Early Head Covering

The earliest form Of hat known, ac-
cording to some historians, was the
circular, close-fitting cap, worn either
plain or braided. Ancient pictures
show that It was worn by capdves
from Palestine in Assyria, and it ap.
peared also on the heads of the pic
tured deities and sculptored delties
among the heather tribes.
The Greeks in early times wore two
kinds Of hat, the "plleus" and the
'petasus.' The former had no brim,
while the latter was made OF felt and
had a wide brim to protect the wearer
from the sun. 1t is believed that the
present-day felt hat is its direct de-
scendant.-New York Times.

Milk Powder Remedy for
Little Chick Diseases

Milk powder is the remedy for the
disease of coecidiosis, which for years
has taken its annual toll of baby
chicks, according to the results Of ex-
perimental work conducted at the Cal
ifornia agricultural experiment sta
ton. The results of the investigation
recommend the feeding or ration to
baby chicks which contains 40 per cent
of dry skim milk. The investigators
say: '"The fact that feeding chickens
mash containing 40 per cent dry skim
milk not only protected them against
coccidial infection but also stimulated
rapid growth, indicates that this would
be valuable practice in the proven
ton and control of outbreaks of the
disease on poultry farms"
Two pens of chicks fed In the ex-
pertinent were inoculated with the
germ Of coccidiosis. OF those which
did not get dry milk in their mash 23.S
per cent died OF those which did
get dry milk only 23 per cent died.
1t was found that chicks fed DOW
dered dry milk produced 25 per cent
faster growth than those which were
not so fed.

POULTRY HOUSE
QUITE IMPORTANT

Chickens raised on grandfather's
the binder reel because these places
were accessible, convenient and mel
Their crowded nor stuffy, it is pointed
out by w. A. Foster of the farm me-
chanics department, college Of agri-
culture, University of Illinois. This
choice of biddy's should be valuable
guide to the modern poultryman who
Is planning to build a new chicken
house or remodel the old one, Foster
says.
Suitable housing is just as impor-
tant as the care of the flock because
1t provides for the comfort of the
birds at all seasons. Furthermore, 1t
is convenient for the attendant. In
addition, to be effective and efficient,
the house should be simple In con-
struction in order to keep the cost and
upkeep low. A neat, attractive house
adds to the appearance of the build
ing group and value of the farm.
1.-THE comfort of the birds is secured
through freedom from dampness and
drafts and provisions for ample floor
space In feeding and roost space for
night. An abundant supply of fresh
air and sunlight promotes the health,
vigor and comfort of the birds.
"A dry house requires a dry floor
placed on a porous, well-drained site,
a lead-proof roof, tight walls and
close-fitted doors and windows. Proper
ventilation supplies fresh air to the
birds, removes the moisture from the
breathed air and litter and minimizes
drafts, which are disastrous to the
flock when the birds are inactive on
the roosts at night This ventilation
may be provided In several ways. The
apple-tree roosts of generation ago
were well ventilated. The open ma
chine shelter where the range fiocks
like to roost is also well ventilated
Biddy's choice, then, may require
little thought on our part. Why did
she choose perch on the harvester's
reel? 1t was accessible, convenient
and neither crowded nor stuffy as
many roosts in the modern hen house.
"Open-frOnt houses provide venti-
lation and sunlight, but must be used
with common sense to avoid undesir-
able drafts. A southern exposure is
desirable. Modern ventilation equip
ment has advanced many steps in re-
cent years. 1t is not yet fool-proof,
but will require further study and
intelligent handling.
"a poultry house of simple construc-
ton is not only desirable but neces-
sary to the success of the venture
Simple construction enables the at
tendant to build houses and install
equipment which would be prohibitive

try house surrounded by healthy,

Fixing Value of Clover
and Alfalfa for Steers

There have been some feeding
trials with beef steers to determine
the value of clover as compared to
alfalfa. When steers were fed In
Indiana on silage, corn, and cotton
seed meal, clover hay was found to
be fully equal to alfalfa hay, ton for
ton. Doubtless these results may
have been affected more or less by the
fact that enough protein-rich concen-
trates were fed to balance the ration
even though no legumes had been
fed. This probably resulted in the
loss of the advantage of alfalfa hay
in its richer protein content. How
ever, when fed In rations which are
low in protein, alfalfa has been found
to be worth more per ton than clover
hay of equal quality.

PREVENT DISEASES
OF PREGNANT EWES

In late winter and early spring, I'M
less special precautions are taken, a
form Of self-poisoning or autointoxi-
cation among pregnant ewes is liable
to occur and prove fatal. This dis
ease has for years puzzled all students
of the subject but method Of pre-
vention has been devised. The symp-
toms shown by affected ewes are
these: The animal lags, lies down a
great deal, loses appetite, grits its
teeth, staggers, may toss its head
backward, is constipated and soon
goes down. 1t is unable to rise and
soon dies.
When opened after death, the gall
bladder is usually found greatly dis.
tended, and the liver is pale in color
and so friable and easily broken that
1t Is termed rotten" by the shepherd.
Often there seems to be but little
blood In the body. It may be added
that sometimes the tissues of the
body are stained yellowish color, In
dicating jaundice.
Almost invariably the train of con-
ditions and circumstances leading up
to the attack are close confinement
and lack Of exercise, and prolonged,
excessive feeding of coarse, dry, bulky
constipating roughage, especially tim
othy hay, weathered corn slower and
straw or withered, frozen grass. The
ewes may also have been fed corn and
sometimes are fat and often sluggish.
There can be little question, I think.
that resorption of poisons, generated
In the digestive tract, is the direct
cause Of the ailment, the liver having
been overtaxed and made unable per-
fectly to perform its functions, one Of
which Is the elimination or destruction
Of the poisons mentioned.
No medicinal remedy has been
found, but the disease may be pre-
vented by making pregnant ewes take
active exercise daily, keeping their
bowels and kidneys active and avoid
ing the weakening effects of close
housing In a hot, dirty, badly-venti-
lated stable. To that end make the
ewes walk several miles daily to get
clover or alfalfa hay scattered over
distant field, feed each eve two
pounds of roots daily, avoid feeding
the constipating roughages mentioned,
feed oats and bran to weak ewes and,
for all sheep, provide airy, sanitary
stables.-A. S. A. of Wisconsin in Sue

rant, as all the world well knows, for
holding spring the season when "the
young mans fancy lightly turns to

tieth Century:
Methinks no leaf would ever bud in

But for the lovers lips that kiss, the
poets lips that sing.
From this 1t appears that spring Is
season of song. no less than of lovers
kisses. And so 1t is. Moreover. civil

sponsible. Yes; many literary crime

Dangerous to Let Hogs
Sleep in Straw Stacks

The practice that some farmers fol-
low of permitting their hogs to find
shelter in straw stacks during cold
weather is a very dangerous one for
the reason that on cold nights hogs
are inclined to burrow deep into these
stacks, or perhaps to pile up closely
together-and then when morning
comes and when they crawl out Of
their nests they are frequently so
warm from perspiration that they
steam as they walk out into the cold
air. Such condition can very easily
produce pneumonia and Is therefore a
very risky policy. The wiser course
Is to provide sheds of one kind or an
other that are dry under foot and so
well ventilated that the animals can
not become excessively warm.
