Get Maximum Number Of
Eggs in Winter Months

To get the maximum number of eggs
during the cold months there are sew
eral important things to be considered.
Generally speaking, these resolve
themselves into four principal points.
They are good hens, comfortable hous-
ing, proper feed in plenty. and con-
stant care. The quantity Of eggs de-
pends to considerable extent upon
the kind Of fowls kept. Begin right by
raising pullets from pure bred, healthy.
egg-laying stock, for 1t does not cost
any more to raise and keep pure
breeds than just any old kind. OF
course they cost little more in the
beginning, but the increase In future
profits will more than balance this.

Indiana Roads Are Not
Intended for Speeding

Indiana state roads are constructed
and maintained to expedite overland
travel twelve months In the year. but
their smoothness of surface does not
necessarily mean they should be con-
verted into speedways despite the In
vitation they present, declares John
d. Williams, director Of the state high
way commission.
Indiana state roads will go into the
winter in excellent condition to with
stand the rigors Of thaws and freezes,
highway officials say. During the sum-
mer and fall many Of the secondary
roads were "regraveled" and "re-
stoned" Traffic in the past few
months caused them to bind hard and
firm. Drainage has been an impor-
tant item In maintenance work also,
and experience has shown that nom
rigid type roads properly and quickly
drained better Withstand the severe
traffic demand Of the times.

Scours in Young Calves
Caused by Indigestion

Ordinary scours in young calves
is caused by indigestion. Either
your calf has been getting too much
milk or the milk is too rich In fat.
The best treatment for scours in young
calves is to reduce the feed. DO not
let the calf have all the milk It win
drink, and let 1t drink several times
day. Give the calf about two ounces
Of castor oil to clean the bowels.

There is usually some difficulty in
making sure Of the sex Of ganders and
geese. The gander has a shorter and
thicker neck than the goose. The bag
between his legs is single. while that
of the goose is double. The gander's
voice Is clear, thin, silvery; the goose

Pasture Feeding
Found Superior.
Brief Summary Given Of
Tests Carried at Illinois
Experiment Station.

The old-fashioned permanent blue
grass pasture. which has been consid-
cred out Of date by mary corn-belt
farmers in recent years. came back
Into its own In steer-feeding expert
ment carried on at the Illinois expert
ment station during the past summer,
under the management of Prof. r. r.
Snapp of the animal husbandry de-
partment Of the university. In this
test four lots of threeyear-old steers
were fed full ration of shelled corn
along with blue grass pasture. sweet
clover pasture, alfalfa hay and corn
silage respectively. The cattle fed
corn silage received approximately 2.5
pounds Of cottonseed meal as sup
plement, but no supplement Of any
kind was used In the other lots.
Feed Bills Higher.
Although the cattle fed In the dry
lots gained more rapidly than did
those on pasture, their feed bills also
were considerably higher, so that pas
ture was superior from a financial
standpoint. Due consideration must
also be given to the facts that more
pork was produced In connection with
pasture feeding. that considerable less
labor was spent In caring for the cat
tie, and that all of the manure pro-
duced was scattered on the land with
no appreciable loss Of fertility and
with no expenditure Of labor.
Due to the recent market declines
In fat cattle values all four lots Of
cattle failed to show a profit. How
ever, the loss suffered was much less
with the blue grass lot than with any
Of the other three.
Proved Disappointing.
Sweet clover pasture proved to be
somewhat Of disappointment to its
many admirers. While the cattle
made very satisfactory gains from
sweet clover during late June and
July. 1t proved to be too "washy" dur
ing the early summer and too coarse
and woody after the middle Of August
On the whole, however, 1t proved
more profitable summer roughage than
either alfalfa hay or corn silage fed in
q dry lot.

Heating Poultry Houses
During Winter Weather

Opinions differ In regard to the adj
visibility Of heating poultry houses In
winter time. Al rule there is no OBJ
lection to artificial heat Of about %
degrees f., while furthermore this
would facilitate the ventilation Of the
space. However, unless the tempera.
ture be quite regular. heating should
be omitted, az few factors are more
dangerous than fuctuating tempera-

Female Geese Are Good
Until Ten Years of Age

Female geese are usually kept until
they are from eight to ten years old,
or as long as they will lay well. but the
ganders are seldom kept after they are
six or seven years old. Wild ganders
are kept as long as they viii breed.
and sometimes yearling ganders are
used for breeding stock but II is the
