Killing Birds.

Highland Press: Complaints are
being made of boys killing birds with
air rifles. No distinction is made be-
tween tn varieties and an oriole or
robin is as liable to lose it's life as a
sparrow if it gets within range of
these weapons. Several youngsters
have frequently been reprimanded,
but pay no heed to what is said to
them. The law law deals severely
with the obstruction of harmless
birds. Beware!

HELP DEVELOPMENT OF CALF
To Keep Them Growing Rapidly Fur
nish Plenty Of Good Hay-lt
Aids Digestive System.

The important thing is to keep the
calves growing as rapidly as possible
and to see that they are provided with
plenty of good hay. This, more than
any other one feed, will help develop
the calf's digestive system and should,
therefore, never be overlooked.
Even if the calf is on pasture it should
be given a chance to eat what hay
it will consume.

LOCATION FOR SMALL FRUITS
Favored Because Buds Don't
Start Early In Spring.

There is a general opinion that all
varieties of small fruit, such as peach
es, pears, plums, cherries, ETC., will
thrive better when set out on land
that has a north or northeastern ex-
posure. The reason for this being so
Is that the buds will not start as early
In the spring and get caught by the
first frost after warm weather comes
for q few days.

Appear.
fort to use good selling methods. On
each box Of berries we stamped our
name and address, so people would
know where the fruit came from. This
one little point greatly increased the
interest of our customers, which in
turn increased our sales.
In our experience these have been
the only berries from which we have
obtained fruit the first season. For
US they have borne from July until
November Their productiveness may
be attributed to care as well as va
riety. We gave them good care after
the first year, employing the best
methods we knew.
In selecting variety of plant, get
one Of proven value. 1t may be that
you will have to content yourself with
a smaller number at first. but in the
long run it Is the only really good way
to get a start Do not try to get
cheap plants, or something for moth
ing.
After you receive your plants get
them into the ground as soon as pos
sible. See that the ground is well
prepared and in good garden filth. II
the ground is not ready, or If it is
too early to plant, open the punches
and heel In the plants.

A silo is an insurance. Very often
the season is so late that the corn

POULTRY FEED
Values of Grains,

Of all grain feeds usually supplied
to farm poultry, corn has been, and
stlil is, the most popular. This
probably is due to it's abundance and
relative cheapness, and because it is
the most relished of all the grains.
Corn is heating and fattening. and
when fed to fowls as the only feed.
fat rather than eggs is the usual re-
suit. 1t should be balanced with
meat, bone. bran. and such feeds as
are rich in heterogeneous matter. i'm
which corn is deficient. Whey corn
is fed to laying hens that have oppor-
tunity to take plenty of exercise and
to obtain insects and green feed, more
satisfactory results are likely to be
obtained. 1t may be fed more freely
during the winter than during the
summer say poultry specialists of
United States Department of Agri-
culture. 4
Wheat is generally regarded as the
safest grain to be fed alone. If is
not quite SO fattening as corn, but is
TOO fattening when fed alone. Wheat
should be supplemented by the same
feeds as advised to use with corn to
increase the proportion of protein
wheat contains a little more protein
IMAM corn, about the same amount of
Carbohydrates, but less fat and on
the whole is considered not so yalu-
able for fattening. but slightly better
for growth. Good grades of wheat
are relatively too high in price to be
USED freely In feeds at the present
time. Wheat screenings of good
grade can frequently be purchased
ana fed to advantage. OF course
there is always danger of INTRODUCING
weed seed on the farm. "Rnrnt
wheat seldom can be fed ADVANTAGE
ously, the difference in price between
this and good wheat being usually foo
slight to warrant its use.
oats, while not as good as corn mr.
wheat, are necessary for variety
They contain more indieestibIe fiber
than the other grains. HulIed cots
are reiished by poultry and are ex-
ceiient for producing eggs, but are
usually too expensive. When they
can be obtained at reasonable
price in comparison with other grains
they may be fed quite freely.
barley does not seem to be relisbed
ny hens. but may be used to give
variety to the grain ration. II has.
little more protein than corn and .
little less than oats.
Buckwheat is quite well liked nv
fowls. but is not widely fed. II NAV
De used to vary the ration, but is
usually too high in price to he
economical. B1ckwheat .fniddlings
are rich in protein and make a eood
mixture with cornmeaI.
Rye is not fed largely, and does no,
seem to be much relished by pon,try
II Is supposed to cause bowel trouble
when fed freely.
Green feeds should be supplied to
mems confined in small yards, and
