FERTILITY IN DEAD LEAVES
Contain Large Amount Of Potash and
Are Useful as Mulch or FertiI-
izer for Garden.

Because leaves contain relatively
large amounts of potash, chemists at
the Ohio Experiment Station point out
the economy of using leaves as a
mulch or fertilizer for the garden,
rather than burning them in the
streets or cutters. They show that
100 pounds of leaves are worth about
56 cents for their fertilizing value.
When leaves are burnt the ash still
contains a considerable amount of fer
tilizing materials; but as the ashes
are generally swept away by the wind
or washed away by the water, their
value is lost. To secure the best re-
suits from leaves as fertilizer, it is
best to pile them in the garden and
let them furnish a mulch for the
ground during the winter; then they
may be spaded in the spring and In
corporated with the soil.

failure among the cooperative farm
ers' organizations in Texas.
Pure-Bred Swine Favored.
The value Of pure-bred hogs is being
widely preached and enthusiastically
practiced throughout Texas. Where
farmers go into the pure-bred business
rather than specializing in. pork pro.
ductiOn alone, they generally remain
in it longer, take more interest in it,
and accumulate more profit out Of 1t
than where they specialize exclusively
in pork production. The present de.
mand of the South for good pure-bred
hogs is very keen, so that there is lit
tie danger Of overstocking. Some Of
the hogmen hold annual cooperative
pure-bred sales twice year, and offer
nothing but the highest quality Of
animals, which are extensively adver-
tised and usually sold at a profit to
the owner, while they almost invari-
ably promise attractive returns to the
buyer when properly handled. Consid-
cradle hog trade with Mexico is being
developed by Texas stockmen. Mexico
provides an ideal hog country, but on
account of disturbed conditions dur
ing the last eight years the domestic
hog industry has been almost obliter-
ated.
Texas swine raisers have organized
state association, which is used to
coordinate all the county activities,
whether they are marketing or on a
pure-bred basis, and up to the present
this organization has worked out very
successfully. The state society is Of
great benefit in developing and Inn
proving county organization, as we'll
as being Of special value to its individ-
ual members, both in an educational
and an economic way.

REARRANGE PERCHES
IN CHICKEN HOUSES
See That Roosts Meet Require
ments Of Various Fowls.
Birds Of Heavy, Large Breeds Should
Not Be Compelled TO Jump Too
Far-Dangerous to Permit Hens
70 Crowd at Night.

When making readjustments in the
poultry houses it is always wen to
look over the perches and see if they
meet the requirements of the birds. II
fowls are of the heavy, large breeds the
perches should not be as high, for
many i'll effects are the result ofsjump-
ing from high perches. The lighter
weight fowls are usually better flyers
and can assist themselves in getting
up and down much better than can the
heavy ones. The two kinds should
never be kept in the same house at
night if for no other reason than the
above, says a writer in an exchange.
The height of the perches also brings
trouble if every one is not on the same
level. In endeavoring to secure the
safest place in the house all fowls will
try to reach the highest perch and the
lower ones are practically useless ex-
cept to the ones that could not fight
their way higher.
Always aim to have the perches at
the same height and have room enough
on them to avoid crowding. There are
dangers in crowding the hens at night,
to say nothing of this discomfort No
hen likes to be uncomfortable, nor does
any animal, in fact, and if we make
domestic fowls of the hens we must
give them the privileges and liberties,
as nearly as we can, resembling that
of their natural state.
High jumping from the roosts is
likely to injure the legs of the hens,
and If the birds have not attained
their growth they will be more liable
to defOrmities. 1t is the natural in
stinct of the fowls to want to roost
high, away, as they suppose, from
their enemies, as they do in the wild
state; and while rats should not be
permitted to infest the houses there is
less danger from them when the fowls
are high up. Then, too, the little
streams Of air (that should not be al
lowed to flow in on the hens) will do
less damage if the roosts are not too
low. While very high roosts are disap-
proved of it is, nevertheless, adyan-
tageous to have them high enough so
that the birds may feel safe and at
the same time have them on the level
for the whole flock that inhabits the
one house.

