2 THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, MARCH 17, 1921. Address Home Grown Poultry Feeds. The profit from the farm flock depends in a large measure upon the skill of the owner in producing homegrown grains and gTeen feeds. On any reasonable fertile soil grain feeds can be produced cheaper than they can be purchased, and a second saving can be made by converting these crops into efficient rations. The fact that feed crops are being grown for the fowls enables the owner to practice a more sensible system of nock-handling than is possible when this phase of the business is neglected. With plenty of land available there can be no excuse for the man who claims that he can buy grain, forage and vegetable feeds cheaper than he can grow them. It is quite true that some of the crop yields will be low, but there is absolutely no excuse for not harvesting good crops from fertile soils if one applies modern methods. Corn, oats, wheat, buckwheat, clover, alfalfa, beets and cabbage are easy to raise and all have a place in making up economical rations for the farm flock. On most farms skim-milk and insect life make up the bulk of animal protein available for poultry rations. It is, however, one of the most essential element* of the ration, and if satisfactory result* from other feeds are obtained it must be supplied in reasonable amounts. As a rule beef •traps and ground bone furnish the cheapest animal protein. Grit, shell and some of the ground grains must be purchased, unless one has the facilities for grinding the home-grown grains. But even when it is necessary to buy some of these special protein feeds the bulk of the ration may well consist of home-grown feeds. Thi saving in the cost of feeding will more than offset any lack of efficiency in the ration, and the birds will be more healthy and vigorous than is the case when fed only mixed and prepared feeda. If bird* have free range surprising result* are often obtained from very ordinary rations. During thi season,when insect life is unusually plentiful, there is scarcely a method of feeding, unless it Is extremely abnormal, that will produce as good egg production or maintain as good growth of the young stock. After experimenting for several years with different crops the writer found com and alfalfa the two most valuable homo-grown poultry feeds. With these two feeds as a foundation ration may easily be varied to meet the requirements of the flock and the market prices of other feeds. Good alfalfa serves as an excellent substitute for expensive grain feeds, and it can be out and cured for less than one-half what the cost of the grain needed te take its place in the ration would amount to. Where alfalfa does not make ft good stand, red or alsike clover may be used to good advantage. Alfalfa cut before it is In the woody stage and properly cored will come out of the mow as green as any grass you ever saw.

The germ to blame is known as the bacillus abortus, and it also causes, "shy breeding," constant heat, failure to come in heat and retention of the afterbirth. Following retention of the afterbirth and its removal by hand, other germs may help infect the womb 1 The abortion bacillus causes chronic infection and inflammation of the womb, and that is termed endometritis. That condition may lead to expulsion of a live or dead fetus.

I talk all day long, but it doesn't do any good." No mother needs to endure her children's untidy habits, or any other undesirable habits, if she goes about training in the right way, and is willing to take a little trouble to carry it out. Four simple rules based on psychology, may serve to give such mothers an insight into the means of forming right habits. If carried out faithfully, these rules cannot fail to produce results. First, decide for yourself what fa *bit you wish to form. Then start enthusiastically and determinedly to b-eakj the old and launch the new one. Say! to your children, "Beginning to-lay, | we are all going to hang up our wraps, I and put our books and rubbers in the proper places when we come h >n.o from school. Let's see who remem >er3 every time, and doesn't have to I ave Mother tell her once about it." Ar ase as much enthusiasm a3 youcan ai-out the matter. Be careful that you do' not start to break and form anew too1 many habits at one time. Select one1 or two habits to work on, and kee- at. them until you are reasonably sure' that they are well fixed. Then -cart: on another. Second, permit no exceptions to oc-; cur after you have once started. No: matter how good the intentions bf the children are, they will laps« intc the old ways after a few days. That is j when you will have to work. You will! find that eternal vigilante on your part will be the price of your children's good habits. When Mary comes home in a hurry to go cut to play, she will throw her books on the nearest chair. Don't say, "Oh, well, she is little, and it :s hard to remember all the time. I'll let it go this time." That is where you will fail. Even though Mary has already gone away to play, she should be called back immediately and told in a kind manner, "You forgot your books to-day. Put them away, and then you may go to play." One or two experiences of that kind will soon nuke Mary more careful. Third, repeat the desirable action as often as possible. We all know that the habit is most firmly fixed which we have been practicing longest. Seize every occasion to perform the act which you wish to become a habit, and its-acquisition will come all the Last of all, act don't talk. As Professor James says, in his Talks to Teachers, "Don't preach too much or abound in good talk in the abstract." When Mary throws her coat on the floor and her rubbers in the middle of the hall, don't bell her that nice little girls don't do those things, or that she is a careless girl and should know better, and a great deal more to thit effect. Simply call her as soon as you discover what she has done, and tell her quietly,and good-naturedly to put her things away immediately, and then see that she does it. Such treatment a3 this is far more effectlv. than mere talking. - „t;,.„T.f,;„ cnin i °f the persistent and violent clamor out by means of an antiseptic so!u-;of fc j-^ ^ Seattered tion and rubber catheter or tube.
