POULTRY NOTES.

Clean the droppings from under the
roosts frequently.
Buckwheat is excellent for both
young and old poultry.
A laying hen should have constant
access to lime or gravel.
Grit IL the hens teeth. Provide her
with plenty Of 1t. so that she may de-
gest her food.
II you expect the hen to lay freely,
you must feed her the kind Of stun
that will make eggs.
Feed only what the hens will eat up
clean. Any kind of feed left from one
day to another is apt to start disease.
Watching the incubator carefully is
the way to get the best hatch. A lit.
tie carelessness is sure to produce dis
astrous results.

than they are worth. II you do not
care to sell any Of your birds then
start into the chicken business on the
colony plan. Divide your flock into
colonies Of about 40 fowls each and
build houses for them in different
parts Of the farm. For instance. II you
have one hsnhouse ON the east side Of
the barn put another house on the
west side. Thsn II you have enough
birds put another house down by the
calf lot and another to the farther end
Of the barn yard. A dozen different
places will suggest themselves II you

prise and please you. Your hens will
be healthier. will lay better and will
require less feed. The reason for this
will be easily seen when you have
once tried 1t. Chickens, or anything
else for that matter, cannot stand
crowding. Also the colony plan gives
the fowls wider range and encourages

A commodious box or large heap
of fine road dust should be kept in
easy reach of the fowls at all times.
This will greatly aid in keeping them
free from lice and vermin Of all
kinds, and helps the plumage to re-
tain its natural brilliancy.
During the warm season a good
supply Of this dust should be gathered
and stored In boxes and barrels for
use in the winter. It will be appre-
ciated by the fowls, and will be
found to benefit them In about the
same degree as In the summer time.

The married woman is a negligible guam

hands and her mind are occupied with work.
For that reason it is essential that women

The married woman has always been re-
garded as a negligible quantity. The law
said that the husband and wife were one,
but there never was any question about who
was the one. The position of the unmarried
woman was slightly different. If she was
over 81 years of age she might collect her
