DoN'Ts.

Don't quote Scripture to the man
who swindles you. It's casting pearls
before swine.
Don't feed your chickens rot and ex-
pect them to be at to eat and lay pure
eggs. It's rotten.
Don't carry chickens by the legs
It's barbarous business. Ducks are
carried by the neck. Rubber!
Don't sell salt, lime, glass or storage
eggs for fresh stock It's a mighty
sneaky fox that never gets caught.
Don't let your wife get the reputa-
lion of having all the chicken knowl-
edge on the place. 1t shows you're
lazy.
Don't pretend that you have good
stock to make sale. Chickens of
that breed always come home to
scratch
Don't get crazy II your neighbors
hen dies over the fence, especially
when your "yaller" dog tracks all the
porches In town. Hiss!
Don't get chicken crazy and mort
gage your house to buy incubators
When the sheriff comes In at the door
chicken fever files out at the window.
Don't get the chicken fever simply
because the other fellow won a silver
cup. Not every honest fellow gets a
silver cup. and all is not silver that
shines.
Don't get the blues If eggs drop in
price. The farmers pullets are max
Ing their debut. But, If a manager,
you are getting more eggs now than
ever, and the quantity makes up for
lower price.

THAT BRASS ROOSTER.

| Not the one ON the weather vane, but
the yellow quilted fellow that will soon
have a brszen hackle and saddle feath
srs, and you do wish him to keep
white a. snow.
Can't blame you, for white birds are
the fad-not simply because they look
pretty on q green lawn, lay eggs and
taste for more, but our good cooks
don't like dressed chickens that look
like yellow cushions stuck full Of
mourning pins.
Yes, you are anxious to keep your
Rocks, Dottes and Leghorns snowy
stay-white.
You don't want your chicken house
to look like junk shop full Of two
legged brass kettles. Well, brassiness
Ii simply a matter Of too much fat.
The large breeds especially will put
on fat II you feed them that way, and
that way is generally yellow corn, and
yellow corn Is the main cause of brassi-
ness.
chicken owner growls out: The
greedy things won't lay. can't make
them lay, and they eat like hogs"
Yes, there's hog corn" scattered ev-
erywhere, and his White Rocks are fat
40 hogs and yellow as butter,
You'd think his hens would lay corn
mullins. The trouble with many peo-
pie 10 they feed fattening ration in
ste"d Of one for eggs. They feed all
carbohydrates and no proteids. It's
corn, corn, corn--fat and brass. Their
hens are great for the cook pot, but nit
for nest.
Are you the fellow that weigns his
chickens every week and shouts the
extra ounce across to your next neigh
Dor, who gathers lots Of eggs? W~fl,
the difference is just here-.you raise
hen fat at IL cents a pound, and he
produces eggs at &c to 90 cents dozen.
He uses less feed, his hens are white
sr1 healthy. and he has good egg
profit.
Your corn bill makes you poor. Your
chickens are laying on fat for apo
pleIy, and your lazy hens and roostsrs
look like a patch Of goldenrod
Now, II you're not mad. listen longer
Don't feed more than 20 per cent
corn-white corn for white birds. and
not too much Of that.
II you have fed creaminess or brass
into the plumage. feed II out, using no
corn for a month.
Cook pot panacea cures confirmed
brassiness.
II your hens are very fat, starve them
down and make them scratch for every
grain In deep litter.
Feed little corn at the time when old
hens mott and blood Is in the quilts
Of young chickens.
Too much heat may affect the health
Of chicks so their feathers will not
come perfect, but we do not believe
sunshine makes brassiness.
When we have to pass parasols round
to the Biddles and decorate our long
tailed ROSTERS with sunbonnets to keep
on freckles we will adjourn sine die.

I'll let you have the cue.
He's cackling bout the hen that lays
And Growing somewhat too.
Hes going to buy hatch machine
And send for high priced eggs.
Hes building coops and brooder things,
Most running of his legs.
But that's the way tbs every year,
And when the seasons done:
There'll be the same old chickens here
Al when the year begun.

He's not out guzzling beer.
