the quantity added should hn about the

FOWLS NEED PROTEIN
Nitrogenous Material Essential
to Egg Production.
small Proportion of Beef Scrap With
Bran, Shorts and Whole Wheat
Produces Good Results Says
Kansas Expert.
Protein Is essential to hcuvy egg
production. In just what form to sup
ply this food element Is a (juestlon that
puzzles muny fanners, as well us
townspeople, who are not In a posi
tion to grow their own feed.
Insects In season furnish much
protein where the birds are on ruuge.
Poultry feeders have used raw meats
ar by-products of packing plants,
known us beef scrap. As tho demand
has increased, tho price of tho latter
has advanced. Now a few poultry
rulsers consider it too expensive and
aro supplying protein through vege
table sources.
Cottonseed meal is the most com
monly used substitute, but where this
has been given in pluco of ull other
heavy protein supplying feeds, the re
sult has not been all that could bo de
sired, points out N. L. Harris, super
intendent of tho poultry furm at the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
On the other hand, where cottonseed
meal has been used ns u supplement to
beef scrap at tho rate of CO per cent of
the ration, it apparently has given as
good results as uu exclusive meat
,scrap diet. On account of the bulk
L needed it is impossible for u hen to
J consume enough sour milk or butter

constitute 10 per cent of the ration, in
the opinion of Mr. Harris.
the water. The water Is then drawn
off through the same strainer used for
the buttermilk. The same quantity of
water, at the same temperature, is
again added, and the washing opera
tion is repeated until the water drawn
from the churn shows no color of but
termilk. In addition to removing but
termilk the wash water has the effect
of hardening the butter.
Salting and Working Butter.
After the washing in the churn has
been Mulshed the butter-worker Is
scalded and cooled with cold water to
swell the pores of the wood and pre
vent the butter from sticking. The
churn Is then drawn near the worker
and the butter granules are taken
from the churn with a paddle and ladle
and placed on the worker. The hands
should never touch the butter, as their
warmth melts the fat, and If they are
not clean such handling Is Insanitary.
The butter is salted on the worker.
Fine, clean salt in the proportion of
one ounce to the pound of butter
should be sprinkled uniformly over the
butter. More or less salt may be used
as the taste of the consumer may pre
fer. Working the butter should be done
by pressing the pile of granules with
the lever until the butter Is In a fat
mass about one inch thick. This should
then be folded over upon itself and
the flattening process repeated, the
butter being pressed carefully In order
to avoid making it greasy. It should
bo worked in this way until the salt is
evenly distributed throughout tho
mass. The working of butter dis
tributes the salt nnd expels the excess
moisture. The edges of the butter
when broken or pulled apart should
have a granular appearance similar to
broken cast steel or a broken half
baked potato. Properly worked but
ter retains Its granular form at ull
times. Too much working or working
the butter when too soft destroys the
grain, nnd the edges when broken or
pulled apart have a slightly stringy
appearance, like chewing gum pulled
apart.

MANNER OF SEALING A SILO
When Not to Be Opened at Once Some
Farmers Run In Few Loads of
Cornstalks and Wet Them.
When tho sllo Is not to bo opened

Others put on oats strnw, two or
three Inches of earth or wet sawdust
or nn Inch of oats, which sprout and
effectually senl the sllo so that little

When the sllo Is opened the rotten
sllnge should be drawn out and spread
where cattle cnunot get It.

DO IT NOW, GOOD WATCHWORD
Habit of Procrastination Has Never
Yet Failed to Brinn Train of
Evils in Itc Wake.
"Sometime" is a useful word that Is
often overworked, remarks the Mil
waukee Journal. One says, "Someilmo
I will do It," hut Uptime never comes.
Sometime Is no time when a kind deed
Is to he done. Sometime Is no (line
when a dellnlte task Is to be done.
A thing put off beyond Its rightful
time encroaches on time allotted by
right to other duties. One may think
be Is paining time by postponing the
duty of the hour. In fact, he Is wnst
Itig time. "Tomorrow" and ever "to
morrow" has been the ruin of many.
Do now thu thing that should he done
now. Have you had a quarrel, and are
you ready for w.'coiiclllation? Do not
postpone It. The other person may get
hardened In bis views and become un
willing to be reconciled. He may dlo
and leave to you a lasting regret that
you iail not made friends. Would you
help someone? Do not wait till help
is past being help. Tut off till "to
morrow" mending the fence, and your
neighbor's cattle will havi; found tho
weal; place and made havoc with your
grain. Tut off ptiylng your Insurance,
and perhaps a lire will destroy all
you have. Debts do not grow less by
postponing payvicnt. "Do It now" Is a
good watchword. Say the kind word,
do the klrid deed, perform the duly of
the hour.
