While we're liable t’ burn more coal

When a farmer sees th’ first robin

But t’ return t’ th’ first robin. Na
ture, in spite o’ her celebrated repu
tation fer lookin’ out fer over-buddy,
seems t’ have given th’ robin th’ worst
of it. Unequipped fer anything cold

th’ forecaster of a blizzard than th’
dandelion. Unaggressive an’ meek
he’d sooner starve’ than question th’
priority o’ th’ chesty English sparrow.
Th’ only thing a robin ’ll attack in
or out o' its lair is th’ blind, helpless,
squirmin’ angle worm. Yit nature

from iiis natural enemies he invariably
selects a buildin’ site within easy reach
o’ tli’ family cat, or in th’ roof gutter,
where lie an’ his family fall an easy
prey t’ th' April freshet.
But th’ amount o’ publicity th’ first
robin gits is enough t’ make a forin ac
trus close her American tour. He’s
th’ only bird that gits his name on th’
editorial page. Long before he gits
fairly balanced on th' bare twigs of an
apple tree his arrival is heralded
broadcast by th’ nearest newspaper
an’ discussed in every home.
How many times have we drawn th’
curtain in th’ mornin’ an’ looked out
upon a bleak, snowy March landscape
an’ beheld th’ first robin with a sad,
far-away look in his eye, an' wonderin’
what kind of a meteorological disturb

