Millet for Poultry Feed.

In my experience millet seed is one
Of the best things we can give our
poultry for a grain feed. I think 1t Is
especially good to put finish on birds
being fitted for show. as 1t contains a
good deal Of oil. 1t is also not so rich
in starch as is corn and has in 1t
more nitrogen. Young chicks find 1t
more to their liking than corn. as the
grains are smaller. The old hens can
not fill up on this grain as quickly as
they can on corn. and then go and sit
down in the shade and wait for an
other feed. II fed in char the fowls
will have to exercise a great deal to
get square meal. A quart OF millet
seed to Is full grown fowls is enough
for days feed.-Nellie Dawson in

Early Maturity Of Fowls.

We have fowls that mature at
very early age; yet. when we con-
slider what has been done IN other
lines of live stock as to early matur-
ing we see that there are great possi-
bilities in the matter OF early matu,,
ing of fowls. Consider the pig Oh oo
years ago, which matured In 10
months and the pig Of to-day, ~hicn
natures in 9 months; or consider tne
steer that used to mature In three
and q half years and now natures IN
twenty months. 1t will be seen tnat
we have not done as we'll with our
fowls, though we have improved the
early maturing quality. Yet In their
natural state the common fowls ma
ture at six or seven months OF age.
We have brought them to the point
where they mature in five months.
We should be able to reduce the time
of maturing to three months. That
is, a hen of the Plymouth Rock or
Leghorn breeds should be matured
enough to lay eggs at three months
of age, and without doubt that end
will be attained when we get the
breeding of fowls down to the indi-
vidual proposition. Up to the present
we have done our breeding mainly by
fiocks. thus being able to only partly
follow our own breeding operations
and to determine results. l expect
to live to see breeds of hens that be-
gin laying eggs at three months OF
age. Results may be obtained more
quickly in the breeding of fowls than
in the breeding of any other class OF
live stock. John Brand.

Mites.

We speak of the little red
mites. but that is the color worn by
the mite only after 1t has feasted on
the blood Of the fowl. The natural
color of the mite is gray. Mites are
exceedingly voracious and are able to
extract very large amount of blood
from fowl during single night.
Thousands OF these mites may cover
single hen and the aggregate amount
of blood taken is SO large that the
fowls frequently die from loss of
blood. This is especially the case
with setting hens. Often sitting
hens when nightly attacked by these
vampires forsake their nests and take
to the roosts for protection. At this
time of year relentless warfare should
be waged against them.
