Poultry PickiuQs.

Try feeding little chicks a dry ration
Of cracked grain, seeds, etc. It is bet
ter than Johnny cake, corn dough or
mashes.
Place a selffeeding box Of grain In
the coop so the chicks can eat what
they want. There is little danger Of
over-feeding growing stock on free
range.
small feed of fresh-cut bone once a
day, or box Of beef scraps and granu-
lated bone is placed in the henhouse,
they will produce more eggs.
Keep the brooders and colony houses
clean and look out for red mites and
lice on the chicks. Incubator chicks
are Matched free from lice, but it does
not take long to contract them.
Set turkey hens this month and If
you have plenty Of eggs, fill the incu-
bator. Arrange so the hens and incu-
bator will hatch at the same time, then
you can give all the potts to the turkey
hen.
Keep the chicks growing. Too often
after chicks have left the brooder or
have been weaned by the hen they get
insufficient food to make the most rapid
growth. Especially is this true Of
chicks on free range.
Plant sunflowers outside the wire Of
the poultry yard and in and by waste
places. They will afford shade during
the summer and the hens will relish the
seed. If planted inside the yard they
must be protected until out of reach
OF the hens.

Vorces at the present time are alto

nearly SO many as the ministers of a
great many of our charches seem to

Law does not make marriages. The
church does not make marriages. The
men and women, If they are ever mar

recognize and conserve a fact which
already exists. But If there Is no
