On the Farm SALT FOB POULTRY, Salt to some quantity is it neces- sity to the living animals. Some, foods contain all the salt- thut is. probably needed, but trhe amount• in others is small. In order to , guard against any possible defic -• ency it is well to feed some salt,. especially if it increases. the pala- tability of . the ration.', Moderate quantities of salt hadt been fed to poultry with apparent• advantage, but the limitations of its nee were not known,, A feed- ing trial was therefore made with, twelve hens to get some suggestion. as to the approximate limit of its.. salt feeding to mature fowls, For one lot of hens salt was mixed in, n amount in a by the food, increasing periods of feeding. Until it was• fwd at the rate of .000 ounces per day per fowl (nearly one-half pint. per day for 100 hens) no bad ef- fects were noticed. With this. amount, however, diarrhoea at- tacked a few of the hens, but the. trouble .disappeared when the' amount of salt in the food was re- duced about one-third. When the... 1 ons were allowed free - access to boxes of coarser barrel salt, not. enough was eaten to show any ill effect, either by hens that had been, fed salt freely for two months, or by those that had been without any fur the same time. Little significance was attached. to the egg yield from these old hens fed at an unproductive time• n` tho,year, but twice as many eggs were obtained from the salt -fed hens as from the others. Whom re- porting the experiment it was sug gcrted that salt at the rate of one, ounce' per day for 100 mature fowls. could be fed without risk. In the later feeding it was found that five ounces of salt in every hundred pounds of food was a safe propor- tion. The station has not advised. the feeding of any salt to young chicks or until they are two or three months old, EARLY SEEDING REQUIRED.

The crop may be harvested economically by cutting peas with. a mower equipped with a pea lift- ing attachment. The crop moat be thoroughly 'cured in small covered: bunches it is pointed out, before' it is stored. This value of the pea crop lies- both in the worth of the peas as a• feed for farm animals, and in the - beneficial effect of the plant as -a. suii improver. The average yield of an acre of peas contains more. digestible protein than any other common Ontario grain crop, and. the yield of peas per acre averages• above wheat. The heavy yielding varieties furnish excellent food for pigs, and sheep may be fed pea straw as roughage with good re- sults, since it compares favorably with clover and timothy hay as a feed. Pea,growingfor soil improvement is quite profitable on sandy lands that are especially lacking in hu- ms. Peas are a good crop to sow an clover or timothy sods the first year after breaking, ae theygreat- ly aid in subduing the soil. The peas should then be :followed by a - crop of grain, .and the land seed- ed to c eed-edtoc lover, The pea crop also increases the nitrogen in the soil, as the plant gathers nitrogen from the air with the aid of nitrogen bacteria.
