Poorly Fed Hens.

Occasionally flock that is so small
that it is fed mostly from the table
scraps is really under-fed We have
seen people boil small potatoes for
their hens and add these daily to
the potato parings and other table
scraps If salt was added in a small
amount the fowls ate them well, but
such a flock is always underfed. Be
cause the fowls have their crops full
is not proof that they have the sub.
stantial things out of which to manu-
facture eggs. There is such a thing
as OVERRIDING a good thing and this is
one of the cases. The potatoes and
such stuff are made up almost wholly
OF starchy matter and do not give the
material out of which to make albu-
men, whose base must be nitrogen. 1t
Is possible to make hen think she
Is being well fed when she is not.

HATCHABlLITY OF EGGS.
Observation Shows That There Is
Great Difference in Eggs.

Each bird has it's own individuality
BY that / mean that there are certain
birds which lay eggs that are nearly
always hatchable. With one hen we
found that she was a good layer u
hen that laid fertile eggs, but the eggs
were not hatchable under hens or in
incubators. One popularity of these
eggs was that the chick would develop
only to about the eighteenth day, or
we always found a fully formed dead
chick in the shell. We call that fer
tile egg, but it is an unhatchable egg.
We have also found other hens that
will lay equally as many eggs that
are nearly all hatchable under natural
conditions, but they are not as hatch
able under artificial conditions There
are few hens, and ! am sorry to
state that they are in the minority
whose eggs are hatchable under al
most any condition. In other words,
these hens in the latter class seem to
have so much vitality and their eggs
are so strongly fertiliZed that they
will stand abuse in the way of tenn
perature and other conditions that are
present in some methods of incuba-
tion, and yet will hatch a chicken that
is fairly thrifty-W. II. Graham, On
tario.

The Coop.

shortest time possible. A good way Is
to confine in coops like the one shown
in cut. The open part may be made
of lath or wire netting. Keep pen dark
except when fowls are eating. Throw
thick covering, old carpet or quilts,
over exposed part and tho pen will be
so dark that birds will move about
very little between meals. In tho
morning if fed boiled potatoes, crushed
while hot and thickcned with corn
meal, and little salt and pepper for
seasoning. chickens will fatten very
fast They should be fed three times
day, and their bill-offare varied as
much as possible. Pumpkins or
squash may take place of boiled pota-
toes occasionally. Fresh bedding
should be supplied frequently, and the
coop and spot it occupies kept clean.

BRAIN POWER

A lady writer who not only has done
good literary work, but reared a

food for brain work and to develop
healthy children. She writes:-

and for 8 years while nursing my four
children, had insufficient nourishment
for them.

eat cold chops. sausage, cookies, dough-
nuts or anything l happened to find.
Being writer, at times my head felt
heavy and my brain asleep
when / read of Grape-Nuts / began
eating it every morning, also gave it
to the children, including, my 10
months old baby, who soon grew as
fat as a little pig, good natured and
contented.
