FERTILITY IN DEAD LEAVES
Contain large Amount Of Potash and
Are Useful as Mulch or Fertii-
ixer for Garden.

Because leaves contain relatively
large amounts of potash. chemists at
the Ohio Experiment Station point out
the economy of using leaves as q
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
&c cents for their fertilizlng 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, 1t 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.

1t is a 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 q date as possible and
there should always be an abundance
of the hay accessible. R0ughage de-

Heifers should not be bred too

breed to which they belong as well as
the development of the individual.

ments Of Various Fowls.
Birds Of Heavy, Large Breeds Should
Not Be Compelled to Jump Too
Far-Daneerous to Permit Hens
to Crowd at Night. ~

When making readjustments In the
poultry houses 1t is always well to
look over the perches and see IL they
meet the requirements of the birds. II
fowls are of the heavy, large breeds the
perches should not be as high, for
many Ill effects are the result Of.jump-
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 endeayorlng 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,
MS nearly as we can, resembling that
of their natural state.
High jumping from the roosts Is
likely to lnjure the legs of the hens.
and If the birds have not attained
their growth they will be more liable
to deformitles. 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. Thea, too, the little
streams OF air (tliat should not be al
lowed to flow in Oh the hens) will do
less damage if the roosts are not too
low. While very high roosts are disap-
proved of 1t is, nevertheless, advan-
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 inhablts the

According to records of the United

the United States. This is the lowest

excessive carbohydrate ration. After
freshenlng, 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
win supplement the roughage; 500
pounds ground oats, 300 pounds ground
corn, 100 pounds wheat bran and 100
pounds gluten feed being a good COM
bination to go with the roughage men,
toned above. The grain can be in
creased fraction of pound day so
long as there Is an increase In the
milk flow, but as soon as there Is no
response TO the increase 1t must be cut
down until there is falling of In the
milk flow and then the increase may
DE begun again. When on full feed
they will be consuming about one
pound of grain to every 3is 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 win consume a large quantity of
alfalfa. Sometimes 1t Is advisable 10

fed under these conditions.
