Discourage broody hens
There Are Many Waya of Breaking
Up Broodinesa—Coop With Slat*
tad Bottom Is Excellent.
The end of the breeding season
seems to be the appointed timfe tor
hens to get broody. Earlier la the
year when their services would have
been moat tfelcome great difficulty
was experienced in finding sufficient
to alt on the desired number of eggs.
August la too 1, late tor the utilising of
their bloodiness, unless a few duck
egga be set under some of them. At
this time, 'too, the scarcity of eggs
makes It the desire of all poultry
keepers to break up their "broodlea"
and have them laying again aa soon aa
possible.
There are many ways of breaking
hens of broodinesa, and the more bar
barous ones such as tying the hen up
by one leg, throwing cold water over
her, or making her atand in water
should be forgotten and practiced no
longer. The same and better results
can be obtained by more human meth
ods.
Placing, the hen In an ordinary coop,
with a slatted bottom, and suspending
the coop from the celling of the
Coop for Broody Hena.
scratching pen about a foot above the
floor by wires or chains attached to
the four eornerp has been found effl
cacloua. A gentle swing whenever en
tering the pen will soon make the
birds desirous of Joining their more
busy companions. A little Epsom
salts given In a mash and an abundant
supply of green food should be given.
All foods which have the slightest
tendency toward heat production, such
aa corn, meat scraps, eta, must be
withhold for a few days.
Take the bird In time.: It Is prao
tlcally impossible to break a hen
after allowing her to sit on a neat
for two or three day a.
It should always be remembered
that In the ordinary course of nature
a ben that has laid perslatently all
winter and spring, demands a short
rest, which broodlnesa gives.

Diarrhea Is one of the most com

of all agea, and when it makes its
first appearance, charcoal freely fed
may check or control the disorder. Di
arrhea may be due to food or drink

tion from aay cause. The first thing
to do when diarrhea makea Its ap

Much haa been said and written
about the Missouri mules. Envious

Is a marked resemblance In looks and
disposition, says an editorial In the

■lander, but we are proud of our long
eared hybrid justthe same. It Is noth
ing unusual for a good team of mulea
to sell at S2OO and upward, but when
they double up on that figure there Is
comment, even in Missouri. A span
of raw three-year-olds sold at the

world's record bad been established.
A yearling mule sold for $660, more
money than had ever been paid tor a
mule of that age before. 9
Probably just aa valuable animals
are raised In other states, but they
lack the prestige, and the Mistourl
farmer get* the cash. Imagine a
Kaneun, pr a man from lowa or Illi
nois selling a yearling mule for over
half a thouaand dollars. The Idea I*
preposterous.
A mule buyer purchased these fancy

on bl* Investment, and It is reason
able to suppose that he knows bis
business. When you come to think
the matter over the price ia not ex

tpan will be good for 20 yeara of serv

BONEMEAL GOOD FOR SWINE
Good Results Obtained at Missouri
and Nebraska Stations—Strength
ening to the Bonee.
All kinds of bonemeal are used In
the manufacture of fertilisers, but
not all kinds are suitable for feed for
awtpe. Bonemeal from a glue factory
which haa gone through the process in
which acid was uaed la not aultable
feed. But any bonemeal, especially
green bone that Is ground flnely
enough, may be fed. Steamed bone
meal Is good.
At the Missouri station bonemeal
waa fed with good results.. About an
ounce of meal waa fed to each hog per
day.
At the Nebraska station four lota of
piga were fed to determine the value
of wheat ahort, tankage and steamed
ground bone aa supplemental to corn
meal. The boga ware paatured on
alfalfa, and for thia reason the lot
fed on corn alone made about aa tatie
factory gain aa any, although the lot
which waa fed bonemeal in addition
to the corn had the strongest bone.
Shorta strengthen the bone some,
and tankage with corn produced
much stronger bone than corn alone.
Where mixed rations were given, or
■kim-mllk or good pasture, alt of
which supply aah material. It la
doubtful that bonemeal la of much
value ether than for the purpose of
strengthening the bones.
Ration for Lamba.
The best ration for the lambs will
not be the best ration for the ewes.
Nevertheleea a fairly good though
rather ezpenalve feed mixture for
both of them will be oats, four parts;
bran, four parte; corn, three parta;
oil meal, two parta. If It were possi
ble to separate the ewea from the
bun be, It might be adrleable to give
Ute lamba a larger proportion of corn
and the ewea a a mailer proportion of
corn. Enough grain should be given
to keep the ewee in good fleab, but not
tat. The roughage ration for theee
•beep la not of first-class quality, and
therefore it will be neceaaary to give
a good grain ration.

