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
