To Cure Scaly Leg.

Scaly leg is a filth disease, II it can
be called disease, it being caused by
tiny mite which burrows under the
scales Of the legs and toes. 1t lives
and breeds there. The remedy Is very
simple and easy. 1t Is only necessary
to grease the legs with any kind of
grease. An ointment of third kero-
sene oil and two-thirds lard Is easily
applied, and If well rubbed on and IN
half dozen times couple Of days
apart should kill the mites, and the
scales will come Off Don't pull of the
scales that have become large. That
will hurt the birds, something as pull
ing off your finger nails would hurt
you.

Poultry ON the Farm.

1t has often been stated that ideal
conditions for poultry raising exist on
the farm. and yet there is no other
class of stock so neglected by the av-
erage farmer.
All the other stock is provided with
comfortable quarters, which are kept
clean and free from vermin, while the
henhouse Is well supplied with cracks,
broken windows and lice and has not
been cleaned for two years. Ask any
of these men why they don't keep
more hens, and you will be told that
they don't pay, that they only keep
few to supply eggs for home use
and have. to buy eggs in the winter
Now, how can these objections be re-
moved and poultry be made to pay on
the farm?
First. - BY replacing the mongreI
birds with thoroughbred stock. This
can be done at small expense by pur-
chasing eggs and using the scrub hens
as incubators.
Second. - By providing comfortable
houses for the birds. This does not
necessarily mean expensive houses.
Buildings good enough for all practical
purposes can be built Of one inch lum-
Der, pine or hemlock, new or old, with
inside surfaced so that they can be
readily whitewashed and outside Gov
cred with building paper with battens
over cracks.
Thirdly keeping the interior of
the poultry house in clean and sani-
tary condition.

Soft shelled Eggs.

Farm Poultry has some good sugges-
tons in a recent issue about eggs. In
regard to soft shells it says the hens
get either insufficient shell forming ma
terial or the egg organs are deranged.
We incline to the latter opinion. In
one case we know positively some hens
do not lay at all. Careful watch Of a
doubtful hen some years ago proved 1t.
When killed she showed some incipient
eggs. but otherwise was mass of fat
The only noticeable thing about her
was her alternate excitement and slug
gishness and deep posterior

cold storage, and when they are solo
they should be sold for exactly what

willing to buy and eat such preserved
eggs, but ii is the usual experience
that most people would rather pay
twice the price for reliably fresh egs
than they will pay for preserved
eggs.

SQUAD RAISING.
Facts Concerning u Valuable ~saae
Line" to Poultry Rearing.

secss Somcermfmg y Valuable sSAAe
Line" to Poultry Rearing.
In answer to n correspondent the
Teatner gives the following excellent
advice about the raising of SQUADS
for market:
To produce fifty pairs Of SQUADS per
week for fifty weeks in the year would
be absolutely impossible unless heat
ed breeding house was used for win
ter and specimens introduced therein
which had not produced during the
summer months. The average product
OF good working pair Of SQUAD breed
ers would be six pairs within the year.
Fifty squads per week would mean
1900 in the year. Divide this by 9,
and you will see that you must have
400 pairs of breeders. Four hundred
pair Of breeders producing six pairs
each per year would provide a suffi-
Gent number, If they did this well. To
average UP the product so as to have
an equal number every week in the
year one must mate up a fresh lot of
hens about the LIST Of October and
keep these pairs In a coop, which
might be heated, where they would
produce during the winter months the
same as In summer
To gradually grow to such produc-
ton one should build SQUAD lofts with
view to enlargement. Start with
few pairs, sufficient to provide the
present demand and work them along
this plan for winter and summer pro-
duction. Two years experience will
prove valuable. AS we gather from
your letter that you hope to need
twenty-five pairs week the third
year, by that time you will be in a
position to know just how to handle
your breeders to produce at will. Do
not attempt to grasp the whole propo-
sition at once. Gradually build your
business to meet the demand. In no
other way can you hope to succeed
with such proposition
There are many statements, pro and
con, as to the possibility of becoming
wealthy by growing squads. No one
need ever hope to amass even a small
fortune in this way. SQUAD culture
like bee culture. poultry culture and
the growing Of pet stock, is business
that comes within the possibilities of
people of modest means and sufficient
ability and determination to work for
themselves rather than to labor for
others.

Perfect Features.

In perfect face every feature should
bear certain proportion to every
other feature. The width of the face
should be equal to five eyes. The dis
lance between the eyes should be ex-
actly equal to one eye. Another i'm
portant relation is that between the
eyes ana the mouth. The width of the
eyes should be equal to two-thirds that
of the mouth. The nose should be
equal in length to the height Of the
forehead, of regular shape and pre-
cisely defined outline.
