Poultry Notes.

All the non-sitting breeds lay white
eggs.
The roosts should be low especially
for heavy fowls.
Unusually large eggs denote that the
hens are too fat.
Poultry makes a three-fold return
eggs, flesh and feathers.
The greatest layers make poor sitters
and Indifferent table fowls.
Give and feed of good, sound grain
daily. Whole wheat is good.
Never inbred; change cocks every
year and always use pun e-bred birds.
Old geese are best for Matching and
young geese sell for the best price.
For young chickens 1t is a good plan
to mix the soft food with milk, not
making it sloppy.
While the guinea is noisy creature,
its noise frightens away many enemies
of the poultry yard.
If any chickens are to be Matched late
they should be of varieties that feather
quickly and mature early.
In putting salt in the food, the
quantity should not exceed the amount
used i'll food for the table.
The farm offers the advantage of a
wide range and fowls thus favored
have more beautiful plumage
To secure uniform chicks and have
the majority females, the fowls them
selves should possess uniformity as
regards color. plumage and age, as well
as size and marking.
Avoid using lard, Oil or grease Of any
kind about a hen or nest during
incubation. A creased egg win not
hatch. The pores Of the skin are closed
by the grease. causing suspended ac-
ton within. Under the influence Of the
heat decomposition follows.
Poultry. especially when confined. ara
benefited by an occasional feed Of
cooked meat For this purpose, lean
meat that will divide readily into
fibers resembling small worms is very
tempting to fowls. But do not give
much fat meat. 1t is muscle and bone
and feather-making material that they
need. and fat meat supplies none OF
these. while lean meat contains them
all.

As rule medium sized animals take

fatter and plumper.
The best means of Increasing the

Weeds are continually drawing from
the soil the plant food which should go
toward the development of the grow

allowed to grow the more Of the plant
