was diagnosed and she was told plainly
that she was in an advanced stage Of
consumption. The examining physician
even showed her the sunken place in her
breast where the cavity in her lung was
supposed to exist. She. went homesto her
family broken, disheartened woman
with death staring herr the face. ) That
was the beginning of the story; the end

her home.

If you have not already Matched all
the chickens YOU intend to- this year, do
it this month without fail, says b. Holmes,
Jr,. III the Orange Judd Farmer. This is
natures time for reproduction: eggs will
be fertile now, if ever, and the chicks, if
given a fair chance, will thrive and grow
as i'll no other month in the pear. The
new and tender grasts, and the insects
ana worms are plentiful, and if given
their liberty the chicks will find for them
selves Il large and the most important part
grow. ~.
ltis very important, as the weather gets
warmer, that both coops and chicks be
kept absolutely clean aid free from lice;
you cannot afford to raise chicks to feed
a swarm of lice with: There will be
many sudden showers and possibly Il cod
rain this month: see that there is II handy
The cockerels, if old enough to distinguish,
should be separated from the flock and
pushed ahead for all the growth they can
make, and sold for broilers when about
II weeks cd. The pullets should be kept
thrifty growing, and that is all. DO not
force them. let them come to maturity
under natural conditions. but do not let
them stop growing a single day.
If the henhousc has not been cleaned
out vet take the first day that can be
spared from the field and do it. Not to
DO it now, will probably mean a lousy
house and flock and no decent place in
which TO put the puflets coming on. AS
soOil as you are through setting hens, put
the ROSTERS In condition as quickly as
possible and market them. Put some of
the coops about the garden. Keeping the
hen confined and letting the chicks run,
they cannot hurt anything for three or
four weeks and will destroy many insects:
vi il do both good. Nature seems to have ave
taken thu most of the work pertaining to
the, poultry into her hands this month,
and about all man is left to do is to sec
ohd her efforts. The one word which the
poultryman should ever have in mind is
cleanliness.
