EIGHT PAGES. DAILY EAST ORKGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, FEIlIll'ARY 23, 1910 PAGE THREE, FACTS FOR FARMERS Tilings Worth TlUiiklnir About. A gjood many farmers who neglect ed to plant an orchard and shado trues while they we.ro young waBte more time now wishing thi;y had them than it would have taken to plant them In the beginning. Worrying over mistakes has caused a man to lose a crop many a time. After a mistake is made worrying won't help It, but a little healthy ef fort In the right direction often will. It Is about as profitable to try to do two things at once as it Is to try to rale two crops on the same piece of ground at the same time. After I have watched a man teach a calf to drink out of a pall I know that I really know him. It all the fence corners and waste potH now given over to worthless weeds were planted In fruit trees the face of the landscape would be chang ed for the better. No man can keep a stiff upper lip If his moral backbone Is limber. Too Much Corn. Poultry raisers should avoid feed ing too much corn, as it has a tend ency to make the hens too fat and ause them to be shy In egg produc tion. Neither should hot bran mash be fed, as It makes loafers out of the hens. The best way to feed grain is to throw It In litter on the floor and make the chickens scratch for It, as this gives them the necessary exer cise. Bran, cornmeal and meat scraps or meat meal make a good combina tion to feed In a hopper, that all be ginners In the chicken business should have, as It prevents waste. The rueful Silo. The silo Is a text which 1s always nwplrlng to the man who knows Its Talue and it cannot be preached from too often. Wherever It Is seen It de notes good farming. It solves the problem of turning Into the highest efficiency that portion of the corn crop which falls to reach the desired maturity as feed. The silo can be filled at less expense than the same amount of dry feed can be cared for and U makes better feed. This Is. af ter all the main point to consider. Dalrvmen hnve learned that when cows are kept In the stable for five to seven, months they cannot return as satisfactory profits If they are con fined to a ration of dry feed slone. Ensllago gives succulence and Is very much easier to masticate and digest thsn dry com fodder. There Is also a great saving of labor In feeding en silage, over feeding dry corn fodder. The Initial expense keeps many a si lo from decorating the landscape but It Is good praetlre to economize' In other directions to provide for It. Once built and rightly built It wIU not have to bo renewed for many years, so the cost Is spread out so thinly that It cuts no great figure In the business of feeding. 8. C. Miller. hen produces annually a crop equal In value to that' of the winter and spring wheat, and three times more valuable than tho ol clip of tho country. It is equl to 2 1-2 times the value of the potato crop and largely In excess of tho farm value of all the oats raised In the country. No flock of hens can do their best on a one grain diet, they must have a variety. Let bran be the foundation, cotton-seed meal one-tenth and then add anything you have handy for a mash and be sure they have green feed and some meat. When hatching duck eggs under a hen the eggs should be sprinkled with water occasionally as In hatching duck eggs require more moisture than hen eggs. Hot mash should not be fed to chickens; It overheats thorn and the cooling off that follows makes them liable to catch cold. The scratching litter on the floor of the chicken house should be chang ed often In order that It may be kept clean and dry. Keep a record of tho number, of eggs your hens lay In winter, and save the eggs of the best layers for hatch ing. Like begets like. When the sun shines, open the win dows on the south side of the chicken house and let the sunlight In. Texas Is credited with having more turkeys than any other state In the union. Great is Texas. Non-producing hens in a flock eat just as much grain and other feed as the good layers. By watching the hens and keeping tab on them In their laying season, the good layers can be discovered, and then you can cull the flock, selling the drones , and killing them for your own use. Egg shells are largely lime, and hens can't make good shells unless fid food that has plenty of lime In It. " It never pays to market a fowl that Is poor In flesh; always fatten them well before selllnr. Do nSt forget that chickens need green food to take the place of green grass, etc., of which they consume great quantities In summer. This may be supplied In the form of cab bage leaves, apples, mangelwurzels and steamed green alfalfa. Always sun the Incubator three or four days before putting the eggs In. so that It will bo properly warmed through and through and the regula tor in perfect working order and properly adjusted. It costs no more to keep a pure bred hen than It does to keep a mon grel, and the pure-bred Is twice as profitablo the the only kind. Rals pure-breds only. It is a bad Idea to change the loca tion of hens when they are laying; It cuts down egg production. Let well enough alone. Onions chopped fine once a week makes a fine tonic ration that helps keep broilers lively and healthy. PRIESTS ARE SMOOTH. v They Know How to Work tho '-Faithful" Ones In Money Matters, Paris. llnfluence wielded over the rr-liKlously faithful has played an Im portant part In events accompanying troubles of the dissolved congrega tions Radicals and socialists pre dict that approximately 10,000 would be netted by the state because of the dissolution, and It was hoped to pro vide old age pensions to a greater or lesser extent aH a result. Seven hundred congregations, ac cording to official pronunclnmento, were to be "relieved of their vast, Ill acquired .and Ill-used wealth." The liquidation of this supposed hoard was begun eight years ago. There still remain about 800 liquidations to be effected, and the results, while still more or less Indefinite, are distinctly disappointing. A ridiculous overesti mate of the wealth of the French con gregations had been made, and this accounts for the disappointment. . Charges of graft are now making j frequent appearance. Reports made j under parliamentary auspices give i strong hints of over-charges made by : officials, particularly in the shape or; large bills which have no foundation in fact. Greater than this, however, i has been the loss occasioned by priests j and monks, who have advised their parishioners to refrain from bidding at sales, and have then bought In the I property thempolves at low figures. The Rural Route Auto. The little mall wagon is doomed to go the way of all other slow-moving contrivances. It Is too slow fortwen tteth century people Our mall must be delivered more quickly, we want what we want when we want It, not the day after or even the hour after. The auto is the logical successor of this little mail wagon, and its com ing fast. It Is already In use In some sections with perfect satisfaction nd now Uncle Sam Is sitting up and tak ing notice of the demand for Its ex tension. Some entorprlslng congressman has started a movement by Introducing a bill to establish an experimental auto-post rural service, on certain routes to be selected by the postmaster gen eral. One of the conditions Is that the routes selected for the experiment shall embrace only well graded and macadamized roads. The auto-coaches are to be equipped for carrying mall, merchandise, baggage and pas cngors, the capacity to be at least ten passengers and fifteen hundred nounds of baggage. The round trip fare to any point Is to be ten cents for adults and five for children. The speed capacity of the auto-coach to be ant less than 100 miles a day. Poultry Pointers.
