faghi i !IV STOCK CARELESS POISONING COSTLY Frequent Reports Made of Animal Galnlno Access to Paint Doxes and Other Containers. Tlio danger of nnltiinls becoming poisoned through tlio cnrelcss use of poison material when spraying or halt InK for Injects, Is pointed out by olll clals nt the Ohio Kxpcrlmentul stn tlon, Woostcr. Kvery year reports nro sent In of nnlmnlB suddenly dying from securing access to pnlnt boxes nud poison con tnlncra. Sometimes parts green boxes, white lend or arsenate Of lead containers nro thrown Into the trash pile or dump nud animals get tlio poison from, these. Paint boxes, even though thinly coated, are licked by cattlo because of the sweetish tnslo of tlio lead com pounds. Such boxes should bo thoroughly cleaned with gasoline before using for farm pntls. It Is stated. Materials most dangerous to live stock arc parls green, london purple, arsenate of lead, calcium arsennte, qnd any compounds of arsenic or tine, USES ONLY PUREBRED SIRES No Scrubs of Any Kind Found on Farm of Farmer Residing In Challam County, Wash. More than onc-thlfd of n group of farmers In Ohnllam county, Wrish.. who recently enrolled In the Better Sires Better Stock" campaign will purchase purebred sires In one or mora classes of animals. The corn munlcatlons to the department of agriculture showed a partlculnr Inter est In purebred boars, although many other classes of animals besides swine arc kept In the community. The owner of one well-stocked farm listed n Pcrchcron stallion, a Guernsey Keep Only the Best Mares and Breed Them to Sound, Purebred Stallions of the Same Breed. bull, a Chester white boar, a Lincoln ram, a bronze gobbler, and a barred rock rooster, all of pure breeding. There were no scrubs of uuy klud on this farm. KEEPING HOGS IN CONDITION Mixture of Charcoal, Salt, Air-Slaked Lime, Wood Ashes and Copperas Is Favored. For hogs running out the following preparation help to keep them In good condition: Take of charcoal three bushels: of sail eight pounds; ot jilr-sluked lime two quarts; of wood tishes one bushel; dlssolvo one pound of copperas In hot water, sprinkle with tho solution tlio mixture of the -other things; mix all up thoroughly -and put the mixture In the feed boxes Ttaa set them when tho hogs will havo free access to them. Every farmer should havo self-fording boxes or rncks, so that the stock cau only get tho needed supply nnd not waste It nor get too heavy a supply at one time. PUREBRED STOCK ADVOCATED Improvement Can Be More Quickly Brought About by Use of 'More Registered Sires. The moro general use of good pure bred sires Is strongly advocated as the foundation stone to live slock Improve ment on account of lite fact that Im provement can be moro quickly and ecoi'omjctilly brought about In the herds of the country by tlio use of better sires than In any other way. ECONOMIZE IN FEEDING HOGS Where Abundance of Grain Is Fur nished Animals Will Not Eat as Much on jastue, Where too muchjjraln ,1s fed the hogs satisfy their appetites on grain nnd will not cat as much pasture as they should.

