Chickens in Southern California

as some people think they can live out
of doors here the year round. In truth,
a hen is far better off roosting in
tree or on a fence than in a poorly
ventilated house or in one made OF

cially in the rainy season, come in
through all sides. A good house, that

nivorous animal her peculiar nature
demands variety. Not only does she
demand a variety, but perfectly bal
anced ration, and just how to meet her
wants in this direction is where the
science comes in.
Fowls at different times need differ
ent foods. while varying breeds re-
qure different amounts. A hen in
good laying condition needs more food
than when not laying at all, SO we can
lay down no hard and fast rules for
feeding.
Do you realize that the egg that we
expect any and every hen to lay under
any circumstances is an almost perfect
food production? The egg contains in
concentrated form almost every food
requirement, besides being the embryo
of the chick. To accomplish all this
the hen must have a variety of food.
In localities where the birds can run
they find grass and herbage, all sorts,
of insect life and plenty of sharp grit.
But if the fowls are confined, they
must be supplied with the equivalents
of these foods. On the range they get
all the exercise they need in looking
for their food. In a small place they
must scratch for their food to get the
exercise So the food is thrown into
litter.
Corn and wheat are the staple foods,
with an occasional feed of barley. A
mash of bran is fed once a day. Many
poultry raisers feed the mash in the
morning, particularly during moulting
time. Many others feed the mash at
night for the re9son that soft food
is more readily d'gested than hard
grain. If a hen has a full crop of
cooked food at bed time s e can soon
use it up in egg making. She wakes
up hungry and is ready to begin
scratching as soon as she can see in
the morning, while the hen who goes
to roost with a crop full of hard grain
must wait until it is soaked up before
it can be ground and digested prepara-
tory to the making of egg, After the
hens are quiet for the night, scatter
grain in the litter in the scratching
room and over the runway and in the
morning you will see them scratching
as hard as they can for grain.
During moulting time. or for that
matter at any time, mix cocoanut meal
or corn meal or beef scraps with the
mash for variety. Linseed oil should
be put in few times a week during1

essary for the health of the fowls.
Poultry breeders differ as to space. but
three square feet of space to each
fow is sufficient in houses intended
for fifty or more laying hens. The
main thing is to not crowd them.
The walls of the building should be
tight Below the roosts should be ven
tilators on all sides, or the walls from
a foot and half below the roosts
could be made open. In either case
the air passes below the fowls. The
warm exhalation from the bodies or
the birds, at first rises and then as
this warm air cools. ii settles TO the
floor and is carried out with the same
current of air that also supplies the
fresh air. In this way they are never

2 The building should have a good roof
that will not leak. Face the house
toward the south, leaving large por-
ton of the front open. In this latitude
no glass is needed. ItEonly collects neat

canvas curtain is better. 1t is raised
during the day allowing the fspn to
shine on all roosts and droppings
boards, which is very essential, and at
night, If cool or wet the canvas cur
tain can be lowered. The door OF the
house should be at the corner.
Poultrymen differ as to board or
ground floor In California dirt floor
is sufficiently warm, and ii may be
covered to the depth of an inch or more
with clean sand, and a fine rake will
keep 1t clean. The sand will take up
moisture from the droppings during the
day, and what is more important, IL
makes an easier floor for the birds to
alight on when flying down from the

SCIENCE AND ART IN POULTRY
CULTURE

q NE of the definitions of science is,
knowledge duly arranged and re-
" ferred to general truths on which
1t is founded. Art is the application
of this knowledge. Consequently We
see that science and art are both i'm
portant factors in the success of any
business.
Nature has endowed the domestic
hen with certain characteristics pc
culiar to herself. Does it not follow
that If we would successfully cater to
these peculiarities it is necessary that
we obtain a thorough knowledge of the
same? e.
There are certain principles in the
care of poultry which must be learned
and followed in order to succeed. One
of the first principles is that of feed
ing. The hen may be termed an om-
Los Angeles herald., 1909-12-19
Water and Grit Necessary

In connection with food do not for
get the water and grit. Chickens al
ways require plenty of fresh water;
where milk can be had 1t pays to use
1t. Whether sweet or sour, let them
have all they will drink once day,
not oftener Milk. sour or sweet, is
good in the mash instead of water.
The grit should be of two kinds. A
cheap grit that is relished by tho
fowls is common gravel AS this does
not contain much lime they must have
a box of some kind of lime SHE'LL such
as oyster or clam. Charcoal, too, is
excellent to keep where they find it
handy. Then the hen needs the she'll
to assist her in digesting her food.
A hen who is fed nothing but corn
will refuse 1t if she has not the neces-
sary grit to digest it.
Everything should be done to keep
the food clean. Place soft food in
troughs or vessels that can be easily
washed and scatter the grain in a
litter of clean straw or shavings. To
sum up, keep everything clean, fur
nish an abundance of green food,
have charcoal, shell and grit before
them all the time and first and last.

