AMONG THE POULTRY.
WHOLE wheat is better for grown

WHOLE wheat is better for growing
fowls than corn.
THERE are few kinds of poultry that
pay better than guineas-
Do NOT allow the ducklings to GO to
the ponds until they are fully feath-
cred.
DRY, clean earth makes one of the
very best materials that can be used
in the nest boxes during the summer.
LIME will kill lice; it is good disin-
fectant: it will purify the air; it will
make the poultry house clean and free
from vermin.
OATS stimulate without enervatiny
or fattening. They form a good ra-
ton to reduce the fat of hens that are
too fat to lay well.
FEATHER pulling is largely due to
idleness- 1t is most liable to occur in
and have little exercise.
THE only hens that it will pay to
keep through the winter are those that
can be relied upon for winter layers or
that are needed for breeders.
In raising poultry for market the
profit lies in Matching early. pushing
the chickens forward as much as pos
sible and marketing them early.
THERE never was a time when care
full selection failed to give good re-
suits, especially when extra attention
is given to the selection of the male.

EGGsHELLs are good for the fowls,

One of the best uses for wheat chat
is to use it on the floor of the poultry.

thick and serves several purposes, the
first being to keep the floor always

Invaded by Bats.

A queer invasion of a house by bats
is reported at Deering, Me. The family
of ex-Mayor Sawyer had heard queer
noises in the walls, and occasionally
received an unexpected visit from a bat
who entered through a ventilator, and
the other day they decided on investi-
cation. A hole found under the caves
was stopped up, and at once the bats
began to appear. Through the venti-
lators, into the bathroom, and INTO the
cellar they swarmed, sixty-five being
killed in one night. About 200 have
been killed, a half dozen being found
drowned in a basin Of water.
