This is the gist of a talk on poultry
feeding given by Prof. L. E. Card, an
authority on the subject:
He recommends a mash, consisting
of equal parts of bran, flour middlings,
cornmeal, ground heavy oats and beef
scraps. Heavy ground oats was spe-
cifically mentioned for this mash, as
the hens cannot stand very much food
fibre such as may be found in light
oats, For a grain feed, he recom-
mends equal parts of corn and wheat,
the measured part of which should be
kept about even. For instance, for
Leghorns, he recommends the feeding
of two pounds per hundred hens of
sceateh feed in the morning and six
pounds in the evening. For the heav-
ier breeds he recommends about three
pounds in the morning and seven in
the evening.
is purpose in feeding lignt in the
morning is to encourage the hens to
eat the mash, so as to get their re-
quired proportions of meat scraps.
Hens naturally like scratch feed the
best, but if fed light early in the day,
they will fill up on mash and then in
the evening will -finish up on wretch
feed. By this system of feeding they
will eat more than they would
ortlinartly.
In order to keep the hens in good
layartg condition he teem:mends that
the- scratch should gradually be cut
down, starting about the first of
Mai -eh, until about the first of Novem-
ber they win get about half as much
as recoinmeaded above. In other
words, Leghorns will receive approxi-
mately one pound of scratch feed in.
the morning and three in the evening.
This is to encourage the hens to at
more mash in order that they be pre-
pared to do their active laying during
the fail months when egg prices are
high. Starting November 1, the
acratch need should be increased
gradually until the full amount is
given.
Ile says many poultry feeders make
inquiry' about the use of tankage, In -
of beef scrape. From his ex-
eerie/ice he finds that tankage will not
produce the number of eggs that beef
scraps do. But if it can be bought at
e10 per ton less than meat scraps, it
nculd be worth using as a substitute,
as the meat scraps will not produce
though more eggs to make up the
difference in 'cost.
Making a Rooster Crow.
I want to tell the movie folks that
a rooster can be taught to crow at any
time and as often as desired. When
I was a boy, a friend gave me a
Cochin -China cockerel. I took good
care of him, and he grew to be a
whopper.
Corn in those days was the main
grain feed for stock, and every day I
had to chop corn in the erib for eight
or ten cew,s. The Toaster, with a lot,
of hens, was always present to pick
; up the stray grains. When the supply
of grains would become slack Coclain

Free Distribution of Grain,
A free distribution of saperior sorts
of grain will be tiane duringthe tione.
ing winter to Canadian farmers by
the Cereal Division of the Expert -I
mental Farms Braueh, Ottawa. The
ea -males will -consist of spring wbeat
(about 6 lbs,), white oats (about 4
lbs.), barley (about 5 lbs.), field peas
(not garden pee—about 5 lbs.) field
bean(About 2 lbs.), fax for seed and.
flax ler fibre (about 2 lbs.).
The Cereal Division of the Expern
mental Farms Breech bas improved
many of the old varieties of grain and
introduced many new varieties. The
best of them have been multiplied and,
propagated under direct supervisionl
o responsible offs on the Expern
mental Farms both east and west.
This seed will form the bulk stock
from which the -various samples will
be taken. The seed is therefore the
purest and best that is obtainable. Of
some of the more recent introductions,
there is only a limited supply, so it
would be advisable to applya
as possible for these.
Among the grains for distribution
will be found the Liberty hullers oat,
an oat that is excellent for human use,
and to a limited extent for young live-
stock, Among the wheats, the most
outstanding for distribution will be
the Ruby wberit, a Wheat that ripens.
from eight to ten days earlier than
Marquis and is suitable for districts
where Marquis is not early enough.
This year among the barleys will be
found Charlottetown No. 80. This is•
a two -rowed barley that has a tend-
ency to drop its awns. The supply of
this variety is very limited. Tile hope
also to distribute Himalayan narley,
a hiltless variety which is a good
yielder and suitable for young live-
stock. There will be only ane variety'
of peas for distribution, namely
ineekay Ottawa 25 which, is a main
crop pea and not suited to distriets
where early nrosts occur.
The object of the distribution is
twofold; first, tbat the farmer men
get a small sample of goad seed to
start his seed plot; second, that the
Cereal Division may find out how
their improved graias, will behave
under various conditions of soil and
climate. Therefore, it is necessary
that all the information asked for on
the application form should be fully
answered. This also holds e witb
the report farms winch each MOD is
asked to fill out after he has growls
the sample:
Application must be made on a
printed form whieli will be supplied
by the Cereal Division, Central Ex-
perimental Farm, Ottawa. (No post-
age is required an letters 'so address-
ed). No application forms will be
supplied after February 15th, 1923.
Farmers are advised to send at onee
for forms in order not to be disap-
pointed, as in some cases the stock is
limited, The allotment of samples
will be made in order o1 epplivation.

Caring for the Herd Sire
It has been said that "the bull is
half the herd," but the truth of the
matter is that, weighed. in the milk
scales and in the annual balance sheet,
he is far more than half the herd. In
truth, the whole success and future of
the dairy industry depends upon the
bulls used by dairymen. The purebred
sire indelibly starnns his progeny with
the "trade -mark" of his own breed,
and his owner soon feels the direct
benefits resulting therefrom.
For the fernier of average means
the best plan is to buy a young bull
whose maternal ancestors ;during sev-
eral generations snowed great yearly
milk and butterfat production records.
Only bulls whieh have the backing of
closely -related, high -producing antes -
tors can improve a herd. Keep this
point in mind: Most good bulls are
registered, but not all registered bulls
are good. The prepotent bull stamps
his calves with his own desirable qual-
ities. Therefore he must have desir-
able quelities, and he must be strong
and energetic in order to unfailingly
pass them on. Look for the wide muz-
zle, the broad forehead, prominent
eye, deep chest, big barrel, open -
jointed frame, long, straight rump and
loose skin, all combined in the good-
sized animal. In addition to outstand-
ing maeculinity, strive for vigor and
vitality in the new herd sire. Beware
of the undersized, lazy, dull -eyed. hull;
he is never a money maker for his

the damage and gives us the facts for
items such as this, so cominordy seen,

that the offending animal was the "pet
of the family." The safe ;bull is the
one that is never given an opportunity
to be otherwise, and that is not per-',
mitten to run at large in the pasture'
with the cows.
Many young growing bulls are
underfed, whereas the aim should be
to get eaely, steady and rapid growth
that guarantees size, stamina and vi-
tality for the mature animal. A good
growing ration for the young bull is:
Skim -milk, clover or alfalfa bay, sil-
age or roots, one to five pound's, de-
pending upon his age, and one-half to
one pound of the following grain mix-
ture: Oats, three parts; vrheat bran,
one part; corn, one part; and oilmeal,
one-tenth part. The mature bull re-
quires feed that gives strength and
vitality, but not fat He should re-
ceive from eight to fifteen pounds of
silage daily, but no more. A good
ration for him is: Silage, eight to
fifteen _pounds; hay, eight to twelve
pounds, and grain minture, two to
four pounds, consisting of three parti
of oats and one part of wheat bran.
I could set him to crowing any time
he was not too full. I am sure I can
prove the possibility of it by training
another rooster to do the same thing
in a very short time. -4. S. Sargent.
