Corn for Poultry Food.

a correspondent of the Florida Poul-
try journal does not like corn for
chicken feed. Personally we are of
the same opinion. We do not use it
at all. Within the past years we did
buy one sack of cracked corn but we're
not satisfied with it's use and have
not bought any more. Up to the last
two seasons we have always used corn
products, meal Or grits for small
chicks. Years ago, we used raw meal
but one year we lost more than eighty
per cent of all the chickens that we
matched. We wrote an account of our
trouble to an expert poultryman, and
his reply was that it was owing to
our having fed raw meal. Since that
time we have not fed any more of it.
We then began to use cooked grits.
and have kept it up until the season
OF 1905, when we began feeding raw
wheat, cracked at first for very small
chicks, and later the whole grain.
The result has been very satisfactory.

be fed to hens or chickens in this

There are too many people who think
a dollar big sum for any chicken. II
those same people take up the bust
ness of selling breeding stock it won't
take them long to see that they cam
not afford to sell their stock at dol
lar each. Live and let live, is a good
motto, and a breeder should describe
his stock to a prospective buyer, just
as they are; describe the faults as we'll
as the good points. Too many tell all
the good and never mention the bad,
and send just as good stock as they
describe. I would rather have a
pleased customer any time than one
not pleased. A pleased customer is
good advertisement. / will go out
of my way to please a person if I
lose in the bargain. Right is right,
and there is no other way around it.
Of course there are people we can't
please. Do the best we can with such
people and ignore them when they
can't be pleased There is always
two sides to a question, and when we
know that we are doing right ON our
side we can feel justified even if we do
