PRACTICAL ADVICE ABOUT
DIVERSIFIED FARMING
Spurs For Poultrymen.
Do not let very fat old hens be un
necessarily exposed to the hot sun for
want of shade and then wonder why
they drop dead from apoplexy.
Presumptious ambition to raise
many birds before success has been
attained with few has wrecked many
who might have done well with poul
try if they had started more cau
tiously.
What poultry pick up on the wide
range found on the farm and the
good exercise they get when roaming
about enable the farmer to raise
poultry more cheaply than anybody
else can.
Some who think they would like to
have oyster shells for their poultry,
but who do not like to buy them, can
pick up clam shells along streams and
pound them up into something quite
as good as the prepared oyster shells.
The time is upon us when eggs are
expected to be low in price. They
are just as wholesome and nutritious
now as when they are worth four
times as much per dozen, but the av
erage person begins to think he does
not like eggs about the time their
price falls. This is a queer freak of
wide proportions, feeling that eggs
are more desirable when they will
sell for the most on the open market.
Waterglass is the best medium for
keeping eggs in good condition for
some months that the farmer can use,
but packing eggs in bran or salt is
likely to be more convenient for the
farmer. Either will keep eggs in fair
condition for some time if the eggs
are strictly fresh to begin with, but
the salt or the bran should extend at
least two inches beyond the eggs on
all sides, the top and bottom included.
While eggs are cheap those who
wish to economize in the securing of
food may feel that eggs are being
used on the home table so much as
to become tiresome. They should
consider in how many ways eggs can
be prepared for the table, and how
different they will look and taste
when prepared differently. When
using meat that is not salted there
is more or less danger that its con
dition will not be the best in hot
weather, and digestive troubles may
result. But if eggs are bad, it can
be noticed before they are put on the
table, and they are to that extent to
be preferred.
Apoplexy is more likely to appear
among poultry in summer than at
other seasons. Extreme heat may
cause it. Its immediate cause Is a
rush of blood to the brain, when a
blood vessel is burst. Over-eating or
sudden fright may cause it also. If
an affected fowl is taken in time,
treatment may help, but usually it is
too late for treatment before the trou
ble is noticed. The treatment is
bleeding from the under-side of the
wing, but the bird should not be bled
to death. A cool place where the
fowl will be quiet should be used to
keep the bird in after treatment.
If it is desired to dust a large num
ber of chicks that are at least as large
as quails it may be quickly done by
a simple arrangement that any intel
ligent man—and many women —can
make at home. Use a barrel that has
two fairly good heads, cutting an
opening in the end about eight by
ten inches, and arrange hinges or
buttons to fasten back the part that
is removed. The chicks are put in
the barrel through this hole, some in
sect killer is put in the barrel, and
the barrel is rolled over the ground.
The chicks will flutter and stir up the
powder till it penetrates every part
of their feathers. There should be a
few holes bored in each end of the
barrel to yuit air and prevent the
chicks With
such an may
be given at intervals of a week about
three times, so as to kill lice that
may hatch from time to time, and
the work will he quickly and thor
oughly done. Rolling the barrel
about a minute is enough.—Progres
sive Futrmer.
Feeding Beef Calves.
A. G. P., Jeffersonton, writes: We
have a bunch of pure bred Angus
calves which we. wish to keep growing
and in nice shape to sell as breeders.
They are five to six months old and
weigh about 500 pounds. Have been
running with the dam so far, but we
will wean them and put them v on
grass in a week or two and want V)
feed, so they will suffer as little set
back as possible when the milk sup
ply is cut off. What grain ration
would you suggest and how much?
We are now feeding them four pounds
per head per day of a mixture of
equal parts of cracked corn, crushed
oats and wheat bran.
Answer: It is a very difficult mat
ter to wean calves that have been
raised on the dam without their suf
fering any setback. oppor
tunity to do this is wTienfLey are go
ing on grass which pr<*J des them
with a succulent, nutritioiY, and eas
ily digested food, and one Miat keeps
the digestive system in fine Ikndition.
