Chickens Need Balanced Rations.
Improper feeding of young chick
ens is injuring the reputation of Ne
braska as a poultry state, according
to poultry specialists of the State
College of Agriculture. Young
chickms marketed from farms aie
so unfinished that hotels must buy
from packers, who finish out the
chickens after buying them fiom the
farmers. These unfinished young
chickens are known as the nirplane
type all wings nnd machinery.
Buyers say the unwillingness of many
people to feed grain nnd finish out
their young chickens holds the j)nce
down. The theory that young chick
ens obtain enough grain foraging
about the place is wrong, specialists
declare. As a rule they do not get
enough to keep' them growing and
properly finish them for the market.
As a result they are marketed when
little more than skin nnd bones,
A Refrigerator Without Ice
Homes without ice may obtain a
high degree of satisfaction from an
icelcss refrigerator, according to a
circular sent out by the Nebraska
College of Agriculture. An iceless
nfrair that will do surprisingly well
in keeping food cool can be made by
nlmost any boy in a half a day, It
consists of a wooden frame covered
with canton flannel, burlap or heavy
duck. Wicks made of the same ma
terial as the cover, and sewed on top
of each side of the cover, extend in
to a bucket or pan of wnter on top
of the refrigerator. The water seeps
over the sides of the pan and down
the sides of the cooler, and the evap
oration from this moisture draws the
heat from the inside and causes a
lower temperature for the food. The
circular gives full directions for
making the iceless refrigerator, in
cluding a list of materials needed.
The refrigerator is especially well
adapted to western Nebraska condi
tion". Those interested should ask
their county agricultural agent or
hone ngent to write The College of
Agriculture for house equipment cir-cula-
No. 3, "Iceless Refrigerator."
A number of iceless refrigerators
sold by commecial concerns are said
to l.e giving satisfaction.
Threshing .Machines Need Watching
An enormous waste of grain and
great loss of time result every year
through the inefficient work of
threshing machines that

B to the Unit-
properly repaired and
working order before
of the season, according
ed States Department of Agriculture
which is distributing free through
the State College of Agriculture two
bulletins on the repair and opera
tion of grain separators. Bulletin
103G, "Care and Repair of Farm I in
plements Grain Separators." dis-
Operation of Threshing Mil
chines," deals in detail with the
proper threshing of grain. Accord-
ing to this publication, Improper
speed Is often the cause of heavy
grain losses, Care should liu taken
to seo that tho separator is operated
at the proper speed and that the on-
gine has enough reserve power to
handle extra loads. When the speed
varies too much, more or less loss of
grain is unavoidable. Both bulle-
tins may be obtained through county
agricultural agents or from the Col
lege of Agriculture, Lincoln.
