ut Roshereill, Illinois, once whan he

When you look around and see all these

"Yes, sir !" shouted hundred voices
"Well. where will your fathers be in
twenty years from now

Rules for Poultry Raising.

In raising poultry or stock it should
be tho aim of every one to keep it
healthy and improve it, You can do
70 very easily by adopting some system
ATTIC rules. These may be summed up as
follows.
1. Construct your chicken house well
and protect from vermin.
2, Provide . busting and scratching
place, where you oan bury wheat or corn,
and thus induce the fowls to have need
full exercise.
}. Provide yourselves with healthy
chickens, none to be over three or iour
years old, giving one cock to every
twelve hens.
4. Give plenty offresh air atAll times
of the year, especially in summer.
s, Give plenty OF fresh water daily
and never allow fowls to 80 thirsty.
6. Feed them systematically, two or
three times day. and scatter the food.
no that they cannot eat too last or with
out proper exercise. DO not feed more
than they will eat up clean, or they will
tire OF that kind OF TODD.
z. Give them variety OF both dry
and cooked food. A mixture oil cooked
and vegetables is an excellent thing tor
their morning meal. Bits Of fresh meat
ARC good to make hens lay during cold
weather. A little red pepper sprinkled
among their food is an excellent appe'
tier.
s. Give soft feed in the morning, and
the whole grain at night, except a little
wheat or cracked corn packed in the
scratching place to keep them busy in
the day,
0. Allows all things keep the hen.
house clean and well ventilated.
10. Do not crowd too many in one
house. II you do, look out Tor disease.
ii. Use carbolic powder in the dust
ing bins occasionally to destroy lice. y,
l2. Wash the roosts and bottoms OF
laying nests with whitewashonce u week
iu summer, and once month in winter.
-. Let the old and young have as
large range as possible-the larger the
better, =,
IA. DO not breed too many kinds OF
fowls at tho same time, unless you. are
going into the business. Three or four
will keep your hands full. Different
fancy breeds had better be kept in dit
terent parts Of the hen farm,
10. Introduce new blood into your
stock every year or so, by tuylng, a
cookcrel or setting of eggs from reliable
breeders.
l6. In buying birds or eggs, so to
some reliable breeder who has his rep
utation at stake. You may have to puy
more for the birds, but you can depend
upon what you get. Culls are not cheap
at my price.
II. Save the best birds for next years
breeding, and send the OF hers to market.
In shi ping fancy poultry to inalke
s,ni it dressed.
l8. Do not forget to keep lime or
powdered oyster shells for your fowls,
unless you are in limestone country;

preventive against cholera.
