OF course there are many col

citation. Is it not their association.
But there are not one half of the
number that should be enrolled
as members. In Wisconsin the
number can easily be counted up
on the fingers Of ones hands.
Every city ought to have a live
brand Of the association to keep
a watch for just such things as
occurred at Wales. Certainly
every colored man and woman in
the state ought to be a dues pay

Eternal Vigilance is the Price

motto Of the y. a. A. c. p. which
freely translated means the Ma.
tional Association for the Adj
yancement Of Colored People. Be
fore we Of Wisconsin knew any
thing Of the unjust and unwar-
ranted discrimination being prac-
ticed at the Wales Sanatorium in
our very midst that association,
with offices in New York, had pro
tested to the governor and cor
rected the abuse. A remarkable
exhibition Of serving the purpose
of its existence.
We repeat here what we have
before said. this association is
worthy the deep interest and the
hearty appreciation Of every col
orcd person in this country. It's
purpose is as its name implies
to advance colored people to the
position in our national life to
which they are rightly entitled.
1t aims to do this in lawful man

constitutional restrictions. 1t

BOILED OATS FOR CHICKENS
Favorable Results Obtained by Penn
sylvania Department OF Agri-
cuIture-Feed Warm.

Poultry experts in the Pennsylvania
department of agriculture report favor
able results from feeding boiled oats,
and state they are the cheapest poultry
food now obtainable. Boiled oats have
largely, too, superseded the sprouted
oats so much exploited a few years
ago, as they are better, safer and less
fussy.
To prepare, soak good, heavy oats
II hours or more Tin hot weather or a
warm room fresh lot should be
soaked daily, dissolve one tablespoon
full of salt in each bucket of water
used for this, boil two or three hours
and so gauge the amount of water
used for soaking that at the finish the
water is boiled away. Feed warm but
not hot. White LeghOrn pullets can
have these boiled oats twice daily, say
at 10 a. m. and p. m, and all they
will eat up clean. For old hens or
heavyweight pullets, one feed day
is enough and not too much at that,
lest they become too fat on this much
liked feed.

SPLENDID TYPE OF JERSEY COW FOR DAIRY.

fore milking the silage odors may pass
through the cows body into the milk.
Besides, the milk may receive some
taints directly from the stable air. On
the other hand, If feeding is done sub
sequent to milking, the volatile silage
odors will have been thrown off before
the next milking hour. Silage is usual
ly fed twice a day.
Many objections have been made to
the feeding of silage, some condenser
les even refusing to let their patrons
use 1t. These objections are becoming
less common, since milk from cows fed
silage in a proper manner is in no way
impaired; furthermore there is moth
ing about silage that will impair the
health of the animals.
Feeding Frozen Siiage.
Frozen silage must be thawed before
feeding. If it is then given immedi-
ately to the cows before decomposi-
ton sets In no harm will result from
feeding this kind Of silage; neither is
the nutritive value known to be
changed in any way.

Enables Farmer to Reduce Grain Ra.
ton About One Third-Influences
Laying Of Hens.

Giving the hens once day all the
sprouted oats they want to eat, which
is about square inch Of sprouts, grain
and roots, enables one to reduce the
grain ration about one-third and there
by effecting saving in high-priced
grain. Dat sprouts can be produced at
about 20 to % cents per buskel, while
the price of wheat is about $500 per
bushel. 1t Is also remarkable how
sprouted oats influence the laying Of
the hens. A change in this respect can
be noticed within few days after
sprouted oats have been fed.

Wheeled Pig Chute.

these wheels build a hog chute, such rs
is shown here, and you will always
have a handy loading device and one
that can be pulled around over the
place wherever it Is needed. This is
better than building a permanent load
ing chute near the hog lots, as the
permanent chute may be some distance
from the pens where the hogs are to
be loaded. If so, the wheeled chute
can be pulled over and set in place and
the wagons backed into place to re-
ceive the load.

INDICATES GOOD LAYING HEN
Large Bright Red Comb Is Character
istic Of Best Producers-Notiee
the Black Minorcas.

One Of the characteristics of good
laying hen Is large comb. The old
timers used to say, "the bigger the
comb, the better the layer" and there
is great deal Of truth in 1t. Notice
the large comb of the black Minorca,
one of our very best layers, and the
layer of the largest egg of any breed.
Notice the large combs Of the Leghorns,
the best of egg-layers. Put 1t down as
an axiom OF truth that hen with a
large comb, and a bright red comb. Is
good layer.

Patriotic Farmers Who Desire to Do
Their Bit Will Find II Wise to
Keep Best Layers.

Among farmers generally 1t Is the
common practice to sell hens over u
year old for poultry when they stop
laying in the fall. Under the usual con-
ditions this is good policy, for as n
rule only about half the flock lay well
enough the second year to be profit
able, and the farmer who has pullets
enough to replace all his old hens sees
no advantage in keeping any Of them
over.
This year, however, patriotic farm
ers who desire to do their part to in
crease the poultry and egg supplies
will find it desirable TO retain consid-

CAREFUL ESTIMATE OF FEED
II Bran and Shorts Are Used Freely
In Dry Mash They Will Take
Place Of Grains.

One is compelled these days to make
pretty careful estimates in regard to
kinds of feed for chickens. 1t seems
that bran and shorts are cheap as any
thing on the market. II these are used
freely in a dry mash with cornmeal,
making the shorts the predominant
part, the mixture will largely take the
place of cracked grains. 1t can be fed
in self-feeders. 1t is a good mixture
for growing chicks whether or not
cracked grains are used, and can prof
itably be kept before them all the
time.
