HEALTHY POULTRY,

There Il Nothing Fowls Enjoy More Than
Bright Sunshine.
Above every other point, our efforts
should be to have our poultry healthy
and to keep them go, but to do this re-
quires great deal Of foresight and
care on the part of the owner. There
is nothing that wore enjoys the warm
sun than the poultry, and its effects
upon them is very beneficial. While on
the other hand, ii they are exposed to
the hot sun and have no place to re-
treat to, to get out of 1t into the shade,
disease and loss are sure to follow; not
temporary disease or loss, but n perma-
ncnt loss. just 80 long as you keep q
lot of poultry that has once been SO ex-
posed you arc laboring under difficult
ties from the fact that such will never
give aS good satisfaction and are much
more liable to be attacked by disease
than poultry that have been properly
cared for. The same rule will hold good
with poultry that have once been stunt-
ed by improper or insufficient feed
ing; they will never come up to she
high water mark. No matter what
treatment they receive, they have been
injured, and will never fully recover
thercfron, SO that il we wish 80 have
good, healthy, strong and paying poul-
try, we should concentrate our every
effort in keeping them from being in
jurcd or broken down before their time
of usefulness arrives.
If a fruit tree gcts injured the loss to
the tree 10 not much, but when we 20 to
gather in the fruit is the time that tells
the story.
First Of all, good, sound, healthy
stock, thea with proper care and fore
sight, when egg harvest time arrives we
will not be disappointed, but we may
expect to be rewarded for our care and
trouble. The successful poultrynan
must appoint himself general in COM
mand, and look all around, or the enc
my may get in on his rear or fanks.

Unpretentlous Flowers That Afford the

If bachelors buttons once enter the

however, to the discomfort of the
gardener. but, on the contrary, to his
continual delight For this self-same

with hut common potato or pea vine

mothers must have been the first to

FARMERS who know how to produce
at relatively low cost are always at
the head Of the procession.
For general farm crops horse manure
mixed with that from cows is better
than horse manure alone.
TAKE good care of your cows, but do
not let your boy feel that you care for or
have more interest in them than in him.
He who starts good reading club in

It is well known that oil is commonly

not be beneficial to use this oil in the
shape of cotton-sced meal more largely
than heretofore as food for the cows in
dairics where the whole effort is to
draw out the last drop of fnt from the
