THOROUGHNEss in DETAIL.
Don't HaSch More Chickens Than You
Can Well Care For.

Success in the poultry business de-
pends largely on the thOrOughness in
all its details. 1t has been truly said
that whatever is worth doing at all is
worth doing we'll, therefore, we should
bear this in mind at the beginning Of
the Matching season. and not hatch
more chicks than we can properly care,
for. \ small flock of poultry we'll
taken care of is more satisfactory and
more profitable than very large flock
OF ScraWny. lousy fowls which are m
mt tor home use and are always a drug
on the market.
1t is better TO have flock of so hens
we'll taken care of than to have flock
OF 500 raised in a haphazard sort of
way. The ponltryman who devotes
MS time exclusively to the business
can be more thorough than the farmer
who raises poultry merely as a side
line. The farmers wives, as a rule
are overtaNed with work and feel they
cannot give their poultry the attention
il should have. The wise thing to DO
under these circumstances is to bear
IN mind that quality will pay better
than quantity and refrain from hatch
ing more than one can properly take
care Of
1t is quite amusing during the spring,
and summer months to hear the re-
! ports of the housewives in neighbour
hood of chickens each has hatched.
We would like to hear from them
again in the fall: it is the number we
raise that counts. provided the quality
! IS right. We cannot raise poultry like
weeds; if we did they would be like
weeds-worthless Who could relish
a tough scrawnv, lousy fowl. which
had been starved all its life. and tor
tured with lice: Does ii pay TO raise
such fowlso
Why not be consistent about these
things. urges Farmers Advocate, and
remember that fowls should have clean
! places to roost clean food. and fresh
F.! water, clean drinking vessels, and
clean troughs or pans for their feed.
! The bill of fare should be changed
often; they should have access to
fresh dirt. Grit should always be be
fore them. Lime and disinfectan,S
should be freely used to keep down
s"'ulS. Success cannot be obtained in
any business without effort and the
| poultry business is no exception to the
! rule. Persistent efforts and thorough
| ness in all the details are what count
and will bring results that can be oO-
ldined in no utht.,. WAY

CHICKEN NOTES,

The ducks ought to have some ami
NAL food Or they will not lay fertile
eggs.
\ variety Of food will help to keep
the hens healthy and will also be good
for the egg production.
TO select good layers begin by elm
mating the lazy hens. \ lazy hen has
no place in flock of breeding birds
The kitchen scraps will be quite arr
item toward the feed Of small flock
of hens and they Will give better re-
turns for them than the pigs will
In ordering eggs from advertisers or
in filing mail orders great care shoult,
be used TO avoid mistakes. Be sure
you are right and then go ahead.
The cost Of keeping a hen on The
farm is less than so cents year. An
average hen will lay ten dozen eggs a.
year. Good layers will lay many more.
In dressing ducks for market, it is
sometimes impossible to pick all Of the

all over the duck. 1t viii! look much

The pulling out here and there of an
Objectionable feather may never be-
discovered in the show room, but they
will make their influence felt in future

Movable Poultry Houses.

Movable poultry houses are coming
into use on many farms, especially on.
those farms where many hundreds of
fowls are kept Some of these poul-
try houses are supported on skids>
long runners on which the houses can
be dragged about wherever desired.
Generally the houses are pulled over
grass ground, and over grass the run
ners slip easily. The skids are made
of long pieces Of planks planed smooth
on the underside and slightly hewed
al the front end so as to give an up-
turn. Two Of these are connected firm
ly by means of cross pieces, so that a
horse can be hitched to the front part
and the whole establishment moved to
any part OF the farm. This makes it
easy to move the horse every week
Or so, and thus give the fowls fresh
grass.

Geese as LAYERS.

Age has no effect whatever upon the
laying or paying quality of geese.
The rule is that geese increase in pro-
Efficacy with years. They lay as many
eggs 20 years old as they did when
only two or three years old and the
fertility of the same is better. OF
course, proper keeping and feeding
must have been practiced at all Zines.
Fat geese are ncn-producers A sole
grain ration is detrimental TO good re-
suits. \ grass-run and liberty and a
little oats at night during the winter
season are best.

the objection was that prying hives

hives, frames and anything else apart;
also for opening boxes or taking off
covers or bottoms that have been
nailed on. 1t is sharp, and can be
used for cutting at any time, the
same edge being used for scraping
frames, etc. 1t is also the handiest
small tool for cutting away weeds in

of Percival friends were never able to

Percival had presented the old man.
