Green Feeds and Water
Essential for All Hens

It is absolutely essential that lay
ers be furnished green feed of some
kind. The question Of how to supply
this green feed must be decided by
the individual. For maximum egg pro-
duction the bird must have access to
fresh clean water at all times, which
should neither be too hot nor too cold.
One hundred hens in good laying con-
dition should consume from IL to "a
quarts of water daily, and in extreme
~ hot weather even more.
When properly fed, milk makes an
excellent feed for laying hens. Skim
milk orr buttermilk are economical
feeds and when available should be
used instead of the higher-priced pro-
TEN feeds such as meat scraps.
SKINNED milk not only contains the
valuable food nutrients, but it is in
the form that is easily digested. Sour
milk is preferable to sweet milk, since
sweet milk when fed may not all be
consumed before it sours, thus caus-
ing the fowl to have sweet food at
one time, and then sour Immediately
following, which is not advisable.
Furthermore, sour milk contains an
acid that is said to be a benefit in
controlling bowel troubles.
Grit in some form is very essential
to the health of flock and also means
economy in feeding. 1t is also to be
remembered that shells are just as i'm
portant as any other part of the egg.
A large amount of lime is used in
building these shells. Unless some
form of lime is supplied, hens laying
heavily will not secure a sufficient
amount to manufacture the shells.

Age Of Fowl Determined
bv Manv characteristics

The age of fowl can generally be
told by the size Of the spurs, but this
rule does not always hold good. To
some extent the texture Of the leg is
a guide to age, and SO are the deli
cacy and freshness Of the skin of the
face and comb. The skin Of the body
is better test, as it becomes coarser
and dry-looking with age. Formerly
the wing-feathers were considered an
absolute test between a pullet and a
hen, even after the long practice Of
early breeding had made the melting
Of early pullets quite common. An
Australian authority says that pull
let will show rose-colored veins on
the surface of the skin, under the
wings. There will also be long, silky
hairs growing there. After year old
these hairs and the veins disappear,
and the skin grows white and vein
less 1t is more difficult to judge the
age of water fowls than Of other
poultry.

Cutworms Destroyed by
Poisoning With Mixture

Cutworms in gardens can be de-
stroyed by poisoning them with poi
soned bran mash. This material is
prepared in small quantities for garden
use by thoroughly mixing one ounce
of paris green or white arsenic with
one pound of bran. To this is added
three ounces Of syrup, one and one-half
orange which is chopped up into small
bits. AS soon as the cutworms ap-
pear, sow or scatter this poison bran
mash thinly along the rows or around
the plants to be protected. Since cut
worms generally feed at night, the best
results will be had by putting this ma
terial out in the evening.

Soy Beans Superior

Combination With Corn.

High-yielding soy beans of such seed
varieties as Manchu have an assured
place in fall finishing of fatteDing pigs,

practice, particularly In hogging down
corn, would support this view.
Soy beans make strong combination
with corn for hogging down if min
eraI mixture, such as wood ashes Cor
limestone), acid phosphate Cor bone
meaD and salt, is used. In the Iowa
tests the pigs, weighing about 100
pounds at the start, averaged In gain
1.45 pounds daily till they went to
market, when fed corn, tankage and
minerals Gall self-fed) on pasture of
Manchu soy beans; and they ate only
345 pounds for each 100 pounds gain
in weight. The mineral mixture was
made from 40 pounds spent bone black,
40 pounds limestone and 20 pounds
salt.
Soy beans for forage did not prove
as efficient as rape for pigs in these
Iowa tests. Soy bean hay varieties
made poor economical showing. Soy
beans do not have as long growing
season, are not as palatable and are
more easily killed by frost as COM
pared with clover alfalfa or Dwarf Es-
sex rape. These last-named forages
fit in best for spring and midsummer
hog pasture, while a good seed va
riety of soy beans fills the need for
fall finishing, balancing up the corn
economically when minerals are fed in
addition.

