 that is enclosed in it and the manure never becomes very hot
 The presence of an abundance Of moisture tends to prevent hot fer nlentation due first to the cooling effect of the moisture itself, and to the fact that the moisture prevents the entrance of sir The manure heap should be carefully watched and water added to t occasionally if it shows any tenae1 to become too dry,
 The first step in the preservation of manure should be the mixing of the different kinds produced on the farm, for in this way the rapid fer mentatiop that would take place in the dried horse and sheep manure is checked by the more moist COW and pig excrements. When it is .possi le, the manure should be turned oeca- sionally, for this causes it to de- compose more rapidly and evenly. When. necessary to store the manure for some time, it is a good plan to cover the heap with an inch or two of earth. This prevents the escape of any ammonia that may be formed as the earth has the power of fixing and retaining the ammonia.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
MEAT ANIMALS
IN COMBINATIONS


 The keeping of cattle and of swine appear to be almost inseparable op- erations. This fact is being brought out i'll the returns of the Better Sires Better Stock crusade of I.se agri- cultural colleges, the United States Department of Agriculture, and coop eratlng agencies. This general prac- t1ee has long been known, but much more definite information is being gathered, and the purpose is to ex- tend 1t to such an extent as to de- termine the relationships among all meat animals.
 If nearly every man who keeps cat tie also keeps hogs, and if nearly every man who keeps hogs also keeps cattle, the inevitable conclusion is that the combination pays. especially when purebred sires are used But it remains to be determined what are the most common and the best pay ing proportions. The same thing ap- plies also to combinations of cattle and sheep, and swine and sheen. or cattle and sheep and swine. One benefit of the work will be that it will enable the man of small personal experience to avail himself of the wide experience of a great number of men in working out the combinations of meat animals that he will carry on his farm,

The champion of the girls poultry clubs of Missippi keeps nothing butspullets.
 Early matched bullets, if properly grown, ought to begin laying in Oc- tober or early November and con dnue to lay through the winter. Year ting hens seldom begin laying much before January 1. and older hens not until later. It.is the November and De- cornher e~ss that bring the high prices The laying breeds should begin iaying when about from five to six months old. sSeRera1 purpose breeds at six 10 seven months, and the meat breeds a1 eight to nine months.

steer Feedina Show ResuIts

In a steer-feediag experiment con- dueted last year on the government farm at Beltsville, Md. four lots of 9 year-old steers we're fed. The purpose was to compare cottonseed meal and soaked velvet beans when used with and without the addition of shelied corn.
 The addition of corn to ration composed of corn silage cotton seed meal and wheat straw did not pay. The addition of corn to the ration of vel vet beans and corn silage was profit able.
 The lot receiving corn silage and soaked velvet beans with a small quantity of cottonseed meal as an an petizer produced the most economic. al gains and showed the greatest profit even though daily gains and the selIir price of cattle were lower than those of any of the other lots.

.HATcAgD BIRDS
GET THE PRICE

Chick ems can be matched at any time Of the year, but it is the chickens h2tcdled early in the spring that give the best results. One reason is that ii no special effort is made to hatch early on the farms throughout the country the matching season coincldes too closely with the planting season, and matching operations are reduced on that account.
 Early matched chicks, as a rule. are the strongest and most vigorous in the flock because they are produced from eggs laid while the hens are in their best breeding condition. After a long period of laying the hens loose something of their vitality and their capacity to transmit vigor to their off, springs, and so late matched chicks are on the whole decidedly inferior to early ones in vigor and constitution. Because they are thrifty and vigorous the early chicks make quicker and bet ter growth than the late ones. Thrifty chicks get more from a given quan- tity of food than others. Weak and undersized birds aften consume as nuch feed as the larger and better de- Feloped ones but make no spereeptible growth
 The early chicks develop to a stage where they can withstand extreme heat and an attack by the parasites which are more numerous and trou- blesome in hot weather The severe heat is apt to check the growth of condition they easily become a prey to lice and mites When the cold, wet weather comes in the fall they are peculiarly susceptible to it and likely to develop colds, while the wig orcus early chicks find the coolness stimulating
 When eggs do not hatch well early in tn season there is time to find the reason for the poor matching and to cure it before she season is too far ad- Fanced. When the late matching is not successful the crop of poultry is cut short and egg production falls.
 Early matched eoekerels are ready for the market when prices are high est. Early matched bullets mature be- fore cold weather and lay when prices of eggs are highest Late e-hatehed chickens are not mature before cold weather sets in and often will not lay until spring.

WINTER CARE FOR BREEDING
 EWES,

F1oclmasters.s are urged to see that their breeding ewes are receixing the proper Kind of attention at this time in order to procure the most profitable lambs. The ewes should be in good thrifty condition. It is not necessary to feed a. large amount of grain to breed ing ewes which are receiving good, clean mixed clover and timothy hay, clover hay, or alfalfa Where bright corn fodder is available in conjunction with some legumiHous feed very good results can be obtained from feeding what the ewes will clean up nicely m the middle of the day at one feed. Where the breeding flock is a little thin in condition a grain mixture of equal parts of corn oats, and bran by weight, fed at the rate of one-fourth to one-half pound per head daily, will be found most satisfactory and will increase the profits, as the ewes will be better mothers and stronger milkers when the lambs come. =.
 I' IL is not necessary to provide close quarters for the breeding flock. ac- cord1ng to United States Deparment of Agriculture specialists. They should be kept in clean, dry place which is dry ] drafts Plenty of exercise is very i'm portant, and the breeding ewes should be out every clear day. Where forages d4e leu ana W1nler- pastures are not available it will be found beneficial to spread the forage over the ground some distance from the shed, and as the ewes feed back and forth over it they will thus gain plenty of exer- else
 The flock which is in good thrifty condition, properly housed and prop erly fed, and receives adequate exer else, will lamb out much better and will cause the shepherd far less diff ficuIty.

CLEANLINESS IS
 VITAL IN PouLTRY-HoUsE

The poultry house drinking foun- tains and feed troughs must be wash ed every weeH with boiling water or other disinfecTant, and if any lice or mites are found cn the birds or in the house the roosts and adjoining parts of the walls should be painted with a mixture of Rsrosene, one part and crude carbolic acid or crude creosole one cupful. advise specialists of the United States Department of Agricul- tu-e. The house may be whitewashed with freshly slaked lime or sprayer with kerosene emulsion. Tn case of an actual outbreak of virulent disease it is well to add to each gallon of the whitewash six ounces of crude carboiic acid. Good disinfectants destroy the germs of contagious diseases, the ex- ternal parasites. such as lice and mites, and in some cases the eggs of parasitic worms. and should be used frequently in and about the poultry house.
