HINTS FOR FARMERS Cottonseed Meal For Hogs. A great many efforts have been made, especially by our southern ex periment stations, to utilize cottonseed meal as a pig ration. It is very high In portein, and if it were not for the fact that it seems to produce some dis eased condition of the hog it would be a valuable feed for balancing the car bonaceous corn, ration. The results of nearly all the experiments seem to in dicate the presence of some poisonous agent in cottonseed, which is fatal to the hog. No station has yet deter mined exactly what this agent ls, and no station has solved the problem of safely feeding it in any quantity, at least to swine. Where hogs follow cat tle which are receiving cottonseed meal as a portion of their ration there is practically no danger, provided the feed boxes are so arranged that the steers, do not root much, if any, of the cottonseed meal out-Farmers Advo cate. The Manure Spreader. Speaking of the advantage of manur ing land and the convenience of using the manure spreader, a writer, in the Homestead makes a report of wheat yield on land top dressed last fall and land not manured. In connection with the statement the writer says that the land top dressed was if anything poor er than that not manured. The writer says: "When thrashing the wheat was gathered from the top dressed portion first and 270 bushels were, thrashed Iromrit, making the yield thirty bush els to the acre. From the remaining sixteen acres but 200 bushels were thrashed, making that yield twelve and a half bushels to the acre. Thc top dressing with a spreader- made a dif ference of seventeen and a half bush els to the acre. Who will say the ma nure spreader does not pay?" Winter Feed For Poultry. In the fall of the year on every farm succulent food which would, be relish ed by the poultry and converted into money in the shape of high priced eggs is thrown away. Save the small potatoes which you have in years past been .feeding to the hogs. Maybe you have a surplus of cabbage. If so, save for chicken feed. The turnip crop may give you a surplus, and these will be relished by the hens this winter. The same is true of surplus beets. If the cellar cannot accommodate this chick en feed, dig a hole in the ground, place the potatoes, cabbage, turnips and beets therein and cover with a layer of straw and then with dirt to prevent freezing. It will pay to save this feed for the poultry. Orchard Pests. Twig blight often appears to a de structive extent upon young, thrifty apple and pear orchards. This is a bac terial disease, and no-amount of spray ing will be of service. Cut and burn ali affected parts and avoid highly ni trogenous fertilizers. Canker Is another serious pest Care fully cut out and burn all canker spots and paint the wounds with pure white lead and linseed ofl. The same may be used for black knot of plum and - cherry.-Maryland Station Bulletin. The Henhouse Floor. ' Dry earth from the roadside or from the fence rows should be gathered and put under cover before the fall rams set in. This earth, when free1 from sticks and stones, makes an excellent material to spread under the hen roosts during the winter. It ls cleaner . and better than sifted coal ashes. For fifty hens five one-horse cartloads would be ample. The earth should be gathered when dry, pct In barrels and kept under cover.-Baltimore Ameri can. Poultry on tho Farm. I The farm provides the ideal environ ment for poultry. The fine chickens of the country should be produced on the farm rather tuan on the city Jot There are no chickens so healthy and so vigorous as those grown on the farm. The farmer has opportunities in rearing pure bred poultry which are not afforded other breeders. Whole Corn For Hone. After comparing the merits of whole corn or cracked corn for laying hens the Maine experiment station concludes there ls nothing in the -results to sug gest that lt ls necessary or advisable to crack the corn for the hens kept for laying eggs. S?ock Liniment. ? A good liniment for ail kinds of swellings on ali farm animals is made by mixing equal parts of turpentine, sweet oil and spirits of camphor. Ap ply liberally, and . frequently to the swollen parts-Farmers Advocate. I Lies on Pigeons. If the old birds with eggs appear uneasy and leave the nest very fre quently to Indulge In nothing but pick ing themselves, Investigate at once, and you will probably find lice. Fattening Ducks. 4 When fattening ducks bear in mind ',- that plenty of green stuff will assist to 'make yellow flesh and fat while the absence of green stuff from the food tends to produce white flesh. The Poultry House. . Now is a goocl time to thoroughly renovate the poultry house. Clean out all the old nests. Burn the old nest material.
