How Often Should You
Feed the Chicken Flock?

Just how frequently chickens
should be fed depends on whether
they are confined or on the range.
Some poultrymen feed their f1ocks
twice a day, while others feed them
three times a day. The best plan is
to feed fowls in confinement three
times a day and those having free
range in summer twice a day. When
there is a very long interval be-
tween feeds it is difficult to keep
fowls busy which are kept in con-
finement. Idle fowls often contract
bad habits, such as feather pulling
and egg eating, besides going out of
condition from lack of exercise.
In case it is not convenient to feed
three times a day, the moistened
mash may be fed in the morning,
and at the same time the noon feed
of grain may be scattered in the
busy a great part of the day.
For those who cannot conveniently
feed their fowls early in the morn
ing a good plan is to scatter grain
plentifully in the litter after the
birds have gone to roost. This grain
ing, say poultry specialists in the
United States department of agri-
culture.
Some poultry keepers can look
after their fowls only once a day.
If this is in the morning, moistened
mash may be fed, followed by throw
ing grain in the litter to furnish
feed for the remainder of the day.
If 1T is in the evening, before dark,
a moistened mash may be given, and
either after the fowls go to roost'
or in the morning, before daylight,
grain may be scattered in the litter
for eating during the day.

Convert Brush Into
Pasture: Utilize All

There are many hundreds of thou
sands of acres of land grown up in
brush that should be in permanent
pasture Most farms all over the
country have some such acres. With
labor as high as it is at present,
many farmers figure that they can
not afford to clear brush land for
pasture, but the United States de-
partment of agriculture points out
that the labor employed on practical
ly any farm can be utilized to clear
from one to a few acres of brush
land every year at times when regu-
lar form work cannot be done. The
brush can be cleared away at any
time, of course, and after 1t IS oil
the ground may be plowed at inter-
walls when the titled fields are too
wet for blowing. Every acre of land
cleared and put in permanent pas
ture means an investment that will
pay dividends through a lifetime.
The kinds Of grass to sow vary with
the locality The department. OF
agriculture has conducted extensive
Investigations to determine the best
methods of making permanent pas
lures in the various sections Of the
country. Literature and other in
formation on the subject may be had
by writing the department.
The fundamental factors that are
involved in making good corn silage
also apply in making beet-top silage:

Care Young Chickens
ShouldHave in Breeders

When chickens are first put into a
brooder they should be confined I'M
der or around the hover by placing
a board or wire frame a few inches
outside (this would not apply to the
small outdoor colony brooders). The
fence or guard should be moved grad
ually farther away from the hover
and discarded entirely when the
chickens are three or four days old,
or when they have learned to return
to the source of heat, poultry spe-
cialists in the United States depart
ment of agriculture say.
Young chickens should be closely
watched to see that they do not hud-
die together or get chilled. They
should be allowed to run on the
ground whenever the weather is ia
vorable, as they do much better than
when kept continuously on cement
or board floors. Weak chickens should
usually be killed as soon as noticed,
as they rarely make good T. stock,
while they may become carriers of
disease. Breeders should be disfn-
fected at least once a year. and
more frequently if the chickens
brooded in them have had any dis

COW CONNECTS ARITHMETIC
WITH LIFE FOR MANY BOYS

If you. started out to find, among
the, boys of today in the United
States, the one who is to become the
first man in the world in relation to
dairying. the first place you would
go would not be a cotton farm in
South Carolina, would it? But that
would have been the place to go on
that mission thirty years ago. The
present chief of the dairy division,
United States department of agricul-
ture, would have been the boy. You
would have found him, probably,
chopping cotton or maybe blowing
corn or cutting wheat with an old
fashioned cradle. And you might
have picked him for a leader in any
one of half dozen agricultural
there was no market for milk in his
community.
HOW a Dairynan Was Made
; How do you suppose he happened
to become a dairy specialist? Well,
his aunt gave him a heifer one time
MIXED her, sold her calves and kept
the money, and generally felt that the
COW was his. His interest in that
COW led to his interest in all cows.
That is one of the illustrations that
the department of agriculture might
aging the formation of boys COW
clubs. There are many calf clubs.
Banks have done great deal toward
encouraging boys to own calves. The
plan ordinarily, is to lend boy mon
ey to buy a calf, which he keeps for
a year, then sells and repays the
bank. The dairy specialists believe
that there should be COW clubs, also
and there are a few already. A boy
can borrow money to buy. helfer
about ready to freshen, and make her
pay for herself in from one to two
years, provided, of course, that there
is an available market for his milk
or cream.
One of the objects sought, of
course, is to interest the boy in cows
and in dairying, but the dairy spe-
cialists believe that they see way
to use the COW for deepening the
boys interest in other things, They
propose, wherever it can be done,
that the COW become the basis of
the boys arithmetic at school. ~
For the average boy, it is pointed
out, arithmetic is not related to life.
The figures are not symbols-they
are just figures. Every problem is

Cooperative Marketing
Successful to Farmers

During the first 100 days Of 1920,
IS cooperative carloads of hogs
were shipped from % Arkansas
counties. The $3.50 hogs in the cars
were owned by 700 different farmers,
or an average of more than 10 ship
pers to each carload. Returns total
ing $127,59052 were received for
these hogs at the central markets.
The average cost Of shipping was
only 94.3 cents per hundredweight
The amount made above the highest
price offered locally, where there
was. a local market, amounted to
$3.50 per car. or a total saving of
more than S17,500 on all shipments.
The season for shipping Arkansas
cattle has not started; but in 1919
cattle shipments from that state eX-
ceeded the cooperative shipments of
hogs, and indications this year are
that almost all the Arkansas cattle
will be shipped comparatively.
The cooperative shipping of live
stock by the method advocated by
the United States Department of Ag
rfculture has been found practicable
and profitable in all sections of the
country where live stock is produced

