POULTRY NOTES.

Sunflower seed makes good poultry
food. Raise some this season.
Thoroughly cleanse and whitewash
the poultry house this month.
The time spent in learning how to
prevent poultry diseases will save
twice the time needed to effect cure.
Beekeeping gives open-air exercise,
brings one into contact with the beau
ties of nature, and is an interesting,
fascinating study.
If the reader is not able to own a
green bone cutter, he can take sharp
Ratchet and cut up the green bones
into particles, which the birds can eat.
Do not put more than so chicks in
| one flock in any brooder, no matter
how much room the machine may pro-
vide. Fifty is as many as will do we'll
together.
hogs. 1t is valuable food for eggs
and growth and may be used to mix
the mash or may be given to drink in
addition to water.
Lice breed faster as warm weather
comes on. To combat them paint the
roost and roost supports frequently
with some of the best liquid lice kill
ers, or with kerosene.
The difference in the consumption
of honey, when wintering in the cell
lar compared with wintering out-of-
doors, is only from the fact that the
temperature is more uniform, and
therefore the bees keep more quiet
Overlooking and undertaking
should both be guarded against by the
beginner in poultry raising. Overfeed-
ing is certain death, while underfeed-
ing is death to development and
growth. Both are Improbable and
should be avoided

VALUE OF A GOOD COOP.
Day When the Old Barrel Can Be
Used With Profit Is Past.

In years gone by farmer turned a
decrepit barrel on it's side and drove
vertical stakes down in front of it to
serve as coop for the hen and brood.
Ii he thought to bore several holes in
that part of the barrel nearest the
ground so that the water could drain
out, he prevented the possibility of a
heavy rain flooding the quarters and
drowning the chicks.
In later years the up-to-date farmer
has adopted more modern and more
practical quarters for the little chicks
and the broody hen. Sometimes the
adoption Of a good coop means the
successful rearing of strong, healthy
youngsters instead of stunted birds
which can never be more than culls.
The brood coop of the present day
protects the brood from wind in cold
weather, from driving rains in all sea-
sons and is also capable of admitting
goodly supply of pure afr. 1t is also
so constructed that it may be easily
cleaned. Most of them have fronts of
vertical Stats and if they are equipped
with tight floors these floors should be
made removable in order that the
floors may be easily cleaned. If the
floors, however, are not nailed to the
coops, the latter may be lifted off and
the floors cleaned readily. Again if
no floors are used but the coops are
allowed to sit directly on well-drained
ground, cleaning the coop is simply a
matter of moving it to fresh location
every morning.
The interior of coop should all
ways be dry, says The Farmer, and it
is advisable therefore to cover the
roof and sides with some sort of wat
erproof material; for example, some
of the prepared roofngs or tar paper.
To prevent the entrance of animals
that would kill the chickens stout
frame covered with fine mesh wire
netting may be made to be placed in
front of the coop at night so that pro-
lection may be afforded without cut
ting off the supply of air.
An ordinary packing box with each
of it's dimensions about two feet may
be made into satisfactory coop by
covering it with roofing fabric and
providing it with Stat front, etc.

Chased By A Bull

Thursday evening, l sat down to
the supper table and gorged myself
on strawberry short cake after which
| went to bed, and-Great Heavens
wish could tell you what saw in
my d Guns. One would think that
my dl cams would be of straw berries
and cream but l can assure you that
there were no relations between my
dreams and straw berries. Near
morning as groaned and shifted my
pesilion, | saw big black bull with
scorpion like head and bull snake
for tail making furious charge at
the bed. l leaped out of bed, run
out in the kitchen, grabbed up the
kindling board, and was standing
undecided whether to hit the mon
ster on the head or tail when my
wife woke me by yelling, "What in
the world is the matter?" | looked
quite sheepish for moment then my
wits came to my rescue and l coolly
said, sob, just thought I'd get up a
little early, and proceeded to whittle
some shavinAss and make the fire. Say,
l would rather have the delirium
tremens than short cake dream.
In this life we're chased
By the Devil and Death
Till cold and palefaced,
We lie gasping tor breath.
At last we surrender
To these awful terms:-
"The soul to the Devil
Its house to the worms"
We show no more sense
While trying to escape
These horrid pursuers
Than an African ape.
