WINTER FEEDING
NOW NEGLECTED
Equipment in Poultry House
Often Lacking.

Quite frequently poultry owners at.
tempt TO go through the winter with
insufficient feeding and watering
equipment in the poultry house.
Weeks of bad weather during the
winter make it hard to care for the
flock adequately unless attention has
been given to feeding needs.
With the advent of mash feeding,
fiocks being fed in many instances on
mash ration alone. mash hOppers
in the winter house become practical
ly necessity. These hOppers should
be large enough to care for the mash
needs of the flock for at least two
weeks, to save labor by less frequent
filling. A good rule to follow in judg-
ing the flock needs for a definite time
is to allow for consumption of
about three pounds of mash per bird,
per month. One foot of feeding space
should be allowed for every ten birds
in the flock. The hopper should he
arranged so that the fowls cannot
roOst on the top.
Where scratch grain is fed. it should
be fed in the litter, either in the
house or in the scratch shed or room.
To facilitate the feeding of this grain,
a storage box in one end or corner of
the house that will hold enough
scratch grain for a month of winter
feeding will prove to be a valuable
and small investment. Boxes should
also be provided and kept filed with
grit and shell throughout the winter.
Any drinking fountain that can be
easily cleaned is good. Automatic
fountains, if they meet this require
ment, are to be recommended and if
a self-heating fountain is available
that can be kept well cleaned, it will
aid in keeping up egg production
through the cold winter months.
Birds should never be forced to drink
ice water, even though such auto
matte heating equipment is not in
stalled in the house.

Muscular Pains Frequently
Due to Congestion

When you have Rheumatic or Mus
cular Pains in the back, chest or limbs
try this simple treatment. Congestion
Qack of blood flow is the usual cause
of pains in the muscular tissues. Hoffs'
Liniment, a powerful stimulant brings
quick flow of blood to the painful area,
relieving congestion and resulting pain.
Get a bottle of Hoffs' Liniment and
apply it with brisk rubbing. Then apply
a cloth saturated with the liniment to
the painful area and in a few minutes
you will feel the warming and stimulat-
ing effect of this powerful liniment.
If you do not get relief in 30 minutes
your druggist will refund the purchase
price. Large 8 ounce bottles cost only
60 cents. If your druggist cannot supply
you, just send 60 cents to the Goodrich
Gamble Company, Saint Paul, Mime

return mail.

rather small window. The length of
the side draperies in this case was
governed by the desire to make the
window seem longer and the room
slightly formal in treatment. The pat
termed material was also chosen to
bring out the window as point of
interest, and TO make contrast with
the plain walls. Sometimes the choice
of longer or shorter side curtains Is
governed by the prevailing style
among decorators. but more often 1t
is decided by the needs of particu-
lar room and the likes of the individ-
ual. If there had been a radiator I'M
der the window in this case 1t would
have been advisable to use draperies
extending to the apron edge only.
There is no valance, as line cross
ing the window would have cut off
some of the desired height The glass
curtains of natural theatrical gauze,
which match the background of the
drapery, are shirred on a rod with
small heading. The side draperies are
of good quality, fast-colored cretonne
unlined, and finished with an invisi-
bic handsewn hem. They are laid in
french pleats and attached to rings
which enable them to be drawn across
the window on the outer pole

The boy had not thought that it
would be cruel to keep the whippoor-

At night he listened to hear his
whippoorwiIl sing, but never a sound
did he make.

WhippOorwill was without his mate,
and after long time he caught Mrs.
Whippoorwil.
Now he would surely have the glori-

But not sound did he hear. In
fact they seemed to have forgotten
their note.

You see, the whippoorwill will not
sing in captivity. He is utterly miser-
able then, and he longs to be back
where he can be alone
Then, at night. when it is quiet and
dark, we can sometimes hear his glor-

everyone needs TO keep a generous

Butter, cream, dairy products, eggs,
liver, green leafy vegetables and cod

vitamin A. During the winter when
the cows and chickens green food
supply is so limited the vitamin con-

somewhat lowered. 1t then becomes
very essential to increase the supply

The estimation of birds prospec-
tive breeding value is the acme of
the breeders skill.
Inbreeding to make an establish

approached with caution.
Cock birds usually produce excel

give poor fertility early in the season.

he can afford comfortable poultry

Portable at very little expense.
Fowls infested with round worms
may be treated by feeding them dry
mash containing one pound per
pounds. The medicated mash should
be fed for four weeks.
To secure the best flock fertility,
mate such breeds as the Plymouth
Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Wyan-
dottes and Orpingtons with one male
to every II to 10 females. For the
smaller breeds, such as the Leghorns,
one male to every II to 10 females
can be used.

in the body of an insect or grub and
the tapeworm gains entrance to the
chickens body only when the chicken
eats the intermediate host.
In dealing with tapeworms, as with
round worms, prevention is better
than cure. Thorough daily cleaning
and careful disposal of the droppings
will prevent the insects from becom-
ing infected SO that they will be
harmless for the chickens to eat.

four square feet of floor space for

Hot House Lambs

Lamb is in season all the year
round, and in most seasons is very
reasonable in price, despite the opin-
ion of those who think only of legs
and chops.
OF course, shot house" lambs, sup
piled through the winter from as early
as Christmas, are luxury, for much
care and expense is required in pro-

Easter lambs come next, and in
this season the term genuine" is in

lambs and small yearlings which

cuts can be made into delicious dishes
without difficulty: Saratoga chops,
