THE POULTRY YARD.

Sunfower seed and millet are both
good for chickens, especially during
the moulting period.
The benefit derived from making
ones flock better is far greater than
the expense incurred.
Sickness among fowls is often
caused by the absence of sufficient
grit of grinding material.
Chickens seldom get sick without
a local cause. Find out what it is
and guard against it in the future.
In time of Matching, remember that
good food, pure water and freedom
from lice will insure fertile eggs.
Eggs from each pen of breeding
birds should be tested as early as
possible, and, if found lacking in fer
tility. new male should be secured.

Hen VS.. Incubator.

A poultry raiser says: | do not
believe that we can take the domestic
hen as the best example of incubation.
She has been domesticated for SO
many years that some varieties have
been educated away from the Matching
of their own eggs, and under the
forced methods in which hens are
kept it does not seem to me that the
habits of the hen can be followed en-
tirely as our best illustration of the
correct methods of incubation
have brought out larger matches I'M
der certain conditions of artificial in
cubation than | usually secure with
sitting hens.

sary in which to confine them at night.
Turkeys do best when away from
other poultry.
An open shed which will protect
them from the elements and maraud-
ers is all that is necessary, says Farm
and Home. The front may be made
of wire netting or inclosed part of the
way up and ventilator provided at
the top, as shown in the cut. This
should be left open at all times except
in zero weather. The roost should be
placed on a level we'll up from the
ground and in the front of the build
ing.
A sliding or rolling door should be
provided at the rear and left open dur
ing the day. Only enough light is
needed for the turkeys to see to get
on and off the roosts.

NEXT SEASONS STOCK.
Select Your Breeding Stock Carefully
Use Only Good Layers.

The pitfall into which many will
land will be starting with quantity,
rather than quality. Ten dollars in
vested in trio of well-bred birds
from an honest, reliable breeder will
be money well spent. From such
STOCK one can rear flock of birds
that will be delight to the eye, and
OF financial value in the market.
In buying birds we must remember
that the blood of parent stock will
show in the offspring, and that the
pest bargain we expect to obtain is
100 cents worth of value for every
oollar We spend. Remember, that
a few really good birds at the begin
ming will produce flock of good off
spring, but If you start with a flock
Of mongrels you can expect to breed
but mongrels.
Go slow in buying, urges The Farm.
er. Buy good stock and it will
prove cheapest in the end. Don't look
for, or expect, more than your
moneys worth, or you will be disap.
pointed. Pay fair price, and YOU
can expect to receive a fair value in
return. And remember, also, that
good thoroughbred stock will not
thrive and prove profitable when ac-
corded the care usually bestowed
upon ordinary scrub chickens.
II stock was not purchased, or their
purchase arranged for at fall fairs,
1t will be a good plan to attend, if
possible, some of the winter shows,
for it is there you will find the best
of the seasons hatch, and you will be
able to select the best of birds for
breeding purposes.
Many poultry breeder is now
confronted with the veXing problem
that of picking out the birds he wishes
to place in permanent winter quar-
tiers and use as breeding stock next
season. In every flock will be found
a number of small, understood pull
let's, whose size is the result of late
Matching, lack of proper care, dis
ease, or some other cause, and which
to the eye seem desirable to retain
in spite of their small size.
Inc retention of these birds, as a
rule, we have found to be a mistake,
and we now keep them no longer
than it takes to put them in good
condition for the market. We spare
none that are poorly sized, for the
chances are that they will lay no eggs
until we'll along toward spring, and
what they do produce are usually of
inferior size. And we have found
as could be expected-that if such
stock is kept over and their eggs
used for Matching, nothing but in.
ferior chicks are the result.
Good poultry can never be reached
by breeding from this sort of birds.
Weed them out closely, and over and
over again, SO as to make room for
those that will pay for their keep
and can be used as breeders with a
better prospect of getting good prog
eny, therefrOm. Like begets like, and
the better the breeding stock, tho bet
ter the chicks will be.

Indiscriminate FEEDING,

1t is very common custom on most
farms to feed all kinds and sizes of
poultry together in the winter time.
This indiscriminate feeding often has
a deleterious effect on the smaller and
weaker birds, which are the ones that
need the best and most Strengthening
food. Naturally the stronger, larger
fowls devour the best of the food and
leave the refuse for the others. 1t
is not only a good plan to separate
the old from the young when feeding,
but to make a distinction in the quail
ity of the food. especially if profit
is desired.