When on free range the poults are busy most of the dny searching for feed. Here there is no overfeeding nnd hick of exercise, such ns poults nro often subjected to by thine Ignor ant of their wants. If the range Is plentifully supplied with green feed, grasshoppers, and other Injects, and if the weather Is faxorable, the best plan Is to nllow tho poults to feed them selves. It Is usually advisable, how ever, to have them come home nt night, and If driven up and fed nt n certain place every night they will soon lenm to come up themselves. When, on nccount of rainy weather or unfavorable range conditions, It Is idvlsnblo to raise tho poults by the -oop method, more care must be given o their feeding. Successful turkey rntsers use many llffercnt kinds of feed. Some suggest .m1 by the United States department if ngrlculture poultry specialists rol ow : Hard-boiled egg chopped fine nnd orn-hrend crumbs for the first week, tnd then whole wheat and hulled outs; talo bread, soaked In milk and squeezed dry, for the first few days, and then common chfck feed; clab bered milk seasoned with n little salt tnd pepper, corn-bread crumbs ; equal parts "plnhend1 oats, whole wheat nnd 'racked corn; cracked wheat; corn meal and wheat bran mixed In the proportion of thrco to one and baked Into bread; nnd bran or middlings one-half, cracked Kgypttnn com one quarter, wheat nnd hulled oats one quarter. In addition to the above, skim milk nnd buttermilk nro quite often fed. with excellent results. A good plan is to keep the milk in front of the poults during the morning nnd wnter ISsslRssssssslssR Bronze Turkey Men. during tho nfterooon. If grit nnd green feed cannot bo picked up out side the coop, they must be provided In some other way. Chopped onion tops, lettuce leaves, dandelion leaves, nnd alfalfa make excellent green feed. Grit can bo furnished In the form- of coarse sand. CAREFUL IN FEEDING CHICKS J I l--H Little Fellows Will Grow More Rap idly If Fed Five Times Dally If It Is Done Right. Young chickens should be fed from three to flvo times dally, depending upon one's experience In feeding. snyB tho United States department of agri culture. Undoubtedly chickens can bo grown faster by feeding flvo times dally than by feeding three times dally, It should be borno In mind that more harm can be done to the young chickens by overfeeding than by un derFeodfng, and at no time should they bo fed moro than barely to satisfy their appetites and to keep them ex ercising, except nt tlio evening or lost meal, when Ihey should bo given all they will cat Greater caro must be exercised not to overfeed young chicks that nro confined than those that havo free range, ns leg weakness Is apt to result In those confined. IMPROVING CHICKEN FLOCKS One Florida Farmer Has 200 Cocks and 950 Hens, All Standard Bred White Leghorns. Tho largo number of well-bred flocks of poultry nnd tho skillful methods used In Improving them are becoming moro nnd more evident with the de velopment of tho "Better Sires Bet ter Stock" campaign. Ono Florida poultry furm, recently enrolled, bus 200 cocks and 050 hens, all standard bred, single-comb White Leghorns. In addition, Ihey are line bred for high egg production and the flock has been trap nested for 21 years. Tho owner states that In addition the fowls aro of good exhibition typo.

One of the greatest feeding crimes Is to lot them gel real hungry, liens raise tlio ''No Food, No Kggs" sign whenever they nro neglected In Ibis respect nnd It Is hard to got them to abandon their "laying strike'' when they begin It. BBND BUIiLKTOT, MND, URKQON, ipS4 BEGIN FIGHT ON "T. B." NOW Every Live Stock Owner Should Boost Campaign Inaugurated to Eradicate Tuberculosis. (Preparetl by tho United States Dpart ment of Agriculture.) Live stock owners nro earnestly re quested not to wait until tho states nnd federal government come Into their localities to erndlcato tubercu losis. It would not be possible Indeed, nt this stage to undertake to eradicate tuberculosis from the llvo stock of tho United States solely through organized olllchil forces established by tho re spective states nnd the federal gov ernment. The area over which tuber culosis has spread Is too vast, the herds too numerous, nnd funds nro lusutllclcnt for conducting tho work on so extensive a plan even though trained veterinarians were nvnllnnle In sutllcleut numbers to do the work. Kvery live-stock owner should be a party to this campaign which has been inaugurated to eradicate tuberculo-ds. in almost every locality of the United Stntes are veterinarians capable of rendering valuable services to live stock owners In this great work, nud tho cost of eradicating Is greatly re iTuced by combating tho disease In Its early stages. Yet oven In badly af fected herds eradication can be under taken with success. There nro records of many herds. In which tbrco-fourths Bull In Advanced Stage of Tuber, culcsls. of tho animals were affected with tu berculosis, which eventually wcro freed from It and afterwords main tained In a healthy condition. RANGE FOR GROWING CHICKS Quantities of Green Feed, bugs, Worms and Other Things Obtained In Place of Grain. " Nothing Is better for growing chicks than n liberal supply of sour milk. If It can ho obtained, It always should bo kept before them In an open dish or pan where they can cat nnd drink It freely. Where Bour milk Is fed, thft amount of beef Hemp In the dry ninsh inayibo reduced one-hair. Plenty of fresh, clean water Is ab solutely necessary for nil growing chicks.

The only reason that tho average porson can glo for using u scrub sire In any lino of llvo stock breeding Is that they think they nro making money by U'.lng n cheap animal. They do not tlguro Into the future nud see that It Is the offspring of this niiliiinl which will cither make or lose them money, The corn breeder does not think of se lecting (ho nubbins with which to plant Ids corn Held.

For best results It Is Imperative Hint sheep havo frequent changes of pasture, thnt a "frefch blto" be hod, that grass may not ho loo closely bit ten, that worms therefore will he lesi likely to Infest them and that they may hntu a surer supply of mineral matter ns well ns organic inntter In their feed.
