Wild grapes are the greatest Of
roadside prizes and many are the ways
they may be preserved for the winter
table.
For green grape jam, pick the grapes
Just before they begin to turn. Halve
md seed them if you want delicious
conserve and mix equal parts of sugar
when cooking. A few pint jars OF
these will so delight your friends that
you will forget the labor of preparing
them. For jelly, wait until they are
beginning to turn, then you will have

The jelly is not nearly as good in color
and may lack the pectin found in the
5reener grapes.
Spiced grapes make another way Of
5arying this delicious fruit; use this
when you are serving venison, and be
thankful for such favOrs.
When everything else has been done
with grapes that you can think of, put
Up few bushels in the form of grape
Juice. No more delicious drink can be
offered the parched and tired traveller
than glass of grape juice with tin

The elderberry is another fruit that
need not be overlooked. Make a pie
and add bit of vinegar or few green
grapes to the pie to give it zest and
vou will surely make another very
soon.

or eight years before he offered any
for exhibition or for sale and his first
exhibit Of these novel fowls was strik-
ing. White Houdans are equally as
good in shape, size and laying quail
ties as the original mottled variety,
which has won such fame as a heavy
producer of large white eggs and as
good table fowl at the same time. The
greatest drawback to the dark variety
as table fowl has been it's dark pin
feathers. This, however, is entirely
eliminated in the new variety and this
feature alone is sufficient to commend
The variety to the producers Of table
owls for certain markets.

STEER RETARDED In GROWTH
Stunting an Animal as Result of In
sufficient Food May Be Only
Temporary Condition.

Live stock products are the result
Of growth. BY far the largest part OF
increase in animals is the result OF
growth. The younger the animals the
greater the growth impulse. Many
factors influence the tendency OF al
animal to grow. Among these are age
condition, CESSATION, lactation and the
quantity and quality of food. A given
amount Of food will produce more
growth on a young animal than on the
same animal at later age. All the
growth factors influence the young an
imal much more powerfully than older
animals.
If an animals food supply is insult
ficient for normal growth, the animal
may be retarded in growth. If this

MAKE BROODER CHICKS GROW
Importance of Correct Care and Feed
Cannot Be Overestimated-
Keep Them Thriving.

Breeder chicks should begin to grow
from the first day of their existence,
and grow constantly.
Two days of dropping and i'll condi-
ton will set them back ten days in
growth. The Importance of correct
care and feed, therefore, cannot be
oyerestimated.

GEESE ON RANGE OR PASTURE
If Grass Is Plentiful Fowls VIII Take
Care of Themselves During
Whole of Six Months.

Full grown geese can be turned out
on the range or pasture and if grass
is plentiful will take care of them
selves during six months Of the year.
They must have green food at all
times.
During the breeding and laying sea-
son they should be fed twice a day with
cornmeal and shorts in equal parts,
slightly moistened. If their food is
made sloppy it will cause bowel trou-
BILE.
Stale bread slightly moistened with
water is an excellent food and to this
should be added ground beef scraps.

Hatch-Poson Is Best.

Get rid of all rats before chickens
hatch and it will save both time and

NUMBER OF FOWLS IN FLOCK
Under Ordinary Conditions 300 Is Con-
sdered About Right for the
Average Farm.

One of the most important things
to consider in the poultry business
from the viewpoint of profit is that Of
keeping the proper number Of birds in
the farm flock. Under ordinary condi-
tons, it is held that 300 fowls repre-
sent the best number.
It should be large enough to make
the producer Independent of the local
market and yet not be so large as to
interfere with more profitable enter
prises. Three hundred fowls take lit
tie more time or equipment than $50.

DAILY EXERCISE FOR STOCK
Horses and Mules Should Be Given

Horses and mules should have good
daily carding and regular exercise. If
there is nothing for them to do re-
move their shoes and give them
run for an hour or so in u well-fenced
lot adjoining the stables.
The best and safest fence for pas
ture is of stout woven wire, rail or a

Barbed wire should not be used, as it
is dangerous.

SUNLIGHT is BIG ESSENTIAL
Provision for Admission of Maximum
Amount of Light in Barn Should
Not Be Overlooked.

No barns or shelters for any kind
of animals should ever be constructed
without making ample provision for
The admission of the maximum amount
Of sunlight. Such buildings should
have a southern exposure, if possible.
This will provide extra warmth in the
winter time and the sunlight which is
thus permitted TO enter the building
