In addition to these factors, win- ter egg production depends upon the housing, feed and care given. The poultry house should be dry, well | ventilated, free from drafts and abun- dantly lighted. Dryness is secured by having the floor higher than the surrounding ground, drains where necessary and efficient ventilation. The popular style of ventilation is the use of muslin frames in part or as the entire window, a combination of the two preferable, and when used In the proportion of one square foot of glass and an equal amozunt of mus- lin. to every sixteen square feet of floor space, it will afford well lighted and ventilated quarters: One can usually regulate ventilation by ob- Rid t ape asc Ahead chee Serving the interior of the pen.

Oc.asionally clover hay is used €s a litter, and when this is done the hens eat a large amount of the leaves, thus furnishing a substitute for suc- culent feed which is generally lack- ing in the ration unless supplied in sprouted oats, etc. One can make uso of the litter from the alleys in the feeding barns and.material that is usually wasted can be converted into a valuable poultry food by carry- ing it to the poultry house. No grain food, or combination of grains, is suf- ficient, nor is it satisfactory or eco- nomical ration. A common Practice is to have one feed each day com- posed of ground feed, and often ground food is kept before the hens all the time in hoppers, thus reduc: ing the labor. A mash consisting of bran, middlings and corn meal, each one part by weight, and beef scraps One-half part, is a very satisfactory addition to the scatch food, and the combination of the mash and scratch food makes a suitable ration. Farm- ers can substitute the commercial meat foods with table scraps, skim milk, ete., but all rations unless they contain some animal food seem to lack some of the essentials of &@ prop- er ration, and a small amount of ani- mal food can be used to an advan- tage. All rations are lacking in lime, for the laying hen needs large quan- tities for the production of the shell, and lime in some form, such as oyster shells or crushed limestone, if kept where the birds have access to it, will materially increase the egg yield and in cases where the Tange is restricted the birds should also have access to sharp grit in some form, The birds should be kept active during the day, busy working in the/|| . Pens and yet should go to the roost at night with a good full crop and, if they are from a good laying strain, brought to maturity at the right time, are well housed and properly cared for, better results can be expected than where these precautions have not been observed. Books and Novelties WATERING THE MILK COWS A. C. Page, College of Agriculture, University of Missouri. The cow should not be compelled to drink ice-cold water during the winter. There are several good rea- sons why this is bad practice. In the first place, the cow that is Producing a large amount of milk must drink a large amount of water or decrease in milk flow. If there is nothing but ice water available, the cow will take only a few sips and will not drink deeply, as she should, In this way her milk flow will be ap creased. If a cow does happen to drink a large amount of ice water from the trough, she will be completely chilled through for an hour or more, and sometimes for half a day. The cold water stops the digestive processes and may cause trouble in that way. At any rate, it stops the milk produc- ing processes for some time, and puts the nervous system of the cow in poor condition. Water that is used in the body must be heated to the body temperature in some way. If the cow. drinks it South Side Square The Poultry Yard. Winter eggs and exercise go to- gether.

Have the floors of the houses well bedded with some light litter, so that the biddies will be induced to scratch, || and thus warm up their bodies these cold, frosty mornings. Drafts in the chickens’ home are more dangerous when the fowls are quiet on the roost than when they are stirring around during the day; but a cold air current sweeping through the house is a bad thing at any time. As the cold winds come in the fall, itis noticed that the flocks do not take so wide a range as they did’ in milder weather, but, instead, congre- gate in the corn-fields and along the stone fences in the pastures, -where they can get the benefit of the warm gun, and at the same time be shielded from the raw winds. * Poultry feeding has been much im- Do Not Let Great Pile Accumulate to Lose Its Value. Outside of the feeding of the stock, no one thing is of greater importance in improving the farm than the haul iug out of the manure from the barne, Tests have shown that !t pays in dol- lars to haul the manure from the barn to the field regularly instead of lose its value under the sun and rain. In Germany and other European countries they have learned much more about soil management than we have in this country. Prof. M. F. Miller of the University of Missouri, who has been in Germany for a year, says that they haul out the manure and plow it under shallow, and then later come along and plow it under deeply. They have cheaper labor there and can afford to do this. We could scarcely afford to practice that method in Missouri. However, many average farmers do not even try to the manure hauled out at all. One of the great values of the manure spreader, according: to Pro fessor Miller, is that it reminds the “Proceeding on the theory that after a battle it rains,’’ said Mr. Post, ‘‘we made a battle last spring to ben- efit suffering crops. 250 pounds of dynamite. rain almost at once. “After this rainfall, which we in- troduced on July 10, there was not a dcop of rain through the middle of of the explosive was distributed along a line at intervals of one-eighth of a miles the explosive was placed.
