in the same way. For gray felt, hot
bran is used.

Properly Prepare Fowls
for Holiday Marketing

While November is generally re-
garded as turkey month, there is also
a strong demand for fowls of all kinds
and good prices can be realized for
almost any kind if they are properly
prepared for market.
In this connection it should be re
membered that careful grading Of
poultry pays. All fowls should be as
sorted according to age and condition,
size, color and shanks. Never mix
good and poor stock in shipping to
market, as the poor birds always re-
duce the value of the lot In other
words, uniformity of appearance and
quality must be considered.
Poultry should be fattened quickly
to be tender and juicy. If the fowls
have been kept in good condition dur
ing the summer and fall, two weeks Of
liberal feeding should put them in ex-
cellent condition for marketing. After
they have commenced to fatten give
them all they can eat four or five times
a day.
Turkeys ought not to be confined for
any length of time, but for just a
short time prior to marketing. If fed
literally while they have free run,
they can be put in condition for mar
keting within ten days.
This is the time of year when the
chicken flock should be culled closely.
The undesirable fowls will bring bet
ter prices now than later, and if kept
throughout the winter will only be an
expense and a detriment to the rest Of
the birds.
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1923-11-15
Uniformity in Fowls Is
of Utmost Importance

For those who are breeding standard
fowls it is essential that they look out
for type in the first place, and not al
low their flock to run to the dogs in
this particular, as some we have seen
recently.
What is a Rhode Island Red good
for in the breeding yard if he has a
short Wyandotte of Cochin back on
him? You might just as well put him
In the pot and be done with him, for
he is worth more there than anywhere
else. Then there is the Orpington
standing upon shanks almost like a
game. He is of good color, perhaps,
but that is all you can say about him.
No matter what breed you are at
tempting to breed or handle, your first
duty to that breed and yourself is to
get in line with the best possible type
to be had. If you find that you do not
have that kind, better get rid of them
and get the right kind before you waste
any more valuable time In expert
ments. Study the type that goes to
make good one of your kind, both in
males and females, and get in line.
Get the best color, Of course, that is
consistent with the right type, but get
type at any cost first. Be sure you
know your breed or variety as that
is Of the most Importance. Work in
telligently at all times. and you will be
surprised how well things will go along.

Storing Sweet Potatoes,
Pumpkins and Squash

Pumpkins, squash and sweet pota-
toes should not be stored in the same
way as most other vegetables. They
must be taken in from the field before
freezing weather. A heavy frost or a
quick chill on any Of these crops is
detrimental to their keeping qualities.
Pumpkins and squash may be har-
vested, placed in piles over the field
and covered with hay or other mate
rial. This will keep off the frost AS
soon as cold weather comes they
should be taken into the storage and
kept at an even temperature Of 65 to
20 degrees. Sweet potatoes, to be
we'll kept, must be dried at a temper
allure of rs degrees for three weeks,
after that time the temperature may
be lowered to from SO to 60 degrees.

Dried Whey Fed Laying
Hens on Government Farm

New uses for dried whey are being
revealed by a series Of investigations
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture.
Four pounds of crude sugar and IA
pounds of dried whey containing about
30 per cent of albumin were obtained
from 100 pounds of whey. The dried
whey was sold to a laboratory making
baby food, at a price giving salts
factory return for the whey.
Dried whey and dried buttermilk are
being fed experimentally to laying
hens at one of the department farms.
In the first half Of the twelve-month
experiment the pen of hens receiving
dried whey produced eggs at a rate
comparing favorably with results OBJ
tanned with other kinds Of feeds.

