SPRING POULTRY NOTES,

Lime in some form is indispensable
for the formation of egg shells and
should be within reach of laying hens
at all times.
The amount of green stuff laying
hens eat will surprise anyone who is
not in the habit of supplying his focks
with greens"
Young ducks will grow fast and do
we'll if they have no water in which
to swim. Give them plenty to drink
and let it go at that.
There is no sweetener Of a poultry
house so good as fresh earth. And
on the farm it is the cheapest. Use
it often and note the good results.
If the late Matched chicks are just
getting to laying give them chance
to do their best, for eggs are low in
price compared with few weeks ago
Eggs that have to be held for hatch
ing should be kept in a cool, dry place
and turned every three or four days.
If in covered trays this is an easy thing
to do.
Any farmer who thinks it will not
pay to bother with poultry should fix
up a suitable place for keeping the
fowls and agree with his wife, daugh-
ter or son that he will do the heavy
work and they may do the rest. See
what the results will be.-Farmers'
Voice.
