TELLING AGE OF POULTRY.

TELLING AGE OF POULTRY.
English authorities hold that there
is no certain test of age for poultry,
but they admit and indorse the eX-
perience of the writer that in general
the spurs both of hens and cocks will
distinguish a two-year-old bird, but
there are exceptions in which really
young birds develop old looking
spurs, while really second year birds
preserve the short, rounded spurs of
a sockerel
The texture of the legs is a guide
to some extent, and so is the deli
cscy and freshness of the skin Of the
face and comb, but still an occasion
al hen will preserve her youthful
appearance to a startling degree
The skin of the body is a better
test, becoming coarser and drier look
ing with age.
Formerly the wing feathers were
considered an absolute test as be-
tween pullet and a hen, even after
the long practice of early breeding
had made the melting of early pull
lets quite common.
To a certain extent the absence of
pullet quilts still regarded as evil
dcnce of greater age, but for some
time these feathers also have been
becoming more and more uncertain
as to the actual fact, unnaturally
early Matching have upset all the
old rules.
1t is more difficult to judge the
age of water fowls than of other
POULTRY, partly from the absence of
spurs, partly from greater longevity,
AID partly because the water keeps
their legs soft and fresh.
Ducks waddle more heavily as they
grow older, and after two or three
years acquire depression down the
breast.
An abdominal pouch of great size
indicates great age in geese.
Turkeys up to Year old are said
TO have black feet, which grow pink
up TO three years of age, when they
gradually turn gray and dull.
Age in pigeons is often told by the
color of the breast. In squads the
flesh looks whitish as seen through
the skin, but becomes more and more
purplish as the bird grows older.-M.
X, Boyer.

RIGHT TINE TO PICK APPLES.

Apples intended for cold storage
should not be allowed to become too
ripe on the trees. When an apple is
fully grown, highly colored, but still
hard, it is in prime condition to be
picked and stored. 1t has then OBJ
tanned its highest market value be-
cause it is most attractive in appear
ance and best in quality, If picked
before entirely ripe, apples deterior-
ate more rapidly, and it is best TO
allow an apple to become a trifle
overripe than to pack it in an i'm
nature state. Many people have the
erroneous opinion that apples should
he picked before fully ripe in order
to keep we'll in cold storage, but this
is a mistake.

fell. at least before cold weather sets
in. for it is poor planning to put off
providing warm poultry house until
the time arrives for its use. A com
Portable poultry house need not be a
costly one nor a particularly warm
one. Every poultry house should have
two rooms with a tight partition be-
tween them. II 1t is built in this
way. the flock may be crowded into
one room when very cold weather
comes, and the heat of their bodies

blowing on her she will be very conf
Portable in a room in which the tenn
perature runs as low as 10 to u
degrees below the freezing point,
The poultry house should be locat-
ed on a dry spot, where water will
not stand at any time during the
year. 1t should provide at least three
square feet for every fowl kept in it,
and should be lighted with good, big
windows in the south side 1t should
be made so that all the inside fix
lures may be taken oUt and cleaned
without trouble and the perches
should be on a support that does not
touch the walls at any point. The
perches should be the same height
from the floor not to exceed thirty
inches, and under them should be a
tight platform to catch the drop
pings. This platform should be eight
inches below the pegChes, thus giving
the fowls the entire floor space dur
lug the day.-Miller Puryis.
