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. - 25CTS. THE COCHRAN JOURNAL, COCHRAN, GEORGIA. 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- Promising Applicants for Dairy. 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.
