Poultry Notes.

In buying new stock be sure to pur-
chase from reliable breeders. There
seem to be more opportunities for cheat
ingin the poultry business than in any
other.
A good cure for roup is to put three
drops of camphor on q piece Of bread
to gfvs to the fowl. In3wo or thres
days il will be all right.
When fowls haoitually lay thin shelled
eggs. their systems are not an a healthy
condition and have generally become
enfeebled by overfeeding and getting
overfat. Thorough change Of diet, air,
sun and exercise will be followed by the
production of perfect eggshelis.
liz is said sumsc berries will care
cholera. A neighbcr had cholera in his
flock, and as soon as, he commenced feed
ing sumac they ceased dying AID were
soon entirely well:
How mans Of the farmers are there,
do you think. that kiQ off the old hens
each year and depend on the early
Matched pallets for their egg supply
And yet we esn assure them that the
egg supply viii greatly increase with
the same number Of puiiets as of the
old birds.
After the first year a hen has gener.
ally seen KEY best days as a layer, and
she viii generally lay on fat instead Of
eggs. How much better TO have pullets
that will lay three days and lay off II
than old hens that lay one day and lay
of three!
During the winter. when the hens cam
not be given a good range, it is a good
plan 10 give them meat twice a week.

Strong, stimulating food has a tenden-
,y to disorganize the stomach and pro-
duce indigestion.
Better results. can be obtained by Civ
ing a warm feed in the morning and
warm water to- drink.
Gather the eggs in winter as soon as
possible after they are laid to prevent
them from getting frozen.
Milk in any form is both meat and
drink for laying hens, as it contains
constituents of the white or albumen of
eggs.
Poor land is well adapted to the poul-
try business.
A little linseed (oilcake) meal-say
a:tablespoonful to each adult bird three
times a week-will help to add gloss to
che plumage.
Irregular feeding is thought to be the
cause of many disorders among fowls.
Poultry raising is ON the increase as
farmers get better acquainted with the
industry.
A western poultryman says that there
Is nothing that will bring eggs like
steamed cut hay and grannlated fresh
bone.
