Young Chicks In summer.

II they are dying or seem dropping,
examine very carefully for lice. II
lice are found, and there is not much
doubt but they will be, dust with good
insect powder and also dust the
mother. Dust her extra we'll under
the wings and around the vent. Rub
coal oil on her legs. II they are scaly
few applications will clean them.
and If smooth it will prevent the hen
or chicks from having sealy legs. II
is best for all reasons to dust the hen
or chicks at roosting time and sprinkle
coal oil on the underside Of the coop.
Sprinkle with oil twice a week, il is
much cheaper than having lice.
See that they have access to a good
dust bath. Sawdust mixed with the
fine dust is a great help. 1t will work
into the skin better, and enables the
hen TO shake the lice off when she
shakes herself after the bath. II no
lice or signs OF life, /. e., nits, are seen,
and the chicks are ailing, you have
surely neglected to provide teeth" for
the little things. Mix some sharp sand
in their breakfast, and have a dish or
board Of grit, pounded dishes and
small gravel in their coop. OF course
you don't feed your chicks in their
roosting room. There's not much ex-
cuse TO make chicken diningroom in
their bedroom. It's too expensive in
the end. Move your roosting coop to
clean ground each week w. A. c..

Out of His Element.

The story of the woman who said
that she was glad to have her daugh-
tiers read Scott and such authors, but
could not countenanee novels and
works of fiction" Is Incredible to some
lovers of Sir Walter. To them the
name Of Scott calls up no other image
than that of the tender-hearted author
of "Wayerley."

to encourage the reading of the works

July is the growing month for all
young stock. Chicks Matched by hens
will have great advantage over
brooder stock, unless the latter is
given space enough and not coddled
too much by heat. A great many mis-
takes are made in brooding artificially
and this is one OF the most serious
too much heat and too long continued
March and April matches should now
be fairly grown, and the sooner they
are separated and given free range the
quicker they will develop and mature
They do not need any heat whatever
simply protection from the rains,
dews and cold winds at night. Fresh
air at night, coupled with plenty OF
grow rapidly. The best method oil
separating chicks is to COLOMBO them
in boxes placed in an orchard where
there is plenty OF run, plenty of grass
and plenty of shade. Add to this good
sound grain at night and at noon, and
mash of ground oats and corn and
bran, equal parts mixed crumbly, for
the morning, and a supply of fresh
water, and you have done all that is
possible for them; nature must do the
rest. OF course their coops must al
ways be kept clean. and little boxes
OF grit placed where they can find
them. 1t will surprise many who
have never tried this method to see
how fast the youngsters will grow.
Soon grasshoppers will abound and
then the fun begins and the chicks de-
light is at hand. Chickens thus given
free range can be fed great quantity
of muscle and transforming foods such
as corn, wheat and barley. They will
develop accordingly, working off in ex-
ercise the heavy feeding.
July is also an important month for
the old stock. II your breeding season
is overland it is with the majority
separating your male birds and giving
your females free range and plenty of
exercise will put them in fine condi-
ton to stand an early moult. which is
so necessary in order to obtain early
fall eggs.-Country Gentleman.

feeding and caring for the poultry as
well as your other stock and see ii the
poultry on the farm will not pay you
better than any other stock you have.
Another important matter is the
condition OF most all poultry houses

have no house for the poultry at all,
but instead let them roost, on binder
