MILK FOR POULTRY.
Valuable Feed on Which the Birds
Thrive and Grow Amazingly.

Valuable Feed on Which the Birds
Thrive and Grow Amazingly.
The most valuable poultry feed on
the average farm is milk, either skim
med sweet milk or sour or butter
milk. Most farmers feed the surplus
milk to the hogs. Milk fed to hogs
makes flesh that sells for around Z
or cents a pound. When fed to
poultry, especially during the winter,
milk makes eggs that sell for at least
80 cents a dozen, and flesh that brings
from IS cents to 80 cents a pound, in
the case of milk fed brOilers as much
as 80 to 40 cents pound, because in
discriminating markets milk fed pOul-
try always brings a premium over the
ordinary grade. Given all the milk
they will consume, hens will lay well
in season or out of season. 1t is not
possible to ove-feed on milk, as can be
easily done with other feeds, so it is
safe to keep sweet milk or sour milk
before the fowls all the time.
Vessels in which milk is fed must
be washed and scalded every day. Or
binary earthenware crooks are the best
vessels in which to feed milk to grown
fowls, as they are easily cleansed,
while if wooden trOughs are used they
soon become soaked with milk which
grows sour and foul to such an extent
that thorough cleansing is impossible.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
BY c. c. BOWSFlELD

Few farms are so small that their
owners cannot make live stock raising
pay. OF course it cannot be done on
truck farms of five or ten acres, but OH
the ordinary little places of twenty to
forty acres which are becoming COM
mon in all parts of the country it is
wise to raise few animals.
Sheep and hogs grow into money fast
and do not require much room. A
small dairy is usually kept where
mixed farming is carried on, and this
is great help in bringing forward a
few hogs. Nearly everybody who has
handled sheep lately has made money
This line of farming is well adapted to
small places and owners should study
up on it's advantages.
Winter lambs are ready for the mar
ket at two months of age and should
Camas Prairie chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1901-1917, 1917-03-09

then weigh between thirty-five and
fifty pounds. The market price of win
ter lambs varies considerably, and it is
desirable to have a special market for
your product when possible. The live
lambs usually sell for Is to 20 cents
per pound. But more can be realized
by dressing them yourself and selling
the dressed carcasses direct to some
high class hotel or restaurant. The
dressed price should run so per cent
more than for live weight, and special
markets can be found that will be glad
to get them at from 80 to 40 cents per
pound dressed. The pelts bring in
enough money to pay for the dressing.
The profits from winter lambs great
ly exceed those from any other kind OF
mutton production. The care and la
Dor are greater during the time the
lambs are growing, but the crop is dis
posed of within two months of birth
and at a higher price than spring
lambs that have taken care and atten-
ton for much greater length of time.
Winter Landing comes at a dull time
for the owner, allowing him to carry
On this part Of the industry without
taking any time from his regular du-
ties in other lines. The ewes should
produce enough wool to pay for their
keep, and the lambs will not eat over
81 worth Of feed during the short feed
ing period. They will sell for from So
to So per head. Subtract the dollars
worth of food that they consume and
you have a handsome return for your
labor and investments
This is only one simple feature that
may be adopted with good results on
any, farm, large or small. The inoreas-
ing demand for beef, pork, mutton and
dairy products is quite in harmony
with the movement for the cOnserva-
ton of soil fertility. That the time has
come when the farmer can prOfitably
feed his crops to stock there is little
doubt. Our 1OO000,OO0 people need
meat and dairy products; cur farms
need the soil building crops and the re-
sulting manure.
Farmers keeping stock should plan to
raise the kinds of feed adapted to their
needs. Where these feeds are grown
rotation is unavoidable. Fortunately
the crops best suited to the needs of
stock are the very ones needed to re
turn nitrogen and humus to the soil
By growing clover, alfalfa, grass and
small grain crops in rotation and con-
verting them into meat and dairy prod
ucts it is possible to maintain or in
crease the fertility of the land. Stock
farming provides for the growing of
soil improving crops and feeding them
out on the farm. In this way more
than two-thirds of the plant food re-
moved by the crops is returned to the
soil in the form Of farm manure.
Hence I advise the keeping of few
cows on the smallest of farms, and
where there is dairy of any size there
should be hogs and beef animals. The
calves born on the farm or at least a
number of them should be raised for
beef. By using a silO and raising both
alfalfa and corn a great deal can be ac-
cOmplished on a small tract of land.

HEART TROUBLE KILLS
OFFICER ". F. GRACE
Policeman Dies Early in
Morning, Following Two
Days of Grip.

