scraps can almost always be bought
.cheaply in country towns. Dried and
ground meat is sold ait low price, and
where rabbits are plenty they can be

While all these forms of meat feed are
good and it is desirable that some one
or more of them be furnished, the

they are given milk as a substitute.

Lice in Spring.

Lice first appear among the sitting
hens early in the spring, and when the
chickens are Matched off they show
signs of the vermin very quickly, Lice
being certain death to them if they
are not protected. To prevent this
the nests should be movable, SO that
one can take them out, and after this
is done whitewash them inside and
out, putting a few drops Of kerosene
oil to each bucket of whitewash used.
This should be done at [least twice "a
month. The advertised lice killers,
tobacco dust and insect powder are
very good to place in the nest, ais SUCH
will not injure the hens in any way.
The roosts should he amounted with
kerosene once a week, which prevents
lice from crawling ON chicks at night,
and also prevents scabby-legged chick
ems if used often enough. The walls
should 'be whitewashed once a week
when the lice are extremely bad, and
the droppings should be removed at
beast twice a week. Lice often find
lodgment in droppings, and hence a
solution of carbolic acid or kerosene
emulsion should be sprinkled over the
droppings after they are removed.
Lice affect fowls both in summer and
in winter, the large lice ON the heads
doing the most damage in winter.
When the birds are lousy they begin
to droop, and sometimes refuse food.
Especially is such the casewith chicks.
When bird does not appear to be
we'll, and tries to dust itself frequent
ly, it is a sure sign of lice. Such Lice
are generally of the large kind, and
may be found on the head and neck,
as mentioned. AT might carefully OBJ
serve them on the roost, and if they
appear restless or uneasy it will be be-
cause the red lice from under the
roost are crawling up and beginning
their nights work. Lice may be
found in the cracks under the roost, in
the droppings, on 'Me floor and on the
hens. By carefully noticing the ac-
tion of the hens you will soon learn
to know when lice have made their APP
pearance. Chicks simply begin to
droop, have disease of the bowels from
debility, and perish. Farm and Fire

Fat Hens.

country which are being starved be-
cause their owners fear they will get
too fat to lay, and another lot that are
actually too fat to be of any use. This
may seem like a contradictory state
ment, but it is not, for the usefulness
of hen does not depend on her con-
dition so much as on the way she has
been made fat. The truth of the mat
ter is that there is a large amount of
theory afoat concerning the proper
treatment of laying hens and most of
this will not stand the test of prac,
tice
We have tried some experiments in
feeding hens of two breeds. The first
was with Plymouth Rocks and the
second with LeghOrns, and in both in
stances very fat hens laid as we'll as
it is possible to make them in this
country. We are told that to make
hens fat is to produce a tendency to
sit This may be true with hens kept
in some back yard and fed all they
will eat of fattening feed, without CIV
ing them any opportunity to take ex-
ercise.
The Plymouth Rocks were kept con-
fined and fed enough so as to- MAKE
them very fat. In fact, they were
bought for the sole purpose of fatten-
ing to eat. In order to give them
proper exercise to keep them in good
health they were compelled to scratch
their feed out from among a lot of
rubbish or leaves and straw, and by
the time two or three of them had Deen
eaten the others began to lay so many
eggs that it would have been a waste
of money to eat them. This was not
spasmodic laying, either. They began
early in the season and kept it up un-
til they we're sold in the fall, when
circumstances arose that made it i'm
possible to keep them.
The Leghorns are now at work Two
out of the flock were killed a few
days ago on account of some defects
mind and they were found to be as fat
as it is possible to make hens, and yet
the flock is laying right along.
A flock of hens that is kept on corn
and given their feed on the bare
ground will soon get fat and lazy and
| this sort of fattening will stop egg
laying because the condition of the
fowls is abnormal Take the same
flock and feed it wheat and corn and
it does not matter how much they get
to eat if the feed is given to them 50
it must be dug out of litter before
eaten. When fed in this way the crop
is not filled at once and the fowls do
not gorge themselves until they feel
like sitting down and letting the feed
in their crops digest. They keep on
digging and the feed digests almost as
fast as eaten, and at the same time
the muscles are kept strong and all
the functions in their normal condi-
ton A hen that works for her feed
cannot be made too fat to lay eggs if
the feed is the right kind. Wheat,
oats, corn and milk, a part of the feed
being of each, makes ais good egg food
as can be found, and the farmer who

What to Feed.

cuSSed by pOultrymen the past W1nCer
Some have fed mash in the morning,
wheat at noon, corn at night and 9th
ers corn or wheat in the morning and
. mash at night. Some say feed mash
and plenty of it, Others say do not
feed mash, but grain altogether. Now
/ do not intend to criticise any Of these
writer's for their different opinions or
modes of feeding, for we are satisfied
there are many fiocks of poultry pay
ing nice profit fed on entirely differ
ent food and a different mode of feed
ing from other we'll paying 1ocks.
Now what can we learn from these
writer's about different foods and
modes of feeding when there is SO
much difference between them?
Many things; and one of the leading
is that for me to raise good poultry I
do not have to feed just what, when
or in what proportion my friend in Hi
nois does, that if one kind of grain is
scarce and high priced | can substi-
tute for it something else, that it
would be a different matter for me to
start and follow one of these poultry
men in every detail and have the same
success he has had. 1t teaches us that
to feed grain alone brings good re-
suits, also that mashes, vegetables and
grain combined gives equally good or
better returns. It teaches us that to
raise poultry we do not have to walk
the straight and narrow path some
people would have us believe, but to
be successful we must have good
healthy stock, variety suited to our
climate and SURROUNDINGS feed them
plenty of good healthy food, but not
enough to make them sluggish, for
sluggishness means indigestion soon,
and that is the end of proftablenesS
1t shows us that there is one great aim
in view, and that is to make profit
above all expenses from poultry. It
shows us that other poultry raisers are
making a profit It shows us that
we cannot take up poultry raising
where some successful man has left of,
but that we must commence at the
bottom and climb the ladder round by
round. 1t is starting well up the lad
der and struggling two or three years
TO keep there and then have to give it
up or get to the bottom and commence
again that causes so much loss and
ship-wreck of poultrymen. If you are
using L. incubator, be careful about
moisture. i believe there are three
chicks killed with too much moisture
where there is one killed for lack Of
it. No since the weather Is
getting warm do not be afraid OF air
ing the eggs, ten, twenty and even
thirty minutes for last week of incu-
baton will not hurt them.
The spring has been very backward
in Ohio and but few will be able to
get out many chicks in April. Keep
on setting eggs. May Matched chicks
are all right, and I would rather have
them Matched in June than not have
enough. Set as many hens on the
same day ais possible, test out all I'M
fertile eggs; on sixth day you can
probably put all the good eggs under
five of the hens and reset the sixth
