I o e i All Around The Farm FOR POULTRY BREEDING. Buropean War Offers Great Oppor- tunity, Says Expert. That the European war offers great opportunity for American poultry breeders to extend the scope of their business is the opinion of T. E. Quisen- berry, director of the Missouri state poultry experiment station, who says: “There {8 no reason for good poul- trymen to be alarmed because of the present situation which we are facing on account of the European war or the high price of feeds. The man who has a good laying strain of pure bred poul- try is going to get enough eggs this winter to pay his feed and labor bills and net him a nice profit. -Neither will breed exhibition poultry suffer, because good breeding stock and eggs in 1915 are going to be scarce and high. We believe that eggs will be higher this winter than ever before. .So.the good poultryman need-not -be.alarmed. .On the other hand, we helleve this:is real: ly; the multrymrna opportunity. Bug the fellow who 'wijl=suffer is:the man who has 'scrub poultry thatihss been bred neither:for eggs-nor exhibition. - “When' times get- hard o the price of; otlier-food praducts ‘adysnce, as Is shown by the:pagt bistary ofjithe in: dusfry, thousands pf shop memni:clerks, mechgnics' and. 1aboring ‘men i cities and small towns turn to poultry as a side line to:help pay the ‘high cost of living.’ -It:is: certain:to be so again, Heowever, because-of this uneasiness, there is great danger of many fine flocks, which it has taken years to breed and perfect, being sacrificed this fall and winter. This war is -causing feed to advance in price, hut it will also cause eggs. poultry and practical- ly all other food products to advance in;proportion. The question with you ought to be how to get the egg. There will_ be a great demand next season for eggs and stock for breeding pur- poses. Our advice Is not to decrease your flock in size so that your business will be crippled this winter or next season.” Feeding Alfalfa to Horses. Alfalfa is a splendid horse feed, but must be fed with judgment and care. Because of its palatability mature horses are likely to eat too much alfal- fa' if permitted to have free access toit. The average farm horse at hard work is ‘allowed to eat much more alfalfa and other roughage than he really needs to maintain his weight. One pound of alfalfa or other hay and about one and one-quarter pounds of .grain per day for each 100 pounds of the horse’s weight make a good ra- tion for the working horse. Horses like alraifa stems. Refuse from the cattle rac¢ks is very accepta- ble to horses. Feed mature horses first and second cutting alfalfa, whiclr is free from mold and dust. Never feed wet alfalfa hay to horses. A sudden change of feed deranges the horse’s digestive system Horses accustomed to alfalfa as a regular part of their ration are seldom troubled from its use.—Extension Bul- letin 28, Nebraska Experiment Station.

The teats should number at least twelve, fully developed, set well apart, even in size and the front teats well forward on the body. The number of teats does not indicate al- ways the number of pigs she is likely to have. Whether on range or in pen, hogs should have a medicinal ration made up as follows: One pound each of wood charcoal, sulphur. salt, baking soda and sulphide of antimony. Pulverize and mix thoroughly. Use a tablespoon- ful daily for each pig from the time they are old enough to run in the field. Add a tablespoonful of bonemeal for each animal and mix the whole lot with enough moistened meal or bran to make a palatable mess: Clean wa- ter and shade are essentials. Dipping is also advisable.
