SELL THE FAT HENS.
No Process by Which They May Ne
Turned Into Profitable Layers
In Less Than Six Weeks.

When by overlooking flock OF hens
has become too fat to lay, it seldom
pays to put them on short rations for
the purpose of reducing them in flesh.
Where hen is too fat to lay she is IN
prime condition for the table, and that
is the best use which can be made OF
her. When anything is in first-class
market condition it ought to go to
market. 1t is only in exceptional cases
that the destruction of this condition
can be justified on the ground of good
business policy. The rule will not ap"
ply in the case of very choice breeding
stock, but under the ordinary state
of affairs this is the most profitable
course to pursue. Reducing fat hens
to a laying condition is not as simple
a task as it may appear to be. If this is
attempted in the middle of the winter
the chances arc three to one that there
will be no eggs until spring. And it is
usually in the middle of the winter
that this operation is undertaken, as
it is not until about that time that the
owner discovers that his hens are in an
over fat condition. 1t takes an expert
to make the change and start the eggs
while the weaeher is still cold. This
writer has had his share of grief with
over fat hens, and he knows of no proc
css by which he can turn them into
profitable layers short of six weeks.
The hens will have to lay a tremendous
lot of eggs to make good the loss sus"
tanned by six weeks of idleness during
the latter half of the winter. It is: bet
ter to save the weight at six or seven
cents pound, and replace the fat hens
with lighter ones.-Wallace's Farmer.

Briefly, her mother had died sudden

widow several years, and always
earned a good income, but never ac-
cumulated any money. She had given
her daughter an education, and now
Hecuba had taken her mothers place

They are sure death to young chicks,

poultry keeper. '>''
I got the pests with some thorough
bred poultry purchased which taught
me in future to buy eggs, and get my
new blood that way, and run no risk OF
importing lice and disease into my
flock.
What to do I hardly knew, as the
building was large and new and tarred
paper did not daunt them.
I drove out the poultry, closed the
building, took a pail of kerosene, a
whitewash brush, and went all over
the wood parts, wetting them thor
oughly, then l smoked the building for
ten days with sitting sulphur smoke.
After two weeks found the ground
floor simply alive with the lively mites;
then 7 took barrel of slaked lime
to have, and spread it about
an inch deep all over the floor, and
that killed them.
You ask why did not use some OF
the advertised lice killers? Because
the expense would have been too great.
Still l would advise using them where
the building is small. l find the foun-
dation of all the lice remedies l have
used consists of tar, kerosene, sulphur
and roaddust, and I see no necessity
of purchasing it ready mixed.-Clara

HENHoUsE MADE OF HAY.

poultry netting is put on the sides all
around the shed, and before Gtapling
to place the wire is set in the ground
about eight inches to keep out rats.
Poles are then set about three feet
from the sides all around the shed,
with the exception of the south side,
and a few strands of wire tackled to
them to keep the sides in place. When
the hay is put in it is tramped we'll un-
til it is built up to the paper and the
projecting laps laid over.
When cold weather sets in the south
side of the shed is covered with heavy
duck and Stats nailed over the duck.
For entrance flap is left and a board
tackled to the duck endwise. Loops of
leather or wire are stapled to the board
to draw taut. This will give the build
ing plenty of light and will answer
better than window glass. During the
warm months the duck is removed and
put away for future use. The sides on
the north are also removed for ventila-
ton. In the fall new sheds and runs
are erected upon a new location, the
poles removed, the old pile of hay
burned and the ground plowed for q

The season for selling eggs is again
at hand. and little card in your home
paper would undoubtedly bring you
good customers.
The scraps from the table will pro-
duce better results if given to the hens
than to the pigs or cows. Give plenty
of milk also.
Scaly legs can be cured by dipping
the feet and legs of the fowl into coal
oil. One or two clippings will be all
that's needed.
A pullet is at her best as show bird

it is high time you were advertising