Policeman William F. Grace, one of
the best known members of the New
Britain department and universally
popular. died suddenly shortly after
O'Clock this morning of heart disease
at his home at 26O Washington street.
An attack of grip and threatened
pneumonia aggravated the heart
trouble. Practically no warning was
given and death was wholly unexpect-
ed, even by mem bcrs of his immediate
family, as his condition was not con-
sidered to be serious. He was appar-
emily in an improved condition this
morning when he awoke. He talked
with his wife for few minutes said
that he would take another nap and
was seized with the fatal attack as he
was about to turn over in bed. Elmer
gency calls for medical aid were sent
out but death was practically instan-
taneous. DR.. Harry A. Elcock, medi-
cal examiner, viewed the body and
gave heart disease as the cause OF
death. Mrs. Grace was FRUSTRATED.
"BilP' Grace, as he was affection
to hundreds, was on duty Monday
night patrolling Main street beat al
though suffering from an attack of
grip. He grew worse and had to re-
port off duty during the early eve
ming. Since then he had been under
medical attendance and confined to
his bed.
He was born in New Britain thirty
seven years ago, son of the late Thorn
as Grace. and had lived in this city all
of his life. His education was gained
in st. Mary's parochfal schools. Fol
| lowing graduation he learned the
| bricklaying trade, following it with
/ success until he was appointed a reg
sulaf policeman June l., 1911. For
more than ten years previously he was
| u supernumerary. His record was ex-
! ceptionally good.
Fraternally, he was active in the
A. o. H. and Y. M. T. A. and B. so
| ciety and was a member Of the State
Police association
Besides his wife, to whom he was
| married about two years ago, he is
survived by three sisters. Mrs. Mary 7.
Cream, Mrs. Agnes Janelle and Mrs.
John McCue. and four brothers, Cap
tain Thomas w. Grace of the police
department, Peter j., Robert j., and
James w. Grace, all of this city.
The news came as a great shock to
Captain Grace both because of its
unexpectedness and the manner in
which he was Informed. He was be-
hind the desk at headquarters, acting
chief during the illness of Chief Will
liam J. Rawlings, just before court
when boy rushed into headquarters
and shouted 'Bill Grace is dead" For
several minutes tho captain was I'M
able to speak or realize the import of
the message. Even then he could
hardly believe 1t rs there had been no
warning given of the near approach
of the grim reaper.

Ossipe, Jan. 3-The state today
continued the work of gathering the
lose threads of circumstantial evil
dence by which it seeks to connect
Frederick Small with the murder of
his wife, Florence A. Small, and with
the fire which destroyed his home and
most of the evidence of the crime.
There were indications that it's di-

body found in the ruins as that of
Mrs. Small. and later removed from
the neck the cord which, according
to expert testimony, caused death. He
showed the jury how the moose was
formed before the cord was cut. and
testified that the square knot which
secured it was placed exactly at the
back Of the neck. The jurors were
told again by the witness of the task

DEGENERATE BLAMED
FOR STAYING MODEL
Captain of Philadelphia Police Says
Evidence Tends to Substantiate
This Theory.

Philadelphia, Jan. 3.-Detectives
assigned to unravel the tangle OF
clues that have been advanced in the
effort to find out who murdered
Maisie A. Colbert In her apartment
here last week were busy today ex-
aiming many who were acquainted
with the young woman.
Despite the statements of the cap
tain of the city detectives that In his
belief the former manieurist was
beaten and strangled by degenerate,
| there are persistent unconfirmed re-
ports that a wealthy young man from
upstate had not yet been entirely
cleared of suspicion of knowing some
thing about the murder. Captain of
Detectives Tate, however, said the
young man in question, who was an
admirer of Miss Colbert and was gem
erous with presents of jewelry and
money, had given a satisfactory ac-
count Of his whereabouts last Friday,
the day the murder is believed to
have occurred
Questioned regarding his theory
that degenerate had killed Miss
Colbert, Captain Tate answered:
"That theory still looks like the
best of ALL"
Captain Tate said the woman had
been hit on the head. apparently, as
she tried to raise a window In her
| living room to shout for help. The
window sill is stained with blood.
The mans shirt found in the bed
room was blood-soaked on the right
side, as If the wearer had carried the
| woman. There Is other evidence to
bear out the theory that the woman
! was assaulted. Captain Tate said.

The Message:

Gov. Holcomb's message was as fol-
lows:
mr.. President and Gentlemen of
the General Assembly:
No other general assembly has
been confronted with such world
conditions as exist today. and none
other has been required to meet
greater responsibilities than you may
be required to meet
The United States has been ex-
empt from active participation in the
struggle which involves most OF the
nations of the world and includes
our neighbors in Canada, but we have
had complications which resulted in
mobilizing our National Guard and
calling them intb service to protect
our states bordering on Mexico from
invasion.
I'VE are justly proud of the record
for efficiency made by the several
units of the Connecticut National
Guard, and are devoutly thankful
that they have been returned to their
homes without greater sacrifice than
was necessarily caused by pro-
longed, enforced absence from busi-
ness and home relations
while we earnestly desire too keep
out of war yet our immunity is not
assured, and I recommend the plac-
Ing upon its passage an amendment
to our constitution, under which, in
event of future war requiring this
state to provide troops, the electors
among them may be permitted to
participate in our elections without
the necessity of calling a special ses-
sion of the general assembly to pass
enabling legislation.
State Finances.
Two years ago in my inaugural
message, ] discussed at length the
finances of the state and made a num-
Der of recommendations to the gem
eral assembly which, in my opinion,
If adopted, would provide sufficient
annual income to meet the fixed
charges, pay certain amount to-
wards the reduction of the states
Indebtedness, and would also pro-
vide for some permanent improve
ments. I am pleased to state that
the general assembly of 1915 en-
bodied into statutes practically all Of
the recommendations relative to state
finances.
The result is that the new revenue
laws have changed the condition OF
the state treasury from one of a
continually increasing deficit to one
OF surplus which is apparently suf-
ficient at present to meet the reason
able fixed charges and to provide for
a substantial payment each year to
reduce the states Indebtedness. In
confirmation of this statement I ap-
pend statement of the finances OF
the state for each fiscal year for the
last ten years Excluding bonds and
loans from the items of expenditures
and receipts.)
1T will be noted however that the
funded debt has been decreased only
$4,000, the reason being that the
owners of the funded debt bonds will
not surrender them without receiving
