The roadside sign sells goods, bu tan you afford to pay more for a pub- licly Iocated farm in order to make these sales? I have. talked with. sev- eral men who made specialties of fruit, honey, dairy products, and poultry, and had tried signboards. "Don't believe it is worth while," Bald one man, "unless you have a Steady product, keep a display out in ;vont of the home, and have someone to look after it. You can figure en s spasmodic business." "So far as that big sign along the Inter -urban ' is concerned," another Man told me, "I might as well have saved the lumber and paint' it took to make is, Folks used to seeing signs don't notice whether they are tobacco, fresh eggs, or clothing advertise - Silents." "I sell considerable stuff from my sign," said a lady who' had an attrac- tive bulletin board along a much - traveled road. "Sometimes we dispose of perishable stuff, or small quantities not worth advertising in the paper. It quite a bother though. A good many want to visit, and while they' C. SMITH, t have spare time, I haven't. That is one reason T wonder sometimes if it pays me." I asked a professor of poultry hus- bandry for his opinion about` selling from salesboards. Ile said: "Personally would prefer the farm less' prominently located—provided it was on an improved road near school and church. I figure that my time would be worth more right out at work than it would be in looking after sporadic sales that 'come from my signboards." "We sold all of our fallen apples. last season, simply by writing a notice on the bulletin," said'a prominent farmer. "We don't specialize like a lot of folks, but when we' have any- thing to sell it doesn't take long to get rid of it." A road sign will sell' things, and there is reason to recommend it for certain purposes, but opinions indicate that the' specialty farm needs a' more regular outlet than this affords. I believe it is doubtful whether one can afford to pay much extra for the lo- cation of a specialty for its advertis- ing 'value. POULTRY For years many poultry enthusiasts have said that leg weakness in young chicks is caused by feeding too fatten- ing a ration, which causes the body to grow faster than the muscles, and makes too much weight on the frail legs. Others have declared that lack of exercise causes' early hatched chicks which have been making a rapid growth suddenly to lose the use of their legs without losing their ap- petites orshowing' P any other signs of disease. Still another theory has been that too high a temperature, te- gether with dirty quarters, were the 'primary causes of leg weakness. Although the cause of the trouble was not definitely known, the remedy has been the cornnion knowledge of poultrymen for a long while, and sin - ply consists in allowing the chicks the liberty of an outdoor run. We know now that,leg weakness in chicks comes from digestive disturb - armee brought on by the poor elimina- tion of waste from the bodies of. the chicks, The rations lack a sufficient amount of inert material, which' causes the quick cleansing of the di- gestivetract. Giving oil does not but feeding a ration g that is hi •h in g. inert material prevents the"develop- ment of the trouble, and aids in re- lieving it after it has developed. This' fan be supplied by crtting paper. up very finely and adding it to the ration, Tho most satisfactory method of preventing—or. curing—the trouble is to allow the chicks to have access to fresh earth. One - spring we were both- ered with leg weakness and it was im- possible to turn the chicks out, as we were having a very cold, wet spring. So, as it was impractical to let the chicks to the soil, we brought the soil to the chicks. Every morning, noon and evening a big blue -grass sod Wes brought to the chicks. The -se sods were put in the brooder house, upside down, for a couple, of hours, until the chicks had picked out all the roots, and eaten all the earth their systems required. Then the sods were turned over so that the biddies could ' help themselves' - to the tender green grass. We also cut down a little on the amount of dry mash and scratch feed and in only a few days the chicks' were improving. Of course, had the weather ,been different, we would have let the chicks out during the warm part of the day, but our way proved a very good sub- stitute. ,.

DAIRY Feeding a well-balanced grain ra- tion to cows, on pasture markedly in- creases the milk flow, helps to balance the' grass ration and .keeps .the cows in good conditi'o'n.' ' Pasture during the Spring and early summer months may supply the needs of the dairy herd, but having grown very rapidly, it possesses a large am- ount of succulent matter in propor- tion to its dry content, consequently is low' in nutritive food value. Cows always flush in milk flow dur- ing the early pasturing season; but later, the flow rapidly declines. This is due 'to the fact that grass is a natural milk -producing feed. How- ever, for the dairyman to make the most of the grassseason he must not allow his cows to become overworked. Whena ration is inadequately bal- anced, like spring grass, there is dan- ger that the large milk flow is being accomplished at the cost of other fac- tors which must be taken into consid- eration, if milk production is to be kept up throughout the milking period. I know that my cows keep in better flesh, come through the early pastur- ing season in better condition to meet trying conditions later, when I ke up the grain ration during the seri and early summer months. I fe mostly farm -grown grains, such as ground oats,: corn meal, wheat bran with an allowance of pne and one-half pounds of cottonseed per animal per day.—L. R.

