DAIRY AND POULTRY: INTERESTING CHAPTERS FOR QUR RURAL READERS. flow Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. Fowls Penned Up. 7? FARMER in the current number of the Land Magazine gives the results of poultry keeping Jon a somewhat considerable: scale. ‘3) He has found that hens shut up in ample pens give the minimum of trouble, and lay the maximum of eggs. His plan is to erect “houses” ac- cording to his requirements, and to enclose, with ordinary wire netting, fixed to upright poles in the ground, spaces around each, ranging from nine- ty-eight to 277 square yards. The ground set apart for the runs was the Tough patches generally found near to the homestead and outbuildings. At the outset he selected fowls that were 00d layers, such as a cross between light and brown Leghorn cocks and the dark Brahma hens, They were, of course, most prolific in March, April, May, June and July, but March and April pullets began laying on October 1, so that he had a good supply of eggs all the year round. The food in the morning consisted of good soft meal, with a sprinkling of meat crissel in summer, and, in the very cold weather, Indian meal, which is a. heat producer. In the evening, wheat, buckwheat, dari, or heavy oats were given, separately, not mixed. No maize was thrown down, as it is fat-producing, and les- sens the laying capacity of the hens. There was no limit to the supply of water and grcen stuffs. The results were highly satisfactory. The egg year ends on September 30, and from Octo- ber 1, 1895, to September 30, 1896, our poultry farmer had an average of 150 fowls, and collected during the year 18,963 eggs, in addition rearing 154 broods of chickens and ducklings. Octo- ber and November were the only two months when the eggs were below 1,000 a month. The best results were from two pens, jointly covering 503 square In cold weather; bring the feed to her. Winter pastures are the delight of the horse raiser and the steer farmer, but a delusion to the winter dairyman. Be not deceived. The weather in winter is not suited to milk production and the cow must be sheltered from the rain, snow and wind. No matter how much green grass you have out in the winter pasturej the cow giving milk is not the animal to turn out there to eat it. She will do well at it for a time, but soon will adjust herself to the climate and fatten instead of con- tinuing to fill the pail until spring. The place where creameries have to shut down in winter because of lack of milk is where winter pastures are the most of a success, and the places where winter dairying is most successful are those where no reliance is placed on winter pasture for cow feed. This does not prove that succulent food like sil- age and roots is deleterious in winter. Far from it. But succulent food should be fed in a warm barn, not out in the open field. This is a hard thing to impress upon those who are lovers of the steer. The more rich feed a steer has the less he cares for shelter. He ; Will often sleep in the snow from choice. The heifer fed like a steer will be much like one, and as unlike what she should be for milk as possi- ble. Be careful not to put her on a starchy diet and expose her to cold | winds, nor even keep a cow in milk on pasture in cold weather. Shelter her, make her comfortable without forcing her to use her food as fuel to keep her warm. Exposure is a fatal mistake no matter how seductive may be the temptation. Thrift and Health. Keeping animals thrifty is one of the best ways of keeping them healthy. Bulletin 55 of the South Dakota Experi- ment Station says: “In September, 1896, when the experi- ment lambs were fed growing rape, their droppings contained segments of Monieza expansa, R. BI., the broad tape- worm of sheep, indicating that a previ- | ous weakening of the lambs’ digestive systems had permitted the lodgement and increase of these parasites. In- quiry revealed the fact that the lambs had suffered from lack of water and grass on their summer range. As these conditions also favor the growth of the more harmful Thysanosoma actinio- ides, Dies., the fringed cestode of sheep, the droppings were carefully examined, but not a trace of the fringed segments could be found. In February, 1897, two of the sheep died and many fringed ces- first and afterwards emaciate the sheep. The liver fluke is a smooth, bag-like flat-worm, while a magnifying glass shows the fringed cestode to be a joint- ed tapeworm, with fringes covering the segments. Under liquid these fringes may be seen by the unaided eye, and are diagnostic. The viscera of the thir- ty-one sheep slaughtered in Brookings, during April, 1897, were examined. Sixteen sheep which had been summer fed on closely pastured prairie, and watered from nearly dried-up ponds, were found infested with the fringed cestode. The other fifteen sheep had grazed on abundant grass, had access to a plentiful supply of pure water and were entirely free from internal para- sites. Thus the region near Oakwood Lakes was remarkable for its exemption from sheep parasites. The facts al- ready ascertained in this investigation indicate that if the young lambs are fed untainted food in troughs, or on clean pastures, and given an abundance of clean water, with a liberal supply of salt, there is little danger of their be- coming infested with the fringed ces- tode. As it is generally believed that more prairie sheep die during their first winter from the effects of the fringed cestode than from any other cause, this line of investigation will be continued. Fore-Milk. What is known as the fore-milk usually contains many bacteria, while the strippings are nearly or quite free from them. Bacteria can enter the canal of the teat and grow in the small quantity of milk left in it at each milk- ing. Hence they are often washed out in great numbers by the first few spoonfuls drawn. I have found as high as 480,000 per cubic centimeter in freshly drawn fore-milk, and in most of the experiments I have made the samples of fore-milk kept a shorter time than the samples drawn later. In some cases, however, the fore-milk kept sweet several days (in one case twelve days), indicating that the bac- teria that produced changes in milk were very few in number in it. My ex- periments would indicate that cows differ considerably as to the number of bacteria that gain entrance to the teats; and, of course, the condition in which the body of the cow is allowed to remain, and the character of the place in.which she lies down, would influence in a marked degree the num- ber of bacteria in the fore-milk.