PoultrY-Cull out undesirable fowls
and keep only good ones. Pure-bred
fowls are as profitable, in their way. as
other pure-bred stock. Feed young puI
lets with boiled potatoes, mashed in the
water they have been cooked in, and
mixed, while hot, with corn meal and
cracked wheat. Feed this warm. and

Egg Food, " with some of Rowker & Co q

This will give eggs all through the win

and fed on scslded skinned milk, with
corn and Oat meal, for three weeks. when
they will be as fat as they can be made.
TO feed any longer is a waste of time and
food. This food makes sweet and white
flesh and fat. When fed for market
