however, ON q part of our beds by way

EARLY CHICKENS.
Hints ~ to Their Feeding and General
Cara

Hints ~ to Their Feeding and General
Care.
If the hens have as free range as
they have on the greater number Of
farms, the young chicks may also be al
lowed to run at large after the first few
weeks, but they should be kept in the
coops until the middle Of the forenoon.
It is well to remember, that limp and
apparently lifeless chick which has been
caught in q sudden shower may often be
warmed back to life by bringing it to the
fire. 1t may be necessary to bring them
in by basketfuls sometimes, and have
seen some surprising resuseitations in
such cases.
A hen running at large will raise her
brood with less feeding than one confined
in small lot, but the chances are that
she will lose more of them. Not only
are they caught by hawks, but there are
other dangers which beset them. Most
provoking of all is to have your neigh
boris cat dine off chicken daily while
you wonder how Blackie manages to lose
one or two chickens every day. By and
by you catch the innocent looking pussy
in the very act Of springing upon a
chick. and the mystery is solved.
1t must never be forgotten that the
coops as we'll as the feeding and drink
ing vessels must be kept clean. Filth
breeds disease always and everywhere.
The mites which are SO annoying, espe-
cially in warm weather, soon infest an
unclean coop.
For the first A or weeks of their
lives they will need to be fed at least
five times daily. Little and often is
q good rule to follow in feeding. Corn
bread made by mixing the meal into
batter with buttermilk, using twice as
much soda as the measure of milk, as if
for the table, makes one of the best
foods for small chicks. This quantity
of soda will make the bread crumble
readily. Possibly the crust may need
soaking. 1t is not a great deal of trouble
to bake once day enough to last until
the next day, and as food it is certain
ly an improvement ON raw cornmeal
mixed with water, which some of us
can remember used to be the regulation
food for young chicks.
If the skimmilk is not fed to the
calves or pigs, it can be given to the
chickens to drink, or, better still, after
it has clabbered heat until the curd and
whey separate. There is nothing better
than the curd for young chickens. espe-
cially during the first 8 or A weeks of
their lives. As soon as they are old
enough to eat wheat give all they will
eat of this grain for the last feed at
night. Cracked corn may alternate with
the wheat. and at later period whole
corn.
To sum up in a single sentence: Feed
and water often; keep dry and Clean

THE SEX OF EGGS.

An Old Error Regarding the Germ Dis

The following clipping, says a writer
in Farm Poultry, have taken from The
Country Gentleman, on n:the way of tell
ing the sex of eggs before incubation:
! wish to thank 5. G. c., who On page s13.
Country Gentleman of 1885, advised me re-
garding the selection Of eggs for Matching pull
lets. For the past two years haye had a few
ppllets to sell, instead Of being Obliged to buy
e, e., in flock of 20 chickens matched from
eggs thus selected there were 10 pulicts, while

there are but I. IDA ]. TY6ER.
It seems odd that the people who read
the papers cannot learn that the germ of
the egg is contained in The yolk. and is
even smaller than pin head before in
cubation starts Hence unless one can
define the organs of the germ, it is i'm
possible to tell whether it is male or fe-
male.
To look at the she'll or the air bubble
in the large end-I believe some people
claim totell that way-is like looking at
the outside of a barn TO tell what kind
Of horse is in it. ! have been breeding
poultry for III years, and during that
time have experimental in all branches
Of the business, but have yet to find a
sure way Of Matching pullets or cockerels
as the fancy seized me.
There is one thing ! have tried and
found nearly always successful. and
that is to pick ont pen of vigorous,
healthy pullets. not over year old. and
mate them TO 2-year-old cock who has

Two Poultry Points.

One strange thing about poultry is
that if ono keeps large number they
never give the same percentage of profit
as when only limited number are kept.
Therefore have long ago come to the
conclusion that it pays best not to try
to winter over 80 or 40. I have also
found it paid best to sell the chickens
during the-summer, as soon as they were
big enough, and not keep them all till
the beginning Of the winter. when every
one else wanted to sell.

POULTRY FOR PROFIT.

In Selecting Stock Get Birds of tho Great
est Vitality.
Poultry raising for pleasure involves
breeding beautiful birds. Poultry rails
ing for profit involves breeding good
layers or good table fowls, or the best
combination of the two which can be
made. No kind Of stock can be bred
strongly in one direction except at the
expense of other qualities. The develop
ment of feathers and comb is apt to pro-
ceed at the expense of vitality and the
reproductive powers. This is especially
true of the males. The most beautiful
Langshan cock we ever saw when trans
lated to the farm literally had to lean
up against the fence to crow. In a few
days his notes ceased altogether, and
there was $40 gone. He had been bred
to sell and had accomplished his des-
tiny. There is no doubt great pleasure
in the breeding of birds for beauty, and
those who engage in it will be interest
ed in the peculiarities of the different
breeds and strains. Such persons ought
to and usually will subscribe to the
special poultry journals which are de-
voted to information of that kind.
What we have to say from time to
time on this subject must relate mainly
to poultry raising for profit. This, like
nearly all other profitable occupations.
is extremely simple in theory, but re-
quires close attention to detail in prac-
tice. So far as it relates to the selection
of stock 1t involves simply obtaining
birds of great vitality and vigor and
keeping them in that condition. If eggs
are desired, any Of the Mediterranean
breeds will supply them, and one is as
good as the other. 1t is not necessary to
obtain fancy stock from the yards Of
fanciers. Early eggs may be got from
successful market poultrymen. Set them
under the hen i'll the good old way. and
infuse new blood each year. If you wish
body, with reasonable supply of eggs,
there is nothing better than the Brah-
mas. If you wish eggs and table fowls
also. there is nothing better than Plym-
outh Rocks. In developing your own
flock, if you wish TO breed for points.

Leghorn fowl can possibly have is the
