FOR COUGHS AND COULS
CHICKENS NEED MEAT
Fowls Are Scavengers to a Very
Decided Degree.
Being Possessed of Insatiable and
Omnivorous Appetite and Power
ful Digestion Hen Will Eat
Everything She Meets.
(By PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
Chickens are scavengers to a very
decided degree. They choose their
food by sight alone as they are almost
entirely without the senses of smell
and taste, so far as we can tell. Like
most other young animals, however,
they do not know how or what to eat
until they have been taught, either by
older fowls, human efforts, or a series
of experiments on their own behalf.
Being possessed of an insatiable
and omnivorous appetite coupled with
a most powerful and dauntless diges
tion, the chicken eats everything she
meets that can possibly be digested
and much that cannot. Mighty few
victuals are missed by those bright
eyes, in spite of lack of auxiliary sen
ses. If a speck wiggles, jumps, crawls
or flies, It’s certainly alive, hence
good to eat. If it shines, she will take
a chance on it, and if it’s yellow, it
must be food. Anything ajecs, from
potato bugs to live 2,ice. from bird
Prize Winning Cockerel.
seed to whole corn in the cob. If it
happens to turn out a shingle nail,
pebble or piece of glass, it stays in
the gizzard and helpfe grind up the
rest of the food.
As chickens run loose on the farm
they pick up most of their living in
the fields. During the season of
heavy laying, the spring months, they
secure nearly as much Insect and an
imal food as vegetables or grain. The
eggs begin to diminish about the time
that the insect life retires for the win
ter. is this merely a coincidence, or
natural cause and effect?
It is undoubtedly true that the
shortage of flesh food will cut down
the egg yield and when the hens can
not find this animal food it must be
supplied to them. It is not possible
for the hen to produce eggs economi
cally from grain alone, because the
proportion of grain elements and meat
elements remains about the same in
eggs, regardless of the hen's diet, and
an all grain diet does not furnish meat
elements to balance Its starch and fat.
At least a twelfth of the ration should
be flesh food. The form it takes de
pends upon circumstances.
Table scraps may be sufficient for
a small flock, if there is meat in them.
Burn or bury any refuse that they
leave, day by day. Green cut bone,
that is, raw bone shaved to edible
size in a bone cutter is the best form
of flesh food. Feed a handful per hen
every other day.
Beef scrap, If not too fat. is an ex
cellent meat feed where green cut
bone cannot be used. It is fed in a
hopper or mixed with the ground
grain or mash. Meat meal Is the
same as beef scrap, but finer, and
better for use in dry mash, as the
fowls cannot pick it chit. To be sure
that these two packing house products
are good, drop a pinch into boiling
water, and if the odor is bad, send the
product back. Never feed chickens
putrid or rotten meat, as it gives them
limber neck or blind staggers.
Blood meal is a n.ost concentrated
animal food and it should be fed cau
tiously. principally to young chickens.
Granulated milk, or milk albumen is
a fine protein feed, but rather too ex
pensive to use except for very small
cjhieks. Fish scrap takes the place
of beef scrap in the east and south.
It contains valuable minerals as well
as the coveted protein.
Feed Fowls Meat.
Moat in some form must be fed to
poultry. They must have animal mat
ter. Fowls running on free ranges
where insects are plentiful obtain a
sufficient supply of animal matter, but
those kept in closer quarters must be
given this food In another form.
Finely chopped fresh meat is an ex
cellent bone and muscle builder for
the young stock, hut should not be
fed more often than two or three
times a week. Green bone, freshly
cut' just before feeding, is equally as
beneficial, but must also be fed with
judgment as to how much and how
often. Meat foods assist feather,
bone, muscle and comb development,
consequently too much is apt to cause
too much forcing along these lines.
Fresh Butter.
Butter will keep fresh for months
if put into clean jars and then packed
in charcoal. It should be set in a
cool place. -

MAKE SUCCESS WITH DUCKS
Dry Quarters at Night Must Be Pro
vided to Prevent Leg Weakness—
Proper Feed Essential.
Leg-weakness in ducks is often pro
duced by damp quarters at night. They
can stand all the water and rain dur
ing the day time that they may be
exposed to, but at night they must
have dry quarters.
The floors of the duck pen should
be heavily covered with straw. Leg
weakness from this cause is often a
cause of cramps and rheumatism. If
the trouble does not right itself in a
few days and the bird otherwise is in
a good condition it is best to kill and
eat It.
There is, however, another form of
leg-weakness which is more common.
This is the result of heavy feeding,
especially if the feed is too concen
trated.
A popular feed with duck-raisers Is
bran, cornmeal, meat scraps and green
feed or steeped clover or alfalfa.
If the birds are weak in the legs
upon lifting them up it is found they
are very heavy, reduce the quantity
of meat scraps and cornmeal and in
crease the supply of bran. Also add
powdered charcoal to the mash.
This, in a few days, generally ends
the trouble. Never feed whole grain,
especially corn. It is claimed that
leg-weakDess is more or less common
among ducks fed whole corn.—L. M. B.
DAIRY FARM IS PROFITABLE
Combined With Fruit and Poultry
Farmer Could Add Considerably
to His Annual Income.
Students of good farming every
where admit that dairy farming is the
most profitable of all farm work. In
connection with the dairy, fruit and
poultry could be raised, and they
would add a great deal to the income,
possibly the two combined, if worked
to the best advantage, would produce
as much income as the dairy. The
fruit and poultry could be raised on
the same land, which could also be
used for the young calves of the
dairy. By such a system of intensive
farming, the profits would be In
creased to the greatest possible ex
tent, considering the amount of land
used.
The man that keeps his Bhare of
dairy cows and manages them in the
right manner will never find his land
losing its fertility. As a means of
keeping up the fertility of the soil,
the dairy business cannot be beaten.
Only a small amount of the elements
are taken away from the soil with
out being returned, and that small
amount is very profitable.
It is all right to pasture the cows
in the corn field after you have re-

moved all the corn, but it is a highty
poor sense of business If you expect
them to keep up their milk flow on
corn fodder. Bring them in these
cold nights and give them a good
feed to supply what the corn fodder
does not. Remember that if a cow
once loses her flow’ of milk or it is
decreased in quantity she will rarely
regain it. Keep it up.
PROPER AGE FOR BREEDING
Pigs From Old Sows Weigh More
Than Those From Gilts—More
Bone and Growth Secured.
(By A. O. CHOATE.)
If we breed and raise our own sows
we always have to have a young sow
before we can have an old one, but as
a rule 1 breed from old sows and if I
have any that have not proven satis
factory 1 cull them out and select the
young gilts to take their places.
I find that the pigs from my old
sows always weigh from 25 to 50
pounds more at ten months old than
the pigs from the young sows. They
seem to have more hone and are more
growtliy. This is my reason for breed
ing from old sows.
There is one rule which I always
follow and that is, never to breed a
gilt so that she will have pigs until
she is at least a year old and I always
let them run with the rest of the
shoats until about two months before
I expect to sell the bunch and then
separate them.
As a rule this is about breeding
time when they will weigh about 175
pounds and not be fat. just in good
breeding order. f
My reason for keeping old breeding
sows is I can get more bone and more
growth on the litter and two litters a
year.
Market for Feathers.
There is a good market for all
kinds of feathers. Pick fowls dry and
sort feathers, the coarse jfom the
fine. They can easily be preserved
until enough, are collected to take to
market.
Cheap and Excellent.
Air-slaked lime, freely dusted every
where, is cheap and will destroy lice,
gapes and the roup.
