Pay More Attention to Feeding Poultry flock With the finning of cold weather and higher prices for eggs, careful poul trymen pay more attention than ever to the feeding of their flocks, so egg production may start early and he maintained as long as possible. To help meet the demand for information j on feeding, the college of agriculture. at Ithaca lias published a bulletin con taining the rations It hus found by ex periment to be tile most efficient. Di rections for the use of these feeds and for the management of (locks are also discussed, two things which, in the words of the bulletin, are “as im portant as tliAiixtures themselves." The amount of feed depends upon the appetites of the birds, tand no | definite rule for, feeding will apply to! nil conditions. Scant feeding in the morning iffid at noon, followed by a heavy feeding'of grnin in the lit ter of the lien house early enough so the! birds will find it before dark, lias given best results, tireen feed, oyster shell, and clean, fresh, pure water are also essential. Kipial parts by weight otnensh and grain are fed; the former is made as; follows for laying liens: 100 pounds: each of wheat bran, wheat middlings, | eornmeal, ground oats or ground liar- j ley, and meat setup, and three pounds j of salt. Tile grain mixture consists of, 500 pounds of cracked corn, liOd pounds ! each of Invr'ey and wheat, and 100; pounds of heavy oats. A copy of tlie bulletin will lie sent j to those who write to the college at | Ithiica for K 45. Important to Note Size and Shape of All Eggs For those who are shipping eggs to special markets, it Is important to watch the size and shape of the eggs, as well as to see how many the hens are laying and what color they are. Too long an egg crushes*.from the top In shipping, and cuts down the re ceipts over a period of months; too wide an egg crushes from the side. CustouScPS demand a fair amount of uniformity in size and shape, because it makes more attractive selling. They are willing to pay more for such qual ity. "The new breeder of today can make more money by breeding foi egg quality than for more eggs," says t.n eastern authority. “Many who go in for producing more eggs overlook so many tilings. 1 recently saw a poultrymun who had a number of hens with records up to IKK) eggs per year eaeh, and lie had a Dock of 200 aver age, hut of nearly 100 eggs I saw, from as many different hens, not over 20 would pass for fancy eggs' on the market and bring top price. Some ; would simply have gone as misrel .animus, egg?; they were too small and t lifted.'*' Day of Definite Methods. The. day for haphazard methods ’1m j breeding poultry hu,s glassed into the pages of history. Tliis is the day of dettnlte, accurate methods. The mod ern pAiltryinan must know definitely the sure and dam of the birds ha i raises if he is to lime their exacts pedigree. Pullets lay in Winter. Young stock tltat begins to lay It. ‘.he fail of the year will usually Jay' throughout the winter, the peritiii when eggs are highest in price. Heir.ie is 'beginning to suspect that ! ei-at ion is about as unprofitable as 1 invasion.—Dubuque American Tri- ' bunc. » Standard Varieties of Our American Chickens (Fr«p»r«d by th«* United State* Department of Af ricultur*.) The standard varieties of chicken* belonging to the American clar-s are de scribed in detaH In a recent revision af one of the series of bulletins by the United States Department of Agricul ture under the general title, Standard Varieties of Chickens. The breeds now classed as American are the Plymouth Hock, Wyandotte, Java, Dominique, Uhode Island Red, Rhode Island White, Buckeye, Jersey Black Giant, and Chnnteclur. The chickens of these several breeds »re commonly called general purpose fowls as they are usually good egg pro ducers and yield carcasses well suited to the table. They are especially well suited for farm flock and Include jotue of the most popular varieties in the country. Birds of this type are in great favor with poultry packers. They lay brown-shelled eggs and have yellow skins. La size most of these breeds are In termediate between the smaller egg breeds, such as the Leghorns, and the larger meat’ breeds, such as the? Brahe mas. The Jersey Black Giants, how ever, are about as large as the meat breeds. Most of these American breeds are less active than the strict ly egg breeds, but they are more ac tive than tlie heavy kinds tfUd are good foragers. The Chant order, wtdeh is a recent addition to the Standard, is veell adapt ed to extremely cold regions because of its small comb and wuttles and Its heavy, closely feathered plumage.