Bees Quite Valuable to
Many Growers of Fruit

Commercial beekeepers of today
move their bees many times each year
to keep them busy making honey after
the honey flow slows down in one To-
cation. To move colony of bees
care must be taken to give them plenty
of air, as the Earring and excitement
cause them to create great amount
of heat. This excess heat will melt
the combs and honey. BY removing
the lid of the beehive and mailing
screen on top of the hive in place OF
the lid the bee man will give this
heat a chance to escape. The bees
should be moved on cool night If pos
sible.
In some fruit districts the fruit
growers pay the beekeepers 80 cents
colony and move them besides to
their orchards, to pollinate the fruit
bloom. There are many fruit and ber-
ry yields that would be raised at a
loss if it were not for the bees pol
Iinating the flowers.

For Success With Bees
Furnish Plenty of Room

In order to be successful with bees,
swarms must be kept down, and pow
erful, vigorous colonies built up. One
Of the secrets of swarm control is to
give the big colonies an additional hive
so there will be plenty of room and
the queen can keep on laying eggs
and not have to loaf until some of
the eggs hatch to make room for more.
Bees are Industrious. AS long as they
have work to do and things to work
with they are satisfied, but just as
soon as the hive is full and they are
forced to loaf they become restless
and are no longer contented and trou-
BILE starts.

One part Of ground limestone, one part

Good rations for brood sows worked

ground oats; 100 pounds Of wheat bran;
30 pounds Of oil meal or fish meal or

Profitable PIG Gains

Pigs full fed on pasture will make
more profitable gains when fed tank
age in addition to the grain ration.
The older the pig the less tankage 1t
needs per 100 pounds Of live weight.
One-fourth of pound Of tankage per
head per day will do the job for hogs
of different ages. Skim milk, butter
milk linseed-oil meal or soy-bean meal
could be substituted for tankage, but
1t should be remembered that one
pound of tankage Is equal to two
pounds Of linseed-oil meal or soy-bean
meal and to two gallons Of skim milk
or buttermilk.

Corn Gluten in Ration

Corn gluten feed makes an excellent
addition to the ration, and may be
procured through almost any feed

pounds of meat scrap, 6 pounds of
charcoal, 6 pounds of salt.

Now Pastures Regularly
to Prevent Weed Growth

The pasture should be moved regu-
larly to prevent any weeds from going
to seed. If pasture is moved regu-
larly for two seasons, the majority
Of weeds will be eraGicated.
Moving will not only prevent many
weeds from going to seed, but it will
reduce the low shade in the pasture
and thus give the native grasses and
Iegumes plenty Of sunlight and a
chance to grow, says S. L. Jeffords,
forage crops specialist at Clemson col
lege, who insists that one moving
will not do and that to get thicker
and better stands of the desirable
grasses and legumes the moving must
be regular.

NEW STANDARDS SET
FOR BADGER SEEDS

Badger "blueblood" seeds have new
titles of nobility.
Seed OF pure strains and tested for
adaptation to Wisconsin have long
been grown and sold by the members
of the Wisconsin Experiment associa-
ton. They have now established new
grades for this high quality product.

or registered seed and has met GER
tain standards of purity and vigor

wanting to produce seed for sale.
Certified seed" is next in rank.
This grade is from good pure strains,
field and bin inspected, but not meet
ing quite the rigid requirements for
registered. The association recon-
mends this grade for general crop
purposes.
The old classes. field inspected"
and inspected" will be retained for
any seed which has been field or bin
inspected, but failed to get by the
inspections as required for certified
seed. It must meet the same stand
ards so far as inspected as certified
seed.
Alfalfa is a new member Of the
family of Wisconsin grown seed.
Grimm and Cossack are the approved
varieties and the same classes have
been established for it as for other
seed. AS producer of highest
quality seeds handled in the best ap-
proved way, Wisconsin is adding to
her already enviable reputation.

Six ROSTERS with each 100 hens

Ground where last years chicks

The Orpington is an English gen.

at the Minnesota college farm, saves
himself work in cleaning dropping
boards by keeping them covered with
q layer of fine sand. He says it keeps
the boards more sanitary, too.
Feeding the chicks too soon causes
diarrhea. The egg yolk enters the
chicks body shortly before the chick
matches. The chick should have time
to use up this yolk before it is given
any other feed.
