The Poultry House.
A chief reason for providing n house
for tho hens Is to give them shelter
from the severe cold, but there Is dan
ger of overdoing this. A henhouse
Is comfortable enough, even for lay
ing hens, If Its Interior is kept from
going much below the freezing point.
A dry, well ventilated house may be
quite cold and yet be coinfortnble for
nctlvo fowls. Plenty of litter to
scratch In during the day and burlap
curtains nt night will see them safely
through even severe weather without
loss of health or stoppage of egg pro
duction If tho feeding nnd other condi
tions are correct Western Poultry

Clover For Horses.
It has been shown by experiment
that horses will make larger gains in
llesh nnd fat on clover or alfalfa hay
than on any other kind of hay. Clover
must be fed more sparingly than tim
othy and must never be fed In moldy
condition. Clover and blue grass pas
ture is unexcelled for putting young
nnd old horses in good llesh and for
giving them spirit and action.
Rapo Relished by Flock.
Rape Is one of the most valuable of
foods for sheep. It is keenly relished
nnd produces rapid gains both iu grow
ing and fattening stock. It is nn easy
crop to grow and yields abundantly
when properly handled.
FEED GREEN BONE TO
FOWLS IN WINTER
Excellent For Egg Production
and Breeding Pens,
I think there nre too many poultry
men and women who are overlooking
this important subject, and they nre
making a very great mistake when
they do, for they cannot possibly get
another food that will take the place
of green bone at double the price.
There Is no other food that will
make a hen lay as green bono will,
if you feed green bone to your hens In
the winter months you will get a 50
per cent better egg yield than you
would If you had not fed it.
Some differ ns to how much greeu
bone to feed n hen nnd when best to
food It. writes a correspondent of the
Poultry Tribune. Green bono Is best
fed ut noou. and feed one ounce per
hen per day. If green bone is fed too
heavy you are liable to cause diarrhea,
and this might cause you more trouble
If not watched closely. Remember that
you should not feed green bone today
nnd thou skip two or three days and
then try to feed enough to make up
for tho time lost. If you practice this
you are sure to get into trouble. You
should feed tho same every day and
ns near the same time as possible.
Aim to feed your fowls with as much
regularity as you possibly can and you
will find It will make a big difference.
Again, If you will feed green bone to
your breeding birds you will find that
the eggs will be more fertile and will
hatch stronger and healthier chickens.
Prevention of Hog Diseases.
Where large bunches of hogs are fed
on tho earao lot year after year dlseaso
Is almost suro to tako Its toll In time
unless thorough cleaning and disinfect
ing are tho practice. Disease germs
accumulate season nfter season, tho
ground becomes filthy, needs air, nnd
when n real favorablo time comes tho
hogs will suffer. Where possible about
the best way to clean a lot Is to plow
It nnd grow n cultivated crop on It
Cleanliness Is tho great dlseaso enemy.
Clearing Gardens.
Clearing up and removing all growths
along the margins of a garden and
fields with thorough, continuous culti
vation will give almost complete Im
munity from cutworms, grubs, etc.
Cut tho fading bloom stalks from tho
phloxes, work the soil, dig some fer
tilizer about tho roots, water well and
Induce new growth, when they should
bloom until frost cuts them down.
PLANT TREES TO
BEAUTIFY TOWN
Suggestions For Their Care In
the Fall and Winter.
SELECT THE SMALL SPECIMENS
Laroo One Not Recommended, ai
Their Growth I Questionable How
to Keep Them From Being Dam
aged Hlnti on Fertilizing.
If you have only a few trees In jour
town nnd wish to make it attractive,
talk trees and shrubs to your couacil
men, ngitate tho question among the
neighbors of procuring more and hare
them planted In tho streets nnd wher
ever they will tend to Improve th
community you live In. Tcrtinent sug
gestions ou this line nre given In the
Chicago Tribune by J. H. Prost, Chi
cago's city forester, who says:
Now is the time for citizens and im
provement associations to make prep
arations to do fall planting.
Several associations already have or
dered trees in large numbers to be di
vided among their members according
to their orders. This is an admirable
expression of civic pride, Besides, the
association can get them much more
reasonable by ordering all tho trees
wanted by Its members nt once nnd
from the same nursery.
Hcmember the essentials of tree
planting. Get n small tree about two
or two and one-half inches in dlnme
ter one foot from the ground. The
large trees are uot to be recommended
6lnce their growth is questionable.
Provide a good foundation for growth
by making a hole somewhat larger
than required by the root system, say
WI11B NETTING OUA1ID TOU THECS.
about three feet In diameter and about
two and one-half feet deep for a two
and one-half Inch tree. Fill the hole
with good rich soil, which can be got
from vacant lots or purchased from
the nearby florists.
A stout box or Iron tree guard or a
wire netting protector should be placed
around tho tree trunk so as to protect
It from hungry horses, careless team
sters and the lawn mower. It also
ucts as a support
Manure and fertilizer may be ap
plied to your trees and shrubs at this
time of the year. This manure should
bo spread over the ground around tho
tree and left lying until spring, when
it may be raked together and burned
or spaded Into the ground.
Whenever possible nil the leaves
dropping from the shrubs should bo
left lying on the ground. They furnish
a winter mulch and form a leaf mold
which is as good ns any fertilizer. All
dead wood and unsightly branches can
bo removed at this time of tho year
without affecting tho tree. Timely
tree trimming Is one of tho great ca
scntlnls in proper tree development
The simplest rule to follow In trim
ming ornamental trees Is this: Cut out
all the dead wood, withered branches,
stubs or main trunks ns soon ns they
are seen. All living branches which
aro objectionable Bliould bo cut out
early la the spring.
All cuts should bo made with a sharp
saw, well set Tho cut should be made
close and parallel with tho parent
branch from which It grew, and tho
tut should be left smooth or with a
slightly concave surface. Tho wound
should then bo covered with a heavy
coating of coal tar to aid In keeping
out tho moisture and rot spores.
Whero the treo has been neglected
and cavities have formed in the trunk
of the treo something should be done
to stop the increase of tho opening, for
the rotting will continue until the
opening has become so long as to en
tlrclo tho greater portion of the tree,
and very often tho entlro center has
been destroyed.
In cases whero tho llfo of a treo can
bo prolonged by treating It the cavity
should be carefully scraped and
cleaned of all the dead and decayed
wood; then give It a thorough wash
ing or spraying with a solution of cop
per sulphate.
