WHEN YOU MATE UP.
Ton will soon mate op your peas
for breeding, and there are certain
particaJars 70a most bear In mind to
tiring aocceM.
Wba joa bare called oat ail oier
three- years old aod tticwe with grata
eWects, tben take "Tin SUodard of
Perfection" Into tbe pen aod select
from tbe remainder tnose that are
aearest to tbe standard type.
If our fowls look like three cents
when rou applr tbls criterion, it U
lime to bar new birds. Tots can't
breed something oat of notions

who doesn't stod ben natare and
tblnks be has such a surplus of gray
latter that be can throw a breeding
aea together like a bo pitching qooits
bad better "go away back and sit
down." for if he's op front be got In
a soot other fellow's stock or climbed
tbe feoce.
Study 7 oar birds now. The people
who wait till they bear tbe whistle
blow beore tbey start for the train
general! miss the last platform sod
aaaka fools of themselves.
There's do socb thing ss lock In
shaking chickens op Uke dice. Too
stay get a blank.
When the solons of tbe poultry world
who sell bens for a thousand dollars
piece and cockerels for Ave hundred
and who have thousands of ton ton
birds to select from must sit down for
day to study oat a single mating, is
that aot a lesson for those wbo mate
their pens with breakneck speed?
If birds are mated now you may be
surprised at unforeseen changes yoa
will make. Too will thus catch tbe
droaesv the bens that will not frster
bIm with the male, and eliminate from
the pgp the hen that continually bullies
the seat.
By this early removal of the birds to
pea by themselves they msy receive
that special care and feeding which are
accessary for them to bare to Insure
good output of fertile eggs, for It
la a fact that bms for breeding must
have different trtment from those
which are simply fed for market eggs.
Thla is often overlooked the first
fast of the Incubator shows great In
fertility. A great many poultrymen do
their shoring at the wrong end of the
hen wagon.
The bens that are poshed at tbe be
ginning of winter are up against the
wall when batcblng time comes.
The doctrine that you should sepa
rate tbe male bird from the females
Until breeding time to promote bis
productive powers Is a big fake. Io
this If yoa wish to ruin tbe head of the
pen.
BAD DISQUALIFICATIONS. - Re
ject birds with tbe following defects;
Wry talis, crooked backs and breast
banes, aid sprigs, lop combed males,
squirrel tails, diminutive tails, wbtte
fsead cockerels except BIsck Spanish,
deformed beaks, purple barring, brssal
hesa, whit lobe In Wyandottea and
Oschlns, plncbed talis, feathered abaoka
oa clean legged varieties, clean shanks
oa feather legged breeds, swinging
crops and drop wings.
Tou need not wait three, weeks, to
discover if thVeggs are fertile. Test
them with a strong light at the end of
Sve days.
If tbe eggs are all Infertile, replace
tbe male bird with another. If part of
tbe eggs are Infertile, yoa either have
too many bene or certain of tbe mem
bers of the harem do not stsnd In wen
with Mohammed. If a reconciliation
cannot be made quickly, remove tbe
offending squaws.
DO NTS.
Don't keep your docks In damp quar
ters and 00 bard, cold boards. Furnish
clean, soft litter and be decent
Don't keep docks with chickens
Their feed is different Docks 1
droppings are a eombinatfoo to restrict
tbe dock supply.
Don't sell dock eggs for a song. They
command a high price for Hebrew
trade. Write to an ecr house for
prices.
Don't keep oyster shell to long.
Tbe sea salts draws moisture, aod the
shell sets soft It's dirty and oct of
date soybow.
Don't forget to save those dock feath
ers. Feather beds are 00 longer Hght-
oing protectors, bet there's nothing
better for a boil than a dock feather
fashion.
Don't andervaloe those bantam.
Tbey isy many eggs, Uke op leas room
aiiJ eat little. Let the boys have a
Sock.
Don't forget that pheasants aren't
ranaries. They are ornamental, but not
to bang among window carta Ins.
Don't bouse pheasants with other
stock. Give tbem tots of room and
fresh 'r. Let tbem go.
Don't mix turkeys, chickens and
g-c-'r. Birds of one feather should
flock together.
Don't tolerate scrapping roosters.
They are a nuisance. Tbe fighters
aren't fathers of Booaeveltlan families.
Beef Production.
Tbe following points conducive to
highest profit Id producing beef were
stated some time ago by an authority
on thla matter In Alabama. Tbey prob
ably still bold good snd bsve value for
cattle growers In other southern states
ss well:
First Tbe use of thoroughbred bulls
of tbe beef breeds and as soon as prac
ticable of dams having some beef
blood.
Second. Abundance of good pas
ture. Third. Economical production on the
farm of cowpea, sorghum and other
hay and other foods needed in winter
ing cattle.
Fourth. Intrusting the car of cattle
to men who have studied tbe business
both of crop production and of feeding.
Fifth. Increased attention to mar
keting, including the raising of such
numbers of beeves and of such quality
aa will be worth ahlpplng In carload
lota to the best markets north or
south.
Southern Hay Growing.
In sections where Johnson grass If
well established a very good system ol
bay growing Is to sow vetch or crim
son clover, or both, with a small
amount of oats as a winter crop, on
Johnson grass land. Where the land
Is plowed esrly Id the fall and put In
good condition for the winter hay
crop two or three good crops of John
son grass cso be cut tbe next summer.
This system will tben give a crop of
winter bay and two or three cutting!
of Johnson brass bay every year. H,

