Line breeding.

Line breeding Is another term for in
breeding, not haphazard, but scientific
inbreedlng. snys u. j. Coyne, Jr, in
Commercial Poultry. For example
breeder starts with n trio or pen Of un.
related or distantly related birds. The
next season he must not mate their
progeny alone for that would be dan
gerous lnbreedlng-br brothers and SIS
ters-and the stock Is all young. Tx.
perlence has taught us that such a
mating produces infertile eggs and
young stock lacking in vitality. The
proper matlngs are to mate the cock
bird to his pullets and the best cock
erel to the hens, and so on year after
year the birds are mated, young to old
and old to young, without the introduc-
ton of strange blood, the object being
to avoid mating brothers and sisters,
birds too closely related or immature
birds.

SUCCESS WITH TURKEYS.
Care of Little PouIts Mt Matching
Timc--Whnt to Feed.

The manner Of handling the turkey
hens and little poults when the poults
hatch and during the ten days that I'm
mcdlatcly follow depends considerably
upon the conditions TO which they are
subject, writes ii. \. Nourse in Rcla-
bic Poultry journal
Some turkey breeders prefer to give
old ana young free range ana throw
them wholly upon their own resources.
Other breeders give them full liberty
to 90 where they like, but feed the hen
and brood regularly. Still others find
II best TO COniinc the pOults or the hens
until the young turkeys are we'll start,
ed.
The natural way for Il hen to do after
the hatch Is complete Is to take her
brood into the fields or into the brush
II there Is any. There she protects
them from enemies and feeds them
with such animal ana vegetable food
as she can find, The young raised In
that manner are strong and healthy.
and when they get well started they
grow rapidly, But heavy rains and
lN'''N'' ~ ''ilP "NhNllNA NulutllllltS
cause heavy losses in brOOds so raised,
and various means are taken to pre-
vent such loss by limiting the range
for longer or shorter time after
Matching
One method is to coniinc the turkey
hen in n coop and allow the poults to
run at large, The coop for this pur-
pose should not be less than four feet
long by three wide and high enough to
allow the hen to stretch to her full
height Hens that have not been accus-
toned to any kind of restraint seldom
can be confined in n coop successfully.
These coOps must be moved daily to
fresh locations, and the hen must be
busted with lice killing powder once a
week to keep down the lice, which
breed and increase rapidly when the
turkey is unable to take thorough
dust bath.
Unless the hen is very tame she can
not be let out for an occasional run,

CoIonizinR the Chicks.

As the chicks grow older divide them
into colonies. Place them away from
each other In hocks Of from thirty to
fifty in separate coops made for the
purpose. This separation gives more
room for development and lends Its
aid to better health. There cannot be
any better way than this to gain quick
growth, provided they are well fed on
good wholesome food that will develop
bone, meat and muscle. If the cock.
erels are all separated from the pull
lets, so much the better for both, but
this cannot he successfully done I'M
less there are separate runs for EACH
Feather.

In n recent report Of experiments in
feeding chicks the Rhode Island expert
mcnt station says:
"Thc use of the proper proportion of
animal food will pay handsome profit
through decreased mortality and In
creased weight OF the chicks.
"Thc experiment which led up to this
conclusion was with an incubator hatch
OF 2l0 chickens. These were separated
into lots of about fifty each and placed
In similar brooders. For thirty days
all conditions were kept alike except
the rations. Pen A was fed balanced
ration Of grains, meat and green food
The chicks grew and thrived, and not
one chick showed symptoms Of dlges-
tive disorder. The deaths amounted to
80 per cent. In pen Il all animal food
was withheld. The deaths were 0.5 per
cent, of which 70 per cent had bowel
trouble. Pen G was fed on grain alone,
all animal food and all green food be-
ing omitted from the ration The
deaths were 32.7 per cent Of which 7G5
per cent showed digestive trouble. In
pen ID all grain food was omitted. The
deaths Of chicks were G37 per cent, Of
which 1873 per cent showed bowel trou-
bic. All the living chicks were weigh
ed Mt the close of the test, and pen A
showed the greatest average weight.