Tough Fowls Cut Prices
and Discourage Sales

Tough chicken is not only a dis
tasteful dish but it discourages the
consumption of both live and dressed
poultry in cities and towns where the
old-fashioned fattening coop has been
removed from the back yard by people
who now depend upon the farmer or
poultry plant owner to feed the birds
and put them in shape for the pot and
pan.
The skinny birds sent to tie market
not only get 'cool reception" when
they are displayed on the table but
the family is not likely to request
chicken again soon. Repeat orders
are just as essential to the poultry
man as they are to other merchants.
In this field the flock owner can do
much to increase his business and
regsnue.

paint is mixed with enough gasoline

paint is mixed with enough gasoline
to dissolve it and the flowers are
dipped into the mixture. The amount
necessary will depend on the size OF
the article dipped If it is large, the
whole tube may be required. The
color of the mixture should be just a
little darker than the desired color of
the flowers when dry. With the use
Of a brush, flowers may be shaded or
tinted two or more colors.
How to Obtain CoIors.
"Colors which may be obtained by
using paint and gasoline are:
Pink Red with gasoline.
"Purple-White blue, and lake with
gasoline.
Light Blue-Prussian blue with
gasoline.
"Gray-Black with gasoline.
"Brown-Red and black with gaso-

"silver Gray-Indigo and lamp black
with gasoline.
Ozark Green-Light green and black
with gasoline.
"orange-Red and yellow with gas

made and are always pretty. Roses
are used a great deal not only on hats
but also on dresses. To make the

Greenhouse Products
in Increasing Demand
Glass Farming Has Become
Important Industry.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Glass farming, or the growing of
flowers and vegetables in green
houses, has become an important in
dustry in the United States, and ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, the industry is
constantly increasing because of the
demand for vegetable and floral prod
ucts Of the quality that can be pro-
duced in the modern greenhouse.
There are now more than 1900 es-
Establishments employing some type of
forcing structure for the production
of plants, flowers, or vegetables, the
glass area covering nearly $500
acres.
High-quality greenhouse products
are finding an increased demand, and
the industry offers special induce
ments to those having a knowledge
of and liking for the work. Sue
cess in this industry will depend
much on the suitability and ade-
quacy of the equipment. The fact
that the quantity of coal used to
maintain an acre of space inclosed in
greenhouses at the required tempera-
lures varies from 25O to 500 tons a
season, indicates the need for the
practice of every possible economy.
According to Farmers. Bulletin No.
1918, Greenhouse Construction and
Heating, just published by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, fuel losses in greenhouse
heating are sustained because of poor
ly constructed houses, faulty heat
ing system, or the lack of repair Of
the house or the heating plant.
This bulletin discusses the construc-
ton and heating of greenhouses, CIV
ing such information as will be useful
to those contemplating engaging in
the business, and may be secured free

Dealers Can Stop Much
of Waste in Egg Supply

How the dealer can help stop the
waste in eggs is pointed out on a
poster recently issued by the extension
service of Colorado Agricultural col
lege, in line with campaign for better
quality. Dealers can help by:
Encouraging production of infertile
eggs by paying more for them.
Packing eggs only in good cases, us
Ing new fats and filters.
Placing excelsior pads on top and
bottom Of each case and not using any
straw.
Keeping eggs in cool, dry place, away
from kerosene and never allowing a
shipment to stand in the sun.
Shipping at least once every other
day, because. holding eggs in temporal
lures above go degrees causes rapid
deterioration.

Keeping Apple Cider Sweet.

Dissemination will keep apple cider
sweet for an indefinite time. The
process is very simple. Sterilize glass
top jars or bottles by boiling for 10
minutes. Fill them with freshly made
cider and seal. Then place them in a
wash boiler on a wooden rack to keep
them from touching the bottom. Cover
the jars with cold water and heat
slowly to 157 degrees F. Keep pint
bottles at this temperature for 10
minutes, quart bottles 20 minutes, and
half-gallon bottles % minutes. Allow
them to cool in the water bath and
then store them in a cool, dark place.

Control Fall Army Worm
by Using Poisoned Bait

Garden and field crops, grasses and
alfalfa are all prone to injury by the
fall army worm. The pest may be
controlled by using poison bait made
by mixing an ounce of white arse
nate with a pound of bran moistened
with a pint and one-half of water to
which have been added three ounces
of moIasses and the juice aud chopped
Kinds of one-half dozen lemons.

