>FAEI1S
MORE CHICKENS ARE WANTED
Farmers Are Urged by Department Of
Agriculture to Stock Their Farms
With More Poultry.

from the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
The United States department of ag-
riculture urges as many as possible Of
the farmers who have not raised chick
ems to stock their farms this year with
fowls, enough at least to supply the
needs Of their own households. This
will be big factor in the nationwide
campaign which will endeavor to dOu-
BILE this year the chicken and egg pro-
ductiOn Of the United States. Accord
ing to the last census, of the 6,371 SOP
farms in the United States, 1927, 743
reported no egg production. The more
chicken"and-mOre-egg campaign is ex-
pected to displace millions of pounds
of beef and pork in American menus
and send the released product across
the ocean to our soldiers, the allies,
and the hungry people of the lands
devastated by the Prussian war torch.
The department does not advise that
the general farmer embark in extern
sive raising of poultry, but warns
against such ventures. But it sees
no reason why every farm should not
produce enough chickens and eggs for
it's own use, and why there should not
be enough surplus to make chickens
lie at reasonable prices and in such
quantities that there will be markedly
less domestic demand for the meats
that are needed abroad and that can
be transported there.

FOWLS EAT WASTE MATERIAL
On Some Farms Chickens Pay for
Themselves by Destruction Of In
furious Insects.

(F"rom the United States Department OF
Agriculture)
Chickens as a by-product of general
farming find much of their feed in the
waste materials that otherwise would
serve no useful purpose. The atten-
ton and labor they require can be Civ
en- largely even by children, and should
not require the employment of addi-
tfonal hired workers. On some farms
the chickens practically pay for them
selves by their destruction of orchard
and vegetable insects. On others they
help to pay for themselves by their
production of manure, which when
properly used largely increases the
value of the land. Fifty fowls will an
nuaIly produce at least ton of ma
nure that can be made as valuable as
commercial fertilizer.

WINTER CARE OF THE SHEEP
Smaller Amount Of Grain Needed Than
for Other Live Stock-AII Depends
on Hay Used.

Sheep can be wintered with a small
er use of grain than is needed for 9TH
err live stock. ALI depends upon the
kind of hay or other roughage used.
Coarse-stemmed hays like timothy, red
top and bluegrass have very few
leaves and therefore are poor sheep
feeds. Timothy is unpalatable, causes
constipation, and the dry timothy
heads work into the wool, causing ir-
ritation to the skin, lessening the value
Of the clip and making shearing diff
cult. When timothy or other coarse
stemmed hay il fed 20 sheep in winter
quarters, supplementary protein feed
is needed. From one-quarter to one
half pound of 1inseed meal per eve
daily should be used, depending upon
the size and condition of the animal
and the other feed used.

LIMBER NECK IN CHICKENS
AfflictEon Caused by Ptomaine Poison
ing From Eating Decaying Flesh
TRY to Prevent.

Timber neck in chickens is caused by
ptomaine poisoning from eating de-
caying flesh. Where fowls run at
large they frequently pick up dead
rats, mice or other animals and in
this way become affected with the
germs, which quickly cause death.
Whole flocks are sometimes wiped out
in the course of few weeks.
Prevention is the best remedy. If
you are losing chickens from this
cause shut up the flock and feed them
on sound, sweet grain and feed. A
simple effective treatment is to use
permanganate of potash. Put an

There are no large sections north of
