TO GET EGGS DURING WINTER
Comfortable Houses Must Be Provided
to Secure Most Profitable Re
turns From Hens.

Times have changed since chickens
roasted out on the trees and fences.
Once in a while you may see such
farms where hens are permitted to
follow this old way of fOraging. But
as a rule every hen must pay a profit
or she goes to market and at an early
age too. Hens are measured by the
number OF eggs they lay instead of by
the number of pounds they weigh. Ex-
pensive houses are not necessary but
must be comfortable to insure proper
egg laying. A house should accom-
modate as many hens as space calls
for without crOwding; about two
square feet Of floor space per hen is
about right. This keeps up the tenn
perature in cold nights and still gives
scratching room to insure egg produc-
ton.

producing the present variety of White
Plymouth Rocks. They have attained
great popularity, widely bred, both for
utility and fancy.
They are hardy and especially adapt
ed TO farms. The hens lay large dark
brown eggs of a grade much sought
in certain localities.
The chicks are vigorous, strong and
active, and grow exceptionally fast on
range, reaching maturity at from five
and one-half to six and one-half
months old. They are readily salabIe

ing them worth just as much as the
male animals.
This argument was recently SUBJ
stantiated when one man marketed
a drove of 80 head of Angus yearlings
10 steers and IL heifers-which sold
at $11.4O. In the pen the heifers
looked exactly as good as the steers
and sold right along with the bunch.
1t looks like a high price for She
stock, some might think, but being
the same age and quality. they were
able to do as we'll and mature into
the proper sort OF beef animals.
It seems heifers in the yearling class
sell best; in fact, the larger proper
ton of those that are fed for beef are
marketed at such age. In the feed
lot it need not be entirely a steer
population, because heifers of the right
sort should yield as large profit, pro-
viding they are the same grade as
the steers. They will gain just as fast,
making their cost OF production no
higher.
The product OF this class of stock
matches up well with steers when
killed. That is why packers take them
along at the same prices. Many feed
ers who have a surplus of female
calves cash them for veal, but it seems
more money would be realized by fat
tening them and cashing for beef i1r
stead of at the early age.

DAIRY cow AND HER PRODUCT
Tested Annually for tuberculosis
Use Concrete Floors.

It is a good rule to have every COW
in herd tested at least once a year
for tuberculosis.
To insure steady motion, a separa-
tor must be fastened to a solid founda-
ton. A concrete floor gives this bet
ter than anything else.
Sometimes lack of exercise causes
barrenness in dairy cattle. It is never
well to allow the dairy COW to take on
much fat. Always give her plenty of
exercise.
The average cow in full milk flow
will consume from 80 to 40 pounds of
silage to advantage. Add to this some
10 pounds of dry fodder, and the
rOughage feed is complete.
Only concrete floors should be per-
mitted in a dairy barn. They cost
more, perhaps, originally, but they are
the cheapest in the long run. For
one thing. they make it possible to
save some of the liquid manure. a very
valuable item.-Clemson College Bull

CARE AND ATTENTION
GIVEN YOUNG CALVES
Such Work Is Highly Paid For by
Greater Number of Animals
Saved From Disease.

A great deal of care and attention
must be given calves during the first
six months, if they are to be reared
successfully, says II. II. Kildee of the
Minnesota experiment station. But
such care is well warranted and is
highly paid for by the greater number
of calves saved from the ravages of
scOurs and other diseases and by their
better quality when they mature.
To guard against navel Infection.
which so frequently causes the death
of calves, the following method has
proved to be very efficient:
Draw liquid from navel cord as soon
as calf is born.
Apply tincture of iodine literally to
cord, both internally and externally.
Dust compound alum powder on the
cord every few hours for one day.
Whether the young calf should be
left with the cow for a few days or be
taken away Immediately is a question
on which practical dairymen are not
agreed. In most cases it is the prac-
tice to leave the calf and cow together
for two or three days, so that the calf
may secure the first milk, or colOStrum,
at the normal temperature which is
quite essential in starting the digestive
system properly. Then, too, the calf
assists in relieving the Inflammation
in the cows udder at this time.
For the first three weeks after the
calf is taken from the dam, it should
be fed from two to three and one-half
pounds of whole milk three times a
day. Care should be taken to feed this
milk Immediately after it is drawn and
before it becomes cool. When the calf
- three weeks of age it must be fed
twice a day and skim milk can gradu-
ally and slowly be substituted for a
like amount of whole milk. Three
more weeks should be used in getting
the calf onto a whole ration of skim
milk. When it reaches the age of six
weeks it should be receiving from ID to
Is pounds of warm milk a day. Great
care should be taken not to Overfeed
the calf with milk, as more calves are
injured by overlooking than by under
feeding.

1T PAYS In DOLLARS

Animal Should Be Comfortable at
narrowing Time, Says Exten-
sion Specialist.

