GREEN BONE BEST FOR BIRDS
Cutting Machine Is Valuable During
Season of High-Priced EGGS
Use II Every Day.

No place with n large number Of
hens on it is complete in its equipment
without bone mill, and the owner
Of n bone-cutter that does not make
use of 1t daily during the season for
high.prlced eggs is making a mistake.
Yet one finds many of these machines
standing idle.
Green cut bone, with reasonable
amount of fresh, lean meat on 1t, Is
undoubtedly the very best kind of ami
NAL food that can be had for the win
ter layers. 1t is live animal food
and the nearest of any of the meat
foods to the natural, wild products
that the hen picks up in the shape of
bugs and worms while wandering
about the field in summertime.
A hen has to find the material to
form an egg from the food she gets,
and a chemical analysis of green bone
shows that II contains every element
contained in the white the yolk and
the shell of the egg. This accounts
for the avidity with which green bone
Is devoured by the hen. Instinct In
all animals, taste and a desire for
foods that are suitable for them,
causes the hen TO leave any other food
at any time for mess Of green bone,

RIGID CULLING OF CHICKENS
Exceptionally High Prices Of Poultry
Products Warrants Procedure,
Says Nebraska Station.

The exceptionally high prices of
poultry products this year warrant a
rigid culling of the flock, says the
poultry department Of the college of
agriculture, at Lincoln, Neb. The
sooner this is done, the better.
Males of large, vigorous type, show
Ing well-developed breast, strong bone,
large comb and wattles and bright
eyes, should be held for breeding pur-
poses. Crow heads, long beaks, and
weak legs indicate lack of constitu-
tional vigor, and are usually found IN
poor producers. Hold the late-molting
hen and sell the early-moltlng hen
the persistent or nll-summer sitter,
and the over-fRt hen. Sell the imma-
ture pullets or runts, and save only
the best. Never breed from diseased
stock.
Free range for breeders Is essential,
and II Is not wise plan to ,onfine
them permanently in winter quarters
until snow comes.

horses and mules, saddle mares, draft
and saddle foals, two-year-old fillies
and three-year-old geldings divided
into pairs. Each animal received the
same grain ration consisting of corn
two parts, oats two parts, bran one
part. One of the animals in each pair
of the growing and idle horses re-
ceived alfalfa hay as its roughage, part
Of which was fed at night and part in
the morning. The other animal in
each pair received alfalfa hay in the
morning and corn silage at night. The
draft animals at work were fed the
same except that timothy hay was
used instead of alfalfa. Some diff
Guilty was experienced In getting the
animals that had been on dry feed
previous TO the test TO eat the silage.
With two exceptions the animals re-
ceiving silage We're in more thrifty
condition at the end of the trial. The
ilage-fed mule was kept in better
condition as shown by the hair, skin
and general appearance, and yet cost
less to feed than mule which re-
ceived no sllage.

OBTAINING EGGS IN WINTER
Grains Should Be Scattered Among
Straw or chaff to Induce Exercise
Give Fresh Water.
CRy MRS. c. FIsHN

Provide warm, dry houses for the
fowls TO roOst in. Corn should only
be given for the evening meal during
cold weather to impart warmth TO the
body. All grains should be scattered
among straw or chan to induce eXer-
else. Green food and fresh water
should be given daily.
Clover, II cut very fine, scalded, and
fed with sprnkling of ground grain
in the morning, allowing the hens to
eat as much as they will, will keep the
much as grain.
Also, give meat and ground bones to
the fowls every day. This way Of
feeding is sure to give you eggs in
winter.

MISTAKE TO STINT ON FOOD
Bodily Requirements Nothing Is
left for Eggs,

1t is possible TO save feed-but lose
money. Sunting ON feed where feed
is needed is not saving money. For
eXample-a productive hen needs from
40 TO so pounds of feed per year, Part
of this satisfies her body requirements,
around 40 or so pounds. But If that
is all she gets she win have nothing
to make eggs of.
1t takes extra feed TO produce the
eggs. If that extra feed is not given
the hen, she will not give the eggs.

DRESSED FOWLS FOR MARKET
Starving Twenty-Four Hours Before
Killing Makes Bird More Attrac-
tive-Pick at Once.
CBy c. s. ANDERSON, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo.)

(By c. s. ANDERSON, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
Success in marketing dressed poul-
try depends very largely on the meth
DDS followed In killing and dressing.
Starving "a hours previous to killing
emptles the crop and intestlnes, i'm
proves the keeping qualities and makes
the fow. more attractive.
Bleeding-Since well-bled bird
looks better and keeps better, the kind
Of stick necessary to make the bleed
ing successful is very important Hang
the bird about five feet from the
ground. Grasp the head In the left
hand, comb downward, with the fore
finger part the bill. With the right
hand insert the sticking knife on the
right side OF the roof of the mouth
where the bones of the skull and neck
Join. This sewers a leading artery and
the bird will bleed freely. The knife
should be pointed and very sharp,
preferably two inches long and one
fourth of an inch wide.
Brain Stick--If the fowls are dry
picked, the brain is necessary. As
soon as the artery has been severed
insert the knife through the groove
in the roof of the mouth into the brain
This paralyzes the bird and causes the
feathers to loosen.
The bird should not be allowed tC
cool or the feathers to tighten, but
the picking should start at once, The
breast feathers are first picked, and

Snow Keeps Piling Up,

Reports to Union Pacific headquar-
tcrs here are to the effect that across
all that portion of Wyoming from
fifty or SO miles west of Cheyenne,
through almost to Green River, since
about the middle Of the month there
has been a fall of foot to eighteen
inches of snow The weather has
been cold and this snow has not
melted. With the high winds that
have prevailed it has been blown into
the cuts upon numerous occasions.
Then, when the snow plows have
lifted the snow out onto the embank-
ments, It has raised their sides un-
til some of them that previously were
but few inches are now six to fif-
teen feet deep. Each storm that
comes fills them to the level and
when the snow is again plowed out
the sides are still higher.
In many of the cuts the snow has
packed in so hard that it cannot be
moved by the rotary plows and men
with picks and shovels are employed
to dig it out.
So severe and so tight has the
blockade become that no effort is be-
ing made to run freight trains through
the snowbound district, nor will an
attempt be made until the track is en-
tirely cleared and the passenger
trains gotten back onto their schcd-
ules.
