POULTRY HOUSE SITE.
HIGH Ground Best Location For All
Seasons Of the Year.

High ground is the best location for
the poultry house. according to I. S.
Townsley. assistant in poultry hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college.
Dryness is most important factor
to be considered in the selection OF
site for the poultry house. Dampness
is one of the greatest enemies of poul-
try The soil on which the house is
built should have good drainage. This
may be obtained by selecting high
ground or soil that is sandy or of light
gravel.
A high location is desirable in win
ter also because of the air drainage
The cold air flows into low places and
causes frozen combs AMI toes In poul-

is preferable because II is warmest III

A northern exposure should be avoid

Cottonseed meal, distillers' grains.
brewers grains and linseed meal are
the cheapest sources of protein. A
mixture of corn and cottonseed meal
alone would not be a coed ration. as it
is too heavy-that is, it forms sticky

i've juices cannot penetrate easily.

Of these is nearly always included in
the ration fed heavy milking cows re
quiring liberal grain feeding.
The most difficult question to decide
this winter is how literally one can
afford to feed dairy cows. AS gen.
eral rule. feeding a COW to near her
capacity is the most economical. If the
farmer goes to the expense of main
tanning the COW 1t is not economy to
fail TO make use of her productive ca
pacity. A good rule for practical feed
ing is to give the COW as much rough
age. silage and legume hay as she will
eat clean. then feed in addition one
pound of grain TO each three pounds
of milk for Jersey and one pound of
grain for each four pounds Of milk
from a Holstein.
4 dairy COW should be in good condi-
ton at time of calving. The amount of
milk she gives when fresh usually
shows her capacity. She should then
be fed enough to support this milk
production. \ COW that does not have
the inheritance to give more than
twenty pounds of milk daily cannot b.
made to give forty by liberal grain
feeding. However, the COW that starts
giving forty pounds will not continue
to do so long unless sufficient feed l.
given TO furnish the raw material 70.

IMPORTANT To SPRAY
ORCHARDS IN WINTER

To use a cheap grade OF spraying ma
terial is poor economy. writes +. A.
Lawton In the Orange Judd Farmer.
For several years have used lime sui
phur with more or less success Last
year | decided TO try the soluble sui
phnr compound and found it is much
better TO handle and the results from
spraying were improved. Orchards
that had not responded reality to for
mer treatment were In much better
shape after a winter spraying with
soluble sulphur compound.
The winter spray for fungus should
be put ON before the buds start In the
spring. This is the most important
spraying of all. for If an orchard Is
badly infected with fungus no amount
of summer spraying will give good
fruit. while an orchard given thor
oucb treatment of winter spray will
give a crop of fruit in fair condition
without any other treatment. But If
YOU wish to lie sure OF getting hrst

be followed by another later on when

Fire Loss in United States.

II one could imagine all the build
ings destroyed by fire in the United
States in year arranged along one
highway, each building occupying a
lot So feet wide, the highway would
extend from New York to Chicago,
and the buildings would line it on
each side. Such is the calculation Of
the department of interior. Further
more, person travelling this scene Of
desolation would pass in every thou
sand feet a ruin from which an in
jured person has been taken. At every
three-quarters of mile he would en-
counter the remains of a human be-
ing who had been burned to death.
For years, 1t is estimated. the
value of actual property annually
consumed by fire in this country
reaches $25O,0O0.OOO and another 81 -
of about like proportions is spent for
the maintenance of fire departments,
waterworks, insurance premiums, etc.,
to prevent still greater losses.-Cleve-

NATURE HOLDS BALANCE SVEN
Creatures That Prey, ard Those That.
Are Preyed Upon, Have Natural
Increase Limited.

However smart and awake to the.
frequent dangers that may at any,
time assail them, the creatures that
are preyed upon are often caught; the
preying ones get them from time to
time, and IL this were not so they
would increase beyond all bounds. Ii
Is true also that those that prey often
go hungry, and they, too, have enemies
or diseases, which later amount to the
same thing in the struggle for exist
ence and the limiting of numbers. So
nicely is nature balanced as a gem

II might be explained that Germany
