POULTRY PARAGRAPHS.

Tho fowls love an occasional dose Of char
coal
Wheat and oats in rotation make a good
| feed.
Sprinkle drv ashes or dry earth under the
| roosts frequently.
Change the dust bath every two weeks: it
| will help keep the fowls free from lice.
Shrinking the hot ashes from the coal
| stove under the roosts viii aid in keeping the
fowls free from throat and lung troubles
There is no advantage in allowing the
| poultry to tramp around in the snow. Better
keep them confined while the weather is bad.
Keeping old rusty nails in the drinking
water is 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 good corrective
of bowel diseases, but is also good remedy
fer 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
fail and win 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 win thrive better than
if hatched early.
While there is plenty of time, prepare a
small yard where the hens can be kept until
the chicks have made sufficient growth to
be allowed to run out. 1t should be dry and
have good shelter.
The objections to using sulphur in their
food or dusting it III their nests is that if the
fowls get wet afterward there is danger of
stiffening them. If 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 viii lack vigor. Use some
old hens and some pullets, but let the roosters
be years old.-St. Louis Republic.

clined to 20 to /.

In the days of the patriarch Abraham sill

pounds of silver could be exchanged evenly