Kindness has an economic value in
the handling of hogs, according to Carl
P. Thompson, specialist in animal hus-
bandry, division of extension, Kansas
State Agricultural college.
''The wild SOW usually is cross at
narrowing time" said Mr.. Thompson.
IF she is terror stricken when the at
tendant comes around she may tramp
on the pigs.
Most sews need some attention at
narrowing time if the weather is cold.
The pigs may get away from the sow
and will become chilled if not put back.
If the sow is tame it will be an easy
matter to give any assistance neces-
saFy. The saving of the litter occa-
sionally depends upon prompt aid.
''The sows should be kept in COM
Portable, well-bedded place, so they
will not pile up in cold weather. It is
well to have guard rails in the farrow-
ing house, eight inches from the wall
and eight inches from the floor"

GIVE SOUR MILK TO CHICKS
Found Beneficial in Cases of White
Diarrhea by Professor kaupP
of North Carolina.

When white diarrhea attacks flock
of young chicks many of them die,
while those that survive are more or
less stunted. Feeding freely on sour
milk has been found beneficial. If sour
milk does not act against the disease
it at least gives the chicks greater
strength and vitality so they are not
seriously affected if attacked.
In some tests by Professor Kaupp
of North Carolina be found that chicks
fed on sour milk quickly recovered
when attacked and the loss was only
10 to 16 per cent. In a similar lot,
handled and fed the same except for
the milk, the loss was "a per cent the
first month, while the remainder were
in such q weakened condition that at
the end of eight weeks Sc per cent had
died.

ECONOMIC RULE is UNBRoKEN
The More Money the Higher the

When the Indians OF New England
found plenty Of seashelIS out of which
to make their money called wampum,
the more Of 1t they would give for q
blanket, basket, kettle. pair OF mecca
sins or feather bonnet, says Girard in
the Philadelphia Ledger.
The political economy Of King Phil
lips race and time still prevails. Ev-
cry day this year the rest OF the world
has dumped a cool 100000 Of gold
upon the United States. Now we have
nearly 1,O0O,OO0,0OO more gold than
we had when the war began.
If we had cheap wheat, shoes, over
coats, vegetables, or coal after hav-
ing added nearly 80 per cent to our
gold hoard, we should be obliged to
tear up all those fine spun and dusty
political economy books we were
taught in school.
But the books stand, and rightly so,
for the very paper they are printed on

sal wave OF gold. When this IN

Let US suppose that a breeder has

lack Of judgment, or for some unac-
countable reason, permitted the use

tablished type. In so doing he has
destroyed the results Of years. Now

Basis for Breeding.
Nothing that one can do as a cat
tie breeder Will strengthen his posi-
ton at the market so much as to fur
nish steers that are purebred or at
least that have four or five purebred
tops. So let the improved animal, the
registered animal, be the basis for the
breeding operations. This is vastly
more important now than in the early
days when the improved animal did
not appear at the market in consider
able numbers.
Competition is keen today in this
field and the man who attempts to
make success of raising inferior cat
tie on the assumption that they are
profitable will find himself severely
handicapped because cattle of the i'm
proved type go to market in large
numbers and are given the preference
by the buyers"

BUSINESS OF RAISING PUREBRED STOCK

Raising purebred cattle is not bust
ness that can be engaged in one year
and closed out the next, asserted
Frank D. Tomson. editor of the Short
horn in America, in an address before
the Kansas Improved Stock Breeders
association at the agricultural college
farm and home week.
'SThe business OF raising purebred
stock" said Mr.. Tomson, requires a
steady, continuous, persistent applica-
ton of thought and purpose. And for
this reason the farmers in the British
Isles have attained a degree of sue
cess that we have scarcely reached in
this country.
'1The making of a pedigree means
an intelligent selection and mating Of
types. This involves some knowledge
OF the preceding ancestry. For in
stance, one would hardly expect a
breeder to produce cattle that would
reproduce accurately if he used a
small, fine-bOned, smoothly finished
sire for one cross and then followed it
by an diversified sire OF uneven con-
formation and heavy bone, and con-
tinued this plan. The offspring would
lack uniformity and could not be re-
lied upon to reproduce type.
The correct method would be for
the breeder to form in his mind the
to perpetuate and then select his sires
as nearly of this type as possible.
Having done this, the pedigree would

Noticeable Increase Where Purebred
Bulls Are NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Do
Not Pay for Keep.

Figures recently compiled by the
University of Illinois seem to show
that there is a definite relation be-
tween a good bull and the size of the
dairyman's income.
On 124 dairy farms where purebred
bulls We're kept at the head of the
dairy herd, the average farm income
was $1,102 after deducting the taxes,
interest on investment, etc.
On 466 dairy farms where q grade
bull stood at the head of the herd the
farm income was found to be S734 per
year, and on 80 farms where scrub
bulls were used the farm income was
-$243. or failed by $243 to pay inter-
est on the investment, to say nothing
about pay for the owners time.
