Feed Chicks Tankage

A number of farmers who have
high grade tankage on hand wonder
If it would not be a good plan to
feed chicks some tankage. 1t has
been found that rich tankage Is just
as good as meatscraps but 1t does
not contain bone. When feeding
tankage, 1t is good plan to add
five percent bonemeal.
If the chicks get some scratch
grain, about 20 percent Of the weight
of the whole mixture should be fed.
That is four parts Of grain mixture
and one part of tankage, by weight.
First sift tankage thru a coarse
sieve, then add bone-meal at the
rate of one part of bonemeal to
three parts of tankage; finally add
20 percent Of this mixture to the
grain mixture. Common salt should
also be added at the rate Of one
pound to every hundred pounds Of
the mixture.
1t was also found that the per-
centage of tankage for baby chicks
should be somewhat less than for
those who are out on the range.
Addition Of little ground charcoal
ITO the mixture has a good effect.

Sprout Oats!

This needs repeating for emphasis
also. There is nothing better for
green feed for hens that are laying,
or for fowls in any form of service.
Sprouted oats are A-No.-1 stuff as
chicken feed in winter. They get the
birds to feeling that May is surely at
hand. They will devour them with
wonderful earnestness any time of
day or night. 1t will be better not to
let the oats grow too much. An inch
to two inches in length will be all
sufficient. OF course they will eat
them if they have grown to four or
five inches in length; but this will not
be best for them. Oats thus sprouted
to an inch or two in length will be
doubled in value over the dry oats.
1t may not be so much the superior
food value that is increased, but the
wholesome influence on the digestion
will be Of great use. 4 hen is a graz
ing animal as we'll as an animal of
flight She needs bulk in her food
not quite in the same degree as a
COW or sheep but nearly. You can't
find a better substitute for the green
grass of May and June in November
or in January than freshly sprouted
oats. Blessed be the man who dis
covered them. We should build him
a monument. Better than that, do as
he did

Feed Cod Liver Oil
With Winter Mash

Enough experiments have been car
ried on in feeding cod liver oil to
poultry that specialists can positively
say it is beneficial when the flock
does not have access to direct sun
light.
"The greatest benefit is derived
from winter feeding" G. S. Vickers,
poultry specialist at the Ohio State
University observes. 1T is known
that the oil increases production dur
ing the winter months. 1t improves
the shell and decreases the mortality.
There is some evidence that the
hatchability of the eggs is increa sed
by feeding cod liver oil.
Its greatest value lies in aiding
mineral assimilation. 1t probably al
so contains vitamins which are pres
ent in green feed. A laying hen fed
cod liver oil is not likely to go down
on her legs in the spring due to
faulty nutrition.
when there is difficulty in obtain
ing green food, feed about one quart
to each 100 pounds of mash. On
farms that keep 200 or more hens it
is economical to buy the oil in bar
rel lots. 1t is somewhat cheaper this
way"

N. HI. Farmers Cannot
Fill States Demand

Durham, n. H., NOV. l9-(R)-lt
time to talk turkey. Next Thurs
day will be Thanksgiving Day and
the University Of New Hampshire
experiment station has made peril
nent contribution to the material fol
before dinner discussion. The es-
sence of it is this: New Hampshire
farmers raise only five percent OF
the turkeys consumed in the Granite
state.
In a recent economic survey the
station undertook to find out how
of the state was provided by its
farmers. 1t was discovered that
turkey stood low in the list.
There was a time when New
Hampshire farmers came pretty near
to meeting the home demand for the
big bird. Many now deserted or
chard on an abandoned farm was
once a roaming place for gobblers
They waxed fat on home grown grain
and native forest nuts. Then things
began to happen
at is believed" said the expert
meeting the demand now because
years ago heavy losses were incurred
by disease. Since that time the
chicken business has seemed to pay
better. The growers have felt in
clined TO put their entire time on
raising chickens"
This cautious word of encourage
ment to renewed effort in the turkey
line is added:
THE fact that there is a demand
for over a quarter of a million
pounds of turkey in the state is be-
lieved to be worth some considera-
ton"
The Vermont turkey tradition still
has its influence in New Hampshire
Sullivan and Cheshire counties and
part Of Grafton county, just across
the Connecticut river from Vermont,
raise more turkeys than any other
part of the state. The production
tapers off in the central counties and
is negligible in the northern and
eastern sections.
In the year covered by the survey
New Hampshire consumed 269, 534
pounds of turkey. OF this total the
home production accounted for only
1887 pounds, of which Sullivan,
Cheshire and southern Grafton coun-
ties supplied S040 pounds. In the
markets OF Manchester. the largest
city, only 500 pounds of the turkey
supply came from New Hampshire
farmers and 31,720 pounds from
other sources

Christmas Greens

There are some farmers VINO are
overlooking a chance to make nice
sum of money out of Christmas
greens-trees, wreaths, branches, ETC.
Then, on the other hand, there are
some who are making themselves
poor because of the way they are
selling greenery from their Farms
without any regard for the future:
In cutting the material for wreaths.
cut the inferior plants. These are
lust as good as perfect plants, SO
long as they have good leaves. An
inferior Christmas tree is hard to
sell. Do not cut all your trees and
plants the first year or two. Cut only
as many as you can spare and keep
the source of income alive. In the
case of Christmas trees, plant as
many as you cut each year.
The plants that can be used for
wreaths are holly, laurel, mistletoe,
ground pine, branches from the conf
fers-anything that retains its green
ness for a couple of weeks indoors.
The best market for these is In the
cities. The wreaths can be made
at home and sold in the city, or the
materials can be sold to firms that
deal in this class of goods. If farm
err wanted to go into the business Of
Selling CuTlSlIldS SISSllS Ou d ldlllS
large scale, he could arrange for his
supply of greens, then put an ad. in
the Sunday paper giving prices of
| wreaths, trees. etc. Or, if he has list
Of city residents and their addresses
he could send out neatly written
letter. The letter doesn't need to be
long or f1owery-just a plain state
ment of facts about price and de-
delivery
Some folks load up with wreaths
and go right into the city, then sell
from house to house. A license may
be required for selling in this way in
some towns and cities. In that case,
orders can be taken and deliveries
made at a later trip. Some folks sell
on street corners, which is o. K, in
most cases.
If you have any of the plants
named, or others suitable for Christ
mas decorations. and want to make
little Christmas spending money,
see what you can do.-The Farm
