POULTRY POINTERS.

When chickens grow very fast, II
sometimes causes leg weakness.
Under usual conditions variety OF
food is better than any medicine that
can be given.
The only safe way of disposing of
dead fowls that have died of any con-
taglous disease is to burn them.
Clover contains two elements that
are In demand by the hens-nitrogen
and lime. 1t is rich In the elements
required for the whites of eggs.
When roup gets into flock, 1t inva'
riably leaves some ailment behind
The fowl that has been subject to 1t IL
seldom healthy again.
There is no cure for feather pulling
except by more labor and time than an
ordinary flock is worth. The best plan
is to get rid of the guilty fowls as soor
as possible.
A hen seldom begins to eat eggshells
until she finds one broken or until she
becomes accustomed to eating eggs
thrown out into the yard. The safest
plan is always TO crumble them up fine
before feeding.