—Prof, Cratchie, GIO THE YORKSHIRE COACH HORSE, PRINCE OF WALES, THE SIRE OF MANY NOTED PRIZE-WINNERS IN yards, and containing fifty birds in the two, which yielded 7,727, or an average, roughly, of 154 eggs each in the year. For the present year 177 of these fowls have given the grand total of 22,270 eggs. The record is as follows: Octo- ber (1896), 968; November, 1,104; Decem- ber, 1,608; January (1897), 1,805; Feb- ruary, 1,751; March, 3,547; April, 2,941; May, 2,427; June, 2,395; July, 2,328; Au- gust (to the 19th inclusive), 1,396. The balance of receipts over expenditure, taking into account the stock in hand, leaves a very substantial interest up- on the capital invested. The sale book for 1896 shows that 19,900 eggs, 444 hens and 261 ducklings were sold. The eggs for 1895-6 realized a fraction over | a penny a piece, while the 19,900 were a trifle under. Poultry keepers ought not to sell March and April pullets, as many farmers do, for they lay in win- ter, when eggs are very scarce, and, consequently fetch high prices. Pen- ning up fowls is strongly reeommend- ed, because they cannot stray and lay away from home, the eggs are always fresh and quickly gathered, broods are mot hatched at the wrong time, and it ‘is easy to see if anything is amiss with the birds. Cow Comfort. One of the hardest things to impress upon farmers is the value of comfort to the cow, writes E. C. Bennett in ‘New York Produce Review. No mat- ter how well and wisely we feed, if the ‘cow is not comfortable she will not | elimimate a full mess of milk. When the cow is wet and chilled she uses the food for warming herself, and what-is used in this way does not appear in the milk pail. It is gone, radiated to the wild prairie winds; lost forever. A cold rain eauses her to shrink in milk. A raw wind dries her up. Foraging in the stalk fields in winter will do more harm than good. She must be where the temperature approximates.summer temperature if she is to make milk as she will im summer weather. Don’t _send the cow to tie fields for her feed ENGLAND AND A GOOD TYPE OF THE BREED. todes were found in the small intestine near the entrance of the common bile duct, and also in the smaller bile duct, far up into the lobes of the liver. At this time the cestodes were from one- half inch to three inches long, and the egg-bearing segments were not mature enough to be breaking away from the worms. AS some of the sheep were not responding properly to their feed, it was predicted that all were infested and the flock was isolated. Neither at this time nor at later autopsies were any intestines, and it is probable that the purging caused by the rape had ex- pelled them in September. Throughout the month of April, thirteen of these sheep were slaughtered, the viscera ex- amined, and every sheep was found in- fested with fringed cestodes. These Parasites were most numerous in the enlarged bile ducts of the liver, and in the small intestine near the orifice of the bile duct, which was usually so en- larged as to easily admit an ordinary lead pencil. A few of the gall cysts contained one or two of the cestodes. In six sheep the pancreas was algo in- fested, the fringed cestodes being found far up in the pancreatic ducts, three inches from the small intestine. The condition of the sheep did not vary with the relative number of ‘these internal parasites, some of the largest and fat- test sheep containing as many fringed cestodes as the lighter weight sheep. All of the sheep were so carefully fed as to be thrifty and well nourished throughout the experiment. This care, with their rapid fall fattening, caused their mutton to be of the best quality, and by far the best obtainable in Brookings this year. At later stages of the trouble the sheep would have lost flesh and the emaciated would have thus been made unfit for eating. There is no proof that the fringed cestode in- feats human beings. The fringed ces- tode resembles a liver fluke both in ap- pearance and effects. Both fatten at sehualyteonamnanl of the broad tapeworms found in the | DEFECTIVE Experiment Stations and Poultry. Within the past three years the expe- riment stations have given much atten- tion to poultry, and the wise professors who had exhausted the field of cattle feeding were surprised at the amount of work on their hands in the poultry line. They found that there were a thousand and one little details they had never anticipated, and instead of winding up the experiments in a few months they have been compelled to go on with their work for several years before they can give results. Thé con- sequence is that a great interest is be- ing created in poultry, and those who supposed that there was little or noth- ing to learn have discovered that they knew less about the management of poultry than of larger stock. The sta- tions have given much valuable infor- mation on methods of feeding, and the diseases of poultry have received spe- cial attention. Considering that the poultry interests are valuable, and that millions of dollars are made on the farms every year from poultry, the sta- tion work will result in incalculable benefit.—Ex, Carrots for Horses.—Of all roots with which horses are tempted, the carrot, as a rule, is the favorite, and perhaps the most beneficial. It is said to be somewhat diuretic in its effects, and to exercise a salubrious influence on the skin, Certain it is that a sick horse may be coaxed into eating carrots when disinclined to partake of other nourish- ment, and the greatest benefit results, For the ailing horse carrots are most valuable as an article of diet, and a few may be given with advantage even to a horse in healthy condition.—The Prince Edward Island Agriculturist.
