POULTRY
FATS
GREEN FEEDS FOR POULTRY
There Is Much in Proper Curing and
handIing-Beets and Maneei-
Wurzels Also Good.

If YOU have fed clover or alfaifa TO
noultry in it's green state or dry you
know it's value If you have not USED
II as a hen feed do so this winter,
even if you have to buy some, ana
in future seasons you will lay in
good supply There is much in cur
ing and handling this food to have 1t
right for hens. IF it has been done
properly, cut into one-quarter-lnch
lengths. and place il. in a tub or bar
rel. then turn on steam or hot water,
which at once brings back the aroma
of the harvest field. Next spread out
in the mixing box and sift on some
cornmeal, middlings and animal meal,
salt a little and you have as good a
mess for laying hens as can be pre-
pared. In some respects alfalfa is
better than clover. 1t is very rich in
protein, yields more in year than
clover, and hens like it better.
For poultry it should never be al
lowed to become woody. A good field
of alfalfa will produce more hen feed
than the same amount of space put
into any other crop.
Next in order for dependable win
ter food come beets and mangel-wur-
zels. There are different sorts, red,
yellow and white. All make a good
winter hen feea. They are composed
largely of water. but it makes an ex-
eellent winter food, being easily grown
and kept and is very handy to feed.
BY feeding plenty of green food to the
hens in winter there is a profit de-
rived in two ways The hens will be
more healthy, therefore lay better, and
by working it into the daily ration the
cost of feeding the flock is lesseneo
considerably.

MISSION OF OYSTER SHELL
Not Given to Supply Grit, but to
Make Bone, Muscle and Feathers
Help Out Ration.

Many poultry growers, especially
beginners, have the impression that
oyster shells make a good grit for
fowls, but such is not the case. Oyster
shells, in some respects do help TO
grind the fowls food, but the chief
mission is to make bone, muscle and
feathers, They form the shell of the
egg, or assist in this matter and at the
same time aid in making a complete
ration when fowls are fed charcoal
and grit together with their grain ra-
tions- II you keep them before the
mems and do not feed fat-producino
reeds they will prevent soft.shelled
eggs and keep them from acquiring
the egg-eating habit, which is one Of
the greatest losses ever experienced

PLAN FOR BETTER PASTURES
Cut Useless Trees and Remove All
Rubbish and Brush-Top Dressing
of Manure Is Good.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Cut or deaden all trees except those
needed for shade, and clear off the
brush and rubbish. Pasture plants can
not compete with timber. One should
decide whether he desires woods or
pasture and act accordingly.
Have the shady places on the higher
parts of the field and not along run
ming streams or around ponds. Much
fertility is lost from grazing lands be-
cause this rule is not more generally
followed
Fertilize as you would for good
meadow. There is nothing better than
an occasional top dressing of stable
manure. This should be applied in the
fall or winter. Acid phosphate and
basic Stag are very efficient in promot-
ing the growth of tame grasses and
clovers and they in turn tend to crowd
out the weeds. The weed problem in
closely grazed pastures on rich soils is
practically nothing.
Reseed an old pasture only as a last
resort. If pastures in the East fail. il
lis usually because of depleted fertility
and not from lack of seed. Reseeding
should be done in a thorough and not
d slipshod manner and only after the
fertility of the soil has been restored.

house and then to the back. At the
front are two bedrooms, one 10 by
91a feet, the other 1O15 by 12 feet.
The two bedrooms in the center Of
the house are 1917 by ID feet and
101a by 10 feet. The rear bedroom
is 1917 feet square.
At the head of the rear stairs is
the bathroom and toilet, two separate
rooms. The former is exceptionally
large and provides dressing as well
as bath room.
Closets Are Numerous.
Closets are numerous in this house.
Downstairs there is large coat
closet at the end of the front entrance
hall. There are two more closets in
the first-foor bedroom. Each room
upstairs also has closet.
This is a substantial home that
will appeal especially to the farmer
who is considering building new
house. There are no frills about it,
yet 1t is an attractive appearing house
and one in which all the modern farm
conveniences, running hot and cold
water electric light and sewage sys-
TEN can be installed.s AS the mod
ern farm now has power, pumping
and electric system, the cost of put
ting these conveniences in the house
will be small, but they viii add
much to keeping the boy and girl
on the farm and making the work in
the house as easy as it now is in
the modernly equipped barn.
A consultation with the local build
er and lumber and material dealer
| will soon disclose the cost of such
home. either In town or on the
farm.

In spring a young mans fancy may
turn to thoughts of love, but to the
man of family, after winter of more
or less discomfort in his old house,
barren of many of the modern con-
veniences, thoughts of q new home
are more engrossing. During the win
ter evenings that new home that has
been In contemplation for several
years now has been discussed by the
whole family and many ideas of what
fEst home should be, both as to ex-
serior appearance and interior ar
rangement and of what materials it
should be built, have been advanced.
However, the head of the family
1.-The man who provides the money
for the new home--is the man who
has the last say. To him there en-
ters the idea of practieability, cou-
pied with cost. He is in faver of

or under load until the new oil has had
ample time to reach all bearings. The
dirty oil drained off may be filtered
and used for oiling other farm ma
chimes, but it should not be used again
in the cylinder. If the oil in the crank
case quickly becomes thin it is evil
dent that some of the fuel is getting
past the piston rings. This seriously
affects the lubricating quality of the
oil. It should, of course, be replaced
with fresh oil, and steps taken to i'm
prove the earburetion so as to form
Il fuel mixture which will burn more
completely.
Keep All Nuts Tight
1t requires but minute or two to
go over an engine and see that all
screws and nuts are tight, at the same
time wiping off any oil and dirt which
have collected. This should be done at
least once every day the engine is
used. Such practice will go far toward
preventing many operating troubles,
since all gas engines vibrate to some
extent and this vibration tends to
loosen bolts, nuts and other parts.
This is always a potential source of
breakdowns, il not of serious accidents.
Furthermore, loosening of parts often
results in n loss of power.

The house contains ten rooms and
| bath, six bedrooms providing Sleep
ing accommodations for at least that
many persons. Five of the bedrooms
are on the second floor and one on
the first floor.
The front entrance door opens into
hall 4 by 10 feet. To the left
is the front stairway. and at the
right through double glazed doors is
the living room. Being the gathering
place of the family. this room is
large, II by 13 feet. At one end is
an open fireplace with spaces for
built-in bookcases on either side.
The dining room is Immediately
back of the living room through an
open double doorway. This room is
Ia by 10 feet. but its straight lines
are broken by the bay window, which
forms an alcove 2 by 9 feet, provid-
ing place for either a long wall
seat, or flowers.
Many conveniences in Kitchen.
Connecting with the dining room is
the kitchen, 1917 by 13 feet. Here
every convenience is provided for
Beside the door leading to the dining
room is the sink. Adjoining it and
running around the full length of
the outside wall and part Of the rear
wall is work table. On either side
of the window is wall case. Thus
does the kitchen worker have every
thing needed at hand. Off the kitch-
en-, at the rear, is a large pantry,
also equipped with work table and
shelves. Here is located the ice chest,
with an opening to the back porch,
from which it may be iced.
Another door from the kitchen
leads to the rear hall. Here are the
back stairs. toilet, and Mushroom,
with plumbing fixtures. The entrance
to the washroom is from the back
porch, liz by feet.
Thus it will be seen that a person
can come in at the rear door, wash,
and go either upstairs, or to the
dining room without passing through
the kitchen, which in many houses.
in fact most farm houses, is COM
bined kitchen and passageway. At
the end of this back hall toward the