Although it Is good management to
allow poultry to rustic about in grain
fields and stock yards after the grain
crop has been stacked or thrashed, It
is essential to exercise particular care
that the fowl are not injured by feed
ing on damaged grain. Specialists OF
the United States department of agri.
culture assert that where damaged
grain is fed in limited amounts to the
flock which is on free range, the posi-.
bility Of serious injury is reduced to a
minimum. On the other hand, they
state that It is advisable not to feed
the damaged grain-and never to use
this material If it is moldy or musty

BEST FOOD TO FATTEN FOWL
Whether Young or Old Mixed crains
Are Better Than Any One Variety
milk Is ReIlshed.

Mixed grains are better for fatten-
ing fowl, whether old or young than
any one variety alone. Oats and corn,
ground, are perhaps the most fatten-
ing. Buckwheat and ordinary wheat
are good food and add variety to the
rations but they are not so fattening.
Chickens get tired Of one kind Of feed,
the same as people do, but they thrive
on mixed feed. Skim milk is one of
the best articles of diet that can be
put on the fowls bill of fare. It is
relished, ii is healthful, it is nourish-
ing and it greatly improves the color,
favor and texture of the dressed
meat Among the most rapid gamers
for killing purposes are the barred
Plymouth Rocks, the Rhode Island
Reds and the Wyandottes. Fed on
the above rations any of them can be
made to gain from a pound to pound
and a half in three weeks, possibly
less. This is profitable feeding.

Green cut bone can often be pur.
chased from the butcher. This ma
terial when procured fresh makes an
excellent substitute for beef scrap. It
should be purchased in small quanti-
ties, as it cannot be kept fresh for any
length Of time and when spoiled may
cause severe bowel trouble. 1t is best
fed in trough not Oftener than every
other day, allowing about one-half
ounce per bird. Should severe or con-
tinued looseness of the bowels follow
the feeding of green cut bone it should
be discontinued or the quantity re-
duced.

ing Different crops-Much Fer
tility Is Saved.

When it comes to marketing grain,
hay, silage, green crops, etc, the
dairy cow is almost indispensable for
economy. She consumes these bulky
feeds, converts them into finished
products easily and economically
marketed and at the same time saves
much Of the fertility in the manure
Where hay, corn, fodder, etc, must be
hauled to market there is considera-
bic expense, If most Of this expense
can be saved there is wider margin
for profit on the farm.

1t is. well-known fact that capacity
Is one of the essentials of a good
dairy cow and in order to develop this
characteristic the calf must be kept
growing from the very beginning. A
stunted calf will never recover from
the handicap. The calf should be in
duced to begin eating grain and hay
at as early a date as possible and
there should always be an abundance
of the hay accessible. ROughage de-
velOps capacity in the digestive or

amount of feed that a COW will con-

Opment of these organs.
Age to Breed Heifer.
Heifers should not be bred too
young, the age depending upon the
breed to which they belong as well as
the development Of the individual.
Holstein heifers should not be bred to
freshen before they are "a months old,
as rule, and a great many would do
better If given 20 or % months. Heifers

excessive carbohydrate ration. After
freshening, they should be worked up
to full feed very gradually, receiving
all the rOughage they care to consume
without waste; alfalfa or clover hay
fed in connection with silage or roots
being very good combination.
Amount Of Grain to Feed.
The grain should be light in char
acter to begin with and gradually
changed to a mixture Of grains that
will supplement the roughage; 800
pounds ground oats, 300 pounds ground
corn, 100 pounds wheat bran and 100
pounds gluten feed being a good com.

toned above. The grain can be in
creased a fraction of pound a day so
long as there is an increase in the
milk flow, but as soon as there is no
response to the increase it must be cut
down until there is a falling off in the
milk flow and then the increase may
be begun again. When on full feed
they will be consuming about one
pound'of grain to every 31a pounds Of
milk produced.
In the absence of silage or roots,
dried beet pulp may be used, but if
none of these are available or are too
high in price, oilmeal can be used in
the grain mixture to advantage. In
the absence of silage and roots, the
cows will consume large quantity Of
alfalfa. Sometimes it is advisable to
chaff and mosten portion of it when
fed under these conditions.
