PIO r VOTTKI WINTER QUARTERS NEED RIGHT CARE i Great Drawback Is Keeping Fowls Free of Vermin. More interest among poultry raisers and “small flock” owners centers around the fall and winter season than at. any other time of the year. 1 Many flocks of chickens are ruined by lack of knowledge in caring for theit i winter quarters, picking out the right fowls and keeping them in shape sot the long winter season to follow. | One of the greatest drawbacks of the small raiser is keeping their birds free from vermin, lice and different parasites which infest the chicken quarters. The owner is besieged with .• • different kinds of literature on this i subject, some too expensive to try and i others not practical for their use. In order to raise chickens profitably one must have “building” material that will not use up all the income rei ceived. In the feeding line your feed ! man can, in most cases, sell you feed 1 of the right kind at the right price. In the disinfectant line everybody has , a different method and generally too I expensive for the average small raiser, i I In this line perhaps the best is none too high, but several have been tried j and proved successful. Take a full handful of tobacco stems and soak in iuke warm water for one hour, drain and use .the water i —adding one-half pint of kerosene i and one gallon of water. Spray just ' i before chickens go to roost. If to- | | bacco stems are not obtainable, use I smoking tobacco, a small’package the same way. If too bothersome to soak tobacco get nicotine at the drug store or nursery and use two teaspoonfids to the same proportions as tobacco. To be sure you are getting results, place a sheet of paper -on the dropping board after spraying and if the chickens have vermin you will see them dr&i off paper. Hens Are Tempted by Eggs Broken in Nest One of the most common vices is egg eating, of which most poultrykeepers have had some experience. Although the habit may be formed at any period of the year there is no doubt that a large number of the outbreaks are recorded during the summer. This is partly due to the fact that large numbers of eggs are produced, and many of them >are deposited in nests devoid of litter, thus creating a tendency for the eggs to become damaged. The habit is often the result of a broken one left in the nest or on the manure board/to be devoured by some bird later. Very few, if any, hens can resist j the temptation, and the habit quickly i spreads from one to another, developing into an epidemic which frequently proves costly for the owners. ( Unless the nests are kept well cov- | ered with soft material the shells are i certain to get damaged. Later on other hens frequent the nests, and broken* eggs follow. O<XXXXHXXXXXXXXXXXK><XXXX><XH ! Poultry Hints <><><><X><><XX><><XXXX><XXKKXXXK><><>- , Cleanliness is the best preventive of | poultry diseases. * % * 014 hens are the most common ; spreaders of poultry tuberculosis. • • . Canker is a sore throat similar to diphtheria. Remove a sick hen at i once. i Generally speaking, the hens with white shanks, big red combs, and old, dirty, and ragged plumage are the ones to keep, according to the specialist • • • If eggs are found in stolen nests. In the litter or otherwise, so that their condition is not absolutely known, candle such eggs before taking them to market. • • • A hen that is laying will have a big. red, waxy comb, but as soon as she I quits, the comb will begin to shrivel, j New corn can be fed in the ear if | the birds are started on it gradually, | with the amount increased from day i to day. • • • Muslin curtains, if used in ventilating poultry houses, should be clean and in. good condition. The old muslin are C-which is clogged with dust is not an effective medium for the diffusion of the air. « • » In addition to mash and scratch grain hens should have free access to grit, oyster shell and water. Green feed such as cabbage or mangles is also helpful. For winter feeding yellow corn is superior to white. The yellow types are rich in vitamine A, which is necessary to keep the birds in good health and particularly to prevent eye trouble. This vitamine is also found in green feeds, but little of it in white corn, wheat, oats, buckwheat, barley and other common feeds. « • • Overcrowding in the poultry house discourages production of high-priced eggs. • • • Pullets lay best when confined in the house during the winter months and fed a laying mash. | The general feeding value of whole ■. oats appears to be less for poultry than fpr other types of live stock. The feed is high in fiber, and its feeding value is probably not more than 75 per cent that of corn. It is used in both the scratch feed and mash.