Do not turn them on grass \soon,
u.s young and watery grass ]p\. A un
satisfactory food, and particularly for
young calves. You have acted wisely
in teaching the calves to eat grain
freely, and do not think of any sug
gestions that can be made for improv
ing the ration, though the whole
grain can be fed with equally good if
not better results than the crushed
oats and corn. The mixture suggest
ed is a very good one, indeed, and
should be fed ah libitum, though care
should be taken to see that the calves
do not eat too much. It will be neces
sary to continue the grain ration and
keep them on the best pasture avail
able to keep them from “going back.”
As to the amount of grain that
should be fed per day, that must be
determined by the individual feeder
and by the individual capacity of the
animals. The vigilant feeder can de
termine this point by watching the
calves daily. A little oil or linseed
meal might be added to the ration
with advantage, from one-quarter to
one-half pound per day being suffi
cient. A tablespoonful of dried blood
will also prove helpful at times. These
condimental foods supply protein in
considerable amounts, and have a
toning effect on*the system, generally
speaking. Dried blood in particular
has been found quite useful as a cor
rective for white scours, and this
point should be guarded carefully if
the calves are weaned suddenly and
put immediately on grass. If the
weaning process can be made gradu
ally and the calves taught to eat
some bright hay and the grain ration
suggested they are not so likely to
suffer a setback as if they are cut off
from the milk supply all at once.—
Professor A. M. Soule.
Plant Ensilage Corn.
When I was growing corn for the
silo, and annually putting up 600 tons
of it, I always planted my silage corn
in July, for there it followed a crop
of clover hay on the same land and,
in the cultivation of the crop, clover
seed were sown again, so that on that
rich bottom land I generally got two
tons or more of clover hay and twenty
tons of corn silage every year. I was
engaged in cleaning the bottoms of
weeds and making manure for the
hills, for with this annual treatment
there was hardly any such thing as
exhalation of that bottom land where
the was nearly ten feet deep, be
ing the accumulation on an old mill
pond bottom where the stream had
cut a deep channel.
On any moist lowland of good fer
tility July is early enough to plant the
ensilage corn. It then comes in at a
comparatively leisure season, where
a man grows no tobacco or cotton,
and even the cotton will not be push
ing much early in September when
the corn is ready.—W. F. Massey.
Angora Goats.
There are four points in favor of
Angora goats: (1) They will im
prove pasture by killing weeds and
brush. (2) They yield fleeces of fair
value. (3) The flock increases with
reasonable rapidity. (4) They sup
ply the land with very good fertilizer
and distribute it evenly, there being
no large piles of it. Sheep are the
only other animals that can compete
with the goat in regard to point one
and two; and, as for improving a
pasture, particularly if it is has much
brush in it, the do not compete
vere strongly.
Raise Pure-Bred Cattle.
If our farmers will raise pure-bred
stock and feed liberally, judiciously
and regularly, make and save their
own fertilizers and raise stock enough
to warrant slaughter houses to come
into their midst, they will find a good
paying market for good beef stock;
otherwise raise, feed and ship in car
lots to New York, Baltimore or Chi
cago at profitable prices.—Progres
sive B'armer.

When to Cut Alfalfa.
There is one especial point that we
wish to call attention to in cutting
alfalfa* That is, pay no attention to
the blossoming period, but look for
the sprouting of the next growth at
the root crown. If the sprouts for
the next growth are out, cut the alf
alfa whether blossoms appear or not.
If they are not out, do not cut it.—
Hoard’s Dairyman.
>
Cabbage Worms.
The treatment for cabbage worms
is to dust the cabbage while the dew
is on the plants with a mixture of
eighty parts flour or lime to one part
of Paris green. As far as my experi
ence goes it seems that heads in
which worms have worked rather
free'y show a decided tendency to rot
during hot weather.
Good For Seed.
Treating the seed of corn, okra,
watermelons and other seeds a coat
of coal tar and then rolling them in
dry ashes or dry earth will keep
everything from disturbing them in
the ground.