KEEP TANKS FROM FREEZING
Good Sized Copper Bucket, Inverted,
Allowing Air to Remain, Will
Prevent All Trouble.
A (rest many water tanks are ra
ined each year by the expansion of the
water when freeilng In severe weath

writes Ira R. Hicks In the Popular
-Mechanics, Is to procure a good-sited

Ing air to remain In the bucket. When
the water freeses the extra preaaure
that would otherwise be exerted on
the walls of the tank, Instead acta on
the air In the bucket, which Is com

An Iron or tin bucket would soon ruat

It Is best to use a copper bucket.
TEACHING A COLT TO WORK
*
Walking Oalt Most Eeeentlal In
Heavy Work, la Moet Often Neg
lected In Training.
Not enough care la given to teach
ing colta to work. We often bear of
breaking colta; but there la little
breaking to do with the modern draft
colt. They do need to be taught a
few things, such aa backing with a
load and standing quietly when
stopped How many accidents occur
from the team starting befere they
are told to start, and It can be avoid
ed usually by proper training.
The walking gait is most eeeentlal
in heavy work horsee, and yet ft la
often neglected in the training, says a
writer In an exchange. 80 many young
horses know nothing about backing,
for little attention Is paid to this ac
complishment In horsee. and yet tt
Is often very neceesary that the team
understands how to place the wagon
In position In this manner. It should
be done. Jiot by pulling the animals
back by main strength, but by talk
ing to them, accompanied by a gentle
pull on the reins.
A colt properly trained la worth
considerably more than one with little
or no training on account of greater
ease In handling, and a great amoaat
of work accomplished with lees risk
to both driver and the animals. It
would be time well spent If mora at
tention were given to tbqpe matters
by farmerr and horae dealers.

JUMPING INTO A FIRE NET
There Is Ne Danger to Bones If Yew
Only Manage to De It the
Right Way.
At a reoeat fire la the Coroaa He-
Met of New Tork, says the la of
that etty, Mrs. Martha Henalag
lamped from her rooms on the third
story of her res|oenoe lato a Are net
with her baby la her anas. She was
slightly hart, hat the baby was unin
jured. The bystanders marveled at
ths happy so ding of the feat, hot tha
firemen declared there was not the
least Aanger.
f The fact Is that the set will savs
persons absolutely without a scratch
provided the jumper does not lose his
head. Somehow the fear that hones
will be broken seems to eaase ths
lumper to tarn or twist la such a man
ner that Injury is boaad to snsae.
Others who nadartake tha high win
dow leap with ooußdeooe la the re
sult are rarely even Jarred badly.
At a recent fifty-sixth street tene
ment Are in New Tork that resulted
in more of a smoke alarm than a
blase a maa and his wife ware seen
to get out oa the ledge of a fifth
story window. The firemen told them
to wait a tpomeat, that there might
be no need to Jamp. The maa erled
that they were eaffoeatlag aad must
Jamp.
The firemen stretched the set aad
shouted tor then to poise themselves
properly and Jump oae at a time. Bat
even while the firemen were abort
ing the Instructions the oouple klsasd
each other, looked arma aad leaped
They came down straight and .sara as
a plummet right lato the net They
rebounded aboat fifteen feet aad fell
/In the net again la a sitting poo tare.
The firemen let them gently down
to the sidewalk. They still sat there
looking at eaeh other incredulously.
Tbsy were told there was not even a
good fire to Justify their Jamp. It
had all been smoke from a smoldering
lot of rags and othsr rubbish. The
man and wife heard the news with ex
pressions of wonder, thaakfalasss and
condsmnetlon of their silliness.
Jumps of sight aad alas stories
without la Juries hare been morlil.
Ths makeup of the Jumper is what
counts. The firemen have to be pre
pared for aU kinds. Sometimes they
hare to shift a tow laches quickly be
cause of the bad Judgment of djptaaoe
shown by the Jumper. But In most
eases ths Isap to the net aaras Ufa.
