Cochrane KILL NONLAYING FOWLS, Pullets That Are Not Egg Produc- ers Should Not Be Kept Over the Winter. This year, more than ever before, every poultry keeper' who expects to get a profit from his fowls during the winter siould cull out the undesirable individuals with utmost care and_dis- pose of them to the butcher. Even the best flock of range-grown pullets contains 5 or 10 per cent of inferior birds, and this percentage will in many cases run as high as 25 or 30 in flocks that have been raised in con- finement or where several ages have been allowed to run together. 2 ‘Dreeds, March, April and early May hatched pullets should be laying or at least giving evidence that they are about to_lay by the first of December. Any 'ds which have failed to deveiop at that time will not be profitable and they should be disposed of at once. Late May and June hatched. pullets are likely to show a larger percentage of culls than those that were hatched in the spring. It is not too early to dispose of a lot of undesirables from flocks of this age, Any Individuals which are undersized or exhibit signs of low vitality or a tendercy to colds or ca- tarrh wil of a certainty mever pay theif board this winter, and it is alto- gother probavle that if they are al- lowed to remain in the flock they will tranemit some form of cold to the laying pullets and render them also ‘unprofitable. A pullet with a long crow-shaped head, thin body and pale shanks is low in'vitality and will never be a morey-maker. Although she may lay eventually, it will not be until late in the epring, and the present price of grain is 50 high and likely to be so high all winter that no man is war- ranted In keeping over birds which will not begin to rsturn a profit by the first of January. - Many poultry kecpers in their anx- fety to make Phone 531 MODERN PLUMBING is as essential in modern house as electricity is to lighting, We guaran- toe the wery best PLUMBING WORK by expert workmen at the fariest prices.

His large and beautiful building in State street revolutionized the con- struction of business ‘buildings in the city, but none have come up to’the standard of Munséy, the Plant ouild- ing being the nearest to the Munsey ‘standard. 4 Mr. Munsey has purchased from ‘Willlam H.

M. C. A, plant. This newly acquired plot con- nects directly with the rear of the Munsey property in State street and almost since the construction of the Mohican hotel building, Mr. Munsey has leased a right of way over the Dudley property at an annuul rental, s0 it s said, of $500 a year. It is understood that the purchase price is close to $40,000. There is now on Mr. Munsey's new purchase a latge dwelling house and a building used for the wholesale car- riage and blacksmith supplies business of Mr. Guest, and other buildings that ‘were used in connection with the car- riage and blacksmith business that has been conducted there for many rs beyond the personal recoliec- on of men who have nct survived the alloted time ot man. More than half a century ago the business was con- ducted by William F. Keable, then by Dudley and Stevens, then by Sam- uel H. Dudiey and William H. Guest, his_son-in-law.

Crowding has a tendency to prevent those birds which are a trifie backward in development from ever becoming fully matured. because they cannot cet ail they need to eat and drink, being forced into the b: ground by the more inatare birds “-ho are already laving and are tharcZore hungrier. DRAINS FOR WET LAND. e to Prepare for the Spring Rains. Before the ground freezes there should be many acres of land arti- ficially drained.” There is no better time to do it than the present. If done now,. the spring rains will drain quickly, and the working of the soil and crop planting can be accomplished several days earier than otherwise. This is especially important when_the season in this section is so short. Wet flelds mean waste of labor and crops. ‘Where large drains sre to be made, the use of dynamite will undoubtedly accomplish the results easiest and most economically. Now is the CALF FOOD MUST BE RIGHT. The raising of a really good dairy cow depends very greatly upon the way she is fed when shé is a young salf. Most important among the de- tails is the temperature of the food: The most careful experimerts. prove that some milk is necessary for the calf before she reaches the age of eight weeks. The food value of this milk may be greatly reduced or even destroyed by feeding it cold. Feed milk warm always, whether it be whole milk or skim-milk. The nearer it is to the temperature of the cow, 102 degrees, the better. The calf's stomach curdles the milk, the same as in a cheese-vat in which ren- net (a portion of the calf's stomach) is placed, provided the milk is pro- perly warmed. - 'With correct temper- ature and favorable precipitation of the curd in the calfs stomach, in- 1£10'Ie Siherwine, polooneus. sases sve it is Ppolsonous gases are generated and putrefaction, more or less severe, often prevails in the in- testines. Thus it is that cold milk fed twice a day injures instead of buildng up, and the calf shvers, humps her- back, her coat stares and her paunch is painfully distended. As a result her future usefulness as a cow Is im- paired. . The coat of a thrifty caif should be smooth, close and sany. not _staring and @ull. Success with young ani- male comes from correct and sufficient feeding, and it must be carrled on with - persistent regularity. MANURE PIT SAVES $100. .

At a time like the preseni, some things must he sacrificed in feeding for milk production. It seems justi- flable to expect the animal to utilize a part of her storvd physical energy.

The nignts are much’ longer and colder, consequentiy mare Zood is required for maintenance. Thesc facts maie it ev- ident that it §s very necessary for birds to work hirder and eat faster during the coid weather If :hey are heavy producers - Heavy feeding would, of course, be easy il that was all that was necessary, but the health of the flock has tn be cnsidered, and the food can be given only in such quantities as the birds can handle to advantage. . It -is impossible to give the exact | amount ‘that should be fed to any flock, " the judgment of the feeder’ be- ing the only safe rule to follow. The requirement of the flock will vary with production and weather conditions. Any system of fecdng should be practiced with tvo objects in view, namely, to oblige tlie nirds to cxercise to preserve health. and to supply the needs of the body for maintenance and productiori. The best neuws of encouraging the birds to exercise is by feeding =zll of the =cratch gram in deep litter, and kecping the litter ean and ‘dry. This is necessary or the birds will not work in it. About one-fifth of the grain ration may be fed in the morning and the remainder late in the afternoon. It is a very good practice to tirow out a handful of grain several times during the day particularly it it hapens to be very cold weather. The ary mash ghould be fed in hoppers and Kept before the birds at all times. The hoppers should | be so constructed as to keep a con- { tinbous suprly of fresh mash before the birds. 'TF congistency of the mash is v imp ° it _must be the birds will not con- sume enouzh. The. hens prefer the scratch grain, but the mash contains the greater part of the protein which is so necessary for egg productions Equal parts by weight are about the correct proportion of graln and mash for laying bir This proportion may ; be maintained by watching the mash, and increasing or decressing the mount of scratch grain fed.