DAIRY ABORTING COWS POOR PRODUCERS Reduction Expected From One to Three-Fourths. There is no definite measure of the decrease that the cow is likely to experience after she has aborted, but our observation has taught us that most heifers that abort while carrying their first calf, if they abort at five months or so, will usually not milk more than one-fourth to onethird of what they will normally produce after a good fitting and a normal calving. If they abort at seven months dr nearer the normal calving period they will milk a considerably greater quantity but not often more than half the production they would normally produce. Cows that have calved normally once or twice and that do not abort too early will often milk within 15 or 20 per cent of their normal production. Our observation has been that the decrease in production depends upon the time that the abort ing takes place and the age of the cow or the number of previous calvings, writes Dr. George H. Conn o( Stephenson county. Illinois, tn the* Prairie Farmer. We have had cows under our care that at mature age following an abortion produced 11IMX' pounds of milk in twelve months, and , the first year following a normal calving (the norma) calving taking place within fifteen months after the previous abortion) the same animal produced over 25.000 pounds of milk. Several animals from a herd under our care .nearly doubled their production after they had recovered from abortion disease. Under ordinary conditions abortion disease in the high-producing dairy herd can be expected to reduce the milk yield in aborting cows from one-fourth to three-fourths of what the normal reduction would be following the birth of a healthy calf. Many authorities figure the average loss per cow due to abortion disease in those herds that are affected at $25 per cow, but in our experience we believe that nearer twice this amount, under present methods of operating the pure-bred dairy herd, would be nearer correct. The pure-bred herd owner will be more likely to put forth a vigorous effort to eliminate abortion disease from his herd when once he figures definitely what this disease is costing him. The cost can very easily be determined from the decreased production from that which he could normally expect from his herd and the loss of the calves which is due to abortion disease. In many pure-bred herds where offspring is sold at high prices this loss will sometimes amount to several thousand dollars per year. In such herds as this large sums of money can be profitably spent if necessary to eliminate the disease from the herd. Alfalfa Hay Excellent Source of Mineral Lime . Alfalfa hay stands supreme as a source of that important mineral, lime. A 1,000-pound cow producing 30 pounds of milk daily requires a little over four ounces of lime daily for maintenance and milk production. Ten I pounds of alfalfa hay alone will supI ply over three ounces of this requirel ment, and other feeds in the ration i will ordinarily supply the balance. ■ Where dairymen feed liberally of al- • salsa hay, the problem of supplying I sufficient available calcium Is very slight. All other minerals are abundantly provided with liberal feeding. Dairy Hints Dehorn the young calf with caustic. • • • The dry roughages such as corn stover, oat and wheat straw and timothy hay, are less valuable than legume hay for milk production. « • • Silage’s chief value is its succulence. One should avoid feeding too much of it, since it is bulky and contains a low percentage of digestible nutrients. When a calf is thriftless or shows symptoms of rickets, give it two to four teaspoonfuls of cod-liver oil twice dally according to age, size and severity of symptoms. • • • Cull out the poorer cows, give the better ones a liberal supply of the proper feeds and watch the cream check hold its own, even gaining in instances. * • • Water, and lots of it, is very important in dairy cattle feeding. Cows in milk should have water twice daily, and it should not be ice cold. It pays to put a heater in the water tank if it is outside in freezing temperature. • • * When skim milk-fed calves tend to scour and blood meal does not prove remedial, add one ounce of lime water to each pint of milk fed daily, or one teaspoonful of a mixture of oneJialf ounce of formalin and fifteen and one-half ounces of boiled water to be kept in an amber colored bottle. • • * Considering that milk is 87 per cent water it is not hard to see why large quantities of warm water will furnish a basis for producing milk, especially in cold weather. « • « Cows that freshen in the fall produce more milk than those that freshen at any other time. • • • Dairymen should keep in mind that [ potatoes are low in protein. For this . reason they are not a satisfactory sub-, I stitute for grain in the ration, but, f come nearer taking the place of silage, j

Harmless as the recipe on the wrapper reads. If you see Chas. H. Fletcher’s signature, it is genuine Castoria. It is harmless to the smallest infant; doctors will tell you so. You can tell from the tecipe on the wrapper how mild it is, and how good for little systems. But continue with Castoria until a child is grown.