mash at any time. 1t keeps the food
loose in the crop and provides the
coarseness necessary to keep the bow
els in good order. Cut the alfalfa, stem,
leaf and all, before mixing it in the
mash.
Beets, cabbage and other vegeta-
bles make a welcome chance for them

first year distinguished himself in the
field, | looked upon him as the most
promising officer in my command.
Maj. Hinton has spoken of the good
influence Of women on the lives OF
those In an army post, and agree
with him. There are, however, excep.
tions to every rule, and such was the
case In my story, for 1t was woman
who spoiled career which from the
start promised so much.
1T was the third summer after
Lieut.. Dorsey had Joined us that a
young woman, whose name | shall not
mention, came to visit the wife OF one
of the captains. | recall having read
somewhere: Wherever youth and
maiden are, there is a certainty of ro.
nance, and chance of tragedy.
There was surely romance in this case
for at the end of the summer, when
she returned to her home in the east,
she took the heart of my favorite lieu,
tenant with her. II was to my wife
that he shortly afterwards confded
the secret of the engagement
'All during that winter there was
not a happier or more jovial officer in
the fort than he, and when in tho
spring his application for leave was
granted, he left for the east followed
by the good wishes of every officer
and man in the command.
"His leave was for four months, but
just three weeks from the time OF his
departure he again stood before me
and reported for duty-a changed man
What occurred at the meeting nc
one in the command ever knew. but
the man who returned TO us for duty
was but poor substitute for the light
hearted fayorite who had so recently
left u.s. The ladies' attempted, by
every womanly expedient, to cheer
him up, and to bring him out of him
self; the men tried, sometimes clum
silly. but always sincerely, to show
their sympathy and regard. 1t was
useless-the arrow had gone home
What young Dorsey wanted, above
all else was, apparently TO be left
alone; and when not on duty he woulC
shut himself in his quarters and re
main invisible to every one. One day

wIckEDNEss AND BLOND HAIR
Thackeray Gave seheming Heroines

cent blue and light hair.
Thackeray, II would seem, was be-
fore his time in this respect, for his
minxes were always blond. Prof.
Saintsbury has recently declared that
Thackeray was never quite just to
ladies with fair hair" The immortal
Becky Sharp had locks of auburn
very much in favor to-day, but ana.
thema in 1Sl5-and eyes OF that jade,
green color which Tourgenieff has be-
slowed on so many of his alluring
women. Blanche Amory in "Penden.
mis-" and poor Cousin Maria in "The
Virginians" both incurred the censure
of their creator and both were vapid
blondes.
The only flighty young persons whom
Thackeray clearly admires are Beatrix

was chestnut colored and the other
black; If Ethel had been fair, the great
man would have made her marry
Lord Farintosh and elope with her
groom,
Miss Newcome, however, was drawn,
it is now known, from the beautiful
American, Miss Sally Baxter, to whom
Thackeray was attached in so platonic
and pathetic manner. The story of
his devoted friendship to the typical
American beauty, told in the Letters
to an American Family" is one of the
few genuine romances of the literary
life. Doubtless Miss Sally Baxter had
raven hair and those sweeping black
eyelashes for which the women of the
southern states are famous.

II might truly have been styled a
military dinner. for, aside from the
host and hostess and three young So
ciety buds, the entire party vas made
Iup OF army officers and their wives.
After the coffee had been served the
lstories OF army life began.
! Col Hapgood had told of the stir
ring times in the memorable cam.
ipalgn with Custer; Mai. Hinton, with
his usual gallantry, had declared what
a blessing women we're to a soldiers
life; while the younger division, Lieut.
Savage, true to his branch OF the serv-
ice, let out the secret of how the in
fantry officers had, the year previous,
outwltted their brethren of the cav
airy at the Christmas ball. Col. Kel-
Ter was one of those old.school officers
who never fiinehed when duty called,
whether Il was on the field of battle
or in the social arena; and his sum-
mons found him alert to respond.
"As usual thing" he began, there
is nothing OF so little use to the army
in the west as a graduate of West
Point. He arrives on the full tide OF
his glory, and is harder to break in
than an Indian pony; although | say
that, with a few exceptions. these
same raw recruits, after a couple of
years training, turn out to be good
officers and an honor to tie service.
Lieut.. Dorsey-for reasons that will
appear later, have withheld his real
name-was an exception to the rank

as he was both popular and good
officer from the day he Joined us. lie

ladies, and admired and looked up TO

AN HONEST

California, where the Trinity river
cuts through the Coast Range in lead.
ing its tortured waters out to the sea.
My contract imposed the task of erect.
ing a telegraph line So miles through
a chaotic land.
From the very first step in laying
out" the line until the last spike was
driven the construction work was a
fight with obstacles. AT many points
a wide tunnel had to be cut through
the forests, much as If one were open
ing a highway, in order that falling
boughs and trees might not crush the
line when the wild coast storms raked
the mountains Then there we're thick
cts of chaparral and manzanita to be
cut through, which we're tangled and
knit in something of the intricacy oi
the matted hair on a buffalo's neck
The turbulent Trinity had to be
crossed at three points, the wire car
ried around the brow of high and dan
gerous, heads, and directly over the
sagging spine of a mountain, 5000
feet above the level of the distant
oceans floor.
The object of the line was a wire
connection between certain mines
lumber.camp towns, and the coast fort
brought no men from the city, de
pending wholly on such labor as
could purchase in the region of action
First, the course of the line had tc
be determined, and, after some inves
