For chewing and The day has long passed when the farmer, in feeding his poultry, goes to the. corn house and throws out a bucket of whole corn, wheat or oats without regard to the Fequirements of the flock or the séason of the year. With eggs bringing such good prices in the market, there are few farmers who do not make some attempt to feed intelligently for egg production. An article in the report of farm- ers' institutes, issued by the state de- partment of agriculture is interest- ing in this regard, inasmuch as con- siderable space is given to a discus- sion of feeding. Specimen rations for laying hens in winter, not forget- ting rations for chicks, are given. The author is of the opinion that many farmers can make poultry rais- ing less of a side issue and more a means of direct remuneration if they will give some attention to the utility gide of the problem. With"this idea in mi¥d, the different breeds of poul- try, incubation, brooding, rearing and housing, in addition to the trea- tise on foods, are considered in the paper. Poultry raisers will find much ma- ferial of interest in the bulletin, which gan be secured free of charge upon application to Commissioner Calvin J. Huson, Albany, N.Y. Frozen Beets The following is taken from one of our contemporaries across t line, and may be of interest to o d- ers: Stockmen are being warned '§s to the possibility of poisoning stock from feeding frozen beets, by Dr. F, B. fladley, of the veterinary depart- ment of the college of agriculture of the University of Wisconsin. Last year a considerable loss was sustain- ed by Wisconsin stockmen from this cause. The greatest trouble resulted from beets that were frozen and af- terwards thawed before fed. In one serious .case the frozen beets were boiled with grain "to make a slop. After this mixture was fed the hogs died in a short time, due to paralysis of the heart. Recent investigations show that tHe chemical changes which take place in the process of freezing and thawing produce a pois- onous substance which causes rather --~-- AGRICULTURAL TOPICS | FOR WHIG READERS | real dairy cows. the Dairy Division, record forms and 5 supplied free.

Neglect of this resource causes losses, which though little appreciated, are vast in Waste of manure is both so common as to breed Indifference and so sil- ent as {fo escape notice. Many of ur have no idea what a valuable fertil- izer we have in farmyard manure. But without it or its equivalent ou: farms would not continue long to produce crops. ; Experiments indicate that thé av- erage fertilizing value of thé man- ure produced inh a year by different farm animals, is as follows: Horses, twenty-seven dollars; eattle, twenty dollars; hogs, four dollars. Reckon- ing on this basis the value of the manure psoduced on a farm support- ing six horses, twenty-five head of cattle and twelve hogs would be seven hundred dollars. This esti- mate is based on values unsnally as signed to the fertilizing ingredients ofeommercial fertilizers and is"pos- sibly somewhat too high from the practical standpoint. Offsetting this, however, is the value of farmyard manure to thé mechanical condition of all soils, which value is not found in commercial fertilizers. Experts who have studied the fer tilizer problem tell us that it is safe to assume that fully one-third of the fertilizing value of farmyard manure is lost through careless management. At this conservative estimate the yearly loss through indifference in the handling of manure amounts to over $200 on the average 150-acre farm. We may not appreciate how seri- ous this loss is while the natural fer- Ulity of our soils will stand the strain that we make upon it. The time is coming, however, when we will have to consider this loss and when it will take many years to bring On application to! extent.

Give the chicks time to assimilate the yolk of the egg which contains enough food to last them several days. Begin by feeding a mixture of 2-3 rolled oats and 1-3 wheat bran mix- ed with a small amount gf charcoal. Oatmeal is the finest food known to give young awimals. This is fed on a 'clean board or paper four or five times a day and only a 'mall quan- tity fed at a time. We remove the feeding-board after the chicks are through eating. Clean, coarse sand or ling feed is given, and note the time the first feed is given, and no ari is given before. After the chicks are four days old and you have been feeding them rolled goats and bran for a day or two, wé'begin to add a little commercial chick feed to the above mixture, and gradually in- crease this until the rolled oats and bran are eliminated from the, first or grain feed: The rolled oats and bran are fed morning, noon and night, and a good grade of commer- cial chick feed is thrown into the lit ter between meals. This compels the little, fellows to exercise, and they soon begin to serateh as vigorously as if they had been at it for many weeks. You'ean almost see them grow and develop, and become active and husky At the age of four or five days begin to feed a day mash made as follows: Two parts wheat bran, one part corn meal, one half part rolled oats or oatmeal, shorts. To every hundred the above mixture-wo add of fine charcoal, a handful of hone meal, and a half pound of fige table salt, mix it in thoroughly. When the 'chicks are about six weeks old, their ration of chick feed and rolled oats van be gradually changed to cracked corn, wheat and kaffir corn.

