CUT BONE ENCOURAGES EGGS
Lessons Death Rate In Chicks, and
Keeps Old Stock In Healthier
Condition in Winter.
fBy WILLIAM JACK.)

When l commenced feeding green
cut bone, about the first thing l did
was to find its feeding value by actual
test. Hens under like conditions, with
fresh-cut green bone added to their
feed laid nearly twice as many eggs
in the winter season and third more
In the summer season than did the
lot without the bone.
/. Fifty-eight chicks Matched at the
same time from the same kind of eggs
were divided into two lots and treated
the same, except one lot was fed some
extra. The lot with bone extra to their
feed grew much faster and at the end
Of 13 weeks, the end of the test, a
person would never have thought the
two lots were the same.
The lot fed the bone were not only
larger, but had clearer and brighter
plumage. The lot that ate the bone
went through the test with the loss of
but one, while the lot without the
bone sustained loss of five. This,
with other observations, leads me to
believe feeding bone will lessen the
death rate in chicks and that old stock
will be healthier.

RATS IN THE CHICKEN YARD
No Trouble In Getting Rid Of Them by
Poisoning with CornmeaI and
Sugar Of Lead.

Rats cause great losses in many
poultry yards. There is no trouble in
getting rid Of them by poisoning with
mixture Of two parts cornmeal and
one part sugar Of lead. The hand
should not come in contact with the
poison feed, and all other feeds should
be removed SO the rats cannot get
them.
The poisoned feed may be kept away
from the chickens by putting 1t in a
tray, nailed to tho middle of the bot
tom of a box at least foot square
and six inches high. The box should
be closed on all sides except for a
number Of inch and half holes bored
through the sides near the bottom.
Burn or bury the dead rats SO that
chickens cannot eat them. The de-
cayed flesh OF even imprisoned rats is
likely to cause timber neck, as pto-
maine poison is called in chickens.

UricAcid!

Ever since the discovery Of Scheele in
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism i caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach distress,
swollen feet. and ankles, govt, etc.
II was DR.. Pierce Of the 1nvalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered new agent
called Anuric, . harmless remedy
that if taken before meals will carry off
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
joints and all the distressing symptoms
Of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
self, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce 10c. for
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and eliminates uric acid a. hot

BREED FOR EGG PRODUCTION
Hloh-LayIno Hens Cannot Be Depend
cd On to Produce Chicks a.
Good ~ Themselves.

The results of breeding for egg pro-
duction at the Ontario experiment sta
ton are an interesting supplement to
the work so long carried on at the
Maine station. 1t will be remembered
that the conclusion of the Maine sta
ton was that hens with high laying
records cannot be depended upon to
produce chicks as good as themselves,
even when the males Of the flock are
of the same stock.
The Ontario station concludes that
many 2O0-egg hens are not worth
much as breeders of 2O0-egg pullets,
but few appear as If their pullets
were out Of the ordinary and some Of
their sons have been very good breed
ers.
In other words, the power OF trans
hitting the heavy-laying quality is pos
sessed by some individuals, but not by
others. This is essentially the idea on
which the Maine station Is now work.
ing with the aim of selecting and using
the birds which have this transmitting
quality.
1t was found by the Ontario station
that the chicks Matched from these Sc
lectel birds began to lay much earlier
in the fall and laid in November about
five times as many eggs as common
pullets. Their excellence was largely
In their power to lay eggs in the fall
and winter. In the summer the COM
mon pullets were considered about us
good layers as the others.

A new breed Of poultry has come
ont from the west and demands the
attention OF practical poultry keep
ers. The Oregons being the name Of
the new breed, 1t is hardly necessary
to say that 1t had its origin In the
state Of Oregon. The crossing Of
White Leghorns and Barred Plymouth
Rocks produced the original Oregons,
which have been bred up to the pres
ent type by introducing much more
Leghorn blood.
Prof. James Dryden Of the Oregon
Agricultural college, where the work
was done, says that egg production
was. the first consideration in the
making Of the new breed, but that
another purpose was to develop an
all-round type Of bird that would
meet the market demands.
The Oregon Is medium in weight be-
tween the Leghorn and Plymouth
Rock, making it good general pur-
