Indiscriminate brcodlhK of poultry la a common fault on farms. Many furui (locks are made up of old and younif. Iuiko and aniall, early and late hutched birds, and In many culls are common, and when CKK for batching" are needed they ore Kathered from th common nests, which are often In the haymow, burn entry or under the lioupen. No one knows for sure tf they are fresh, fertile or what hen laid them. Such are nondescript cuK and their offspring- Is like them, and flock bred in a such a loose way don't pay. Tbelr laying Is sjor. the ckkm are not uni form In color and nlze nnd dressed fowls are likewise. A lecture tour of nine Pennsylvania counties the puxt Institute seanon abowed many fanners breeding; this careless way and ucttliiK few winter en- accordingly. To pay. farm flocks must be thoroughbred, built up by e lection. They must be culled down to a paying bn-ds. They must be fed and housed (troperly. This Is not a criti cism on the farmer, but we call atten tion to it mistake that has Im-cii handed down from feneration to Kenerutlon Hut a cooit number of farmers have cut out loose methods. They cull bard In the full and keep a watch for nnde slraMes the your round, nnd as spring -ipproiicbes they put the Mock through the X ray mid select . the very beat birds, pen tlu-ni alone nnd hutch from I hem only. If fanners would Join cow testing clubs nud have each cow's milk test-' for butter fat It would work a revolt! lion In the herds of the country and send lots of suppos.hl paying milkers to the butcher. If a few trap nests were set tip on farms where this Indiscriminate poul try breeding la In vogue they. too. would work wonders and there would not Is- much left on some farms but the risisler FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS. A Xew Jersey farmer lost alxty chick ens before be found raccoons were turning the trick. He watched thirty days and nights for another species of coon, and then, to his surprise found a family of raccoons, two old ami four young, In a hollow tree, and the nest full of feathers tfnd bones from his fancy roosiers The easiest w ay to catch an oposi-uin that pesters your thick Is to track him to Ills den. and a trap baited with a IWIi and set at the entrance will do the rcM. If you don't like "roast pos. sum and sweet pertaters" give j om en t eh to the colored preacher of jour neighborhood and tints make him a friend tor life. In many parts of Kughiud there is little snow, and the grass is green the Whole year round. This means greater fertility In wilder moid lis and a longer. iM'ltcf season for raising- chicks and a better elm nee for winter eggs. With it all. Knglaiiil Is among the countries low on the list for istultry production nnd Imports much of her poultry nnd eggs. t'liaiming the union too ipilckly has disorganized nia.iy a flock and knock ed the egg record Hat. It's all right to try out feeds and formulas, but this should be done with a few bells and thus the risk Is small. While the popularity of the hen's egg. coaipared to the duck's. Is ascrib ed to the fact that she always adver tises It by loud cackling, this is not the w hole truth In an eggshell. There Is a lilp Van Winkle prejudice against the epiack's egg that declares It Is strong and unpalatable. Those who have dined on the modern duck egg call !Ms all ipinckcry. One thing often neglected by poultry keepers In winter Is grit. A . heu's mouth, her crop, her gl..ard. her lu testlnes of course, they have no teelh. Yet how ib these fancier who neglect to furnish grit expect Biddy to grind hard grain and turn It Into eggs and blood without grit? When a skunk steals your heus he always leaves a loud trull and his bur row is easily found Klght have been caught In one hole. They are easily caught. You need not halt tho trap, you need not even cover It, but you" should keep under cover of some sort if you kill htm with a club or your bnif hands Scalded oats, the hulls soaked sort and mixed with line chopped vegeta bles and a sprinkle of green cut bone, black pepper and salt, are much relish ed by the hens nnd add to the variety which is ho necessary In winter to pro mote health ami the egg record. In setting traps for varuiluts that catch poultry one tUIuu often forgot ten Is to kill odor