BETTER FARMING

An important pvt IF Bet'ef
Farming" is covered BY proper
care of the cr"rs at:et thy a'e
made and harvested. Corn is be-
ing g.:her. Il all over the Parish i,
aud during the past t"r weeks |
have seen many fartne's pulling
an storing corn which WAS too
WEI. and in sew. raj instances |
h v. seen c,:n heating in the cribs
These conditions bad at any
time and doubly so inst now when
Corn Is high In price and the coun
try at large is In such sore need Of
economy in the handling AMI use
of all food and fee crops
The best practice in this weavil
ridden section is TO shuck corn in
the field dnu thus leave m st OF
the we.vils on the GUS de Of the
CRIBS. An Covered W tn all or a
NO, ton Of the shLCks is fine place
for the weav.Is 10 pass The winter.
AMI The d mage is sure TO be or a
ter th,n If the G I'm vas shucked
before il was cribbed. 0fcourse ia
miyat on With disul h de of carr
bon high life after the corn is II"
tbs crib would destroy the we,.vils
better if the corn were shuck. d.
bur as most Of our cribs are 10 'se-
| constructed such fnmigation S
impr 'ctical TO most OF orr farmers
bu we can al do tho things
which are possible under our cir
cumstances. namely, shuck the
co n N the fields and put me i. .
10 the CRIBS OILY when thoroughly
dry We can also save some d m
age to. this years crop if we clean
our cribs we'll and remove all the

Give this your attention, Mr..

greatest n most economical produce
ton. When marketing, Gull out the
nonproducing hens and those over two
years old. This must be done in order
to make tho most out of the grain be-
ing consumed by tho flock.
Produce infertile eggs. The superior
arc without question. The turning of
good grain into spoiled eggs is a bad
leak, and can easily be stopped.
Small nocks should DO kept by those
living in small towns and villages
Table waste will greatly reduce the
amount of grain needed. This waste
would be rendered more available for
the hens IL put through a meat cutter.
Owing to the unusual demand for
wheat for human food, n wheatleSs ra-
ton Is advised for poultry. The fol-
lowing ration: scratch mixture OF two
pounds Of cracked corn and one pound
OF oats; dry mash. three pounds OF
cornmeal and one pound of beef scrap
has been used for one and n half years
on the government farm with thirty
leghorn pullets. and an average pro-
duction OF 1913 eggs per hen was Sc
cured in the pullet year. This ration
was fed to the pen of u Orpingtons
which held the highest egg records OF
any Of the largest feeding pens this
year. The scratch mixture should be
fed sparingly SO that the hens will cal
equal parts of scratch mixture and dry
mash. Whom wheat is omitted from
the ration II is very essential to feed
a considerable proportion of beef scraI
in the dry mash-about rs per cent
Beef scrap is one Of the cheapest poul-
try feeds. considering its high protein
content.
