FOR ORDINARY FARMERS.
The Claim That 1t Doesn't Pay Them
to Fuss a Lot with Hens.

to Fuss "a Lot With Hens.
The ordinary farmer who reads the
elaborate directions for the care and
feeding of poultry which often appear
in print may be excused if he shows
symptoms of disgust
For he is busy man, his wife is a
busy woman, and help indoors and out
is busy too. He has no time for all this
fuss and feathers"
Nor will so much of it pay him. He
cannot afford to spend so much time
and money, to the neglect of other i'm
portant affairs, in caring for his poul-
try. The returns do not and will not
justify it on the ordinary well conduct
ed farm.
This will provoke dissenting opinions
from many, but it is a fact. But it is
equally a fact that attention to the
chickens will pay.
How to get the most from the flock
with the least labor is the problem for
the farmer.
One way is to save labor by spending
a little time in making things conven-
lent for the laborer.
Fix the house so that it is dry and as
warm as possible. If poultry must be
confined, put enough hens in it, not too
many.
Have the roosts so arranged that
they will not become foul from drop
pings Make them SO that they can be
removed easily or so that they can be
painted frequently with lice killers
with little trouble.
Provide place for the feed. 1t is
not necessary for the ordinary farmer
to cook mashes every morning or warm
corn every evening for his chickens.
Just give them enough of some kind of
grain, wheat, corn or oats. changing
occasionally, and let it go at that.
Waste vegetables are all right. Green
bone is good to increase egg production.
No poultry farmer should be without
them; even the average farmer may
find them profitable. If he can't have
them, he can worry along without
them.
If the chickens are all kept around
the barn. keep something handy for
them to eat. Barns are usually COM
Portable places for chickens, and If
fed enough they will respond. The
trouble is that they are expected to
find their own living around the barn,
and they can't do it.
Never mind about cleaning out the
house every day. Keep it as clean as
possible, but no need to worry about
it every day.
Remember that poultry manure
ranks high as a fertilizer. Try it once
and see A little time spent in saving
it will be richly rewarded. Realiza-
ton of the value of poultry manure
will usually keep the houses clean
enough on the average farm.
No use to feed so many hens or any
cockerels If they lay well, moder-
ate number will give enough eggs. If
they don't, more will not help much,
and the smaller the number kept to-
gether the better they will do.
Reasonable care and abundant feed
will usually bring the desired result in
eggs Don't think because you can't
have fancy poultry or can't care for 1t
according to the fancier's standard you
must be without eggs. Do something
for the hens; they will return the ia

Lime SunnIY For Poultry.

One of the best materials that poul-
trylnan can use for supplying the req
uisite lime is oyster shell or any other
variety of shells. An experiment in
this direction was made at the New
York experiment station, and the result
was such that the use of oyster shells
during the laying season, where they
can be cheaply obtained, was strongly
recommended. 1t was found there that
one pound of oyster shells contained
sufficient lime for the shells Of about
seven dozen eggs.
Shells are not the only source for the
lime necessary for eggshells. Bones
also contain large percentage of lime,
as is seen from the following analysis
of clean, dry bones of oxen and sheep:
Per cent.
Carbonate of lime. Observation-Disclosures. to Z
Phosphate of lime. ................... 81 to 63
Phosphate of magnesia. to 2
Fluoride of calcium. 2
Organic matter Observation-Disclosures. 20 to ~
Fresh green bones also contain, be-
sides the lime compounds, some pro-
tein or flesh formers which add to their
value as a poultry food. The best way
to render the bones available is to have
them broken by means of the bone cut
ter. One pound of the green bones is
generally considered sufficient for six
teen hens. Besides the cut bones or
oyster shells the hens must have gen.
erous supply of some kind of grit, very
coarse sand or broken crockery. The
prit serves as teeth for the hens, and
when they are unable to obtain it indi-
gestion and other ailments are sure to
follow.

No. 4O7.-A Mathematical Family.

There is family, real or imaginary, in
which the ages, counting in full years,
are connected automatically in a very
curious manner. The age of the elder
child is the square of that of the younger
child, and the age of the grandmother is
the square of that of the eldest child.
The ages of the two children multiplied
together give the age of an adopted
daughter. The mothers age is equal to
those of the two children and the adopted
daughters added together, and the age
of the father is the difference between
the mothers and grandmother's ages.
Find the ages of the several members
of this remarkable family.
