final exit from Cleop ira villa.
1t was now about o'clock in the after

Care III Raising Poultry.

Care III Raising Poultry.
J. NJ. Rice, of Christian County. Mo-,
contributes the following to the Prac-
ticdt Farmer:
Most farmers read the poultry journals
or articles on poultry III our farm papers
with q great many mental reservations.
especially when the question of profit is
treated. As a general rule the condi-
tions as to market are not so favorable
on the farm as it is to those who censti-
tute the majority of our poultry writers.
They are generally breeders of thor
oughbred stock and live close to the
best markets, devote their whole time
to the business and have the inside
as to both quality and prices. But aside
from these We Judge the difference In
profits is accounted for principally III
the question of care. We often hear 1t
said if we only got the prices of some
supposed favored locality then we
could make 1t pay largely" But they
forget that generally where large prices
are received, large expenses Ill raising
are found. Now the most pertinent
points in care at this season of the year
are the care in setting the hens and of
the chicks until they are at least a
month old. TIE common faults are set
ting hens where they are constantly dis
turbed by the laying ones; not examin-
ing the eggs to see ii they are fertile,
resulting in a comparatively small hatch
and many of these killed in the nest
The little chicks receive the yermln
from the mother, weakening if not de-
stroylng many of them; they are tralled
about III the dew, caught out in many
showers, in fact the disasters TO the
young chicks are legion III numbers.
Now first, the nest boxes should be so
arranged that tley can be slipped from
the laying room through the partition
into quiet apartment, where nothing
but the other setting hens and the at
tendant enters. Here feed and water
with other accessories are kept. and
only an occas ional outing is ever neccs-
sarv. and but little attention otherwise
is needed until the chicks are twenty
four hours old. Fanciers have much to
say as to their food, but we take il that
there is no special secret here. Ii the
mother is lousy, as is apt to be the case,
II care in a very special manner has not
been given to house and fowls, put as
much kerosene, or 1t and lard mixed,
on the heads Of the chicks as viii adj

frequently moving it, and in all cases
they should be cooped during the morn

much care, the per cent. of loss may be
reduced yerv much. 1t would be profit

THE DAIRY

It is often asserted that the large
quantities of milk produced by thor
oughbreds of milking strains are due
rather to good feeding than to the breed.
1t is true that good breeders are gener-
ally good feeders as we'll. 1t pays them
to be. The advantage OF good milking

sumo a full ration and make the best
possible use of it. This is the way by