left on traps by the bands. , sprbiklo of blood or burning grass on the trap will generally fix this, or If a skunk has previously been In the trap that's deodorizer enough. OFF GOES THE LABEL PUCK I W)I llltlOH ACT Wil l UK ANXl M.F.D Now Itcfculaflon to I mb Kffeetive May t, IUI1, Allowing Manufactur er to Hell Present Htock The leiccnd "Guaranteed Under tho Food and Drugs Act" Is held to be misleading and deceptive, and tho use of a serlnl number on food and drugs Is prohibited after May 1, 1916, by a food Inspection decision signed May C by tho Secretaries of the Treasury, Agriculture, nd Com merce. The taking effect of tho new regulation Is postponed until May 1, 19 ID, In order to give manufactur ers an opportunity to uso up their present stork of lables. ' After May 1, 1915, guaranties of compliance with tho law should be given by manufacturers directly to dealers and should bo incorporated In the Invoice or bill of sale r.pcclfy lng the goods covered. This guar anty should not appear on the label or package of the product. The act has In leallty proved a flMlu and misnomer, which every one knows who Is familiar with It. And everybody Is familiar with It, It beginning with "guaranteed un ader the pure food act, etc." It was Intended originally as a guaran ty by the manufacturer to the deal er, that In case the goods were bogus and the law stepped In, the manu facturer would stand the brunt of tho trouble. The label was ao writ ten that the public, was deceived In tho Idea that It amounted to a fed eral guaranty of the quality of the goods. ALL COUNTIES ALIKE NO .iv.nta;k Wll.l. UK tilVKX AT STATK FA I It Oregon Has Been Divided Into Dis tricts for tb Awarding of the VriAfn Complete revision of the plan heretofore employed In conducting the county agricultural exhibits at the State Fair Is the salient features of the premium list of the 1914 Ore gon State Fair which has been trans mitted to the State Printer by Frank Meredith, secretary of the State Fair Board. Heretofore all counties have competed with each other for fixed prizes, but under the revised plan, the state has been divided Into three districts Clatsop. Tillamook, Coos, Curry and Lincoln comities comprl-mh-.lng the first district; Wasco, Hood Klver, Columbia, Multnomah Clackamas, Washington, Yamhill, Polk, Linn, Benton, Lane. Douglas. Jackson and Josephine, th second district, and Umatilla. Slhrman, Baker, Wallowa. Morrow, vKlnmath. Luke, Hartley, Grant, Malheur. Crook. Wheeler, Gilliam and Union, the third. .Premiums are offered pro rata for each district, the amount of money to be divided In each one being bas ed on the number of counties en tered, and the basis fixed being $100 for each exhibit that qualifies. All competing counties from each district will draw pro rata, in the same proportion as the one winning first, according to the number of points scored. An exhibit must score at least 66 points out of 100 to par ticipate In the division of the money. In addition to the money pro rated $90 will be divided, $50 to the first. $25 to the second and $15 to the thtrd, among the three counties of each district scoring the highest number of points. Fifteen dollars to the first, $10 to the second and $5 to the third, will also bo awarded to three counties scoring the highest beauty exhibit, and- for this pre mium alone Marlon County will com pete, Tho livestock classification has al so been revised so as to conform to that adopted by the North Pacific Fair Association, and exhibitors will bo enabled to show their animals In the same classes throughout the circuit. Four hundred and fifty dol lars more Is offered in tho sheep clas sification, and the swine department Is offering $216 for Tamworths for the first time. In the County Agri cultural Kxhlblt it Is also possible to draw $2000 more than during the 1913 fair. Portland now has a Public Market which was opened last week. This new municipal venture, which Is a direct slap at the high cost of living Is the result of years of agitation and nionthapf vigorous campaigning among both consumers and produc ers.

The nawborn cslf should be allowed to draw the milk from It dam for three days. Io not abuse the calf when teaching It to drink by jamming Its head In the milk up to its eyes.

