The Colony Plan.
If you want vigorous chickens and
lions that lay do not overcrowd them.
Forty or fifty in one flock are sulli-
cient. If you have more than tills num­
tier by all means make a change, for
your chickens are probably costing you
more than they aro worth. If you do
not care to sell any of your birds then
start into the chicken business on the
colony plan. Divide your flock into
colonies of about forty fowls each and
build house« for them In different parts
of the farm. For Instance, if you have
one hen house on the east side of the
barn, put another house on the west
side. Then if yo-u have enough birds
put another house down by the calf lot
and another to the farther end of the
barn yard. A dozen different places will
suggest themselves If you look for lo­
cations on your farm.
If you have
made a failure in raising chickens or
your hens “don’t amount to much,’’
try this method. It will surprise and
please you. Your hens will be healthier,
will lay better and will require less
feed. The reason for this will he easily
seen when you have once tried It.
Chickens, or anything else ror that mat­
ter, cannot stand crowding. Also the
colony plan gives the fowls wider range
nnd encourages the birds to hunt for
their living.—Exchange.

The si id eas attending the use of
silage in the dairy business has created
much interest among Intef cattle men.
Silage furnishes a succulent food,
which is quite essential to the dairy
sow in keeping her digestive system in
good condition. The same will be found
true for the beef animal.
Twenty
pounds of silage per day will supply
all the bulk and water needed in a
fattening ration. The other roughage
may consist of either long fodder or
mixed hay.
The economy of using
silage for fattening purposes is well
brought out by Prof. A. M. Soule of
the Virginia station, who has stated the
following conclusions:
“There was a difference of from .3
to
of a pound of grain per head per
day in favor of the silage-fed cattle.
They also finished out better and* in
any discriminating market would cer­
tainly bring a better price than the
dry-fed cattle.
“Of the three forms of roughage fed,
the silage was eaten with the greatest
relish, and there was absolutely no
loss, whereas with the stover the loss
amounted to 13.5 per cent and with hay
4.1G ¡x‘r cent. Where a large number
of animals are fed this would make a
considerable difference in the cost of
ration, except that the shredded stover
can be utilized to advantage for bed­
ding.”
y
Silage ns It Is put up to-day is bet­
ter than when the practice was first
started. Good sllnge of corn is made
when the grain lias passed the milk
stage and has commenced to glaze a lit­
tle. Silage is made also from sorghum,
corn and cowpeas and pea vines.

Dean James E. Russell, of Columbia
University, New York. Doan Russell
was recently a visitor at the state col­
lege, and during his stay there ad­
dressed an assembly of the teachers of
the Inland Empire, who were attending
the teachers’ institute in Pullman. Rela

laid:

began to think she could make butter
and put it in the London market. The
question was. How could she overcome
the lead that New York already had in
the London markets! She sent men to
London to study out the ground; to find

about to give th m the required product.
