i'I'k limy bo helpful.
HeiiH are ued for Incubating the
egg. Provided a hen want to net auy
time after tlm middle of February alio
I put In n warm and protected place.
I'or proHpoctlvt' winter layer It 1 well
to hatch the chlcka aa early lis Murcti
nml April. With hen to brood the
chlcka and with a Htinny oxpomire and
protection from cold wind, they need
little more attention In eiirly than in
later hatclilng.
No wet food 1 given young chick un
til they are four to five week old. The
mother hen la coojied. but the chlcka
are allowed free gritaa rangu. They
are fed regularly five time a day until
they are about two mouths old, after
that for two month or o four times n
day, and from that ttmo on three times
a day until winter 1 over. The yonng
chick are kept free of vermin by
simple methods, tho porches and rooet
ing place aro carefully watched for
chicken mites, and any Indication of
sickness Is at once Investigated.
After the chlcka are three months
old they are fed a wet mash In tbe
morning and a grain mixture consist
ing of two parts of whole or cracked
corn and one part each of wheat and
ont for the remaining meals. The
mash I composed of four parts by
m en h u re of brnn and one each of mid
dllngs, cornmenl and mixed grains. Oc-
raslonnllv one measure of meat meal Is
added to the mash to furnish animal
protein, though the meat meal Is kept
In hopiH-rs In order that tho young
chickens inav learn to balance their
own ration. Since chickens possess In
dividual tastes, It 1 liettnr to let them
balance their ration to suit thenisalves.
Tlm niunh Is usually wet down with
the wastes from the table. Oyster shell
and grit are always kept before the
fowls In hoppers.
A dry scratching pen, free from
drafts and well lighted. Is provided for
each pen of fowls. This Is practically
linllspensnMo for winter layera In cold
or modern to climates. Grain thrown In
tho litter will keep the fowls busy for
hours. Rxptvlao Is very Important for
fowl that are kept to produce eggs
during tho winter mouth. Plenty of
fresh water Is also essentlnl for laying
hens. Fifty fowls cared for in this
manner during the past four or five
years have given a fairly uniform sup
ply of winter egg. As a rulo the fifty
fowls have consisted of from sixteen to
twenty pullets, about the same number
of one-year-old hens and a few two-year-olds.
Careful records show that
tho pullets (luring the winter months
lay ahut four times as many eggs a
the hens. For profl table winter egg
production it Is advlsnblo to have aa
many vigorous pullets as possible.
With pullet nuinlerlng only about
one-third of tho fifty fowls, the pro
duction of the writer' flock during the
past four winters, regarding tbe winter
months as December, January and
February, has been a follows:
Winter of 1007-8, 1.0;i2 average per
month, 344: winter of 1008-0, 1,3.10
average per . month, 44(1; winter of
1000-10, 1,258 average per month, 410;

FIGHTING THE CHINCH . BUG.
Fir the Best Agent In Destroying This
Expensive Pest.
Tbe chinch bug cost the state of Mis
souri approximately 13.000,000 lust
year, and In many other states the cost
was nearly as great L'uIomh Immediate
steps are taken to destroy the swarms
which are living over during tho win
ter this loss will be greatly Increased
next year.
Met ween now and Dec. 1 all mead
ows, pastures, roads, waste lands and
other fields, which are heavily over
grown. Nlmiild be carefully exuuilned
for the hlhornuting chinch bugs.
Those lields near wheat and corn fields
which were iiifesteil during the hum

odor of the crushed buis even before

Wherever I hey are found the fields
should be liuriicd over Immediately
and carefully so that every possible
fhelter will be destroyed. The wind
should imt be too strong, so that the
heat will penetrate down into the
clumps uf grass and make u clean job.
Farmers should co-operato iu burning

With careful., systematic burning of

the pest during the winter the fight
will be well enough started so that. If

GRACELESS GATEPOSTS.
Original and Satisfactory Method
Holding Stakes In Place.
of
When putting up fencing, especially
around gardens and lawns, it some
times Is desirable to omit wood or oth
er above ground braces for the sake
of doing a neat job. yet the fencing
must be tight and kept so.
Tbe sketch illustrates a method high
ly satisfactory even wtien used on
lurge gates, if gateposts are set in
deep and u few stones pounded in firm
ly around the bottoms. Dig a shallow

trench between the posts and connect
them with two or more srninds of gal
vanized wire and splice tho cuds. Klip
the strands into the trench, twist A
with n short stick till you draw posts
together firmly against the soil, then
cover up tho wire.
The "pull" of the fence cannot lop
them over, because they are pulling
ngalnst each other. In setting any
kind of posts nlways tamp the soil very
firm the first few inches In bottom of
hole. 'Flint Is the secret of firm tKksts.

