When you see a poultryman begin to
get lazy and neglect his fowls, it is
a sign that the end Of his career as a
poultryman is not far distant.
The breeder wl.o makes the greatest
progress and Improvement is the one
who can see the good points in the
other fellows birds as well as those
in his own. Every one cannot do this.
The hen that molts early is the one
that will make the best winter layer.
This is a desirable trait, and such birds
should be bred from and encouraged
in early melting by giving them food
best suited to the purpose.
1t is not possible to make a rule for
feeding which can be literally and per-
sistent!y followed The idea is that no
fowl or lot Of fowls will eat or require
the same amount Of food each meal.
Do not be deceived into believing that
practical qualities and fancy points
cannot be bred ia the same bird This
IS d favorite cry with some people who
can't raise good ones and who want to
sell their culls American Poultry

In the Granite state.

For the first time systematic record
of the subordinate grange lecturers
literary work in New Hampshire has
been compiled by State Lecturer Pat
tee, and the result shows that in sin
gle month 1919 people in 1877 different
oranges discussed state aid for high
ways During the last quarter there
were given in 229 oranges 1887 selec-
tons of vocal and 500 of instrumental
music, 1861 readings, 2S4 essays, 23e
original papers. 221 addresses, q
dramas, rs farces, SO tableaux, 671
questions were discussed by 3,377
speakers, consuming in the aggregate
20 1-3 days of 10 hours each. The at
tendance during these programmes
was 34,535.
The executive committee Of the New
Hampshire state grange has perfected
arrangements as far as possible for an
excursion to New Jersey at the time Of
the meeting of the national grange in
November The New Jersey state
grange is cooperating, and low rates
and good accommodations are as
sured.

It's Refining Influence ON the Home

1t has been my good fortune, says a
writer in the Tribune Farmer, to visit
hundreds of farms In Michigan and
other states during the last few years,
sometimes in an official capacity.

Michigan is great grange state. hav-
ing membership of nearly $4,000 in
over TOO subordinate oranges. Some OF
the most prominent men in the state
who occupy the highest official posi-
tons are, and have been for years,
members of the grange. Such men as
Ex-Governor Cyrus G. Luce, j. ]. Wood
man, George B. Horton and numerous
others have a national reputation in
grange official life. These men have
been practical farmers and made a
complete success of their vocation, and
they freely state that the grange has
been a great help to them in many
ways.
In visiting farm home l could in a
few hours time, invariably determine
the dominating influences that OBJ
tanned for the betterment of the va
rious individuals in that family. The
papers, books. pictures, manners, and
even the general use of the English
vocabulary revealed much to the Wis
itor The farmer might be poor, the
house plainly and even scantily fur
nished, but plenty of good literature,
denoting the reading habit, with GER
tain congenial atmosphere, always
made me feel inquisitiye to know more
about the folks at home''
/ have been surprised to find in SO
many cases that the grange was large
" responsible for the good influences
which so thoroughly permeated such a
farmers family, and in every case
the various members of such family
were free to praise the good work the
grange had done in their home.
In those communities wherein the
grange and farmers clubs have a
strong membership one finds the ideal

Trouble With Lilac Bush.

Replying to a query in regard to a
parasite on the wood of the lilac. S. B.
Green says in Farm and Fireside: The
parasite is what is commonly known as
the oyster shell bark louise. 1t is not
nearly so injurious as the common San
Juan scale, but it has been known in
this country for many years, and is
occasionally quite destructive. The best
treatment for it is to spray the infested
shrubs and trees in autumn or winter
with whitewash so as to thoroughly
cover all infested parts. When the
whitewash scales off in the spring Of
the year. the scales come with it. This
should not be applied in the summer,
but only after the leaves have fallen

Green Bone For Hens.

Professor Watson Of the Pennsylya-
MIA State college says: '.Poultrymen
find it to their advantage to initiate the
natural food of fowls and to furnish
some meat food. Fowls that are given
a wide range feed largely on insects
and earthworms, but when they are
confined it will be best to feed meat
in some form Fresh bone, if finely
cut with bone cutters, makes one of
the best. if not the best, of meat foods
for laying hens. 1t is also excellent
for little chickens. Care should, how
ever, be taken not to let the bone be-
come tainted"

THE SUMNER CHICK.
Fist Methods to Pursue In Feeding
and Care of Late Matches.


Fist Methods to Pursue In Feeding
and Care of Late Matches.
The great thing to keep in mind when
caring for late chicks is that feeding
must not be carried out to the extent
Of being almost a examining process,
as the inevitable result will be to feed
them off their feet, and therefore it
really becomes the paramount issue in
the raising of these late Matched chicks
to see how fast we can grow them
without feeding them off their feet
which means without injuring their di-
gestion and therefore we prefer to
keep on the side of safety and not try
to force them too fast, which would
mean failure in the accomplishment of
our object-maturing them before real
/ winter sets in, writes a correspondent
of American Poultry Journal.
Food rich in frame building material
Is therefore of first consideration, as
the least approach to fattening will
hinder bone construction, so necessary
at this period; so we must so balance
our ration that the frame and flesh
growth will keep in the right relation
to one another. The first food is of
much more Importance than Is gener
ally realized, and especially so by the
beginner in the business.
A mistake in the composition of the
| first food may make so much trouble
that it will hinder cur prospects of
making the chick take hold of life and
begin growth as it ought to begin.
| Thousands of chicks are killed every
| year by making this mistake. and espe
cially so by causing looseness Of the
bowels by the feeding of a sloppy
mess that in some cases was called
moist when it was nothing of the
kind
Feed the little chicks all they will
eat up clean every two hours, and be
sure that the first meal is given at day
light and the last at night as late as
it can be given them, even If a lantern
is necessary to do it with, as this is of

| AS to the feed used, wheat bread
soaked in milk and squeezed dry and
fed crumbed for the first few days
has always given us the best results.
After the first few days we supple
mented this with fine grain mixtures
and are particularly careful to see that
at least one-third of this mixture con
sists of hulled oats cracked fine.
The first feed should be made out Of
this grain mixture, and also the last

Green bone finely cut and fed spar
ingly, SO as not to induce looseness of
the bowels, is also an excellent frame
builder.
| See to it that cold fresh water and
green succulent food are supplied in
abundance from the very start.
And if water is given from the very
start the little chicks will not over
drink and cause trouble.

Age of breeding stock.

The question of when male bird has

Ponds altogether upon the bird, says
American Poultry Journal. We have
known male birds to be strong and Wig
orous in their fifth year; others that
were Of no use the second year. Cues
lions of this character must be decided
by the breeder A hen, if she is a good
specimen, is never too old to be used
as a breeder. providing she is healthy
and vigorous. If the object is egg pro-
duction the females should not be kept
longer than three years. Statistics
prove that hens lay more eggs during
the first two years than after that pc
Rod, and the old hens should be dis
posed of in whatever way will be the
most profitable, either for breeders or
fattened and sold to market. Male
birds should not be allowed to run
with hens after the breeding season is
over.

seem likely to be exterminated by
picking, as this is done chiefly in late
summer or fall or when the plant
ceases growth, care being taken to
avoid injuring the plant itself. The

bronze. In densely shaded places they
remain green, however. The price in
New York is from rs cents to 81 per
