(From the United States Department OF
Agricultufe)
The keeping Of small flock OF lay
ing hens on a town or village LOT OF
in a city back yard is an important
branch Of poultry keeping. Thougn
the value Of the product from eacn
flock is small of itself the aggregate is
large. The product of such t1ock'
both in the form of eggs and fowls TOT
the table, may be produced at rela-
lively low cost, because Of the posi-
bility Of utilizing table scraps ana
kitchen waste which would otherwise
be thrown away. A small flock OF hens,
even as few as six or eight, snouIu
produce eggs enough, where USED eco
nomically, for a family of four or nVe
persons throughout the entire year. e1-
cept during the molting period or the
fall and early winter. By the preser-
walton Of surplus eggs produced DUR
ing the spring and early summer this
period of scarcity can be provided
for The keeping of pullets instead Oh
hens also will insure the production OF
eggs at this time. Not only Will the
eggs from the home flock materially re-
duce the cost of living, but the SUI
perior freshness and quality or the
eggs are in themselves we'll worth the
effort expended. Eggs are highly
nutritious food and are so widely USED
as to be almost indispensable, and an
occasional chicken dinner is rellShed
by everyone.
Where conditions render it feasible
and cheap small fiocks Of poultry
should be kept to a greater extent
than at present by families in villages
and towns, and especially in the SUD-
| urbs of large cities. The need Tor tnls

ularly great in those sections WheFe
the consumption of poultry products

Kind of Fowls to Keep.
Householders usually desire not only
| eggs for the table and for cooking, Du1
| also an occasional chicken to eat. Fol-
this reason one of the general purpose
breeds, such as the Plymouth ROCK
Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, or or
pington. is preferable to the smaller
egg breeds, such as the Leghorns. NO
| onlv do the mature fowls Of these
breeds. because of their larger size
make better table fowls than the Leg
horns. but the young chickens for the
same reason make better friers an(
roasters, whereas chickens of the egg
breeds are only suitable for the small
or broilers. The genera1-purpos'
breeds are also "broOdy'' breeds, tn
hens making good sitters and mothers
which is a decided advantage when l
is desired to hatch and raise chickens
since the hens of the egg breeds sci
dom go broody and are in any even
rather unreliable sitters and mothers
IF. however, the production of egg

Good silage is a perfectly safe feed
for horses and we'll relished by them.
Feed about one-half as much to
a horse as to a cow, that is about
half bushel at a feed. Either ground

hay is given the cOttonseed meal may
be omitted. They should have some

high-protein feed should be given daily.

To see the many focks Of chickens

one to wonder if breeders, aside from
those who breed for the showroom,

BEST FEED FOR YOUNG PIGS
Skim Milk and MiddIings Are Excel
lent Just After Weaning-Feed
Four Times a Day.

Skim milk and middlings make about
the best feed for young pigs after
weaving. When first weaned they
should be fed four times day, CIV
Ing only a small quantity each time.
When we'll started, three feeds day
are enough.

OUTDOOR EXERCISE FOR PIGS
Animals Should Be Protected From
Cold Winds or Hot Sun-LimIt
Range for SoWs.

Outdoor exercise is beneficial, but
pigs should be protected from cold
winds or from very hot sun. II the
SOW is turned out with her pigs, DO
not give her a very large range at
first, as she is likely to travel too far
and unduly tire the young.

IlsE FOR HOMEGROWN FEEDS
Comfortable Stable, Abundance OF Bed
dina and Little Extra Care Is
Recommended.

Owing to the high price of bran
and millfeed most milk producers are
feeding, homegrown feeds. Warm
stabling. abundance of bedding and ex-
ira care will tend to reduce the cost
of feed and the COWS will yield more
milk.

Not Only Should Male Bird Be Pure
bred, but He Should Be From
Strain of Producers.

The poor cockerel is a great hand1-
can to progressive poultry raising. Not
oil moor cockerels are mongrels; there
are many poor birds among the recog-
nized breeds. An effort should De
made to get the best to head the flock.
Not only should the cockerel be pure
bred, but he should be from a strain
of producers.

Barred Plymouth Rock Cockerel.

Red, or 'sDotte," from the type of bird
accented by the standard, is great.
Unless some pains are taken to keep
the birds of a breed typical of the va
riety they represent, a comparatively
short time makes all the breeds look
alike.
