The idea in using artificial lights
in tine poultry mouse is to incl ease
the amount of feed the chickens
eat and so increase the NUMBER of
eggs produced. Where artificial
lights are used judiciously, layers
can be kept in better physical con-
lition than when lights are not
used. Egg production is increased
at the time of the year when the
price is high. .....-

Although there is no proof that
hitter milk from cows far advanc-
ed in lactation is harmful when
consumed by human beings, when
Q COW is so far advanced in lacta-
ton as to give off-favored milk,
it is much better to dry her off
and give her a rest before the next
tactation period. From the stand
point of palatabiIity, one would
hardly care to drink milk with an
unpleasant favor if other milk was
available.

Agricultural Notes

Laying hens should be fed a ra-
ton of scratch, mashes, maat feed,
green feed, mineral feed, grit, and
drink. The scratch mixture should
always be supplemented with a
mash. A good scratch mixture
can be made of 2 parts by weight
Of corn, one of wheat and one of

Timber is an agricultural crop
grown from the soil, say forest
ers of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture. Timber growing is
usually not a major project on the
farm but timber products often
bring in substantial part of the
income. Timber is a farm savings
bank to be drawn upon in times ot
extra need. Thrifty growing limb
er rightly protected and cut often
yields more profit than money al
per cent interest.
An important source of bacteria
In milk is the body of the cow, es-
pecially the part Immediately
above the milk pail. Manure,
loose hairs, bedding material, and
other foreign matter laden with
bacteria sometimes drop into the
pail at the time of milking. Cows
kept in stables require a thorough
grooming at least once every day,
says the United States Department
of Agriculture. Even those on
pasture are more or less dusty:
and need to be brushed before
milking. 1t is advisable to clip the
long hairs from the udder, TANKS
and tail to prevent dirt from
slinging to them. In order to re-
move any dust or loose hairs, be-
fore milking carefully wipe the I'D
iers, tanks and bellies of all cows,
using a clean, damp cloth. These
payts if dirty will need washing.
Keeping the stable well supplied
with fresh bedding and the fire.
Quent removal 1. Of manure will
also help to keep the cow clean. A
type of stable providing ample
ventilation and sunlight and so con.
structed as to be readily cleaned
will likewise aid in maintaining the
COW in a sanitary condition.
