THE CHICKEN FEVER.

Busy Career. zzstg

I claim this chicken fever that gets
us all some time during our experience
is contagious and needs a remedy,
writes M. M. Johnson, in Rural Califor-
MAN. would prescribe moderation in
all cases. If It is an extremely bad
case, where the patient has quite a
reasonable income, in order to get rich
the first year in the poultry business,
would advise some kind of q tonic,
such as holding on to part Of some
job that he is acquainted with and
knows it's bearings. I can't make fun
of anyone with the fever. I had it
once myself and am too sensitive now
to even think how I pulled through.
1t was about six years ago this month
that was stricken. 1t came on in
this way: If it. only costs one bushel
of grain to keep a hen one year, I
could buy said one bushel in corn for
IS cents. If said s5-cent hen laid 24O
eggs in one year, at one cent each, I
would have 1925 clear profit out of the
said one hen. Whereas, If one hen
makes profit of 1928, why would not
100 hens make a profit of $225? My
figures said they would. And If 1925
was the profit of 100 hens, then 1000
hens would bring me in the nice in
come of $2.25o every year; and about
all would have to do would be to
buy the grain and wheel in the eggs.
Then I took up the broiler question
for consideration. It, considered fine,
is as follows: One dozen eggs, worth
~ cents, turned into broilers worth 40
cents each. The figures ran wild and
some OF them got away, and have
never been able to get said figures all
together since. Gentle readers, can
any of you sympathize with me? Have
youeverhadit it? Some years later had
gone through al the experiences that
belong to the novice in the business.
I find that poultry really pays, and the
best way to make it pay is to throw
away your slate and pencil, roll up
your sleeves. and go into it. Start on
small capital and with small flock.
Learn the trade and grow up with it.

one pound of salt and one ounce of
cream of tartar in an earthen jar, then

day, carefully examine them to see
that they are free from cracks, lower
them with care into the liquid, and
put them into cool place where they
will not be disturbed. The liquid
should stand above the eggs to:a depth
of two inches. Look at them from time

SEEDING IN THE FALL.
Flowing Should Be Done as Soon as
Possible After the Harvest
Work IL Completed.

If grass Or clover is to be sown in the
fall it is very essential to- prepare the
ground in good condition in good sea-
son in order that the seeding may be
done early. Usually unless the seeding
can be done sufficiently early so that
the plants can secure thrifty, vigor-
Gus start to grow and get reasonably
well established before cold weather
sets in it is rather poor economy to
SOW the seed. One of the worst diff
culties or objections to fall seeding is
the lack of moisture in the soil. With
all seed certain amount of moisture
is essential to the securing of a good
termination and a vigorous start to
grow, and it is always an item to sow
the seed under as favorable conditions
as possible.
One advantage in blowing the
ground reasonably early, taking pains
to plow deep and thorough and then
making the surface good filth, is that
the fine soil on the surface acts as
mulch and adds materially in retain
ing moisture in the sell. And with
grass and clover it is often possible to
secure good termination and good,
even stand on land plowed and pre-
pared in good filth early, when, if
left until the ground gets dry, there
will not be sufficient moisture to in
duce termination.
AS with nearly or quite all other
farm work, if seeding is to be done in
the fall the fields to be sown should be
determined in good season, so that the
Flowing may be done as soon as posi-
BILE after the harvest work is done. Get
the ground in a good condition to re-
ceive the seed, and better opportuni-
ty for securing good stand. is af-
forded, and if the plants are able to
make good start to grow in the fall
they will be better able to stand the

Feeding Oatmeal to Chicks.

Theoretically, and judging by analy-
sis, oats and oatmeal ought to be, the
best feed for hens or their chickens.
But whole oats have too much chaff to
be profitably fed to hens. Their crop
is limited in size, and the chaff of tie
oat, besides being itself innutritious,
is soft and interferes with crushing the
grain. The same objections apply to
feeding oatmeal, either dry or wet, to
yHuRg chicks. Even if fed without
the chaff, the oatmeal is liable to com
pact in the chicks gizzard. We believe
this. meal for chicks should always be
cooked, and the harder the cakes made
from it the better. Crush these cakes
into small bits and fowl will eat them
greedily. ss% &s5.ss d y II h.

FARM HOUSE PIAZZA.
Ono Like That shown in the Cut Can
BE Built at an Expense Every
one Can Afford.

Many houses have no shade trees
rear them, and piazza or veranda is
almost necessity in the summer. A
permanent porch, deep enough to
torrl the necessary shade in summer,
is Objectionable in the winter, as it
shuts out the light that is then needed.
Resides all this, the expense in build
ing a permanent veranda is beyond
the reach of many, and altogether un-
necessary in any case. The illustra-
ton shows how to make a summer