How to Make Sure .
That Egos Are Fresh

When supplying a fancy trade
with eggs, or on receiving eggs from
outside sources, it is often desirable
to determine their freshness. The
method generally used by commits
sion merchants for this purpose is
known as Gambling" and consists
in holding the egg between the eye
and a light SO as to note the con-
tents. This should be done in a dark
ened room, using one of the egg
testers on the market or simple
homemade tester.
The air space in a perfectly fresh
egg is very small, and as the egg
loses part of it's contents by evapo-
ration this air space increases in size
with the age of the egg. Fresh eggs
should appear clear and bright, show
ing no dark spots. Those accustomed
to Gambling" soon learn to detecL
stale eggs with a good degree of ac-
curacy and rapidity.
Another method employed by some
who have not great number to test
is to put the eggs in a basin or
water If good they will lie on their
sides; If bad they will stand OH
the small ends. The older the egg the
more upright it stands, and if very
old it will be suspended in the
water or even float on the surface

Nature has her own percentage
rules which are as infallible, in the
long rum as the Dealers margin at
a Monte Carlo gambling resort. Ac-
cording TO this inleXible law of av-
erages, there are about as many bull
calves born each year as there are
heifer calves.
Every good dairyman knows the
value of a pure-bred sire of good rec
ord, and what such an animal may
accomplish in the way of improving
a grade or scrub herd. Despite their
acknowledged value, it appears that
$4,000 pure-bred bull calves of dairy
breeds were killed for veal or were

Half Million Cattle

; From time to time the Bureau of
Animal Industry publishes a 'com-

the wide battle front where the al
lied forces of federal and state au-

The latest report indicates that
since the beginning of the move

Use of Portable Sawmi1l
A specific illustration of the ad-
vantage to be derived from co-opera-
tive effort is found il the use of
portable sawmill. If properly en-
profitable investment for a group Of
woodland owners, although an in
dividual could scarcely afford to buy
one. The mill can be moved from
one section to another from year to
year until practically the entire
area has been cut over. after which,
if sufficient time has elapsed. a sec
ond cutting can be started.
In such a cooperative organization
as suggested here all members would
be owners of woodland. The pos
SCISSOR of onM share would have the
same voice in the handling of the
business as the owner of 10 shares.
The manager should be selected by
board of directors, and should be
given large powers so that he can
make arrangements for manufac-
ture, grading, and shipping of wood
land products.
It is not necessary to put a large
amount of money into plart If the
association decides to arrange with
a local mill man to saw the lumber
for its members. In that event it's
main function becomes the shipping
and sale of it's product after the
manner of many fruit-shipping as

cording to grade and variety and
prorate their receipts. On the other
hand if a sawmill, turning plant, or
other wood-using machinery is to be
operated, considerable capital will be
required and the salary ana expenses
of the manager and his co-WorkerS
will have to be provided.

esting, because it does not connect
with anything that the boy knows in
his everyday life.
Making Dead Figures Live
But if multiplication means
pounds of cream from the boys own
cow multiplied by 40 cents at the
creamery X door, 9or+, or of if periGentagf
can be sold as cream, then arithmetic
becomes related to life, because it
deals with the things that the boy
touches and is interested in. 1t is
possible to base the whole of the
the cow: He would keep track of all
the feed, and later onthe neutrition
ratios from time to time. He would
keep track of the milk produced, the
fat it contains, how. much butter it
would make, and what it would be
worth at varying prices for differ
ent grades of butter. Somewhere
along the line he would figure the
cost of raising a calf and balance it
bring. He would learn arithmetic,
get a basis of business, and be-
come practical dairyman and cat
tie husbandman, all by the one proc
ess-a process. too, that would keep
him interested and happy.
Think the idea Over
Not every boy, Of course, is in
position to do a thing like that.
The biggest limiting factor, it is
realized. is the school-teacher. There
are a. great many teachers of rural
schools who could not teach dairy
arithmetic; and there are a great
many others who could teach it If
I'll they had time, but are SO busy that
they, could not give it the necessary
attention. But, all over the country,
there are neighborhoods where the
scheme would work, and in practical
ly every neighborhood there are
some boys who could just as well
manage a. COW as grow a calf for
year and then sell it.
The department does not expect
that the thing will become general
all at once, but suggests it as a
matter to be thought over by boys,
parents teachers, progressive bank
ers, and others. And the thinking
along this line need not be confined
to boys, either There are probably
nearly as many girls as there are
boys who could very well under
take the management of a cow.

efficiently than heretofore and at
lower cost. The overall dimensions
of the machine are twenty-four by
fifteen feet, and with from ten to
fifteen packers working at one time,
each machine permits run of from
two to three carloads of peaches
day. The device can be operated by
an electric motor of less than one
horsepower capacity, or by a small
gas engine, and can be run at half
capacity, if desired. According to
estimates of the designers, the ma
chine should sell commercially at
not more than $3.50.
1t is thought that, in addition to
sizing peaches the machine has pos
sibilities for grading fruits such as
apples, pears and oranges. The de-
vice now is being tested for grading
sweet potatoes.
