Put Them In Now 
They Will Pay for Themselves Before Spring 
Now is the time to put in STAR Water Bowls. Don’t wait for shrinking 
milk checks to point out their big need in your barn. 
Install them NOW and let them pay back their cost several times 
before spring. 
"STAR Water Bowls in my barn paid back their cost every 35 days/' 
says C. H. Mann, of Woodstock, Ill. “We do not see how we could get 
along without STAR Bowls in the dairy barn,” says Edwin S. Kelly, of 
the Kelly-Springfield Tire Co., Springfield, Ohio. 
You will find many exclusive features in STAR Bowls. These are the 
bowls with the slanting valve lever. The cow rests her chin on it com¬ 
fortably—it yields gently, and fills the bowl as she drinks. Gives her 
fresh running water. Automatic— 
water stops running as the cow stops 
drinking. Quickly detached for clean¬ 
ing. Easily and q uickly installed in any

Methods of Poultry Feeding 
1. When and how often should I feed 
my chickens? I am going to light my 
coops at night. What is the best ration 
for egg production. 2. When I milk my 
cow I find there is blood iu the milk. Can 
you tell me the cause and the remedy for 
it? F. w. 
New Jersey. 
1. The practice of most poultrymen is 
to feed their hens twice daily by hand, 
scatttcring mixed whole grains in the lit¬ 
ter morning and night, and providing, in 
addition, a “dry mash” of ground grains 
and meat scrap in au open hopper or 
troughs accessible to the fowls at all 
times. In addition to this dry mash, some 
poultrymen give their layers a moist 
masli once daily during the latter part of 
the laying season, the object being to in¬ 
crease the consumption of mash during 
that part of the year when egg production 
naturally wanes, to maintain it at as high . 
a level as possible. Other poultrymen 
feed a dry mash at all times, and try to 
regulate the amount consumed by increas¬ 
ing or diminishing the amount of whole 
grain given, attempting to get about equal 
quantities of each consumed by withhold¬ 
ing whole grain and stimulating hunger 
when the dry mash is neglected. 
As the object in feeding layers is to get 
as much food of proper kind eaten as pos¬ 
sible. that method is best which accom¬ 
plishes this. Artificial lighting accom¬ 
plishes its. purpose by prolonging the day 
and increasing the consumption of food. 
An effort is made by its use to make day 
and night of about equal length and so. 
to avoid that long period of empty crops 
to which birds have been subjected in the 
late night, and early morning hours. It is 
immaterial when the artificial light is 
used, morning or evening, so that the day 
is made long enough to simulate that of 
Summer time. If the lights are used iu 
the evening, they shoukl be turned on in 
time to prevent the birds from going to 
roost and kept going until eight or nine 
o’clock in the evening. At that time the 
last feeding of whole grains should be 
given, and should be liberal in amount, 
and the morning feeding should not be 
delayed because of the late night meal. 
The lights may be turned on before day¬ 
light in the morning, if preferred, and a 
feeding of grain be given then ; the object, 
as said, being to shorten the night and 
increase the consumption of food. Tlie 
mix-d whole grains should be made up 
of half, or more, corn or wheat and the 
balance in such grains as buckwheat, oats 
and barley. A good formula for the 
mash, to be fed wet or dry, is the Cor¬ 
nell one, composed of cornmeal, wheat 
bran, wheat nvddlings, ground oats and 
beef scrap, all in equal parts by weight. 
2. Bloody milk is likely to come from 
one quarter, and to be due to some growth 
iu the teat. It may also occur from au 
attack of garget. Temporarily, it may 
be due to a sere or crack at the end of 
the teat and discoverable upou examina¬ 
tion. If tlie bleeding is constant, due to 
a growth in the milk duct, and such 
growth is not sufficiently near the end 
of the te'it to be removed by operation, 
there is little or nothing to be done save 
dry up that quarter or discard the milk 
from it until such time as the growth 
shall disappear or cease to bleed.

Pullets with Colds 
I have a flock of H00 White Leghorn 
pullets that wore doing nicely until about 
a week ago. I notice that a good many 
of them are coughing, and they have a 
discharge from the nose; with some the 
nose runs. There are no sores in the 
mouth. What can be done for them? 
New York. E. b. m. 
You do not say anything of the con¬ 
ditions under which these pullets are 
being kept, but it. is not uncommon for 
pullets that have been on range all Sum¬ 
mer to develop Fall colds when placed in 
their Winter quarters. They may even 
be subject to them when no change has 
been made, due to more or less exposure 
to the damp, changeable weather of this 
season of the year. To avoid serious 
consequences from such colds, the Winter 
quarters should be made thoroughly clean 
and dry before shutting up the pullets, 
and ample- ventilation should be given, 
preferably through the open-front style 
of poultry house construct-’on. The birds 
should not be subject to orafts when on 
their perches, but, on the other hand, the 
poultry house should not be so tightly 
closed that the air becomes damp and 
foul. In quarters m-eviously occupied 
by other fowls, particular a tent ion should 
be paid to removal of old filth and estab¬ 
lishing clean, sanitary conditions before 
confining young stock. As medicinal 
treatment for these colds, the use of per¬ 
manganate of potash has 1 >ng been com¬ 
mon. A saturated solution of the crystals 
may be made by dissolving all that a 
small quantity of water w-11 take up and 
keeping this in a glass container. Two or 
three teaspoonfuls of this stock solution 
may then be added to each 10 quarts of 
drinking water given the fowls; this also 
to be given iu earthenware dishes.