Maintain the Fertility of the Soil New York state farmers would have but little use for fertilizer if they gave their land sufficient culti- vation and drainage and followed a few simple rules in rotation of crops 80 as. to keep the organic matter up to a proper per cent. atcording to D. P. Witter, of Bercshire. Few farm lands are given such care, Mr. Witter finds, and go it is that one of the best papers in the report of the farmers' institutes, now being dis- tributed by the state department of agriculture, is devoted to the subject of fertilizer. Five things are needed to maintain the fertility of the soil on a basis] which will endure for all time, says Mr. Witter. These are: Drainage of all wet lands, deep and thorough cul- tivation, a sufficient supply of or- ganic matter in the soil, a short rota- tion and the growing of some legum- inous crop. On this groundwork Mr Witter builds an interesting and helpful contribution to farm litera- ture, or Anyone interested in reading a dis | cussion of the subject should send to Commissioner Calvin J. Huson, Albany, New York, for a copy of the report. It will be distributea free of charge. Alfalta Proverbs Alfalfa enriches the ground. Alfalfa is a drouth resister, Alfalfa is the best soil doctor.

A. beginning of a new season is the time to commence keeping records of pro- duction of the cows separately. Just a knowledge of thé total. yield of milk from the whole herd may give the owner an idea of the average yield per cow, but that does not give quite enough information. There may be a thousand pounds of milk difference in the total yield of two cows for the season, which would be unnoticeable in the small difference in the appearance of- their two milk pails daily. Often the difference is far more than a thousand pounds, yet all cows are lumped together, good, poor and medium, all alike, when taking merely an average. ince keeping records of individual 'oduct'on many a dairyman has in- creased the average of his herd by fifteen hundred, and two thousand pounds of milk or 'more, because he has been able to detect the poor, un- profitable cows that masquerade as L tility that they would have been in did we start right now to make the best use of farmyard® manure. Let us do it now. Cost of Being Too Economical There may be such a thing being too poor to be economical, but there surely is no such thing as being economical when it means loss of life or property. Take it in the 'matter of harness Every day or two accounts come to us of terrible accidents due to poor harneds. As I write the story comes to me of a farmer who was driving down a hill with his family when the hold-backs gave way, the team which was a spirited one become frightened, ran away and now a home is made sad for all time If good sense teaches us anything it is that every part of the farm har ness should be sound and good. This does not mean simply those used oul on the road, but those in use when around on the farm. A stout team doing heavy work will test the hest harness made. We al knew it; why tempt providendce by letting rents 26 till something awful happens? On every farm there should be : kit of mending tools, and they ought to be used every time the first sign of weakness comes. If the old say- "A stitch in time saves nine' were true anywhere it is in such times as this. A very few minutes spent in sewing the broken parts to. i gether may save hours of work later, and maybe the life of some dear one of the home. And there is nothing that makes a horse more unreliable than once to be in a runaway. Ever afterward we must be on our guard against a repetition of the tronble EL. Vingent Old Meadows Every year we hear the poor con dition of "old meadows" or mowing fields remarked upon. Now, why should this condition of things ex ist? "old meadows" any way. Just sc certain as there are "old meadows," just so certain will the hay crop he light on those fields. They why noi adopt a new system and do awa) with old meadows entirely? If a farmer has so much land that he cannot get over it at least once in three or four years with some sor! of fertilizer and grass seed, then he has too mueh land, Of course, I an referring to mowing fields, not pas- tures. After two or three crops o hay have been taken off a field it should be gain' taken' up and re seeded. In my practice I have re- ceived very satisfactory results by spreading od a good coat of barn manure, sowing grass seed and clov or and harrowing well with the double action cutaway harrow. An- other method that has proven to give excellen sults is to thoroughly cui up the sod immediately after haying with the double action enjaway har row, going over the field at inter vals of a few days, covering a period of four to six weeks, allowing the sun to help kill' cut the grils an. then apply a coat of manure or high- grade fertilizer; and sowing a gout amount of grass seed. . If a farmer has more land than he can plong! well or a piece of naturally moist land that it is not advisable t« plough, he cannot possibly do bette: that to adopt this plan of renewing the grass, as a full crop may be cu the following summer. There is no crop of more import ance to the farmer than grass, anc yet many neglect it most wofully We can double our hay crop at leas: if we but try. Think this ovér anc see what you can do on your owr farm. ' Feeding Young Chicks. We sprinkle a little clover chaff, Why should the farmer have the chicks dry. Sour milk used for the start will check white diarrhoea. Get the chicks into colony houses ana mm free range and fresh ground as oon as possible. Feed them from aoppers. They will grow faster and lo better as a rule. The average tmateur doesn't know as much about ceeding as the chicks themselves. «1 the grain food for the growing tock be composed principally of 'qual paris of eracked corn\ and vheat fed in hoppers. Feed the dry nash in the same way. Give .a mois- tened mash to the growing stock mce each day.
