Good oualities Of Hampshirsa

Good Qualities Of Hampshlres.
From the Farmers Review: We have
handled the sturdy Hampshire for ten
years and with q very satisfactory de-
mand for them. We ind that they are
making their way to recognition and
adoption and for good reasons The
Hampshire is large, strongly built.
heavily Quartered, with q face. head.
neck and chest that denote remarkable
constitution and hardness. His mas
sive form, fne-fibered fleece, early ma
turity, docility and close flocking hab-
its should cause him to grow into gem
eral favor. The Hampshire may have
an equal but no superior for early
lamb-raising, the lambs often averag-
ing a pound Of growth per day for the
first 60 or 80 days. The Hampshire
eve is prolific and a great mixer and
mother. For crossing on other breeds
for mutton purposes the Hampshire
has no superior, stamping his offspring
with his own magnificent characters
tics. He is . splendid feeder, is
rarely out of condition, will adapt him
self to and thrive upon the coarsest
heritage or the toughest p%rovender
without seeming Inconvenience. He
takes on flesh and fat with wonderful
facility. In these qualities sheep
breeders will find the Hampshire es-
pecially adapted to Illinois conditions
and an all around farmers sheep.-R.

Kansas state Poultry Show.
Breeders, do not miss the Kansas
state poultry show this year. You
well know that for the past four or
I'VE years it has been M Of the llarg-
est, ~cleanest and best shows In the
west. All premiums have been paid
in full at close Of; show. The associa-
ton now has enough money In the
treasury to guarantee all premiums.
and l will get banker to 80 certi-
~. Such a guarantee as this is worth
considering. We will this year put up
nearly a thousand dollars worth of
premiums, competition will be open
to the world, no favors will be shown
to any one, every bird will receive the
best Of care In our hands. and I can
promise you that you will be pleased
with treatment you will receive. The
officers have all had experience and
know just what they are doing. and
they mean business. Our entry fees
will be the same popular one hereto
fore maintained and premiums will be
better than ever. We have every posi-
BILE shipping facility, and with q good
hall. good light, good heating facili-
ties, good ventilation, and the best Of
care, we know you will be pleased.
What more could you ask?>I conf
IDENTIFY expect 1900 birds this year; we
had ove a thousand last year. Judges
Rhodes and Harris will place the
awards. We want birds from sur

v~eutl.t,on o, Poultry Houses.

From Farmers Review: In regard
to ventilation Of poultry houses, my
experience has been with ventilators
not just satisfactory. I mean the top
or roof ventilators. I use windows
for ventilation. sliding them as much
as I like every morning, according to
the weather, and closing them eve
nings. A bird in extreme cold wealth
er gets enough ventilation at night in
most buildings, without any ventila-
tors, unless they are crowded. find
no trouble In keeping my stock In good
condition, and the buildings always
dry and dusty. by this mode of ven
hlation. In small buildings and col
ony houses I usually bore two holes
about three-inch holes-one at each
end Of building, about a foot from
the roof. These holes have q slide on
the inside. and in bad weather or cold
nights I close the slides, but leave the
holes open every day. This I ind a
very good ventilator for small build
ings. In regard to i'll ventilation, I
have seen much bad effect from over
crowding, and too little ventilation
generally causes roup nine times out
Of ten. A great many seal their stock
up night and day, but It is q bad plan.
1 slide my window most every day.
II only for an hour or 80. I seldom
have a roupy fowl, and handle them
by the thousand. All our buildings are
single wall except the brooder houses.

10. Under NO circumstances should
anything be added to milk to prevent
its SQUIRTING. Cleanliness and cold are
the only preventives needed.
II. All milk should be IN good con-
dition when delivered. This may make
It necessary to deliver twice q day
