POULTRY FOR MARKET,

Wnen TO haise snd When to Sell Chick.
eus and Turkeys.
For poultry raising as business you
must have a poultry house with YARD
attached, with apartments so yoa have
separate places for the chicks of differ
ent ages
Hatch your poultry so you have
chickens to sell in the latter part OF
February until the latter part of Au.
gust; from that time on chicken raising
for market does not pay SO well.
Though you use an incubator for
Matching your chickens and ducks, you
must use hen for caring for young
chicks the first months.
Sell your early-hatched chickens as
soon as they weigh two pounds head,
as chicken of that size will bring
twice as much from March till May as
others do later on.
The best growing feed for chicks is
boiled eggs, as soon us they come out
from the shell, and bread soaked in
water for the first ten days; then corn
meal moistened with water, also
wheat screenings or wheat itself. As
soon as they get large enough to eat
corn feed them on that, as it is the
cheapest and best fattening food.
Do not give them too large space,
but enough that they have exercise.
Keep plenty of gravel in reach OF
them, and fresh water several times a
day. Do not feed oftener than three
times a day, and give them all they
nj 10
food than they will consume at one
meal, as it may get sour from one
meal to another, and cause your chicks
to get sick.
Do not keep any chickens till they
are full grown, unless they are fol-
breeding purposes.
Chickens will bring money quicker
for their expense than any other poul.
try. Ducks are not quite SO profitable,
as it requires longer time to get them
ready for market. Unless you have q
place for them to swim, free of turtles
and other vermin, it does not pay well
to raise ducks for market
If you raise turkeys they should be
Matched by turkeys, as young turkeys
do not do we'll being confined in a
yard until they are ready for market
Turkeys to do well and grow fast must
have free access to forage, besides they
must be fed morning and night. They
should have house to roost in at night
until they weigh about four pounds

FRESH SHEEP NOTES.

A POOR sheep will eat as much and
require as much care as good one.
MERINo sheep are better calculated
to keep together in large hocks than
almost any other breed.
The Merlin crossed with Southdown
makes superb all purpose sheep,
profitable for both wool and mutton.
SHEEP can be fed oil meal with safe
ty, even when the ewes are carrying
lambs. 1t must be fed in small guam
titles, say one-eighth of ration.
IL we had nothing in the way of hay
except timothy to feed sheep we would
feed corn meal, oatmeal and oil meal.
Oil meal in small quantities is good for
sheep under all winter conditions

Good aud Poor Layers.

The difference between the yield Of
eggs in the most prolific cases, as com
pared with poor layers, is as three or
four to one. Individual hens have been
known to produce $50 eggs a year.
Yet 200 is reached so seldom as to be
called a remarkable yield. The great
est average yield that we have ever
had ourselves, in d flock of twelve
hens, was l47 eggs. while the greatest
average in twelve flocks, mum bering in
all 200 layers, of various breeds, was
102 eggs. In the latter case there We're

Corn Fodder Wasted.

II is estimated that about forty per
cent. of the corn fodder produced in
the United States is wantonly wasted
by the farmers. This immense loss

well as pay off the whole of the La
tional debt. In addition to the waste
of corn fodder there is also 3 great loss

1t Paws to Push Pigs.

The pig pushed steadily until at six
months old he weighs 700 pounds costs
much less than another that reaches
this weight at the age of nine or ten
months by spasmodic stops and starts.
A good appetite is indispensable in the
pen and is as important as liberal and
nutritious feeding. Some have made
pork during the past winter by close,
warm shelter while feeding. ANY
such meat saved for family use must
