farmers son would certainly become
deeply interested in fine team OF
purebred mares and the colts they
raise. It would stimulate him and en-
courage him to put forth his best ef-
forts for their care and management.
The boy who is proud of the stock
on the farm and who may raise and
develop a colt good enough to win at
one of the local fairs is not nearly so
likely to leave the farm.

SCIENCE IN RAISING POULTRY
Important Problem Is to Ascertain
How Many Eggs Each Hen Lays
! Hens Make Best Mothers.

The time has come when more al
tention must be given to high produc-
ton in the farm flock. 1t is not enough
that the poultry fanciers breed up
their layers and attempt to increase
the strain. Farmers should breed up
their own flocks.
We should know what the hens pro-
iduce and let their stay on the farm
depend upon what they pay. This is
the only business way to look at poul'
try raising.
Trap nesting is the fancier's way. 1t
is a good way, but other ways may De
devised to keep records of the hens
The important problem is to find out
how many eggs each hen lays ano
when she lays them.
Summer layers are not near as I'M
portant as early spring and winter
layers, for winter eggs always bring
better prices, so do early spring eggs
It follows from this that q hen that
lays in winter, though she produces
fewer eggs, may be more profitable
than a summer layer.
But authorities tell US not to keep
hens till they are very old. They say
the second season is generally the best
for q laying hen. But there is need OF
more records on this subject. Anyway,
hens make better mothers when old
than when pullets.

FEED CATTLE FOR SHIPMENT
Pennsylvania Experiment Station
Recommends Water BE Withheld
Before Shipping.

In preparing cattle for shipment con-
siderable attention should be given to
feeding so as to lower the shrinkage
as much as possible. The Pennsyl-
vania State college agricultural ex-
pertinent station recommends that
water be withheld from animals be-
fore shipping and that they be fed tim
othy hay and whole oats to prevent
looseness during shipping. Under such
treatment cattle will arrive at the

Every farmer should have pride in

REDUCE FERTILITY OF FARM
Raising of Grade Steers Is Easier
Than Growing Grain-Less Care
for the Farmer.

It Is known that grain-raislng re-
duces the fertility of the farm in
much greater degree than the raising
of stock.
The raising Of grade steers Is easier
work and less care for the average
farmer now that reliable farm labor Is
becoming so difficult to obtain.
