FARM NOTES, Frepixe OngArLy.—Much of the profit im keeping poultry as well as other stock is determined by the cost of feeding. Theie are so many differ- ent condillons under which poultry must be fed that no set rules can be given that under anything like fair con- ditions can be considered as being the best, It is always an item to feed economi- cally, And to do this requires to some extent at least that the subject of feed- ing sheuld be carefully examined into, while it 1s hardly possible as with some other kinds of stock to feed each animal according to its wants, yet its possible to feed each breed according to its needs. A large breed will asa rule require a larger amount of feed than a small one and what may be suflicient to keep one breed ina good thrifty condi- tion will keep one of the smaller breeds entirely too fat, It 1s an item to keep the stock in a good thrifty condition and either extreme from this is to be avoided, Conflning to one kind of food usually costs more than to give a variety because in order to secure all the elements of nutrition in proper pro- portions to secure a good condition, we as a rule are often giving an excess of other essentials so that a better propor- tion of what is needed to sustain ani- mal life can be secured by making up a variety. On the farm as a rule by planning ahead the poultry food can be secured, mach of it of materials that would otherwise go to waste and in doing this fully a very fair varieLy may be secured. There are quite a number of materials that can be used with profi. If food must be purchased it is equally important to secure good nutri- tious foods and at the same time make up a variety taking the cost always into consideration, With animals of all kinds a certain aluount of food is necessary to sustain aniz:al life, This must be supplied first; after this flesh or growth may be secured. If we only feed such materi- als and in such quantities as to sustain animal life there will be no growth and with poultry no eggs. Let the cost of the foods be what they may we are los- ing feed wherever only a sufliclent amount to maintain animal life is sup- plied; we must Le able to secure sote- thing over and above this, or we lose the feed or the profit we might desire from it as well as the growth or eggs we might have secured from the stock. It costs a certain amount to keep allve whether a gan is realized or not; a little more feed adding a iittle more to the cost will in a waljorily of cases en- able us to realize a profit when other- wise the cost would Le more or less of a loss, It is pot therefore cheap feed- ing to so economize the feed as to oniy keep alive, no matter what kind o. mu terial is used. Tere isa prevalilng and popular idea that ipsects may be driven from into the wood, placing sulphur therein, and plugging the hole. There are some persons who profess to Lave tried the experiment with success, to have cleared trees, such as elms, of the de- stroylag worm, ete. Prof. C, V. Riley, Entomologist of the Department of Agriculture, pronounces these remedies as fallucious, ‘“*The belef in their eflicacy,” he says, *183 founded om the supposition that the poison passes with the sap 1ato general circulation and with 1 into the foliage, and is destructive to leaf-ieed- ing insects, It is an entirely unfounded idea, and is based upon ignorance of the fact that the substance remains in- tact, and is pot taken up in the circula- tion, Instances where it has seemed to suceeed have been recorded, and in such cases its apparent eflizacy was due to a coincident disappearance of the in- sect from some other cause, Sulphur which 1 plugged up in such holes many years ago was found to be perfectly un- changed after many months, All such remedies may be stamped as non- sense,”’ EXCEPT in the middle of the row the strawberry bed needs no cultiva- won unless the plants are grown in single stools, Lut to facilitate picking the erep all weeds that may appear should be pulled out by band as soon as possible. Every weed that is allowed to remain robs the plants and lessens the crop, Wood ashes are excellent for strawberries, but if commercial fertil- izers are used high grade salts of pot- ash, and at least two bags of superphos- phate per acre, will be the best form, and » should be applied early in the season, first raking off the mulch and breaking all lumps of the manare, so as to have all (he substances as fine as possible. If there is liability of dry weather, which is injurious to straw- berries, the use of chopped salt hay around the single stool plants will be of advan All fertilizers should be evenly distributed, and may be used liberally, THE excessive cost of producing pork on hog: over 8 or 19 months old or after they will dress 175 or 200 pounds, is emphasized by Professor Sanborn’s ex- periments, He shows thal the average Missouri hog Is kept to such an age that be consumes food worth at least $3.50 mi the bare effort to keep allve beyond the period at which he should have been killed. This makes a loss on all the bogs of Missouri of from $:2,~ 000,000 to $16,000,000, according to the number kept, Since the market de- mands light-weight hoga, the folly of keeping pigs to Lwiee the age at which they should be killed must be apparent toal Wer places around the cattle and hog Lrougt troughs soon become very muddy, in winter the troughs are at times almost fusccessible to the animals, as they are liable to become mired, In wBLLer tha Lhe [inane AF, / \¥ / 4 & | Lr Tom ff =e Be iT al fv An Important Errand “Now, my child, I nav which to buy me a hott!