Trace Poultry Diseases ' to Dampness in Houses An w inter approaches more trouble will be experienced in the health of the fowls than during the summer months. It Is true that the young chicks are often overcome with bowel trouble and diarrhea, by cold, damp ness and poor feeding. Scaly legs, which are a scourge ih many poultry yards, can be traced absolutely to filth,- damp quarters and neglect,, Uoup, ranker, consumption and sore eyes may all be traced to dampness. coW draughts blowing’through the houses and unnatural exposure to Inclement weather. Nothing causes the ailment as quickly as damp, unhealthy poul try houses In which the fowls are, com pelled to stay. Diphtheria, canker and roup are nil kindred diseases, which can directly be I darned upon those having charge of the fowls, it fnl birds have com fortable, dry houses, properly venti lated, with saalj-ataf conditions, there is little danger of tliese ailments, un less they are caught by coming In con tact with other ailing birds. Itheu nlatlsm, gout nnd leg weakness are usually blamuble upon hereditary con ditions, Inbreeding or unhealthy, dump quarters. Brains is one thing that can't be syndicated. earthly>emaihs of - J. 1- ' V- . tho One; Hpss Shay With only the axles and wheels anfd thinds.

ABmtt the" size of a cat, the creature - are "1 to ris- to r br ight of several yards by i tiding thhr stomachs until they ajv pear like smalt balloons. Off the ground, they remain either motkinioss or slowly ] paddle themselves along with their vr.'bbed feet, not unlike the flight of a 1 dragon fly. They have bills like ducks. * * * Fighting Fire with Steam Saves Many Oil Wells In the great, oil fields of the West, where the ever-present danger of fire haunts thr drillers, steam has l>ecn found to 1st one of the most effective means of combating th' flames. As a flash of lightning, a tspari, f’">m a niece of metal, or a lighted match, may start a blare that will result in the destruction of millions of dollars’ worth of property, ceaseless guard is maintained over the vycfls. Nece*thc less, tires are fre quent,, and butteries of steam boilers are kept; in readiness to fight them, Its water would only aid their spread. When a gusher turns into a volcano of liquid fire, it is surrounded by a sand embankment. to •i.tch t.hr 1 taking oil; then huge boiler?.are brought up, and jets r,f live steam arc turned into the heart ot the flames, slowly smothering them. Useful Clamp for btepladder A sample and useful clamp for the step ladder, that serves as a rest for holding windows while setting the panes or paint ing, can be made from two pieces of oak jil-tuf 2Vi ft. long, with a bolt pawing through the center of both as shown, a w mguut is provided on the bolt. It is not necessary to remove tho wingnut to attach the clamp. / Merely push the clamp over one leg of the stcpladdcr from the inside, and then over the other leg, after which the wingnut is tightened. This tool can be used equally well on a common ladder. * * * > Filling Auto Vacuum Tank If a funnel and small gasoline can arc at hand, the simplest way to fill the auto mobile vacuum tank is to remove the plug at the top of the tank and pour in tho gasoline. If no funnel is available, tho best method of filling the tank quickly is as follows: Close the throttle and shut off the ignition, then press the starter switch. It may be necessary, with some starters, to switch on the ignition for a moment, in order that the starter gears may mesh. The action of the motor will then cause enough suction to draw' the gasoline from the rear tan)* into the vacuum tank Tho throttle mast be kcjit closed, as othenviae the engine simply draws most of the air through the carburetor, and not enough through the vacuum tank. * FANNING’S JUST RECEIVED 125 FAMOUS 6121 CURLEE GUARANTEED 100 % All Wool Serge Suits THE EASIEST SOLD SUIT ON THE MARKET^ This suit & carried in all models—Slims, Stouts, Regulars, Young Mens, Short Slims, Stout, Long Stouts.
