POULTRY
FLOCKS
HOW OFTEN TO FEED FLOCK?
Confined or on Free Range
Good Plan Outlined.

Just how frequently chickens should
be fed depends on whether they are
confined or on the range. Some poul-
trymen feed their fiOcks twice a day,
while others feed them three times
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 very
long interval between feeds it is diff
cult to keep fowls busy which are
kept in confinement. 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 litter, which
will keep the fowls busy a great part
of the day.
For those who cannot conveniently
feed their fowls early in the morning
a good plan is to scatter grain plenti-

ECONOMICAL METHOD
IN THRASHING WHEAT
Task Should Be Performed Di-
rectIy From Shock.
Grain That Is Handled When Damp
Will Sweat Too Much and Be-
come Hot and Burned-Commu-
nifty Plan Most Desirable.

When thrashing can be done early,
the most economical method is to
thrash directly from the shock. Thrash
when the grain is dry, either before or
after 1t has gone through the sweat.
If the grain is too dry, it will crack IN
thrashing.
Wheat thraShed before sweating in
the shock will go through the sweat in
the bins, giving the grain a darker
and richer color. Grain that is thrashed
when damp will sweat too much and
become hot and bin burnt. When grain
is stacked 1t should be allowed to go
through the sweat before thrashing.
Community thrashing is desirable
where the farms are not large. The
individual farmer will get his thrash
ing done more rapidly and econOm-
icalIy where a group of farmers can
own and operate a thrashing outfit to-
gether.
See that the separator is well
cleaned before the thrashing is started,
in order to prevent the mixture of
grain and the scattering of weed seed
from the neighbOring farms.
Watch carefully the working of the
machine to see that the grain is en-
tirely removed from the straw and that
the chaff is blown out.
Stack the straw, use 1t as feed or
bedding for live stock, and so con-
vert it into manure.

COULD DOUBLE CORN YIELDS
Desirable to Produce Enough to Meet
All Demands on a Smaller Num-
Der of Acres.

Corn yields per acre in the United
States could be doubled within a few
years, and this could be accomplished
without increase In work or expense.
1t is not to be understood that it Is
desirable to double the present corn
crop. but that it is desirable to pro-
duce enough to meet all needs on
smaller number of acres and with less
labor. says the United States depart-
ment of agriculture. If 60 bushels are
raised on one acre instead Of on two
acres the labor Of blowing. narrowing
planting. cultivating, and harvesting is
greatly reduced.

HOW HOG NANCE IS SPREAD

Among Animals of Low Vital

Hog mango is spread mainly by d.
rect bodily contact, according to in
vestigatiOns recently conducted by the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The disease is contracted most
rapidly among hogs of low vitality,
especially those kept In small inclos-
ures. 1t spreads more slowly among
vigorous animals kept in pastures or

buildings. Failure by swine owners
to control hog mango results in heavy
losses from shrinkage as well as from

phur or arsenfcal solution with in

RAISING SHEEP FOR MUTTON
There Are Many Areas, Especially in
HilIy Regions, Where Few Ami

Sheep are not very generally kept
on farms for supplying the home fam
lily with meat. There are many areas,
especially in hilly or mountainous re-
giOns. where nearly every farm could
keep a few mutton sheep to advan-
tage, says the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Boys and girls
clubs in some parts of the country
have done much to foster home pro-
ductiOn of mutton.
''Sheep naturally Craze over rather
wide areas and seek variety of
plants. This habit particularly adapts
them to being kept in large numbers
