FEEDING WHOLE GRAIN.
the Hens Grinding Machine In
Perfect Order.

The hen is furnished with grind
ing apparatus, and she will not keep in
a vigorous state of health unless it is
put to use. Amateurs are apt to form
the opinion that they are doing their
hens kindness by making their food
consist in large part of softened and
plastic masses. 1t saves them the work
of grinding it, and it seems altogether
reasonable that it would be more di-
gestible and more readily assimilated
in that form than such tough and un-
yielding substance as whole grain.
In the natural state the grain food
of the hen would consist of the whole
seeds. and they were fitted for sub
sisting upon this kind of food. Do
mestication has modified, but has not
wholly changed their nature. The
grinding apparatus must be kept in
active operation. No flock will long re-
main healthy on softened and mushy
food. Though the elements of the mass
may be wholly unobjectionable, it fails
to supply the mechanical conditions
which will stimulate to healthy action
the grinding machinery.
The majority of successful poultry
men approve the practice of feeding
small quantity of ground grain daily,
mixed with sufficient water to enable it
to be worked up into crumbly mass.
But spoonful of the mixture for each
hen is the allowance. The greater part
of those who are committed to its use
would prefer to dispense with it entire
ly rather than give more than this.
While confessing the advantages of
restricted ration of this description.
they all know that it can be omitted
and paying returns be obtained by
feeding all the grain whole.-Farmers'

CURED in day time and security from
marauding pests at night is one ques-
ton that is answered in the design.
AS will be seen in the illustration,
the coop is so arranged that sunlight
and air are admitted through a wire
netting front in daytime, and by clos
ing the hinged door (A), which rests
upon the roof in daytime, the coop is
securely closed against all pests at
night. The coop being made of light
material, it can be moved to fresh
place every day or two, and gives the
old hen ample range in her commodi-
Gus quarters. Coops may be made any
size to suit the taste; a good size be-
ing 2x3 feet, floor plan. Two feet high
in front and 10 inches in the rear. The
roof of this coop may be made of
matched material as ceiling or floor
ing, and can be covered with roofing
paper to better exclude water. Such
coops should have movable floor in
the early spring which will exclude
dampness and prevent gapes. A good
brooding coop, as every housewife
knows, is half the battle in rearing
flock of chickens, and no farmer should
deny his farmyard fowls few good
coops to hover in during the brooding
season. They can be made during
stormy days when other work cannot
be performed about the farm.-George
W. Brown, in Ohio Farmer.

PROPER MANAGEMENT.
Why Small Matters Should Receive
the Most Careful Attention of
Vac Poultry Farmer.

The periods of feeding should be
regular, certain hours being fixed
upon for that purpose; but there are
very few who thus systematically
feed their fowls. Water should be
kept in the presence of poultry at all
times, and it should not only be clean
and pure, but fresh; yet this impor-
tant matter is overlooked by many.
Warmth in winter and cool location
in summer are essential to laying, be-
ing as important as full supply of
feed; but every poultry house is not
comfortable. The prevention of
dampness in the house avoids roup,
which is a terrible scourge in flock
but the small leaks here and there
are not regarded as dangerous mat
tiers by the average poultryman. Even
the height Of the roost and the con-
struction of the nests have more or
less tendency to affect the profit from
poultry than many suppose, for high
roosts cause deformed feet, and poor
nests will not be occupied by the hens
if they can get better places in which
to lay. These things are seemingly
small matters, which are usually over
looked, but they are important to sue
cess. Poultry should not be expected
to prove profitable without care more
than other stock, and the fact that a
profit is often derived from a flock
that has been overlooked is a strong
proof that poultry-raising can be
made to pay well when conducted by
thoughtful, attentive persons. 1t is
the small matters that should receive
the most careful attention, as the OBJ
servance of method and system is sure
to prove beneficial at all times.-Farm
and Fireside.

Fat Hens Bring Good Prices.

With all the abuse that can be
heaped upon a fat hen because she
does not lay she brings more in the
market than any other kind of poul-
try except the turkey, and at times
the difference in favor of the turkey
is very little. AS the consumers are
willing to pay good prices for fat hens
it Is best to sell them as soon as they
cease laying, if in very fat condi-
tion as the time required to get such
hens to the proper condition for lay
ing again may be weeks, or even
months. The best time to sell is when
you have the article the consumer re-
quires, and at the present time the
fat hen is in mand.-Farmers' Re-

GOOD FEEDING TROUGH.
Chicks Cannot Get Into 1t with Their
Feet or Otherwise Make Its Con-
tents Unfit for Use

Young chickens should always have
their food fresh and clean, and where
they can run to it at will. To accom-
plish this end is a problem. The chicks
are determined, when possible, to get
into the feed dish with their feet,
scratch out the contents and otherwise
make it unfit for further use. If on
opening can of fish or other canned
stuff you will cut out one-half of the
top in order to empty out the contents
you can easily make good trough for
this purpose. Remove the half of the

LICE AND PARASITES.
Close Vigilance Is Necessary to Keep
Fowls and Poultry Houses Free
from Their Attack.

There are numerous parasites that
prey on fowls, and which are not dis
cernible to the naked eye. An instance
may be given in case of scaly leg,
which everyone who has bred poultry
is familiar with. To an observer it
is simply roughness of the legs, but
it gradually accumulates until the legs
are double the ordinary thickness.
This accumulation of scale is the work
of millions of parasites, which store
up matter on the legs as industrously
as the coral insect works on the reefs,
yet the closest examination will not
reveal their presence. Other kinds of
parasites cause skin and bowel dis
eases, and other ailments, while lice
take advantage of the work of the
parasites and assist in embedding the
condition of the birds. There are so
many different kinds of lice and para
sites that the closest vigilance is nee
essary in order to keep the poultr 7
houses and birds free from attack.
Fortunately we can partially prevent
the difficulty by the free use of kero-
sene oil, carbolic acid, whitewash, etc.
No matter how free the birds may APP
pear to be from attack. the precau-
lions should never be neglected. At
this season, when thousands of young
chicks will soon be Matched, the field
of operations is broader and the liza
bility to attack increased, hence if
the chicks are to be raised they
should be examined frequently

bottom of the can. Cut down the she
from the edge of one open end to the
end of the other. Then bend the flap
thus formed back. Tack the upper end
of this flap to the side of the coop or

into it. Where there is a large number
of chicks, several troughs will be
needed. These also make fine drinking
dishes for older fowls, especially those
that are kept in close confinement-J.

Keeping Bees on Farms.

Bees may be kept with advantage
on every farm, if only one or two hives
are allowed. Bees assist in fertilizing
the blossoms of some plants and per-
form valuable service. If no bees are
kept in neighborhood it is possible
that failure of fruits may be due to
that cause, and it is matter that de-
serves consideration by farmers. Bees
give large profit, and though be-
ginner must learn something of them
to succeed, yet the modes of manage
ment are not difficult to understand.

Then she stopped over to recover it.
AS she stopped she gave a little excla

and she went, leaving the coin she had
dropped under the foor-grating. The
youth who had interfered went out too.
Smith got his change and said to the

Then he went out on the platform
