Grit takes the place of teeth in preparing the feed ‘or further digestion and is required for| ine proper preparation of feed in the sizzard. When the feed is not properiy iaken care of in this organ, an undue strain Is thrown ion the fowl's system. ‘often resulting in disease and also allow- through the bird’s body without being ing much of the nutriment to pass absorbed. In every pen or yard a box of grit should be kept. Recent investi- | gators have asserted that grit is a part of the necessary food of a flock, giving the fowls Btrong bones and a bright plumage. Ordinarily, the hen does not con- sume enough lime to form the shells of eggs, if she is laying aburdantly, unless something besides the ordinary grain feeds is accessible to her. Oyster shells are very good for this purpose. A box of crused shells may be placed before the fowls, allowing them to eat at will. Old mortar and fine gravel are also use- ful in supplying lime. Charcoal readily absorbs gases, im- purities and acids, and thus ac’s as a corrective when the stomach is {our and digestion has been impaired.

October or November is a good time for cows to drop calves, and to do this they imust be bred in January or early Febru- ary. Even though dairy cows freshen in the fall of the year, they will not prove good producers unless they are given proper shelter, plenty of feed and other necessary care and attention. No ani- mal responds more quickly to good treai- ment. Cows that become fresh in fall and produce well in winter may be turned out on pasture in the spring at a time when the milk flow begins to decline. The succulent feed and exercise in the pasture will stimulate the yfeld and help the cows increase in flesh.

There have been many advocates of the theory that chicken lice can be killed by painting the roosts.and dropping boards or the whole interior of the poultry house with various oil’ mixtures, the idea being that the vapors or gases arising from these points penetrate the feathers of the roosting fowls and kill the lice. This method has been given a very extensive jtrial and not one of the 42 different 3 5.50 $ 6.00 $ 6.50 i “Pape’s Cold Compound” is Quickest Relief Known Don't stay stuffed-up! and snuffling! A dose of “Pape’s Cold Compound” taken every two hours un- til three doses are taken usually breaks | any cold right up. The very first dose opens clogged nostrils and the air passages of the head; stops nose running; relieves the headache, dullness, feverishness. “Pape’s Cold Compound” costs only a few cents at drug stores. It acts without assistance, t: con- tains ‘o quinine—In Quit blowing AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS preparations tested was found tor be of uny value. These preparations contained one or more of the foliowing ingredients: Phenoie, tar oils, hydrocarbon oils, creo- sote ofls, carbon disulphid, wood-tar dis- itallate, benzol, nitro-benzene, napthalene, anthracene oil and pyridine. In these experiments the roosts and dropping boards or the whole interior of the house were thoroughly painied or sprayed just before the fowls went to roost, and all doors, windows and ven- tilators were closed during the first night. Five badly infested fowls were used in each test, and at the end of one week ex- amination was made for living lice. Al- though an occasional dead louse - was found on the dropping board, in no case was the treatment of any practical value. | Since many .of these preparations were [found to be effective when used as fumi- gents in small boxes, it is apparent that the inehectiveness of. house treatment is due to the fact that the fumes do not be- come concentrated enough to kill the lice. Tests were also made. with lime-sulphur applied in the same way; this also was found to be of no value. TACTFUL HANDLING OF THE SKUNKS Few persons have seriously considered establishing friendly relations with a ekunk. It has been done in some cases under the mfepprehension that the ani- mal was a cat, and the results have been unpleasant. But the biological survey of the United States department of agricul- ture has investigated the skunk and found him to be the best wild-animal friend the farmer has. 2 Almost any farmer might have two or three dozen skunks at work for him de- stroying mice, grasshoppers, cricets and white grubs, and furnishing him from $50 o $100 worth of fur a year. All that is necessary is that he respect their dens, keep his poultry in skunk-proof yards, kill an old horse for them every fall, and be tactful when he meets them in the evening. There is a marked depression of the fur market at present, but recovery to normal is anticipated. It has been estimated that 3 years cgtch of skunks in New York state is worth $1,000,000. Only one-fifth of them are black or short striped. If all were of this higher grade, they would be worth $3,000,000. The department suggests that a preserve stocked with black skunks would eventually. double or treble the catch of skunks in the territory surround- ing it MANAGEMENT OF GEESE. Goose’ raising is not so extensively en- gaged In as duck raising, the conditions under which they. can be successfully raised being almost entirely different from those necessary for successful duck rals- ing. The duck, being smaller, can be raised in a more limited space than can the goose, the latter needing free range and water, while the formef has been proved to do well without water. While the goose cannot profitably be raised in 2s large numbers as the duck, still it cannot justly be termed unprofit- able. There are many places on a farm that are worthless for- cuitivation that could be utilized with exesilent results for goose raising. Fields that streams, branches or unused springs on them could be turned to good advantage by making l{hem into gocse pastures. . Mzny ‘farmers {are profiting by this and adding to their | incomes annually. The care and atiention necessary for raising geese are small when compared with the returns, and the cost of food {is also proportionately small in compar- ison with the cost of food used for other birds bred for market. A goose on range will gather the largest portion of i's food, consisting of -grasses, Insects and other ‘animal and yegetabls matter to be found in the flelds and brooks.
