best of care during the summer
months to keep them free from lice
and to keep them growing all of the
time. This is the only way to get the
best of show birds. One cannot get a
prize winner from the best of stock
If they are stunted in their growth at
any time from the time they leave the
she'll until they reach the show room.
If the breeders are intended for the
early shows and fairs they should be
fed so that they will be moulted out
by the time they are placed in the
show ring, as that is one of the prin-
cipal things in the winning at these
early exhibits; that and the size of the
young stock. Of course they have to
have some good points to be in on the
money.
Let me impress it very clearly on
your memory, that if you are thinking
of starting in the fancy poultry bust
ness, it will pay you to buy a few
choice birds now and hold them over
until next season as you can keep
them just as cheap as the breeder and
you will save from SIS to $50 on a pen
of fowls from what you would have to
pay next December or January.
Buy the best that you can get and
take good care of them and you will
be pleased with your expenditures.

rapid growers as ducks. In some To-
calities it is possible to sell duck
lings at six weeks DID, but it re-
quires ten weeks to turn out really
finished article, and they should be
very heavy and full fledged by this
date. After ten weeks they usually
begin to, moult and go back in condi-
ton, but if they are kept entirely in
covered sheds they will fledge more
slowly and will keep in splendid con-
dition till the age of fifteen weeks.
This is to be desired where the duck
lings are reared on purpose to supply
ones own private table. Granulated
meat is the most handy kind of meat
to give little ducklings. 1t can be
stewed with cheap rice and thickened
up with bran. 1t is very rich and
concentrated and very little will go
long way Dried blood is also excel
lent, but it must be absolutely whole
some or it will cause cholera.
One meal with meat in it every day
will be quite sufficient, and it is best
given the first thing in the morning
I also choose this opportunity to mix
in a small quantity of sifted sand and
fine shell grit; then | am sure that
the ducklings have started the day
we'll Feed first and make a second
round with the water Do not give
more water than the ducklings will
drink right up. Also be sure that
the dish is sufficiently deep to allow
them to bury the nostrils at least, and
it is better to have it deep enough to
cover the entire bill. 1t is a great
mistake to give the advice that
have so frequently seen to water in
shallow pans. In shallow pan the
ducklings can dabble about enough to
chill their feet and give themselves
cramps in their fruitless endeavors to
obtain sufficient water to keep the
nostrils clear. Nothing is quite so
satisfactory as piece of gutter mould
ing with two square pieces of wood
nailed at each end. However, very
large pan of water may be given and
the ducklings may wash little with
out harm if the pan is removed as soon
as they have had enough. Between
two and four weeks old they should
be fed six times a day.

When Breeding Season is Over.

AS this is the time of the year that
most of the breeders are finishing up
the Matching business and will be turn
ing out the breeding stock, | will try
and give a few remarks in regard
to the subject, writes w. N Robinson,
a prominent Iowa breeder
When done sitting eggs for yourself
or selling them to trade for the pur-
pose of incubation, you should separ-
ate the males from the females and
give the males little more feed than
it is best for the females, as they are
generally in poor condition at the close
of the breeding season. If the males
are separated and given all the feed
they need on a good grass run, they
will make a better growth and be in
fine condition for the early fairs and
shows.
If the birds are for sale they should
be gotten in as fine a condition as pos
sible before they are shipped out, as
they will prove more satisfactory to
the purchaser. This time of the year
is a great time for the ones that want
to introduce new blood in their flock
or those that want to start in the fan
cy, as most of the breeders will sell at
less than half what they would have
asked during the winter months for
the same birds.
I have always made it practice of
selling some of my Brahmas at this
time of the year to make room for the
young stock, and I have never had a
complaint from sales made on breed
ers at this time of the season.
One can buy a pen or a trio at this
time of the year. say June, and then
sit few of the eggs and raise a num-
Der of young chicks from the small
beginning. OF course. the chicks will
not be old enough for show birds, but
will be very good breeders the next
season.
The young stock should have the

The MouIting Season.

