Half starved hers never lay eggs.

Don't expect poultry to thrive in

Lime ia a good material to sprinkle
In the dust bath.
Fowls should be so gentle that you
can catch one anywhere.
Meat scraps in the soft feed twice a
week will help along the egg product.
Wrap every fowl for a private Gus

The indestructible stoneware drink

we have seen and have the advantage
of being cheap.
leftover cabbage and celery plants
and garden greens should go to the
shut in poultry. They are useful meat
and egg producers.
Put bones in the stove and allow
them to burn when they can be easily
pulverized. Mix this with corn meal
and feed twice a day to the fowls.
Even if you know your eggs are
fresh, do not take them to a customer
with the shells dirty. 1t does not help
to inspire confidence in their quality.
Don't market dirty eggs. 1t takes
but little time to wash those that have
become soiled, and when clean they
will look so much better and will sell
much more readily.
The sugar beet is valuable for fowls,

through the summer, it is very accept
able to a fGck that cannot range and
find green food for themselves.
Whole wheat is better for fowls than
Germ. 1t does not make them 50 fat,
and, considering the number of eggs
which can be procured by using it, is
altogether a more economical food.
On all farms large amounts of grain,
grass seeds and other food find their
way into the barnyard there to rot.
The sharp eye of the hens discover this
loss, and save it to owners by produc
ing eggs.
The man who is not willing to turn
cut early to feed the flock must not
expect t pocket large returns. 1t is
the early riser who gets the eggs. If
the fowls are obliged to wait for their
breakfast, after they are up, it is bound
to have a bad effect on the egg supply.

for said premiums at more than one
State or provincial fair in 1894.
All of the breeders of Berkshires in
North Carolina are earnestly requested
to make an exhibit at the next fair for
one or both of the premiums named
above, which with the regular cash
premiums offered by the State Fair
Association should ensure a great show
of Berkshires at the fair next fall.

Among his many accomplishments,
President Cleveland hired a substitute
and sent him to the front to do his
dghting in 81, The American Enter
prise, Windsor, Connecticut, says:
cleveland has been South looking
over some of the famous battleields
where he fought and bled his substitute
about thirty years ago" That state
ment is just a little witty, but it isn't
correct. Grover put in all his time
sampling the products of his brewery
and shooting sandlappers on Roanoke
Island, N. c., far from any lannon's bat
tlefeid. You can't get Grover in fifty
miles of a battlefield. If we have an,
other war he will send Gresham to the
front.
