ceived during January, 290 eggs;

Total, 1886. l sold 457 dozen for
$48.15. Prices for eggs here range
from 9 cents in August to 20 cents in
winter. I only sold one lot of 81 dozen
for 20 cents in February and a few
sittings at Is cents each. We use a
great many eggs for a family of five.
l did not set very many eggs. but
raised about 60 chickens, some hens
hid their nests in the weeds and
Matched out broods Of chickens. Some
were rather late, but az the winter
is mild they + growing nicely. Sold
II fine roosters at Is cents a piece and
killed about 8 for eating. We send
for new stock every two years. We
still think the Rose Comb Brown Leg
horns are the best fowls in the world
for eggs. Ours have free range Of the
farm and are rather too fat just now
as they can get to the pig-pen or corn
crib. We are having fine weather now
and no snow. Rats did not take any
chickens last year, although they are
still about the farm. I saw an article
in the Farmers Review about hens
not eating broken crockery, and I
would like to say that my hens will
eat anything I give them in that line.
even bits Of glass. They will crowd
round me when I am breaking it and
soon pick up every piece. providing
the pieces are small enough for them
to swallow. I keep lime and sand al
ways round where they can get 1t.

instance, the buyers try to impress
upon the raisers the necessity Of get
ting In all Of their male turkeys by the
10th Of December, The reason is in
teresting. Thanksgiving and Christ
mas are the visiting times. The big
turkeys are in special demand. because
the tables will have added plates for
guests. After Christmas the turkeys
suitable for the family alone. the hen
turkeys, will be the mi more in de-
mand. Turkeys are scarcely market
able in summer. But the buyers take
them and the central plants hold them
in the cold rooms.
Generally speaking the poultry raiser
should let condiments" alone. Occa-
sionally they may be fed a little pep
per, but it should be very occasionally
say once a week. We do not be-
lieve the birds really need it at all.
The idea of giving large doses daily
did not originate in a scientific mind,
but can only be the result of guess
work. Such stimulating things are in
the nature Of medicines and no healthy
body needs medicines. Above all the
nostrums on the market that are adj
vertised to make hens lay should be
avoided. They will do more harm than
good. Good. we'll balanced feed and ex-
ercise will prove all the stimulant
needed.
Poultry houses should not be located
on the north side of a clump of ever
green trees or to the north of build
ings that will shut off the supply of
sunshine in the winter time. Sun
shine should be present at all times
of the day; its salutary effect will be
remarkable. In the summer time the.
fowls naturally get all the sunshine
they want without u help, but at
this time of year we must give them
our help. Sunshine will keep the air
dry and will to some extent neutralize
the moisture constantly being thrown
off from the lungs of the fowls. A few
good sized windows on the south side
will prove of immense value.
On cold days the water for the poul-
try should be given a and in suf-
ficient quantities to prevent it freezing
at once. It is easier to keep a large
body of water from freezing than a
small one. It will need to be renewed
twice a day and in the coolest days
oftener than that.
There are now over 80 breeds Of
chickens. ducks, geese and turkeys in
the United States, and many more in
foreign countries. In addition every
few years sees some new breed de-
veloped, as notice the White Plymouth
Rocks and the Buff Leghorns.

sus.r Beet Pulp q stock FooA..

Sugar Beet Pulp ~ Stock Food.
At the convention Of Michigan live
stock breeders held in Detroit recent
~, the use Of sugar beet pulp az a ra-
ton for cattle came up for discussion
#. D. Wells said that pulp had been
tested near the Rochester factory and
the rebuilt had been favorable. It had
been fed as much Is Z bushel per head
per day without any i'll effects, and the
animals had done we'll on It. Mi. Rob
erts was having the pulp delivered at
his farm near Jackson from the Bay
City factory. Was feeding 1t to dairy
cows with excellent results. Prof.
Clinton d. Smith Of the State Agricul-
>tural College thought the question Of
the value OF beet pulp was not yet
settled. He explained the process
through which the beets were put In
the sugar factory, and thought there
could not be much Of value left in
them. Still he was aware that in other
countries the pulp was valued quite
highly.
