HOG CHOLERA SERUM.

but Act Quickly.
Don't take a chance with a sick
hog. Act quickly. Get a veterinarian
or a trained man Immediately. Don't
wait a single hour when you suspect
disease in your herd. Use the tele-
phone or send to town at once. Only
prompt action will stop hog cholera
losses. Every hog saved will help win
the war;" This is the message Of ire
mendous importance which government
officials are sending to farmers.
The time for argument about anti
hog cholera serum is past, declare the
hog specialists. Explicit figures prove
Enthusiastically that when administered
in time by competent persons hog
cholera serum will keep well hogs from
taking the disease for period Of three
to six weeks. Not argument, but quick
action, is imperative to get serum and
trained operator to the farm to treat
the hogs. Hogs will be saved and the
nations meat supply increased IL every
farmer will Immediately upon sign of
disease call In the nearest available ex-
pert to diagnose the complaint and

clines in weight while she is producing
milk it is an indication that she is not
receiving enough feed. On the othcl.
hand, the overfed COW may put fat on
her body or she may get off feed.
The feeds in a ration must be such
as to provide sufficient bulk to satisfy
the appetite and feeding capacity Of
the animal and to furnish the a 1unt
Of nutrients needed by the COW. An
animal may be fed enough nutrients in
the form of grain to perform her work,
but she may receive too little bulk to
be satisfied.
The roughage should form the foun-
dation of the dairy ration. A cow
Should have all the roughage she can
clean up, and the grain ration should
be regulated by the amount Of milk
produced. A COW should be fed one
pound of grain to each three pounds
Of rich milk produced, and one pound
Of grain to four pounds less rich milk.
The three substances which must be
considered In making up the ration Of
the dairy cow are protein, carbohy-
drates and fats. These substances are
found in all feeds, but in varying pro-
portions.
Cows must be fed intelligently If
the highest and most economical re-
turns are obtained. One of the prin-
cipal reasons for the low average pro-
duction Of the Kansas cow is that she
Is not properly fed.
Economic feeding resolves itself into
the study and execution Of the lesson
which nature teaches. The cow makes
her greatest production in the early
summer. The intelligent feeder there
fore will strive to maintain similar
conditions as nearly as possible
throughout the year.

Grain Ration Should Be Regulated by
Milk Production.

Grain Ration Should Be Regulated by
Milk Production.
Cows must be fed as individuals and
not as herd If they are to be fed eco
nomically, asserts o. X. Reed, profess
NOT of dairy &usbandry in the Kansas
State Agricultural college. The guam
tity Of milk produced by the COW is an
indication Of the quantity of feed she
must have.
The first use to which the animal
puts its food, whether producing milk
or not, is to maintain the functions Of
the body. The feed in excess Of this
amount Is used for producing milk,
storing fat or for growth Of the foetus
That underfeeding is perhaps more
common than overlooking is the belief
OF Professor Reed. The effect of I'M
derfeeding may not be noticed at once
as the cow will produce milk for a
time by converting the surplus flesh Of
her body into milk; hence if COW de-

and not eggs. If, on the other hand, he
favors Silver Campines to the exclu-
sion of all other breeds, he should make
his speciality eggs and not meat. The
Light Brahma is one of the best meat
breeds either for soft roasters or ca
pons. The Silver Campine is essential
ly an egg producer and is not desirable
for table poultry. When we say mot
desirable for table poultry" we mean
that it is not in popular demand and
not particularly profitable as such.
The person who starts out with q
speciality firmly fixed in his mind
should make everything subordinate to
this end. If he has his mind made up
on broiler plant, well and good. He
will do well to choose the Wyandotte,
all other things being equal. He might
also select the Plymouth Rock or the
Rhode Island Red or numerous others.
but he would be heading wrong to pick
out, let us say, the Hamburg or the
Polish.
On the contrary, II this man wanted
to establish speciality in fancy eggs
for select trade and the trade called
for white eggs he would do well to
raise Leghorns and not Cornish or Red
Pyle games. If the .market require
ments demanded brown shelled eggs
he must forget about Leghorns and
turn to one of the American breeds or
English breeds. New York, for in
stance, is very partial to white eggs
They command premium prices over
brown eggs. Whereas Boston favors
brown eggs. as do other New England
cities.
We now come to the person who has
few II any convictions as to breeds or
purposes. He will be Influenced by his
circumstances, Of course, the amount of
available capital, the amount Of labor
he intends putting into the project and
the locality in which he hopes to make
a start.
In extremely cold climates where the
winters are long and severe it is some
times best to adopt one Of the heavier
breeds. such as the Plymouth Rocks.
for these are hardy birds. If the loca-
ton is adjacent to water, ducks should
be considered. If there is an abund-
ance Of pasture land geese would be
profitable. Where there Is wide range

1t Is now the intention to renew the
usefulness Of some Of the apple evap-
Grating plants that In many cases
proved improbable when in use sew
eral years ago on account of the small
demand at that time for dried and
evaporated products, says the Farm
and Fireside. There Is also a lively
interest now being manifested in mu-
nicipal and community drying under
takings in the hop kilns In those areas
Of New York, Oregon, Washington and
California where hop growing and dry
ing has In the past been more impor-
tant than at the present time.

HENS FOR BREEDING.
Puiiets Should Not Sc Forced For EGG
Production.


Production.
The age at which hen is most prof
liable for egg production depends
largely on the method of feeding and
the purpose for which the bird is kept.
In the opinion Of N. L. Harris. superin-
tendent Of the poultry farm at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
If the object Is heavy egg produc-
ton. without expectation of using the
bird for future breeder. the forcing
method is adopted BY this method
the hens are kept in small yard or
house and are given ration which is
high In egg producing elements. BY
this method the reproductive system
is worked 10 its highest capacity. 1t
is seldom that bird will be able to
stand up under such feeding conditions
for more than one season. This sys-
TEN of forcing is followed by large
commercial egg plants, the object be-
ing to get the greatest possible income
from the hens I'm the shortest time
The forcing habit has given rise to
the statement that the pullet year Is
the most profitable Of the life of the
hen. AS the great majority Of hens
are kept on the general farm, where
the production Of eggs is merely side
line. forced feeding is not practical.
the general plan being to allow the
hens free range and feeding them so
as to produce only the normal amount
of eggs. Cared for in this way, hens
of the small egg breeds will produce
nearly, but not quite as many eggs the
second season as the first. Those
breeds which have tendency to put
on fat readily usually become unprof-
table the second year. a. s..h
Hens that are kept as breeders
should never be given highly .concen-
trated feeds. II ttis should be the
case the hens will not be In a good
physical condition to produce the best
of chicks.

Keen the LAYERS.

Do not listen to the tempter and sell
your laying hens early. They will pay
for themselves In eggs before late fall
sets In and will sell for just as high
prices In the fall IL you feel you must
sell them. Never before were poultry
products so high, yet they will surely
be higher before the nations are Mt