Swinging out on the slender branch- es of the elm or smaller trees is the pretty basket -shaped nest, woven by the oriole. This is the most admired of all bird nests. The twigs are. woven skilfully with the- help of : the sharp awl -like bill and when completed are a marvel of skill, forming, an ideal ep cradle for the baby orioles to swing ng back and forthwith each motion of a ed kindly summer breeze. Not only is the coat of the oriole to be admired and his nest a work of art, but his song earns for him the title of the Golden Robin. It is a rich contralto voice that gladdens any dis- trict in which he chooses to locate'and reminds one of a waterfall of tinkling silver notes. His' food consists mostly of insects., such as caterpillars, battles, the larvae of which are the pestilent wireworms, maybeetles and grasshoppers.

It is quite common for pigs to bloat and die quickly when suddenly turned into green clover when they are very hungry or not accustomed'to such feed. That often` occurs when pigs have been grazing grass and the pasture becomes so short that the feeder de- cides a change is 'necessary, and so turns the pigs into a lusty::growth of clover without due Preparation,: Wet -clover, as }with cattle, is most likely to; cause bloat. Any green feed, may have, the same effect, under sim- ilar circumstances.

The potato tops in his forty -acre patch grew luxuriantly and provided the finest sort of feed for the bugs and brother insects, but in spite of the good growth the outcome; was most disappointing. No exact figures had been kept to enable him to analyze the situation to its last detail, yet he Imew that 'the income did not make sufficient to pay for the labor required and the seed used. Before the last load. of potatoes .had 'been hauled and while the potato bugs and the • plant lice were still resting- 'peacefully in their winter quarters, this man was thinking very hard.' He walked the. floor and occasionally stop- ped before -the fire to' meditate as to the end of it all. However, he finally thought the matter through and re- solved to make a change. So here is' what he is now doing: The old stables are being remodeled-- cement emodeled— cement floors, more and larger win- dows, good stanchions and mangers will soon be completed. A ten by thirty -silo is lifting its head above the eaves of the old barn. Four good high grade- Guernseys have been brought to the farm and others will conte as soon as they' San be found. Two neighbors have joined"with this inspired. farmer to purchase a pure- bred sire. Potatoes, we.are told, will not be abandoned, but will be planted in regular rotation with other crops needed to keep the cows. Sweet clover, alfalfa and corn will be prominent in this crop list. Our prediction is that, in the course of five years, this farmer will look back to his potato crop of 1922 as most valuable because it set him to thinking and was the means of lining,. him up on the;right aide of the dairy cow and of starting him in diversified farming. Buttermilk for Hog Feeding. A country that produces butter on a large scale ought, to turn out a good class of hog products at a reasonable cost. Buttermilk is a very valuable hog feed, not so much for the nutri- ment it contains, but for its healthful influence on the hogs fed upon it. The excellence of both Irish and Danish bacon is to a great extent due to the use of this dairy by-product, In like manner, the hog raiser in this country who can get buttermilk for his pigs, ought also to succeed in his hog rais- ing. He should be one of those re- ceiving the ten percent. premium for most of the. pigs he markets. At any rate, the buttermilk ought to help him to secure the thrift and growth favor- able to the production of "Selects" if his stock is of right type . and judi- ciously fed. As a- substitute for dairy by- products, digester tankage is oftn recommended. for growing pigs. At.. the Brandon Experiment' Station, but- termilk and tankage wore compared in a -hog feeding test last year. Twenty-seven pigs divided' into three lots, were fed for' 44 days. Care was taken to divide the lots eqnally with respect to thriftiness and weight. The grain ration consisted' of a mix- ture of three parts barley, chop, three parts shorts, one'part feed flour, freshly mixed and fed twice daily. The pigs were kept in open yards about one-sixth acre in area, and had access to rape growing in their yards, to supplement the grain ration. Lot 1 received the grain ' ration ' mixed to the consistency of a .thin slop in buttermilk, and fed as . much as ' they would readily clean up,,. Lot 2 received the grain ration, plus nine per cent. digester tankage, mixed to the consistency of` a thin': slop in water, and fed as much as they would readily consume. Lot 3 received the grain ration only, mixed to the consistency of a thin slop in water, and fed as much as they would readily consume. The pigs in lots I and '2 were all in goodihealthy condition during the ex- eri e P m nt, and continued to do well after the experiment was 'Pour pigs fromcompleted: P g lot three berame int- thrifty,,,and one died,"' The remaining five .pigs in this lot continued to do well after the experiment was finished„ At the' end . d o• f tlr. 0 test it wa3 ' di=` a s covered that at the lot .ed o n I inn• iter,.-. •• �. at)1;�•a {Thin, book le Ono of she lama ever written rr th0 IoeilIin mH, .44Jtyo e Ntln d. play u , kli'l, ,Imlay WItk'on y nlllnollt. net - per0enoeh I 'h 1i ta. ,0 t 11 Ito. 10 ttront.WM. b 11US 03/11p 100.0 ,; o t allooe end ehoolub orth:.,3, df 0105 iandlonkln worth :maydollar/12o'l1, • huLdIol of hornoo. but all you 1 t•u tJ u k fe 4, o,lour lasgglob 5001& 30'I0. absolutely ft,o,.. 01,444 6uempint t , e0eTH aZRwleh' h a , Yin. 13 1922.
