HOW TO FEED YOUR CHICKENS

HOW TO FEED YOUR CalCk EMS
Some chicken raisers imagine the
only important thing in feeding is
what to feed. When to feed and how
often to feed are, however, also ex-
tremely important in determining
success. We will consider feeding,
therefore, from all three angles.
When you consider what to feed,
bear in mind that there are two dis
tinct methods of feeding. One con.
sists Of the use of whole or cracked
grains only; the other uses these in
conjunction with dry or wet mash.
Grain and Mash Used
The grain and mash combination
is used more than the other as this
is by far the more successful, es-
pecially with laying hens. Up to a
few years ago, wet mash was by far
the more popular, but since the in
PRODUCTION Of the dry mash hopper,
the majority Of commercial chicken
farmers have turned to the dry mash.
The reason for this is greater con-
venience, the saving Of labor, and the
elimination of contaminated food.
Many poultrymen still insist that wet
mash is better for egg production
than dry, but wet mash is in many
instances danger to the health of
the fowl. If you do use wet mash,
be careful to see that the mixture is
not wet or sloppy. Use milk as an
ingredient, preferably sour milk, as
this gives the best results. Do not
use more than once per day except
in cases where you are fattening
your birds. Buttermilk can now be
purchased in dry form. It can be
mixed with either the dry or the wet
mash. It is convenient, sanitary, and
possesses great digestive and food
values.
Equal Quantities Best
It has been found that the best re-
suits are obtained when birds con-
sumo about two pounds of grain to
one Of mash. This would mean
about equal quantities by measure
where bulky materials like bran or
alfalfa are used. Table scraps can
also be used to very good advan-
tage. They add variety to the feed
but care should be taken never to feed
the birds anything that is is anyway
spoiled for disease and sickness will
result.
Feeding Varies
Ordinarily, fowls are fed three
times per day but this will vary with
the food used. Where a dry mash is
before the birds constantly, feed the
whole and cracked grains only twice
a day. Give smaller quantity land
feed more often if you wish to keep
them active. This is to be recon-
mended where the litter on the floor
is not very deep.
If the wet mash is fed as the even
ing meal, give the birds all they can
eat. In the daytime, however, any
thing over a half feed will cause in
activity and will prove harmful.
Underfeeding is much more dan:
gerous than overfeeding. Birds will
not produce the desired number OF
eggs unless fed properly and the
Young chicks will not thrive If they
are underfed. While there is little
danger of overfeeding with the proper
system in use, the hen that takes on
fat from overfeeding, does not lay,
and has no place in a flock for that
purpose.
Grit and Shell Needed
Both grit, and shell are of prime
importance to both old and young
chickens. Birds do not grind their
food with oyster shell and must Al

be fed as without it good growth

Hemp Growing
Possibilities

It would be good plan for farm
ers in many sections of the state to
experiment with field Of hemp the
coming season. In this way a. more
thoro test can be made and the diff
ferent local soil and other conditions
determined that favorably or unfavor-
ably affect the hemp crop.
Hemp is doubtless the only fiber
plant that can be grown with any de-
gree of success in this state. And
since this will for many years con-
tinue to be grain producing state,
there should be both profit in grow
ing hemp and great saving in the
cost of twine as we'll, if the fiber can
be produced and converted into twine
in our state owned twine plant at
the Penitentiary.
Every state should, as far as pos
sible, supply its own needs and the
enormous amount of twine required
every year to harvest our crops would
indicate the advantage of making our
own twine without importing any OF
the raw material from which it is
made.
The Agricultural Northwest is as
sured experiments will be made in q
large way with fiber hemp in Red
River valley the coming season and
the experiments will be conducted by
experts. Nevertheless there may he
other sections of the state that are
as we'll or better adapted to growing
this plant successfully, hence it should
be experimental with, if even in a
small way, over as much territory as
possible.
Any information that may be de-
sired relative to this crop and its cul.
tivation will undoubtedly be SUPPLIED

TO KEEP PILLOWS CLEAN

If one will provide inner pillow
slips for pillows, the task of keeping
the ticking clean, will not be a dif-
ficult one. These slips can be made
of white, pink or blue cotton. Make
these innerslips to fit quite snug and
fasten the open ends together with
snaps. snaps If the slips are slightly
starched, they will protect the pill,
lows much longer. It will be found
much easier to remove and wash
these innerslips than to remove the
feathers and wash the ticking. These
innerslips will be found useful dur
ing the summer when one has to use
lots Of pillows on account Of the
extra help.

TRACTORS ARE USED BY CITY
Buffalo Declared to Have Best Gar
base Collection System by Boston
Investigating Committee.

Buffalo has the best new garbage col
lection plan according to three engi-
neers that Mayor Curley of Boston
sent to other cities TO find out which
had the best one in operation. The en-
gineer's report describes the Buffalo
system briefly as follows:
1.-THE city is divided into districts OF
such size that four horse-drawn We
hieles will handle thesgarbage, assies or
refuse, picking it up from the houses.
These four vehicles after filling are
pulled to central point from which
tractor takes them on the long haul
to the reduction plant, or dump, as
the case may be. In this way the short
haul with frequent stops is taken care
of by horses, while for the long haul
the tractor Is used taking several trail
ers. Care in routing vehicles would
be necessary to get full advantage of
the tractors and keep them constantly
working. These tractors cost about
$1,000 apiece and the trailers about
81 500. For city of the size of Bos-
ton the first expense for this scheme
might be $25o,00G, and considerably
study would be required to assure
its economy"

PLATOON COMMANDS.

When the company Is in line, to form
columns of platoons, the command is,
"Platoons right Ceft." This is exc
cuted by each platoon as in the school
of the company.
The right flank men in the front
rank of each platoon face to the right
in marching and mark time. The other
front rank men oblique to the right,
place themselves abreast of the pivot
men, and mark time. In the rear rank,
the third man from the right in each
platoon followed In column by the
second and first) moves straight to the
front until in the rear of his front rank
man. Then all three face to the right
in marching and mark time. The re-
naming men of the rear rank move
straight to the front for four PAGES,
oblique to the right, place themselves
abreast of the third man, cover their
file leaders and mark time.
Before executing this movement with
platoons, the captain makes 1t point
to see that the guides on the flank
toward which the movement Is to turn
are covering-that Is, are in straight
row, SO that the pivot men, whose po-
sitions are governed by those of the
guides, will also be in a straight row,
which will bring the platoons into a
precise column. This is effected by
previously announcing the guide to
that flank.
Following the command, "Platoons
right Qeft), MARCH," the concluding
command is to the company as a
whole-"Forward, MARCH," or "Com-
pany. HALT"
Being in columns of platoons, to
change direction, the command is, Col
umn right Qeft), MARCH" At the
preparatory command, the leader Of
the first platoon turns to the right on
a moving pivot; then Its leader com
mands. Forward. MARCH," at the
completion of the turn. Rear platoons
march squarely up to the turning point

Are We Living Too Fast?

Life In the great centers of the Unit

GARBAGE Dumps unsanitary.

Not a few cities dump their garbage
upon plots of land located usually in
outskirts of the city. This is not dis
posal AT all, but simply the placing or
removal of filth from one locality to
another. One health authority has
this to say in regard to dumping gar
bage on the outskirts:
"Whole groups of zymotic diseases
are traceable TO ground conditions.
When, as in some parts, soils are COM
posed of an accumulation of decaying
matters from the city. the building of
houses over it may conceal but cannot
destroy the contamination. More or
less of the foul air must find its way
out of the soil and endanger the health
of the people living upon it."
