of enterprises pay
YOU the best under your local condi'
tons.
The winter is the best time to begin
an account. The time spent on such
an account will pay larger profits than
if spent in any other way.
