The Colfax chronicle., 1901-08-31

When hog or sheep has reached
maturity they have reached the high
est points of their usefulness or profit
to man, If, of course. they are not. in
tended for breeding purposes. After
maturity no other animals deteriorate
so fast as sheep. Four years seems
the limit of sleeps proit-making
life, and in buying this must not be
lost sight of. 1t is true that no other
stock shows the effect of age 80
plainly as sheep. OF hogs little need
be said; they go to market soon
enough; indeed, the race is in greater
danger of extinction from breeding
from immature parents than from
keeping hogs too long. OF course
there is golden mean, and to show
there are extremes, the story is told
of summer boartler in Nova Scotia,
where the family kept a hog. Two
years latter he returned and focnd
the same hog. On inquiring why they
had not long since killed it he waa
met by the apparently unanswerable
question: "What would we do with
the swill l?"-Farmer's Voice.
The Colfax chronicle., 1901-08-31

Corn is best for the evening feed.
Turkeys and guineas are great for.
ayers for insects.
Game hens make the best settlers
and mothers; they are the least awk-
ward.
Feed the table scraps to the chick
ems rather than to the pigs.
The farmer should always give his
fowls large run.
Exercise is much better than drugs
as stimulant for egg production.
The best egg producers are not al
ways the best market fowls.
Ducks should have dry quarters at
night.
A breed usually has but one domi-
nate talent.
In majority of cases the sooner .
sick hen is killed the better. 1t may
save the rest Of the flock.
In building poultry houses remem-
Der the most important requisites are
light, ventilation and warmth.
Never breed from immature fowls,
| no matter how handsome or perfect
| in looks they may be.
| l)o not feed too plentifully of soft
| feed or the birds will sit and mope
after eating.
A growing chick. like growing
animal, requires plenty of wholesome
food, supplied plentifully and LIBERAL
ly.
| Dark feathers usually cover q dark
skin, hence, dark colored chickens are
not popular as table fowls.
/ Watch out foe lice.
| Do not let the chicks get wet.
Give fresh water twice day now.
Chicks raised in brooder must be
taught to roost-
Bran and bu,termilk make good
ration for laying hens.
Feed your fowls systematically and
regularly.
An occasional change of feed will
be relished by the fowls and will helr
egg-production.
| Neither the Toulouse of Embden

hens that are too fat, as often it is
