SPECIAL FATTENiNG.
Give the Poultry "a Special Finish
Before Marketing.

good many dollars are lost every
year by farmers because they send
heir poultry to market in poor conGi
ton as regards flesh. On many farms
the practice is to ship every win or
several crates of live poultry young
and old. and in most cases the speci-
mems sold are picked up off the ranae
and no attert1n is paid TO the condi.
ton of flesh The farmer can fat en-
MS poultry cheaper than any one Else
under the sun and in most cases over
"A pound of weight can be added to
every fowl sold at a cost of no. more
thaa five cents. The extra flesh added
would make the entire con. grment
sell for one or two cents a pound more
an it otherwise would, at the lowest
estimate.
All the fowls that are to be sold
should be selected three weeks before
the time they are to be shipped aal
placed in separate quarters, suggests
II Farmer They should be given a
reasonably sized pen indoors and a
fair sized yard outside, where they
may exercise somewhat in fair wealth
or. They should be fed three times q
day, morning, noon and night The
morning and noon feeds may consist
Of one part corn meal, one part ground
cats with the hulls sifted out. one
part bran and third of a part Of high
grade beef scraps. This may be mi~ed
With water or milk, though if mills is
used not quite so much beef scraps
will be needed. The night feed should
be of cracked corn. Fresh water
should be given TO drink and a box Of
grit and one of charcoal should be
placed where the fowls can reach it at
any time. No more should be fed at
each meal than the birds viii eat up
one feed and any that is left over
after Is minutes should be taken away
and the feeding troughs removed.

Readers Faithful Friends.

Tradition is but a meteor, which,
if it once falls, cannot be rekindled.
Memory, once interrupted, is not to
be recalled. But written learning is
fixed luminary, which, after the cloud
that had hidden it has passed away,
is again bright in It's proper station.
So the books are faithful repositories,
which may be awhile neglected or for
gotten, but when opened again, will
again impart instruction.-Dr. John
