CARE FOR CHICKENS
Every Preparation Made to insure
Fowls With Proper Supply OF
Food Will 3e Repaid.

In the winter the care Of poultry IS
quite a task and every preparation
that is made to reduce work and in
sure the birds with a proper supply OF
clean food will be well repaid. on
the general farm the cattle, sheep ana
hogs will doubtless come first and too
often the hens are neglected. The
only way to insure proper treatment
for the poultry flock is to equip the
house with feeding appliances that
will enable the farmer to care for the
flock without wasting time. All OF the
hoppers can be made on the farm
from packing boxes or scrap lulnDer
and when once constructed the JOB IS
done and the hens will pay for the
labor many times.

PILLS FOR CHILLY WEATHER
Treat Sluggish Fowls With Pellets
Made of Mixture of Ginger, Pep
per and Mustard.

Sometimes, these cold days, chick
en- will be found which IS apparently
q little out of condition, and yet not
sick. On these occasions, sprinkling
the mash with pepper, about as one
would pepper a d:&h for the table,
seems to act as n good tonic. Red pep
per in moderation is even better than
black. If individual treatment is CIV
en-, pick up the sluggish birds and give
pills made of equal parts of ginger,
pepper and mustard, mixed we'll in lard
and made into a dough with flour or
cornmeal. Make into pellets the size
Of a cherry, and give twice day.

AMONG WORLD MINES
Labor Troubles and High Dividends

Broken Hill, in New South Wales,

district in Australia, noted alike for
containing the largest lead-silver mine
In the world and for its endless labor

LITTLE SHEEP POINTS
Many Settlers Use Animals for

Sheep make excellent land clearcrs.
Many settlers use sheep to clear land
and put it in shape for dairying. A
diet of brush alone will not make the
sheep thrive-they need grass or a lit
tie grain besides.
Sheep can be sheltered in q common
shed, open to the South and having a
hay or straw roof. 1t should be free
from drafts. The roof must not leak
and the floor must be dry. If the ewes
lamb early, a warmer place is needed
for them during lambing.
1t pays to use a good ram, for he is
half the flock. II ewes from the west
ern ranges are purchased and crossed
with a purebred ram of mutton breed,
offspring improve rapidly. This is an
inexpensive but profitable way to start
in sheep.
Start with a small flock, until
knowledge Of sheep is secured. Large
flocks are harder to handle, more sus-
ceptible to disease and are expensive
to experiment with. A small flock,
handled right is profitable and rapidly
develops into a larger flock.
Ewes need watching at lambing time,
more than at any other. Feed them

PEACH TREE PRUNED TO DEVELOP OPEN TOP

will continue to study it in the hope
of developing control measures.
What the Insect Is.
The insect, known to science as Las,
peyresia molesta, is believed to have
been introduced from Japan. So far as
the departments entomologists know,
it has not been found in America other
than in the District Of Columbia and
in the adjoining territory in Maryland
and Virginia. The specialists are de-
Sirous Of knowing If the insect has at
tackled peach, plum, or cherry trees
elsewhere in the United States.
The presence Of the insect can best
be determined in most cases by the ma
ture of its injury to peach trees. 1t
bores into practically every tender
twig and causes new shoots to push
out from lateral buds. These are at
tackled in turn, the abnormal stimula-
ton Of lateral growth producing a
much branched and bushy plant. A CO.
pious flow of gum from the twig ends
often follows the attack of the cater
pillars.
Injury to Fruit.
In attacking fruit the young cater
pillars generally eat through the skin
at or near the point Of attachment of
the fruit stem. The larya, as it grows,
makes its way to the pit, where it
feeds on the flesh, which soon becomes
much discolored and more or less
Shiny. Larvae entering at the side of
the fruit are more likely to eat out
pockets or cavities in the flesh.
The full-grown caterpillar spins n
whitish silk cocoon in which to pupate.
Moths emerge in the spring for egg
laying by the time the shoots are well
out.
The bureau Of entomology, United
States department Of agriculture, es-
pecially requests owners Of peach or
other fruit trees to report the presence
of this new pest in their orchards.
Specimens of twigs may be mailed
wrapped in paper or, preferably, in a
suitable box.

How to Kill Ants.

Ants may be driven away by taking
a handful of tansy leaves, broken into
pieces and dropped into boiling water.
Dip a brush into this and wash where
the ants frequent. Do not let the steam
get near your eyes, as it is extremely
painful. Another recipe is: Mix one
teaspoonful of tartar emetic and one
teaspoonful OF sugar and place on the
floor. A sure remedy for red ants is
hot alum water, in proportions of two
pounds Of alum to three quarts of wa
ter. Apply to crevices thoroughly.
Ants on the lawn may be killed by STIR
ring up the holes and pouring in kero-
sene and hot water.

GOOD HENHOUSE EQUIPMENT
Low Table for Water and Milk Is
Handy-Hopper for Dry Mash is
of Much Importance.

Keeping the flock in good condition
is more easily accomplished if the
house is furnished with good equip
ment. An oblong table about two feet
high and long enough for the water
pail and a crock of sour milk will be
useful in protecting the receptacles
from the litter on the floor.
A large feed hopper which will hold
weeks supply of dry mash is i'm
portant. Small hoppers for feeding
grit, oyster shell and charcoal are nee
essary.
An effort to get along without the
hoppers will always result in wasted
feed or a poor condition of the flock
If any Of the necessary ingredients are
not furnished.

DIFFICULT TO FATTEN CALF
Many Farmers Believe That II Is MOT
Possible to Get Good Veal by
Pail Feeding.

It Is quite a difficult matter to fat
ten a veal calf in any reasonable time
without new milk. Indeed, many think
the only way is to let the calf suckle
the COW, that you cannot get first-class
veal by pail feeding. But sucking the
cow is so detrimental to the COW that
good dairymen feed the calves and
with very good success. However,
when you come to do away with milk
entirely, or even try to make veal with
skim milk and grain, you are up
against q difficult proposition.

the right. ration, keep them dry and
warm. Castrate and dock the lambs
while they are very young.
Early lambs are more profitable than
late lambs. The best prices are for
lamb weighing 60 or 10 pounds in May
or June. The lambs need more feed
than their mothers milk If the best
gains are to be made.
Dip the flock about a week after
shearing them. A warm day should be
selected and the dipping done early
in the morning. Then the sheep are
dry by night. Shear the sheep as soon
as the weather is warm enough so
that they will not take cold If fleece
Is removed.

There is prepared calf meal on the
market that is probably the best sub
stitute for milk. 1t is good to grow
calves on, but to fatten veal is quite
different. A good food can be OBJ
tanned by mixing many of our differ