Profitable Stock Gains
Made by Using Protein

Economical gains on cattle require
a certain amount of protein. If
clover or alfalfa hay is used as the
entire roughage, additional protein
need not be fed unless one ton of such
protein rich feed as cottonseed meal
or linseed meal, costs less than the
value of three tons of alfalfa or clover.
If alfalfa or clover is available, or is
available as only part of the rough
age ration, more economical gains can
be made by using a limited amount
of cottonseed meal.

agonally and gather around the two
straight edges. Pull up to make petal
and fasten on small piece of buck
ram or silk. The size and number Of
petals depends on the size that you
wish to have your finished rose. For
double rose a row Of smaller petals
can be placed just inside the outer
circle of petals and then the center
is inserted. Centers may be made by
folding a straight piece Of ribbon
about pa inches long and inches
depending on the rose you are
making lengthwise through the CEN
ter. Then gathering all edges except
the folded one, pull up tightly. Sta
mems removed from old flowers also
make attractive centers.
Feathers are probably the most
popular trimming for winter hats this
year. Old feathers may be made to
look like new for a very few cents and
a bit Of effort. To clean the feather
make a thin paste of two tablespoon
fula of flour to one pint of gasoline.
Rub the mixture into the feather by
rubbing toward the tip. Then shake
the feather in the air until the gaso-
line has evaporated. Feathers can be
tinted in the same manner as flowers.
Ostrich feathers are usually curled
although they may be used straight.
After cleaning it viii be necessary to
re-curl by beginning at the base of
the feather with the right side to-
ward you. Hold the flues at the stem
of the feather with the thumb and
forefnger and draw the ends toward
you over the edge of blunt knife or
nail file."

Right Foundation Stock
for Production of Eggs

If your foundation stock is from an
egg strain of proven worth, then the
care of hens becomes. a simple matter
of providing well-ventiIated, dry quar-
tiers, proper feed and sanitation. Your
reward will be an abundance of eggs.
The best of care and attention will
avail little, however, in promoting
egg production in flock which ma
ture has limited IN egg yield. Better
to discard birds of the latter type
than to go on from season to season
in an endeavor to develop them to a
basis where they will pay their keep.

Get Maximum Production
of Eggs During Winter

If you are planning to add more
pullets to your laying pens get them
as soon as possible, in order to get the
maximum production of eggs this WIN
ter. Just as cows milk production
is decreased by moving her from one
place to another, disturbing her rou-
tine, laying is delayed where pullets
are disturbed by moving them from
one farm to another or from their
-egular quarters. Disturbing pullets
llso retards growth.

Little to Employ Labor
Unless Live Stock Kept

After the heavy fall work on crops
Is completed there is little to profit
ably employ the labor on farm I'M
Tess live stock is kept. Cows, hogs
and chickens use time that would not
be otherwise occupied in the winter,
and consume feeds that could not be
marketed otherwise. Returns for this
feed and labor Increase the net profit

Live Stock and Fertile
Soils Work in Harmony

One of the bright spots in utilizing
live stock to consume the home
grown feeds is the fact that those
who do feed on the farm have fertile
soils while those who sell the feed
have poor soils. The selling practice,
unfortunately, causes the soil to get
poorer and poorer each year.

namely, that the farmers of Wisconsin
produced their own raw material from
which to turn out their finished pro.
duct-hogs and beef and dairy pro-
ducts. To be sure, this could not uni
versally be done, for it would result In
as great a surplus in those products
as there now is in corn"

Feeding More Roughage
Than Animals Consume

Some make a practice of feeding
more roughage than the animals will
consume and using what is refused
for bedding. This is an extravagant
and wasteful practice where good,
clean hay is fed. The most success
full feeders feed just what roughage
the animals will clean up and use for
bedding only that roughage which is
too inferior to be consumed by the
animals.
