POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

The fowls love an occasional dose Of ch.r
eDal
Wheat and oats in rotation make god
feed
Sprinkle dry ashes or dry earth under the
roosts frequently.
Change the dust bath every two weeks; it
will help keep the fowls free from lice.
Sprinkling the hot ashes from he coal
stove under the roosts will aid in keeping the
fowls free from throat and lung troubles.
There is no advantage in allowing the
poultry 10 tramp around in the snow. Better
keep them confined while the weather is bad
Keeping old rusty nails in the drinking
water is a good plan OF supplying the fowls
with tonic The water must be kept fresh
Painting the roosts and nests with kerosene
is one of the very best plans Of getting rid Of
vermin 1t can be done every two or three
weeks with profit
In putting eggs aside to keep for setting
care should be taken to keep at as even a
temperature as possible; they should be
turned regularly every two or three DAYS
Lime water Is not only a good corrective
OF bowel diseases, but is also good remedy
for soft shelled eggs Keep supply conve-
nient where the fowls can help themselves
One of the most important items in setting
hens early is TO have the nests warm and dry.
Make them tight and set them in the warm
est part OF the house, and put in good supply
OF dry material
The advantage with early turkeys is that
If kept growing during the summer they
will be ready for market much earlier in the
fall and will weigh considerable more when
sent to market,
1t is usually best not to attempt to hatch
out ducks too early The better plan will be
to wait until the weather becomes fairly
well settled They will thrive better than
If patched early
While there Is plenty Of time, prepare a
small yard where the hens can be kept until
the chicks have made a sufficient growth to
De allowed TO run out. 1t should be dry and
have good shelter
The objections to using sulphur in their
food or busting 1t in their nests is that II the
fowls get vet afterward there is danger Of
stitfening them II used at all. the better
plan is to fumigate with it.
1t is not best to depend entirely upon Young
fowls for breeding, nor on the other hand
should all Of them be Old, because in many
cases the chickens will lack vigor Use some
old hens and some pullets, but let the ROSTERS
be years old.-St Louis Republic,