CCTIOX Or A G&UB OF COBS.
(A, akin; B, germ; C, endosperm.
part of it is made up of cells especially
fitted for a particular role In this p roe-
is of reproduction.
Roughly speaking, the seed consists
of three main divisions tbe skin, the
germ and tbe endosperm. Tbe skin,
which makes about 6 per cent of the
weight of the seed, holds the whole to
gether and protects the delicate inte
rior parts. It Is made up principally
of tough cellulose or crude fiber, with
some mineral matters Imbedded in it
The germ Is larger In corn than to
most cereals and forms In average
corn about 10 per cent by weight of
the grain, whereas In wheat It Is only
0 or 7 per cent It contains the em
bryo from wblcb tbe new plsnt will
develop tinder favorable conditions.
Tbe endosperm constitutes about 84
per cent by weight of tbe grain and
represents the food which the parent
plant has stored for the early growth
of tbe new plant. In the germ and
endosperm the cellulose walls of the
cells are very mucb thinner than In
tbe skin and surround a network of
nitrogenous material called protoplasm
In which the life of each cell seems to
reside. The food materials which tbe
plant has stored for future use He In
tbe meshes of this protoplasmic net
work, together with some moisture. In
tbe germ much of the stored material
Is fat and mineral matters. In the out
er layers of the endosperm there are
stored grains of a protein substance
known as aleurone, and In the inner
portions are found quantities of tiny
starch grains wltb small amounts of
protein and mineral matter.
It may be calculated that CI per cent
of tbe cellulose of the grain is found
In the skin-, 05 per cent of protein In
the germ, 90 per cent of the starch
and M per cent of the protein In the
endosperm.
The food value of corn and Its prod
ucts as compared with each other and
with other food materials of course de
pends mainly on tbe smount of nutri
tive materials or nutrients which tbe
digestive organs can extract for the
use of the body. Resides the water
found in all food materials, even those
which are apparently perfectly dry,
the actual nutrleuta are grouped in
four classes first protein or nitrog
enous material; second, fat; third,
carbohydrates. Including starches, sug
ars and the very Indigestible constit
uents known aa erode fiber or cel
lulose, and, fourth, mineral matters or
ash.
rroteln, fats and carbohydrates alike
can yield energy, but sine only protein
can oerv for tbe necessary tisso
building this Is usually considered Its
main function, and the fata and car
bohydrate are relied on to furnish
most of the energy.
Corn Is rich In fst aod carbohydrate
and so is a fsttening food, aa It ex

