Two Western Reserve students went out and had a good time, or what they thought was a good time, Saturday evening. And they ambled homeward at about the midnight hour, and it occurred to one of them, a sad wag, to ring the bell at the residence of a certain professor. No sooner thought tlnu accomplished. The professor, who lives on Adelbert road, stuck his head out of the upper window. "What is it?" he asked. "One of your windows is open, pro fessor." "Thank you, gentlemen. Which window." "The one you've got j*our head out of." Then they ran. Oh. college days:? Cleveland Plain Dealer. TIMELY HINTS rnn runurno run rnnmcno i I ? ,, Fattening Fowls. The Pennsylvania station suggests the following grain rations for fattening poultry as having been used with success: Where a yellow flesh is wanted a ration should be made of cornmeal, Ave parts: ground oats, hulls removed, two parts; animal meal, one part. Mix with sour milk. Where a whiter flesh is wanted the following rations are recommended: Cornmeal, two parts; grouna DucKwneat, iwu puiws, giuuuu oats, two parts. Mix with sour milk. Another?barley meal, two parts; middlings, two parts; buckwheat, two parts; cornmeal, one part. Mix with sour milk. Another?the refuse from shredded wheat and sour milk. When birds are confined for fattening sour milk aids digestion and keeps the system from getting feverish. If no milk is available some form of animal or green food must be supplied to make the best gains. Feed the Fall Piga. It used to be the practice years ago to keep pigs or hogs until eighteen months old before killing, in this way obtaining a slower and larger growth, but this is not much practiced now. With present methods it is found better and cheaper to grow and fatten pigs so that at the age of from six to i ten months old they will make the best kind of meat for the market or home use. But to do this they must ke kept 1 steadily growing and fattening from the first, having all the milk and grain feed they can eat and properly assimilate. This is found to be cheaper per pound of gain than keeping them twice as long. Profit In Horse Raising. The farmer who is planning to raise more horses that are up to the demands of the market will be the one that will succeed with live stock. Every year the city markets are calling fori more horses, and, even though J- the supply , does not meet the demand. -only one horse out of every three Is found up to the standard. It looks as If there ought to be money In it for the man who can raise the horses that meet the required standard. PROPER FEEDING OF YARDED HENS. Variety of Grains anil Enrclse Ire Necessary. In feeding grain to yarded fowls a heavy litter of straw should be provided in a dry place and changed once a month. The grain should be mixed equal parts by measure'of corn, wheat and oats or Kaffir, wheat and oats, this to be fed in the litter twice a day very sparingly of mornings and all they will clean up of evenings. For poultry on range the morning feed may be omitted if there is a millet stack handy, which there should be, says the Kansas Farmer. The evening feed should be scattered over a large area to give all a ehance to get what they will eat. as nothing is gained by stinting poultry on feed, or other siutriv, lur iuui muuer. A variety of grains ground fine and kept before th? poultry at all times in feed troughs covered with wire net-, ting is a great In egg production and also for young, growing stock. For yarded fowls alfalfa meal and beef scrap should be added at the rate by weight of one-tenth beef scrap and one-tenth meal. Laying hens should also have oyster shell kept before them. Unless one has alfalfa eloee to the poultry houses oats should be planted the latter part of March. In sowing oats for poultry it is best to sow them thick on top of the ground, then plow them under. This places the seed and roots of the plant too deep for the fowls to scratch out and makes green pasture for them until weeds and grass start. Then they stop working on the oats, which gives tliem a chance to mature and make a seed crop. Around the Farm. Do not let the farm animals stay out in a storm this time of year. Feed the hens some green food. Cabbages are good; so are beets. Would it not be better to milk a less number of cows this year and have better ones? Scions may be cut any time now when not frozen and kept in damp sand until time to set. Select a warm day in February and properly cut back the grapevines. If neglected until spring the vines "bleed" too much, so it had better be done now. A stormy day may be turned to good account in oiling the harness and perhaps taking a few stitches here and there or perhaps put in a few rivets. If well served it is better as a general thing, however, than rivets. Ventilation For the Hogs. A house to accommodate a single sow does not need a great deal of ventilation, although there should be enough to keep the air In good condition. but where a dozen or more hog* are kept in the same house perfect ventilation Is necessary.