PARTRIDGE WYANDOTTES.
An English Opinion of This New Va
rIcty of Fowls.


rIcty of Fowls.
Although one of the latest varieties
of the popular Wyandottc family, the
Partridge Wyandottc has become n
great favorlte and by many Is con
sldcred to be the best variety of the
breed, for It combines with very
handsome appearance excellent laying
London Mail. With the whites they
produce larger eggs than any Of the
other Wyandottes and lay well in win
ter compared with other breeds.
Those who have admired the Par
fridge Cochin markings, but have been
unable to keep this breed on account
Of their broody propcnsItles, can by
keeping Partridge Wyandottes have the
coloring they admire, ana with profit
to themselves, for the pullets and hens
of the breed last mentioned have the
same colorlng and almost the same
penclings as the Partridge Cochlns.
Now for few words as to the points
OF the Partridge Wyandotte. The cock
should have Il rose comb. fitting close
to the head and the peak pointing
downward toward the neck, the beak
being OF dark horn striped with yell
low. The eyes should be hazel, with
nice brown ring round; face and ear
lobes red: neck, hackles and saddle
feathers n beautiful dark lemon color,
with black down the center of each
feather: shoulders dark red; wiring bars
brown, edged with black: breast and
thigh feathers black and brown, tail
black, carried well back, and legs yell
low, with four toes on each foot. 1t
will be noticed that the breast should
be black In color; but, as Is the case
with many of the black breasted
breeds, the young birds are apt to
throw brown feathers among the black,
while some of the feathers are licked
with brown. These birds are no good
for cockcrel breeding, but If mated

Chicken Notes.

Green bone should be fed three times
a week to the laying hens and daily to
the male bird.
Remember that Il lousy hen cannot
give you the results that she could If
free from lice.
A few drops of tlncture of iron in
the drinking water make an excellent
spring tonic for the fowls.
All deformed chicks should be killed
as soon as Matched. 1t is waste OF
time to try to raise them.
If the eggs from certain pen are
found to be largely infertile, lose no
time in getting a new male to head the
pen.
Never set deformed or i'll shaped
egg. 1t Is waste of time, Select the
best shaped eggs and be sure that they
are from strong, vigorous stockholm,

FEEDING THE CHICKS.
Hest Results Obtained From Dry
Grain Ration-Avoid Stops.

The dry grain ration as recommends
ed by so many Il strongly eXempllfied
In the several kinds of grain sold I'M
der the name of chick food for young
chicks, says the Feather. The use Of
this provides every food necessity for
the young chick. This Is n mixture Of
grains, grit, meat and vegetable foods
of the most approved character for the
sustcnanCe and growth OF the young
chick.
Where one wishes to provide his
own food supply from the products
near by or Of his own production Il
Is very easy matter to have finely
cracked or broken wheat, oats ana corn
with II very little mllet seed and some
fine sand for grit for the early period
Of the young chicks life. So soon as
they are old enough wheat, hulcd oats.
cracked corn and little millct seed
may he given to them. For meal of
mash food we should always prefer
the cooked jOhnnycakc. which can be
made the same as corn bread. Any
kind of meals may he used for this.
The best, however, Is n mixture of
ground meal, finely ground oats, with
all the husks or hull sftcd out, and
some wheat mlddllngs. This mixed
with either milk or water, Il few of the
infertile or clear eggs from under the
hen or the incubator stirred in, and
little baking powder added to make 1t
light, Is one Of the most beneficial foods
that can be prepared for the young
chicks.
Above all things, never feed any Swet
or sloppy foods. DO not allow the
brooder to become sollcd or dampened
from water or the scaldlng milk or wet
foods. Keep the interior Of the run.
way of the broodcr perfectly clean, dry
and free from the influence of sour or
spoiled food of any kind. When the
brooder chick foods are made use Of
there Is not so much necessity for grain
food. When the chicks are run out
upon the grass they can make their
own selection OF this, and when the
weather or other conditions Will not
permit provide them with some very
short cut grass, clover or vegetable
to cut this into very small particles

iy to clog up the crop or passageway
from the crop to the glzzard.
One of the most dangerous happen
ings to the brooder chick Is the pres.
cnce of bowel trouble, from whatever
cause 1t may come. 1t Is the most
prevalent danger of all, and more
chicks are destroyed through this agen-
Cy than from all other causes combin-
ed. Too much heat, too little heat,
dampness, cold and exposure are all
prolific causes of this trouble all of
which must be provided against. When
wet or sloppy foods are fed they pro-
duce the same trouble. Sour food
causes indigestion and fermentation in
die crop and thus creates the same
trouble. Avoid all these dangers and
care for the chicks in good, common
sense, everyday fashion and feed them
as chicks should be fed and you should
succeed with the handling OF brooder
chicks.
