POULTRY
Eaa Shell Material.


1t Is comparatively easy, TO supply
material for the shell of the egg. Old
mortar pounded. oyster and clam
shells ground up, and bones cut up
quite fine and ground. all serve the
needed purpose. 1t is far easier to
keep the hen supplied with egg-shell
material than it is to keep her sup
piled with grit. About one-tenth of
the weight of the egg is the shell. In
100 pounds of eggs there are ten
pounds and over of lime in the form
of the shell. When eggs sell for twen-
ty cents per pound this means that
$500 has been taken in for lime in
the shell, material that cost nothing
as a feed. The better the supply OF
this material the stronger will be the
shell. Weak shells are never desir-
able. When the supply of lime is cut
of the shells are poorly formed and
are sometimes so thin that they break
too easily. This is a great annoyance
to the buyers; it prevents their ready
transportation, and it is the cause of
frequent accidents with the eggs in
the home pantry and kitchen. We
have seen eggs with shells SO thin
that they broke under the pressure OF
the thumb and fingers when they were
being handled with the usual amount
of care. The worst feature is, how
ever that the eggs break in the nests
and start the hens into the habit of
egg-eating.

Retopping Apple Trees.

This is the time of year when much
of the grating work is done. There
are good many trees in the orchard
that may be made valuable by being
entirely top-worked. The trees that
proved not true to name and are bear
ing inferior apples in place of the
good ones they were supposed to bear,
can be made to bear the good kind
in a very small number of years. 1t
is surprising how many trees of an
unsatisfactory nature are allowed to
go on year after year producing frat
that is only fit for the hogs or for
cider
A whole new top can be started on
a tree in three years, cutting off one
third of it each year, and inserting
scions of the desired variety. If the
whole top were cut off the first year,
it would generally result in killing
the tree. By cutting off only one
third each year, the circulation of
sap is kept up, and the scions of the
first year start a good growth. On
the second year, when the second
third of the tree top is cut off, the
first year scions have developed into
fairly good-sized branches, and by
the third year the new growth of
wood made by the scions previously
set is enough to keep up the circula-
ton of sap in the body of the tree,
which would be the part of the tree
to first fail in it's function, If all the
limbs were cut OF and the stumps
grated in one year.

Feed for Chicks.

1t must be remembered that the
little chick has absolutely no need
for food for the first twenty-four to
forty-eight hours after coming out of
the shell. Nature has arranged a food
for it, and this is already in process
of being digested. So the fear that
the little thing will die for lack OF
nourishment is unfounded. The little
piece OF sharp bone on the beak at
this time can be left on, as it will
fall of soon enough for the good Of
the chick. If 1t be picked OF and the
chick fed within a few hours after
birth, SO much the worse for the
chick When the chicken gets the
scale on its beak and really wants
food, 1t will show it with plainness
1t will begin to peck at everything
around. The first food given should
be soft food, as that would be the food
that would naturally come to the
chick In a state of nature. It has no
grit in its crop at this time and con-
seQuently cannot readily use things
that have to be ground. In its wild
state it would have picked up small
bugs and worms. Feed it soft food.
One of the best that can be given con-
sists of stale bread dipped In milk
This should not be wet SO much that
it will not crumble. Bread newly
baked and that is soft and mushy can
hardly be recommended for chicks at
this age. A little later ground grain
of almost any kind may be mixed with
milk and feed. One way to improve
this is to permit it to soak in the
milk for some hours before using
This renders it soft Sweet milk is best
to give at this period, while sour milk
and curd may be used later.
