SUPPLY OF GRAIN FOR HENS
Fowls Will Consume More Food in
Spring Than In Fall Amount
Varies With Breeds.
The feeder must use his own Judg
ment In deciding how much grain to
give the hens, ns the amount of feed
which they will ent varies with dif
ferent pens nnd at different seasons
of the year. They will eat more feed
In the spring while lnylng henvlly
than the summer nnd fall when laying
fewer eggs.
A fair general estlmnte Is nbout one
quart of scratch grains nnd nn equal
weight of mash (about one nnd a half
quarts) dally lo 13 hens of the gen
eral purpose breeds, such as the Ply
mouth Rocks, Hhode Islnnd Reds, or
Wynndottes, or to 10 hens of the small
er or egg breeds. This would ho about
seven nnd a half -pounds each of
scratch grains nnd of mnsh dnlly to
300 Leghorns ni?tl nbout nine nnd a
half pounds of ench to 100 general
purpose fowls. If hens have free
range or Inrge ynrds containing green
feed a general purpose hen will ent
about 75 pounds of feed In n year nnd
a Leghorn will cat about 55 pounds, in
addition to the green stuff consumed,

RID FLOCKS OF ALL VERMIN
Regular Attention and Proper Treat

Lice and Mites.
It Is absolutely unnecessary for poul

lice or mites. Regular attention and
proper treatment of tho quarters will
rid tho lloek of mites, nnd If body
lice nre found the birds should bo

place Is provided where tho hens can
dust themselves they will keep tho
lice in check.

GLAZED STAGE BEST SILAGE

of Specialists.
The question, "When Is the best time
to cut corn for silnge?" Is again being

for tho silo when the kernels nre well

chemists Jinve shown thnt the corn
from nn average acre cut at the glazing
period contnlns 7,308 pounds of di
gestible mntter as against 4.220 pounds
when the corn Is cut at tnssellng time.
Wliilo there Is a larger amount of
green corn to the acre when tho corn

RED CLOVER ON DAIRY FARM

The roots of red clover penetrate tho

bring up valuable fertilizing elements,
hence the soil thai has become worn
out for clover production Is In pretty
bad condition. On the dairy farm,
there Is little need for this condition
to come about. The application of

ORIGIN OF AYRSHIRE BREED
Scotch Cattle Are Quick, Brisk and
Seem to Have Abundant Store
of Efficiency
Tho Ayrshire breed originated In
the county of Ayr, In southwestern
Scotland. In that region, which bor

rolling and has much rough woodland.
Pastures, therefore, nro somewhat
sparse and It Is necessary for nnlnmls
to graze Inrge areas In order to ob
tain sufficient feed.
It In only within the Inst hundred
years that Ayrshlres have had a type
well enough established to be entitled
to the designation of breed. No exact
account of the different Infusions of
blood of other breeds Into the nnllve
Scotch cattlo to form the Ayrshire
breed Is at hand. It Is prohnble. bow
ever, that the Channel Islands, Dutch
and English cnttlo were all repre
sented. The first Importation of Ayrshlres
to this country wus made In 1822.
since which time there have been fre

the Canndlan climate. Tho merits of
tho breed hnvo not been advertised
widely; consequently If Is not well

The colors of Ayrshlres mny vary
from n medium red to n very dark
mahogany brown nnd white, with
either color predominating. Of Into
years among breeders there hns been
n decided tendency townrd white with
red markings. A black muzzle and n
white switch are desired, but are not
necessary for registration. Perhaps
the most picturesque feature of nnl
inals of the breed Is their long horns,
which turn outwnrd, then forward
nnd upward. Another point of which

ways to hove an abundant store of
energy nnd to be exceptionally alert.
Ayrshlres have a highly uervous dis
position, which Is useful for both pro

none of tho other dnlry breeds can
compare with the Ayrshlres In ability
to obtain n livelihood on scant pas

made them very useful In sections
where tin-re is much rough land In

In weight tho cows may vary from
1)00 to L.'IOO pounds (average about
1,000 pounds) ; bulls weigh between
1,400 nnd 2.000 pounds (average about
1.(500 pounds). The nnlmnls are no
ticeably compact In body, with a ten
dency to smoothness over nil parts,
formerly they were criticized for
their short tents, but that fault has
been removed largely by careful
breeding. As u breed Ayrshlres nre