M. E. Wilcox, in Poultry Success:
Much has been said and volumes more
could be written and then but frac-
tional part would have been told about
what should be fed and just how biddy
should be cared for during the moult-
ing and other seasons. The making
of new feathers calls for much protein
and at the same time oily foods seem
to be beneficial. Usually, fowls moult
in autumn, but many shed their feath-
ers during any season of the year
This is usually caused by shock to
the system, but more often to the ex-
haustive drainage of vitality, the re-
suit OF heavy egg production or long
continued incubation. Fowls may be
induced to hasten the process of re-
newing their plumage by reducing the
ration for a period If kept upon
one-half ration for ten days or two
weeks in close confinement in a dark
ened room in late summer, egg pro-
duction will entirely cease and moult-
ing take place.
During the moulting process poultry
should be fed plentifully of a ration
rich in protein, with a liberal supply
OF carbonaceous foods until they have
acquired a normal condition, after
which adhere more Glossy to protein
nutriments, especially if eggs be the
object. During the moulting season

After the ducklings are two weeks

large quantities of food They will
be willing to eat anything that is Of

much better if their food is carefully

Poultry Raising on the Columbia.

FOulCTy hdISily OF Tic SOiufIipld.
l have never had any experience In
the poultry business, but am putting
in my summer vacation reading and
studying up on the subject. | find all
the poultry books and journals l have
thus far read emphasizing the fact
that dampness is very detrimental to
chickens. | have wondered whether
this interfered with the business along
the Pacific coast country, where you
have so much rain during the winter
season. Will you please enlighten
me on this point? l am thinking of
locating on the Columbia river near
Portland, to engage in the poultry bus
mess, making the production of mar
ket eggs a specially. - Subscriber,
Wardner, Idaho.
The enquirer in casting about for a
location in which to embark in the
poultry business, will find but very few
locations which can with truth be
said to be ideal in every respect-elth-
er too wet, too dry, too hot or too
cold at some season of the year, will
apply in nearly, if not quite, every In
stance. We would pronounce TOO
dry as the most serious objection and
'too wet" as the least Objectionable.
Dry and well ventilated quarters Tor
the fowls are Indispensable and dry
runway is desirable. The locations
are rare indeed, either in Washington
or Oregon, where suitable spot Tor
poultry buildings and runways cannot

and scratching rooms can be made to
suit these conditions either by putting
in a tight floor, about six inches above
i r.th
desired by filling in Any place, ex-
cept a swamp, will do for the runway
during eight months of the year, and
an ideal runway would be one with
swamp composing a part of it. Dur
ing the hot summer days no place
suits the fowls better than a damp and
shady spot to go to in search OF worms
and shade. A strong argument in
favor of a damp climate for the bust
ness, is that the indispensable green
food can be depended upon for every
day of the year Such crops as the
various roots for winter feed and
clover. cabbage, lettuce and the like
for summer feed, can be very easily
grown Then again, some breeds OF
fowls are better suited for damp con-
ditions than are others. Were | To-
eating in a hot or dry locality, would
select the Leghorns as the most suit
able breed. In locality where the
prevailing conditions as to climate are
moist and wet, | would select the Ply
mouth Rocks, Wyandotts or some SINH
lar breed. And again, the kind of feed
to be selected is largely governed by
the climatic conditions. Dampness
calls for corn as the dominant feed
whereas heat and dryness call for
wheat and oats for such feed. We
would not for moment consider the
climatic conditions along the Column
bia river to be a serious objection to
the business. II. l.. Blanchard.

A Cucumber Garden.

A good way to raise cucumbers is to
slant them around barrel placed near
the we'll. where they can be watered
often, as when grown slowly in hot
weather they are liable to become bitter;
aud raised in this way, they make such
. rapid growth that one is sure to have
Gue, tender ones. Take barrel with
both ends removed, and after spading
up the ground thoroughly, place it at
the desired point. Plant the seeds
GROUND the outside of the barrel, and ill
the barrel with well-rotted manure; ev-
cry gay pour in pailful or two ofwater'
and the vines, being thus ted with liquid
manure, will make a quick growth, run
ming several feet each way from the bar

vines can be trained upward. and in this
way, make an ornament out OF the I'M
