treatment is continued for long time
the animal may become permanently
stunted.
Stunting an animal as the result of
insufficient food may be only tempo
rary condition. An animal does not
lose it's capacity to grow as the result
of stunting. T. B. MumforA, dean Of
the Missouri College of Agriculture,
cites feeding test at the Missouri ex-
pertinent station in which an animal
that had been stunted by poor feeding
to such an extent that it weighed only
200 pounds at twelve months of age,
gained S41 pounds during the second
year. Only Sc pounds of grain for
each pound of gain made were re-
quired on this steer stunted during the
first twelve months. A steer that had
been generously fed during the first
twelve months Of his life gained only
500 pounds during the second twelve
months, and this gain was more eYpen-
sive than the gain made on the stunted
steer. The amount of grain required
to make q pound Of gain on the we'll
fed steer was 9.S pounds.
It is certain that stunning an animal
even for so long a period as welve
months does not destroy it's capacity
to grow.

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

When white diarrhea attacks a flock
Of young chicks many Of them die,
while those that survive are more "
less stunted. Feeding freely on sour
milk has been found beneficial. If sour
milk does not act against the disease
1t at Ieast 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 t. 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 Il weakened condition that at
the end of eight weeks SO per cent had

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 while you may see such
farms where hens are permitted to
follow this old way of foraging. But
as 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. Elk.
s1enSive 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 tenl-
Derature ia cold nights and still gives

The grain ration consisted of q mix
