HENRooSr PHILOSOPHY

1t used to be remark of an old friend that
''every reasonable thing was founded on reason
and every reasonable person knows that there is
no small judgment aud philosophy. as well as
kindness and patience, necessary in successfully
rearing poultry. We have never seen the whole
system so neatly and comprehensively laid down
as in the following manner by Mrs Dakin:
From the Po9ghkeepsie IN " Joanqt.
MANAGEMENT OE POULTRY.
HenS.-1st. Provide warm, dry shelter for
winter
ID. Feed with oats. soaked IL hours in warm
water before feeding.
3D. Burn clam shells and pound fine let them
have as many as they can eat, and you may have
eggs from January TO December.
From 30 hens have gathered this year 1922
eggs by the 10th of September, and raised 200
chickens.
manage my chickens by feeding oats and rye
ground, two bushels OF oats to one OF rye. Keep
them in warm thelter at night.
N b. TO prevent the pip or gapes, change
The male every year, and your chickens will be
healthy.
Turkeys list. Feed the same as hens, and let
them hatch their young ones any time after the
20h OF May.
I'd. Feed the young ones with oats and rye
ground wet with milk curd, and occasionally
sprinkle little powdered clam shell lime with
the feed; if cold and wet weather, sprinkle lit
tie black pepper with their food.
Sd. Make warm and dry shelters to brood in
nights, and keep them from the wet AMI dew I'M
I'll the sun shines warm.
4th Feed but little the first twenty four hours
after they are Matched. By this management
can raise nine out of ten
be sure and change the tom turkey every
year.
RAISING GOshngs- LIST. Have them hatch as
early as the FIST Of May il possible. Make dry,
warm places for their nests
I'd Feed the young gosns with corn meal !;
put one teaspooniul OF salt IN pint of meal wet
the feed with milk.
3d. Let them have access to water in pleasant
weather
4'h. Keep them at night in warm, dry shell
ter.
by this managem mt can raise 10 our oil so.
Duchs.-Feed ducks the same as goslins. In
this way have raised 81 young ones from two
ola ducks In one year. SARAH DAKIN.
