POULTRY NOTES.

Pullets that are forced to lay early
seldom make good layers.
Good sized combs generally denote
an egglaying breed of hens.
Nest boxes should be so constructed
that hens can not roost on them.
In feeding meat and bone to poultry,
the fresher II is when given them the
better.
A good preventive of roup Is to scat
ter air-slacked lime around the poultry
house.
A scratching pen on the south side
of the poultry house will pay for itself
In time.
Chopped clover and sweet hay are
excellent substitutes for green food.
and the poultry will relish II.
Only mature birds should be used
for breeding purposes. The use OF
young fowls is risky and Improbable.
Millet seed Is not only a nourishing
food for hens. but II makes them
scratch. Every farmer should raise
some.

in general health, prospering and well
satisfied with the change. Not only Is
emigration from all Michigan pouring into
North Dakota, and in fact all the North
west. but every state in the list is doing
her share AT the present rate ofincrease
in population. North Dakota will double In
ten years. With such improvement in
progress, there can be no mistake in any
kind OF business or professional venture,
while real estate investment can not be
otherwise than first-class. In the west
ern half Of Mercer county, five years ago
raal estate values ranged from So SO to
SIS 90 per acre; at present the same lands
are selling at $40 to $l6 per acre. and
with the building of two railroads through
the county this year, which were surveyed
last season, prices will double over pres
ent values. The climate and rainfall OF
North Dakota have improved fifty per
cent in the past eight years, so says our
state department Of agriculture. Our
own experience is that North Dakota has
