ANOTHER GOOD COOP.

1t is now we'll to see that every

PROFITS PROM POULTRY.
Therc's Hardly . Flock. However
Poorly Managed. That Does Not
Pay Something.

Occasionally we are told that the
profits from poultry breeding are
principally on paper. and where one
makes q success of the business many
fail. 1t is true that people who en-
gage in the business as speciality
make a failure a great many times,
but that is never the fault Of the busl-
ness The average farm flock is badly
managed In fact II is not managed
at all 1t simply drifts along like a
log in the stream. Yet it is pretty safe
to say that there is not flock OF farm
poultry that does not pay.
The majority OF the poultry on the
farm is fed TOO much grain. Less grain
and more green stuff and meat should
be fed Potatoes, onions. beets, car
rots or anything of vegetable nature
is cheaper and tends to keep the fowls
much healthier, and that means more
eggs and consequently more profit. II
never seems to occur to the average
farmer that the effect of long con-
tinued diet of grain is as injurious to
| fowls as to cattle, nor that the CON
centrated grain food gives the best re-
| suits when diluted or mixed with some
bulky succulent material. Green food
| and meat are great egg producers IN
| themselves, and keep the system OF the
hen in a healthy condition no matter
what the breed may be. Every poultry
man knows how much hens appreciate
green food, especially in the winter.
Roots and vegetables are easily
grown and they can be kept all wiz
ter. When the fowls are to be con-
fined in houses and scratching pens
the hen should be made to exercise also
If she is inactive long enough and fed
wholly on grain she will become tat
and certainly cease laying. The sue
cessful plan for exercise is TO have
cabbage hung up in the hen house
lust high enough for the hens to jump
up and get good bite, or have gooe
runway and scatter bright wheat
straw over runway and feed your small
grain in this. This will keep the fowl:
busy scratching to obtain the grain.
Again. farmers should take great in
terest in the breeds. The only way t(
make a profit is to use that which con
verts the raw material into the mos
product in the shortest space of time
In POULTRY the pure breeds are capable
of yielding the greatest number OF egg
and the heaviest carcasses at the leas
. cost. The cross bred fowl or the mon
| grel is an uncertainty. 1t has no tiNe'
quality and cannot transmit uniform
ty in its offspring, and occupies spac
that can be better filed by pure breeds

Fattenine Geese in France.

One method Of fattening geese in
France is to put the birds in barrel,
in which a number of holes are bored,
each large enough to permit the birds
to put their heads through. The bar
rel keeps them confined and thus pre-
vents exercise. which is the object of
the confinement. Outside Of the bar

good one.
l always make lath run four
feet long, two to ~. feet wide, and
20 inches high. Put it in front of
and against the coop, and let the hen
out into it in good wea ther, and I'M
til the chicks are two weeks old.
After that the hen can run where she
pleases with her chicks, unless she
pleases to go into the wet, or runs
through the grass and tires the
chicks too much, in either of which
cases confine her few days longer
You must be your own judge on such
points as this. The first six or eight
weeks are the critical time in the life
of the chicks. From that time for
ward they call for comparatively little
trouble, and can vastly better with
stand any storms or disease te
which they may be exposed.-Journa

color later on. In fact. sometimes
when the chicks are pure white it may