EGG PRODUCTION DEPENDS MUCH ON FEED
PRIZE-WINNING WHITE WYANDOTTES.
Systematic feeding is just as neces
sary in the poultry yard as it is in the
steer pen or hog lot. G. W. Hervey
of the Missouri college of agriculture,
gives the following hints whicli may
help relieve the egg shortage:
Grain for chickens should be clean
and free from mold. Moldy grain will
often cause death or result In any one
of the several diseases common to the
digestive tract. Birds affected be
come weak and inactive and often
manifest an intense thirst.
There is always danger of under
feeding. The birds should go on the
roosts at night with crops well filled.
Only a little grain need be scattered
in the straw litter each morning to in
duce exercise during the day. The
total amount of grain to be supplied
daily will depend largely upon the
palatability of the dry mash which is
fed as an adjunct to the grain ration
and also the housing facilities. If the
dry mash is not relished or if none is
fed at all, a greater amount of grain
is required to satisfy the appetite of
the birds and at the same time they
cannot utilize the feed efficiently for
production purposes. When insuffi
cient protection is given, especially
during the winter months, by undue
exposure of houses or by allowing
draughts, more grain is required to
keep up the body heat.
RIGHT FEED FOR EGGS
Methods Employed at Nebraska
University Farm.
Grain Thrown Into Deep Litter In
Morning to Keep Fowls Busy
Scratching Electric Lights
Found to Be Useful.
The following methods and feeds are
used at the Nebraska university farm
at Lincoln iu connection with the poul
try department:
During the winter months the birds
receive as their first feed in the morn
ing a scratch feed, such as follows:
Two pounds of cracked corn, two
pounds of kafir two pounds of wheat,
two pounds of oats, one pound of bar
ley. This is thrown into a deep litter
and in such amounts as will keep the
birds hungry and working for food
throughout the morning.
About ten o’clock a feed of sprouted
oats is given. Cabbage, mangels and
green alfalfa are sometimes used in
addition to this green feed, in small
qualities, to offer variety.
At noon a very light feed of wet
mash is given. It is made from the
following mixture and mixed with
skim milk: Two pounds of cornmeal
feed, two pounds of bran, two pounds
of white middlings, two pounds of
ground oats, two pounds of meat
scrap, two pounds of corn gluten feed.
This is fed in troughs of sufficient
length so that each bird has enough
room.
About four o’clock in the afternoon
a liberal feeding of grain is given.
Special attention is paid to giving the
birds all they want for the night feed.
The poultry-house is equipped with
electric lights, which are turned on
at five o’clock in the morning and
again at four o’clock in the afternoon,
and the birds thereby have a longer
day in which to work. It has been
found a paying investment to have
lights in the house for the early morn
ing and night feeds.
A dry mash, composed of the same
ingredients and proportions as above
mentioned for wet mash, is placed be
fore the birds for free access. Grit,
oyster shell and charcoal are also
available in a hopper.
KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
If Roosts, Nests, Etc., Are Made So
That They Can Be Moved Clean
ing Is Made Much Easier.
Keep the house clean at all times.
If all the equipment, such as roosts,
nests, etc., are made so that they can
be easily removed, the cleaning will be
made much easier. Use a good disin
fectant around the roosts and nests
occasionally, and whitewash the house
thoroughly at least once a year.
A good house is a paying invest
ment.
It is questionablewhether chickens
may be overfed. An improper bal
ance, however, between mash and
grain wall often result in an exces
sive deposition of fat, so much in fact
that the function of the reproductive
organs is Interfered with and the bird
does not lay. It is believed that lay
ing hens should cat half as much mash
as they do grain but experience, based
on year-round feeding, shows that the
dry mash consumption is only about
one-third of the total ration. A wet
mash consisting of bran and sour
milk may lie fed two or three times
weekly during the late summer and
during the winter as an appetizer, and
in this way the total amount of mash
eaten may be increased.
The dry mash fed in the University
of Missouri pens consists of equal
parts by weight of grain, shorts, corn
meal and meat scrap. If sour milk
is given the meat is not necessary.
This mash admits easy mixing, is
bulky and has a sufficient protein con
tent of an animal source to make it
practical for production. This mash
may be fed in a self-feeding hopper
to which the birds have free access.
If fed in this manner they will, to a
large degree, gauge their -own ration,
and-at the same time considerably less
labor Is required than if the mash Is
thrown into troughs each morning.
HABIT OF FEATHER PULLING
Generally Develops in Winter When
Fowls Are Crowded Into Houses
Too Small.
Feather pulling or eating may not
be so bad as egg eating, but it is an
noying, and is n habit with which
most poultry keepers have more or
less trouble. During the fall and win
ter, when birds are not getting suffi
cient exercise and are crowded into
small houses, this habit is most likely
to develop.
Such habits as egg and feather eat
ing are usually the fault of the own
er. When birds are not overcrowded
in large flocks, and are forced to work
all day for all the feed they get, it is
seldom that either habit appears. As
a rule, a feather-eating bird is a poor
layer, and the quicker you can rid
your flock of such a pest the better.
One feather eater in a flock will cause
no end of trouble, and in a few weeks
will muke all the birds show unsight
ly bare backs.
To stamp out the habit, get rid of
the hen that is causing the trouble,
supply the flock with plenty of animal
matter, such as meat and green-cut
hone, make the birds exercise after all
the food they get.
As a treatment, apply an ointment
of some bitter mixture —quinine or
aloes mixed with lard will do the
work. A solution made by boiling to
bacco in water will be found satis
factory. The feather-eating bird will
quit after one or two of these bitter
doses.
GREEN FEEDING IN WINTER
Experience in North American Con
test Disproves Idea That Suc
culent Feed Is Necessary.
A great deal of stress has been laid
on succulent green feeds as an Im
portant part of an egg ration, hut the
experience in the North American egg
laying contest seems rather to disprove
that idea. No green feed is furnished
except that which grows in the yards
during the summer, yet the winter lay
ing lias been very satisfactory. In a
supplementary test the poorest laying
pen consumed the most green feed and
the highest laying pen the least. There
is no doubt that green feed is good for
poultry. The question is whether it is
essential to heavy egg production In
winter, and the experiments tend to
prove that it is not. The reason hens
that consume a great deal of bulky,
green feed do not lay as well as those
that eat more concentrated feed is
easily seen. Because of its hulk the
green feed fills up and satisfies, but
does not contain the high percentage
of nutrients that dry feeds do. In or
der to become high-power layers, hens
must huve high-power feed, so unless
the bulky, green feed is supplemented
by highly concentrated feeds, having
the food elements that green feed
lacks, it will not furnish the excess of
nutriment that is needed to make eggs
