How to Learn to Feed in the
Natural Way.

Natural Way.
feed themselves are seldom sick
Therefore it is desirable to approach
as near to the natural method of feed
ing as possible. Farm Poultry pub
fishes a long article on the subject
which is full of information:
To acquire skill in feeding fowls
one must practice feeding, closely
observe results, and use his judgment
Suppose 1 tell boy that to project
a ball through the air for a given
distance a certain amount of energy
must be applied, and applied in such
ia way that the ball, moving with the
velocity given it, must describe a GER
tain arc as it moves through the air.
A scientist who perhaps could not
throw a ball within two rods of the
spot he desired it to reach might have
figured out all about energy, velocity,
etc, applying it to the movement of the
ball; but what good would it do to
tell all this to the boy? And what
boy in his senses would think of going
out to play ball, and, as he prepared
for the first throw, stopping to say
to himself, Il must put into this throw
just so much strength, and the ball
must leave my hand at just such
an elevation?" No, the boy takes the
ball and throws it at the point he
wishes it to reach. The accuracy of
his aim depends mostly on his pre-
viOus experience and skill in that line.
If he misses, he tries again, and with
out being conscious of its efforts, his
mind too works all the time, COM
pairing each throw with others, and
estimating differences and gradually
bringing the muscles under control
so that before long the boy is sending
the ball to the mark every time, and
he may acquire marvellous control
of the ball, not only in accurate throw
ing and in speed, but throwing it so
that it's path shall be eccentric, or its
speed changed in seeming defiance of
natures laws as it flies through the
air. And all this he does without
either knowledge or caring anything
about the scientific expressions of the
various features of his performance.
There is practically no limit to the
number of illustrations that might be
made on this point. Every line of work
and every sport abounds in them.
When men work with machines,
Or with problems in which all neces-
sary qualities and conditions are
known, they may be guided more by
set laws and rules, but even in such
| cases experience and trained judg-
ment and skill are essential to superior
work. In handling live stock, it is
impossible to follow arbitrary rules
and get the results the rules anticipate
with the uniformity that would justi-
fly such use of rules. The poultry
feeder has to learn by experiment
and observation how much to feed
and when and how to vary his ratiOns.

About Those Unwelcome Tenants.

look out for these tenants all the year
round.
A correspondent of Poultry writes
an amusing account of her experience,
but with all the humor there is much
of truth that brings up personal trials
of every poultry keeper:
The immortal David Harum assures
us that few f1eas are good for
dog and l readily agree with him,
particularly as regards the few and
the fewer the better. Just so with
hen mites and lice few may be Dene-
fetal but the conscientious breeder
need not lie awake nights worrying
for fear his poultry will be neglected
in this respect. The thing to worry
about will be how to keep them few
enough.
When we first became interested in
the creatures that wear feathers
their own-we believed and approved
those people who gravely told us
they had never had a louise or a mite
on their premises but alas, if simple
faith is more than Norman BLOOD as
the poet tells us our score card has
deprecated sadly with time and
full knowledge. Our faith has vanish
ed and when anyone tells us the like
now, we, know that they are not will
fully deceiving us, but trying to.
Vermin is just as natural to chickens
as graft to corporations.
Very early in my housekeeping l
had an experience with those pernic-
ious little tenants which pay no lOdg-
ing and heed no writs of ejectment
from any court, and L appealed to an
old French woman for advice in the
matter. The following dialogue fol-
lowed:
"You can read" EYES,"
More as Englees?' No"
dat is YER bad. You shall read
ever ting you find about de bOOg. You
shall ask everybody you know and
you shall do all what you read and all
what somebody tell you and shall do
dem all ever day for seek months and
then you have no more bOOg till next
year,
1t was not very encouraging but it
is about the plan of procedure to be
followed by any one who wishes to be
free from Objectionable company.
Whitewash and plenty of it is about
as necessary as the desire to get rid
of all the vermin. Whitewash, plain
and unadOrned is good, but trimmed
with the rich and unmistakable per-
fume of carbolic acid is better. This
is one time and place when liberal
use of odor is not vulgar.
But one cannot wander all the time
with whitewash pail in hand and
every sparrow that alights in your
yard brings a fresh supply of imml-
grants, so daily or at most, weekly
methods of determination must De
pursued.
Twice in a season is plenty often
enough for the whitewaShing if in
the intervals of whitewashing you go
over the brood coOps, perches and
dropping boards thoroughly, particu-
larly Oh the underside and in all crew
vices with kerosene, either with or
without the addition of carbOlic acid.
l have found large machine oil can
to be as good or better than any spray
er. There are plenty of good liquid
lice killers but kerosene has the ad-
vantage of being always on hand,
whereas the patent dOpeS are apt to
be forgotten from time to time.
If the mites are too bad, it is a very
good plan to burn the oil off with a
long handled torch, but first provide
yourself with couple of pals of
water and large dipper lest you dem

hands were rough and fingers stiff
from labor in the fields, but their
