J find that chicks can stand quite a little cold when they are about feathered out. The slow feathering members of a flock are easily chilled and stunted and make it necessary to keep the brooder fires going for a long time. If the hens are in yards or on & driedâ€"up range they need green food the same as in winter. A row of Swigs chard on well fertilized soil will proâ€" duce an abundance of large suceulent leaves. It takes only a minute to gather a bushel of this green feed and it will help in stimulating egg proâ€" duction . Weeding and thinning the mangels is profitable work for a poultryman. They are Ane for laying hens in winter A study of the table will reveal the| fact that the cost of production was not a« high in the case of the tankage fed lot as with the skim milk fed lot, due to the lower cost of supplemental foed per 100 lbs. gain. On the other hand, the quantity of grain required per 100 lbs. gain in the skim milk fed lot was not so large, which may be explained by the fact that they were receiving, according to analysis, five pounds more digestible protein in the supplement fed per 100 lbs. gain than were the tankage fed lot or, in terms of dollars and cents, the 39 pounds less of grain per 100 pounds gain with a value of 63 cents lowors the cost of the supplement for the skim milk lot to $1.09 as compared with 70 cents for the tankage fel lot. However, the value of the extra 50 pounds in weight of the skim milk fed lot more than counterbalances the inâ€" creased cost of production giving an Increased profit of 50 cents over cost of feed in their favor. Where skim milk is available at ll lower price its superiority would be, much more in evidence. For example,| where it is available at 25 cents per| hundredweight cost of production! would be reduced to $6.37, and at 20i cents per hundredweight to $6.08 per ; 100 pounds gain as compared withi §6.27 for the tankage fed lot, and as a natural sequence profit on nlnll TANKAGE AS A HOG FEED puncuon with the factor that skim SUPPLEMENT. | milk is a great deal closer approach in During the winter of 192223 the‘ palatability to the milk of the sow partment of Animal Husbandry at no doubt accounts for a greater conâ€" s Ontario Agricultural Colle juumption of on Je se banigoca mt bvario M al College €ONâ€"| in yaing during the first three weeks cted an experiment to determine the for the skim milk lot. «ding value of tankage as a suppleâ€"| _ However, from the time when the imtal food !m.' growing hogs as comâ€"‘ tankage lot became accustomed â€"to red with skim milk.

That it is posâ€"| sible to balance a ration for growing! pigs by the addition. of tankage to home grown grains was clearly de-! monstrated since the tankage lot not only made persistent and economic; gains once they got started but were quite firmly fleshed as well as being uniform as before mentioned. ! 428 lb., $49.27 478 Ib., $54.97 $26.171 $31.91 Tankage .....$50 per ton 1 Skim milk ...30¢ per ewt. | over cost of feed would be increased | accordingly. |\ _ If one chooses to consider cost of | production only, the table would indiâ€" | cate that with skim milk at 80 cents |\per hundredweight tankage would be . worth $77.84 per ton, at 25 cents per hundredweight, $57,14, and at 20 cents per hundredweight $36.43 per land cheaper than sprouted oats.

Most people like to buy & | plump, healthy, smooth chicken, but | not one that is rolling in lumps of fat. All factors considered in this parâ€" ticular test, there is a decided indicaâ€" tion that where skim milk is not availâ€" able throughout the year in a more or leas constant quantity that tankage ranks very high as a substitute feed for skim milk to balance a ration for the growing hog in Canadian pork production. ton It is also evident from several years‘ work with tankage that care should be taken in feeding. It does not require 15 per cent. tankage to balance a ration composed of barley and oats. Pigs do not eat it readily if the proportion is too large. It has been found that from 8 to 10 per cent. is sufficient in a ration comâ€" posed of home grown grains ‘other than corn. Feeders also should be careful in starting pigs on tankage to make the change gradually. These precautions taken, tankage should give good results. 148 days 40.8 lbs. 188.3 lbs. 142.7 lbs. .986 lbs 1,478 lbs 121.5 lbs All the green foed we can raise for} the poultry will prove useful because | health and vigor are just as essential to hens as concentrated rations to force egg production.

Farming a half section of Saskatchewan land alone, Miss Anderson has proved how a woâ€" _man can make a successful pursuit of dairying. She naturally came to make a atuily of dairying in its various phases and rapidly became convinced that better things could be accomplished with finerâ€"bred cattle and with superior feed. She induced her father to purâ€" chase some grade Holstein cows and also to plant an area of his farm to sunflowers and corn for silo. Preâ€" parations had just been commenced for this better farming when the father died, and the girl was left with the entire operation of the farm, including the grain crop and the care of the dairy cattle. The girl determined to continue the operation of the farm herself, staking her chance of prosperity on the little herd of seven grade Holsteins. Each cow gets the attention of a world At this season it pays to inspect the nest every night at sundown and confine all the brooder hens. If found the first night they can usually be broken up in about three days. If they waste time setting in the hot hen house they injure the eggs laid by the other hens, and also become reduced in flesh and vigor so their return to laying condition is delayed. Experiments prove that good treatâ€"| ment of broody hens is the most proâ€"| fitable. Starving and frightening them is not good management. They need plenty of fresh cool water and about the same feed they would have for heavy laying. A broody coop with a slatted bottom will break up hens‘ quicker than a brood coop or a shipâ€" ping coop where the broody hen is often able to build some resemblance to a nest on the ground. The slatted broody coop can be suspended in the cool shade of a tree if the poultry house is too hot in summer. It is cruel to keep a mother hen in a brood coop with black roofing paper on top if the coop is without shade during the heat of the day. These small brood coops become very hot and too often the hens are neglected or given drinking water in small dishâ€" es that are promptly tipped over, leaving the hen to go thirsty the reâ€" mainder of the day. _ Metal brood coops are regular bake ovens when left in the sun. _ It seems that the moult can be deâ€" layed with many hens if they are ‘That Can be Turned Into a Moneyâ€"Making Social.

If ar{ had given this as a gift to the poor, he, as treasurer of the disci})le band, might have enriched himself. The disciples misunderstood Mary‘s gift, as Martha had misunderstood her sitting at the foot of Jesus. The disciples say "Why this waste?" as Martha said, in effect, "Why this idleness?" To the poor.

The one per cent. solution of blueâ€" stone (sulphate of copper), made by dissolving four ounces of the drug in a pint of hot water and then adding three galions of cold water, has given splendid results in the destruction of stomachâ€"worms of sheep and lambs and has also proved fairly effective for the tapeworms of these animals. The dose of the solution is one and oneâ€"half ounces for a lamb, and from that up to three and oneâ€"half ounces or a trifle more for an adult sheep.