Homo Grown Corn a Substitute.
I j miser believes, however, that tbe
nnrrfrirc material contained In bran
mar be purchased more cheaply In otb
er concentrated feeds and that New
England farmers especially often use
more bran than economy warrants. As
a practical result from experiments to
find cheaper rations for milk cows tnan
those containing large amounts of
bran. Professor Lindsey suggests:
. Farmers who keep comparatively
small berds and wbo personally took
after tbe feeding may reduce the quan
tity of purchased grain to three or four
pounds daily per bead and substitute
home grown corn In place of wheat
bran. Five to seven pounds of grain
daily Is the usual allowance for cows
producing about ten quarts of milk of
average quality. This grain mixture
may consist of one and one-half pounds
of cottonseed meal, two pounds of flour
middlings and two and one-half to
three pounds of corn or corn and
cob meal dally or one and one-half
pounds of cottonseed meal, two pounds
of oat middlings or rye feed and two
and one-half to three pounds of corn
meaL Malt sprouts may be substitut
ed for tbe wheat oat or rye middlings.
Tbe several grains after being mixed
should be distributed through the silage
or cut hay with the aid of a fork.
According to the Farmer.
The foregoing method of feeding will
enable the farmer to get along with a
minimum cash outlay for grain (4H
cents daily), and at tbe same time be
will be supplying a well balanced ra
tion, rich in elements of fertility. The
method will be more particularly suit
ed to farmers not having easy trans
portation facilities and who sell their
dairy products to the creamery.
Farmers snd dairymen wbo cannot
closely supervise the feeding and who
desire to feed more than five to seven
pounds of grain daily will probably
find It advisable to use one-third to one
naif wheat bran in compounding the
grain mixture. Distillers' grains and
malt sprouts have also been shown to
be quite satisfactory distributers of the
heavy concentrates.

Feeding For Milk.
We consider silage the most eco
nomical of all food stuffs as well as
the least trouble to feed. Bran we find
the most expensive, but this farlon
anything to take the place of bran
seems to be in the experimental stage
In Indiana, and we find that to dis
pense with It even when the cows are
on pasture generally results in a loss
of butter of more value than the cost
of the bran.
We Ijcgan on Jan. 4 last to keep ac
count by weight of all the feed our
ten cows ate In seven days, wltb these
results: The average daily ration, fed
In two feeds, was forty pounds of si
lage, live pounds of bran, five pounds
of clover hay and six pounds of corn
stover or all the stover tbey would
eat up clean. The bran was fed ac
cording to quantity of milk, six pounds
being the most fed to any one cow.
The cost of one week's feed for all
was: Bilage, $3.50; bran, $2.85; clover
bay, $1.47; stover, 42 cents; total, $8.24.

Locating tha Incubator.
As to location of tbe Incubator, do
not place It In a room where it will
be between two windows where a
draft is likely to blow across It The
machine should not be located where
the sun can fall across n or strike
the floor too close to It Tbe effect
of the sun upon the machine Is pe
culiar, and while the temperature In
the room may not seem to rise the
sun will cause the egg chamber to
beat more rapidly than might be sup
posed, thereby Interfering with the ad
justment of the regulator. Do not lo
cate the machine In a north or west
room miens It Is impossible to find
another place. A south or east room
Is far more satisfactory, says a writer
In Orange Judd Farmer.
The Incubator should be where there
I a fire all tbe time, or It should be In
a room where there Is no Or at all.
If the machine Is placed In a room
where there Is no lire. It should be
borne In mind that the eggs cannot be
cooled In a temperature lower tban 60
degrees for any length of time with
out chilling the eggs. The eggs should
b wrapped between tbe folds of a
blanket and carried Into an adjoining
room where there la a Are.
Th operator should as every pos
sible car In keeping the lamp bowl
and lamp burner scrupulously clean
and free from oil or any other for
eign settlings. If this Is not done the
neat of th burner will naturally gen
erate some gas, and. If thla b thrown
off In tbe room, la sure to be gathered
back Into th incubator, aod aa It flows
through th egg chamber to cans a
great deal of damage.
Th air In tbe room mast b abso
lutely sweet and fresh. Be very care
ful to se that the Incubator alts per
fectly level, bat do not attempt to level
It by a water bottle, pan of water or by
anything except carpenter spirit
