PORTABLE HOUSES ARE BEST
Make 1t Possible to Keep Young Grow
ing Fowls on Fresh, uncon.

On "A recent visit To II large prac-
teal poultry farm, 1t IA observed
that good use "A being made Of a
number of portable poultry houses.
These were OF good size and we're on
runners made of heavy joists. The
runners were braced against each
other, So that Il horse could be hltched
to the front and the house hauled any
where. This made II possible to keep
the young growing birds on fresh, I'M
contaminated sod. which was always
sending up a good lot of fresh grass.
When the movable houses were
pulled away from each place where
they had been for a few weeks. the
rains soon washed the droppings into
the soil. This nourished the grass
and improved the land. In no case
was the sod eaten down till the
ground was bare.
For small chicks the same plant
used small coops on two wheels that
could easily be pushed from place
to place by hand. In this way they
never were troubled with gapes or
contaminated soil.

BABY BEEF MOST PROFITABLE
Thar Older Ones-Can Be More
Economically Fattened.

The phrase baby beef has been in
existence for many years. At first 1t
was TO some extent a term of re-
proach, but any stigma attached to it
has worn off, and 1t Is now part and
parcel of modern farming.
Baby beef Is early maturity In con-
centrated form. An animal that loses
It's calf flesh may yet b~e-fnished at a
fairly early age, but 1t will never
make baby beef. The latter, in addition
to early maturity, must combine quail
ity. finish and thickness of flesh.
There are many cattle that cannot be
fattened early; breeding will play Its
part IL this as in other things.
Experiments carefully planned and
carried out have demonstrated that
young animals will give a greater re-
turn In beef for food, and can, there
fore, be more economically fattened
than older ones.
The advantage La from % to 80
per cent In favor of the younger anil
NAL. This Is quite sufficient margin
to induce many who have not yet es-
sayed baby beef to try It. II has IN
other advantage In being ready for