What an Ohio Fiockmastar Thinks of Prasarvad Corn. From personal experience in sheep feeding for the lust fifteen years I find the alio the best Investment on the farm, writes J. B. Peele of Ohio In the Nutlonul Stockman. When I ts?gan raising wlnttr lambs I soon found there was a leak In the pocketbook, and It did not take long to find that the miller was the man who was get ting tbe profits, for at that time no one supposed the ewes would give a sufficient amount of milk without a liberal ration of bran. So the first silo was built just a borne grown affair of elm hoop and lined with Georgia pine flooring and yet that crude struc ture, built from descriptions found in the Stockman and other farm papers. t'hotu by American itc Association Kirn George V. of England la a breeder "f caitle. sheep and hogs of the best strains and takes a deep interest in matters agricultural. He rarely falls to attend the prom inent live etock shows and uauully has entries of his own. At the Koyul Itrlstol show the king waa in attendance and won several bluo ribbons for his exhibits, notably with his Shorthorn cattle. The pho tosrapher caught him as ha waa viewing aome of the sheep at the show. saved Its cost iu brau bills tbe Lst year and baa continued to turn the same trick every year since. Feople who rend the horror stories t wagon loads of dead sheep from the slrtlge fed flocks sometimes ask. What Is the secret of feeding silage success fully? There is no secret that I know. The ewes are fed liberally. In fact, we aim to feed In excess, and what remains Is thrown out into a rack by the side of tbe barn and a little fresh silage on top. Here the cows eat whnt they want, and In the afternoon the horses lick the plate clean. The ewes get uothiug but siluge and alfalfa or clover, yet they raise their lambs, keep healthy and get fat quickly after the lambs are marketed. Hind Feet of Horses. It is a not infrequent "trouble with tbe hind feet of horses that they get to growing outward at the outside quarter, forming a wing thereon and thus growing awuy from tbe proper lino of the limb nnd therefore not properly supporting it. This outside wing should bo gradually rasped off and the shoe fitted suug, close inside of the wall under this irregular growth and a shade full along the inside from toe back to heel. This will weaken tbe support of the overgrown Bide of the foot and strengthen the weaker side and, says the Horse Journal, assist nature to cure this Irregularity of growth. Milk For Calve. Tbe young ca'.f should never be ovec fed. Its stomach Is not large, and tha ordinary calf should not have more than a pint and a half or two pints of milk a'; a feeding when very young. Tbnt la one advantage in leaving It with the cow for a day or two. It feeds when It needs to and it does not Terfeed, n :j f j - r six. LICE ANDJJVE STOCK. Homemade Remedy For Treatment f Infeated Animals.' Colts, cattle nud live stock may be treated for Dec, but iiIik the quar ters are cleaned up and dWInfceted they will constantly le-H est. All litter should tie taken out .nnd re moved, the partition, floors, ceiling and manger should be whitewashed or sprayed with any good Ib-e disin fectant, and this should lie repented In ten days to make a thorough job of lice destruction, says the American Agriculturist. For treatment of the Infested ani mal any of tbe coal tar sheep dips now on the market wHI answer the purpose. All Infested part sbould be carefully wled witb tbe solution, and there I no objection to going over the entire animal. A good home remedy I secured by mixing a pint of linseed oil. 1 eight tnbleKoiiftil of oil of tar and eight tableKoonfuls of sulphur. This I rubbed on the affected parts once a day for a couple of day and allowed to remain for a few days, after which it Is washed off with soap and water. An application In a week or ten days ' to destroy a new- brood from the egg will be ndvlsnble. , Pumpkins For Live Stock. Pumpkin are worth approximately two-thirds as much as ensilage for raws or sbeep. Brood sow will make ; good use of them, write II. P. Miller j In the Ohio Farmer. In the ration of i fattening bogs they should occupy j about tbe same place a grass. Per- j baps M per ton would be a fair money value to place non field pumpkins , for feeding cattle, sheep or bogs. It j will be noted that they contain so much water that no animal should be confined to pumpkins alone. Cliamberlaln's Liniment This preparation is Intended es pecially for rheumatism, lame back, sprains and like ailments. It Is a favorite with people who are well ac quainted with its splendid qualities. Mrs. Charles Tanner, Wabash, Ind., says of it, "I have found Chamber lain's Liniment the best thing for lame back and sprains I have ever ! used. It works like a charm an1 re- lleves pain and soreness. It has hern used by others of my family as well as myself for upwards of l.vonty years." 25 and 60 cent bo.'e tor sale by all dealers.
