BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER t MOT? CHICKEN THIEVES ARE REAL PIKERS "Chicken thieves, which long have been the target for rather drastic action iu Illinois, bave been 6bown up as pikers by disease, a henhouse "bandit" that too often plunders without even being noticed, much less caught, fays 11. H. Alp, poultry extension specialist of the college of agriculture, University of Illinois Farmers in this state last year lost 3,000 chickens from disease for every 00 that they lost by chicken thieves," he said. "The lesson In this for the farm flock owner is to see that the colony or brooder house and the young chickens are on clean ground that is kept clean," Alp says. "Last year a nuin-- . ber of poultry men lost chickens from disease and parasites even after moving the bouse and chicks to clean In most cases these losses ground. were duo to the ground within a rallus of 10 to 15 feet of the house getting badly contaminated with droppings and filth. Good clean range will be of little value in preventing disease trou Me as long as the ground adjoining the house is dirty. "To prevent this, move the house a few feet every month, plow or spade the ground around the house, or what may be the simplest and best way, sweep the ground weekly with a good stiff broom and do away with the sweepings. Such a cleaning will help prevent both round worm and coecidiosis organisms from completing their life cycles. "Like that around the colony house, the ground around the mash hopper and the drinking dish soon become To contaminated with droppings. overcome this, hoppers and drinking dishes may be placed on platforms inch or with a one-ha- one-quart- lf mesh wire top. "House flies should be guarded against for they are an Intermediate All filth and host for tapeworms. rubbish which breeds flies should be destroyed. Using rock phosphate and gypsum on chicken manure will check fly breeding." Proper Feed for Flock During Winter Season On the feeding of the flock depends to a large extent not only the general health of the birds, but also the economy which promotes success. It is n subject, however, which should be studied with a large amount of common sense, for there are no hard and fast rules which can he hud down as applying to every case. The price of feeds and the general environment should be considered in determining the right rations. For the largest profit a good pro portion of the eggs should be secured during the winter. If two extra eggs a week can be obtained from each hen a good profit will be made, while if the product is increased by only one egg a week in winter, this one egg will pay for all the feed Hie hen eats. To obtain this greater production not only should the fowls, be young anil of a good laying breed, but the feeder should have full knowledge of the proper feed and its preparation. The nutriment in the feed of laying hens serves a purpose to repair waste and furnish heat to the two-fol- RICHLY FURRED VELVET COATS; TWEED FOR THE SPORTS COAT the material.

The thing that perhaps Impresses one most of all Is the luxuriousness and unusuainess of the new coats. When the smart set assembles at this or that luncheon rendezvous, or as It wends Its way to matinee or afternoon bridge, It Is a delight to the eye to observe the handsome colorings of the coats worn. The glowing wine shades, dark subtle greens, ruddy au to fcneelength, are distinhlplength guished with handsome and unique fur treatments. f A p? . v.

Dressy afternoon coats of velvet especially present a winsome picture of striking color, enhanced with trimmings of rich fur. The vogue for the elaborate goes so far, at times, as to Introduce a bit of metal embroidery such as the coat In the picture features about the sleeves In connection with wide bands of fur. This attractive wrap Is of lustrous brown velvet, which Is collared and cuffed with lynx. Many types of velvet are used for the colorful coats now so fashionable, including chiffon, transparent rayon, heavier silk velvets, and much importance is also attached to the better grade velveteens. Perhaps the most unique among velvet coats are those quilted, sometimes g all over and then again the patterns merely a wide border, together with collar, cuffs and pockets. To carry out the color scheme to a nicety, fashion decrees that shoes, hat and handbag be matched to the velvet of the coat. A story of rich tonality Is told when a wine-velvcoat is complemented with shoes of kid together with a chapeau, perhaps of the same velvet as the coat. Now that the component parts of a costume are expected to match, one is expected to wear colorful footwear, which accounts for the presence of the handsome shoes one sees In the shops, stressing exquisite green, wine, brown or other fascinating shades.

Storing Poultry winter, however, to get the most rapid growth It Is uecessary to supply a considerable proportion of the nutrients In the form of concentrates. Where even the best roughage Is fed alone, the growth will not be as much as where grain is fed also. The following are suggestions for rations for heifers In winter: L When silage and legume hay aie available: corn silage, alfalfa, cowpea or soybean hay at will. For heifers less than ten months old, two pounds of grain daily In addition. The grain must be equal parts of corn and oats. For heifers within three months of calving. In order to Insure good flesh at that time, three to five pounds of grain should be fed depending on condition. 2. When corn silage Is available but not legume hay : Silage at will and hay or fodder. Two or three pounds of concentrates should be fed dally, one pound of which should be of high protein content such as cottonseed meal. Equal parts of corn, oats, and cottonseed meal. bran and 3. When legume hay Is on hand but no silage: Feed all the hay they will clean up and also two pounds of corn and oats. 4. When no silage or legume hay Is available: It will pay to buy legume hay ; or if grass hay is fed alone, feed all l hey will clean up. A grain ration for mixed hay will have to be somewhat higher in protein, such as three pounds of a mixture of two parts of corn and one part of cotton seed meal. d Great Care Required in Selecting Record Cows If the farmer wants a record cow he must buy a cow with a record, and a good one, too, says the New York Time is needed to make good selections, and It Is well to seek aid from competent and trustworthy persons. If a dairyman is buying his cow through u cattle dealer he should be able to trust him, and when he does not know a trustworthy dealer, he should seek assistance from a county breed association or the cattle sales company of the county In which the animal is to be bought. The names and full information about these organizations may be uhtalned from the county agricultural agents. In case there are no such organizations, county agents an supply prospective buyers with the names of reliable breeders, dairymen, or dealers in the county. The New York state college says that to( much caution cannot be used In buying cows for, although extra time may be needed during the purchasing, much time and money can be saved later on. Dairymen who have lost herds because of random buying are mere careful In the future. State College of Agriculture. Ropy milk or cream Is caused by germs that get Into the milk after It comes from the cow. These germs usually live In water from which they get Into the milk.

Even when the ground is covered wilh snow, geese will find plenty of grass plong a stream of water. Clover hay nnd corn stover are fine for them to pick at during the winter months, and If they have a good supply they will need but a very small amount of grain. In the summer, when they can get plenty of grass, they do not need a single kerne! of grain and will thrive and keep in fine condition without It.