Cement Floors Pay.
Investigation lu connection with
feeding steers carried on by the Ohio
experiment station has demonstrated
that the value of the manure for each
animal was more than $4 greater when
the feeding was done on cement floors
than when earlh Honrs were employed.
The result would be practically the
same were the floors plank If the socp
ugo of the liipild manure were eventn-
tl ly lost through chemical changes
and other avenues of escape. The loss
Would, of course, be much less where
I he animals are kept under cover and
bedding Is freely used, thus allowing
the mass to be packed luto a thick

IT PAYS TO KEEP
COWS COMFORTABLE
To give hi cow the proir shelter
the dairyman mnst have a clean,
warm, well lighted and well ventilated
barn, write K K. flushing lu the Iowa
Homestead. The size will depend al
together upon the capacity of the farm
and the number of cow to 1m? shel

or, In other word, to build tbe barn
on a hillside or some way that leads
to a second story. In this WBy ven
tilation and doorwaya may lie had In
the sides and end of the barn.
The walls of the basement may be
made of stone or brick, or If this can
not be afforded a wall under the side
that stands next the hill may be con
structed mul the other three side be
made of framing. Many prefer the
cement walls, which aro chearr than

is shown In the record of the Hol
etcln herd, owned by J. A. Turner of
Virginia, lie has a herd of seven
teen pure bied Jloleteln-Frisians
and Ave gradcR, a total of twenty
two cowl His records and books
show that tn a alruxle year sixteen
of his cowa averaged over lu.OuO
pounds of milk, twelve averaged
over !! 0--" pounds, ten averatsed
over U."'i pounds, eight averaged
over 1- "J0 pounds, four averaged

bo well ventilated. It should also have
a sound floor.
The cows that ure forced to stand lu
a dark, dirty stall cannot be expected
to produce as much milk nor milk that
will have the wholesome qualities as
the cow that is furnished with a well
lighted, airy stall, one that bus win
dows to admit the sunlight and one
that the foul air of the stable Is re
placed by the good, pure tiir. without
subjecting the cow to injurious drafts.
The stalls with tight walls and ceilings
prevent loss of heat In cold weather
and thus contribute greatly to the com
fort of both rhe cow and the milker
When the dairy cow Is on full feeu
she Is hard worked and Is less able
to withstand extremes of weather than
other stock, for tier euerjries are then
beins exerted in the direction of pro
duction rather than self preservation.
It Is more profitable as well as more
human to keep her warm by making
the stable comfortable instead of com
pelling her to use large amounts of
expensive foods In maintaining her
body temperature
Nothing la more important tn trie
dairy barn than a sound. Impervious
floor. There Is more than one benefit
derived from such a floor. The animals
are more comfortable and hence prof
itable, the manure Is saved and ni
plled to the land without loss, tbe
stables are cleaned with less effort, anil
cleaner milk Is produced, which will
always com maud a higher price.
TWO DAIRY PROBLEMS.
Proper Composition of Feed a Matter
of Great Importance.
Tbe dairy farmer has two great prob
lems confronting him at all times
namely, tbe labor and the feeding
problems. Ills success depends large
ly on his ability to cope with tbent.
and especially with the feeding prob
lem. Ills cows are, In a measure, ma
chines through which raw materials
pass and are turned out as finished
proxlucts. the quality of which are de
termined by the Individual cow. If
the raw materials are not "balanced"
the result may be fat on the cow's
buck instead of milk In the pall; it may
mean flesh from the cow's body to
make milk or a waste of material al
together. If not supplied In suftieient
quantities the machine discontinues ita
wort and the cow goes dry.
Far too many dairymen work on the
Assumption that If their cows are fed
all they will ent or clean up nicely
of feeds affording variety they are do
ing their best The question of feed
composition should receive more
thought A man may easily feed un
balanced rations that will waste
enough material, for which he has to
pay high prices, to make bis business
unprofitable, even under otherwise
favorable condition New York Tribune-Farmer
Udder Inflammation.
Mastitis (inflammation of the udder)
may often be Induced in a cow by
rough milking when the teats are sore
or chapped Chapped teats may be re
lieved by gently rubbing with vaseline
before and after milking. Several ap
plications of tine ointment to sore
teats, after cleaning them, will relieve
most cases.
