SUPPLY EGG-MAKING FOODS.
If one fact is established in hen
ology. it is that the fununess of fowls
for bugs and worms is not an un-
natural taste. The animal matter
thus secured supplies most import
ant element in the fowls food. 1t
is largely because the hens cannot
procure this food in winter that
they cease to lay. Another reason
for few eggs in winter is that the
hens are not only not in the best of
physical condition, but the food they
get does not contain the proper ele-
ments for egg-making. Food contain
ing the necessary elements must be
supplied If we are to have full egg
baskets. It is for this reason that
feeding of green cut bone has be-
come so popolar among money-mak-
ing poultry men and women. Green
cut bone supplies this needed ele-
ment. and at less expense than
grain can be fed. 1t keeps the fowls
healthy, it makes eggs. and is in
dispensable.-Poultry RecorI

NOTES.
Do you know the parents Of The
best birds sou raise 1t wo1id be
a good idea 10 keep track Of The
matter il YOU wish TO gain steadily.
Keep the premises ard buildings
in neal and attractive shape. Ii
will wonderfully increase the visitors
estimation OF you and your flock
DO not fail TO provide plenty of
green food for your fowls. as il IS as
necessary as grain or meat.
A good sulphur smoke with every
door and window closed will be
found the best and cheapest fumiga-
ton. Be sure there is no living thing
in the house when you start the sui
phur burning.
If lice are numerous in your poul-
try houses whitewash the interior.
Apply it hot and they will disappear
from the house.
Poultry houses with ground floors
should have several inches of dirt
scraped of and fresh put in it's place.
Every poultry yard and run should
be swept and then the soil turned
under.
All poultry houses should have
plenty OF fresh air and sunshine.
You should provide runs to your
houses. as every fowl needs plenty
OF exercise to make it healthy.
Don't be discouraged even if you
did not win a single blue ribbon the
past season. Don't be a gutter; be
game and go in to win next season.
Get setting or two Of eggs or a pen
OF birds from some good breeder who
mas the goods and get ready for
next winters conflict.

SHIP FERTILE EGGS.

1t is better that eggs for shipment
shall not be fertile. They Will keep
longer than fertile eggs. OF course
you want to be careful that all eggs
selected for Matching shall be fertile.
Don't select ill-shaped eggs for hatch
ing, or those of extra size with white
spots in the shell. They are not the
kind to hatch. If you want eockerels,
select the largest and longest eggs
for Matching, and especially when
they are the first laid. The round
even eggs usually hatch pullets. Don't
moisten setting eggs The hen does
that with her breast.-The National

MATCHING GOSLINGS.

Do not hatch goslings too early.
If you wish to raise them, keep them
OF the ponds until well feathered,
as the down is no protection, and the
cold water chills them. 1t Is only
late in the spring. when the weather
is warm, that they can indulge on
the pond. Feed them on cornmeal,
animal meal and ground oats, moist
ened, three times day the first few
days, and then only once a day, as
they can easily find portion of their
food on the pasture if grass has com
menced. II the weather should be
cold they must be fed more frequent,

TURKEY RAISING.

Turkeys are generally conceded to
be the most difficult to raise of all
poultry. While in their natural state
they are healthy and hardy, in con-
hnement they easily become a prey
to disease and the mortality in do
mesticated turkeys is such as to
cause rigid Investigations on the part
OF both state and national expert
mentors. The object of these expert
ments has been principally to pro-
duce, if possible, strain of turkeys
that would be immune or nearly so
from the disease commonly known
as "blackhead' and to find the cause
and remedy for that trouble.
1t has been found by most breed
ers and those interested in turkey
culture that an old sod was prefer
able to cultivated fields for ranging
or yarding turkeys and that the COM
bination of turkeys and chickens in
the same yards is unadvisable. The
parasites of the disease infest chick
ems in great numbers but are appar-
emily not as malignant and fatal to
them. but if turkeys are allowed the
same range, they are easily infected
with the disease, and the mortality
in young turkeys is very great.
There is some difference in opin-
ion as to whether Embarrassing is
becoming more difficult. 1t is the
opinion of most breeders that each
season finds greater mortality in
young turkeys.
Some twenty years ago we visited
a large plantation near the coast OF
Virginia where an old time planter
raised turkeys in large numbers and
this apparently without much effort
or care on his part. At the time of
cur visit there were hundreds OF
well-grown, glossy plum
aged bronze turkeys roaming about
over the broad fields and forests. The
owner Of this estate was before the
war a man of Independent means and
after being wounded in battle, find
ing his crops and acres devastated.
his slaves freed, and those near and
dear to him actually in need OF the
necessities OF life, he attempted tur-
key raising as we'll suited to his sur
roundings-a plantation of many
acres about evenly divided between
gra ~ slopes and welLwooded shores
or tide-watered river.
Z, gave them little care. absolute
" free range and allowed them to
breed and rear their young almost
wholly unmolested. They were the
tame Bronze variety but had every
advantage of the Wild Turkeys that
were then quite plentiful in that Sec
ton, and some Of them not infre-
quently came to the roosting ground
with the tame ones.
He claimed that turkeys were very
hardy, required little care and for
aged for the greater part OF their
living. Turkey raising along these
lines !s undoubtedly little practiced
today and it Is the opinion OF most
investigators that the attempts to do
mesticate or semi-confine turkeys.
especially In connection with other
domestic poultry, is resulting in q
greater mortality among young tur-
keys each season.-American Poultry
World.

J has one running at the present time.
Il appears that in Tasmania the
greatest success has been obtained.
1t is said indeed that the results
have exceeded the most sanguine
expectations OF the poultry expert"
AT the time the report was writ
ten the competition had been going

Guided the winter season. During
that time the leading pen made up
Of six white leghorns, has yielded S26
eggs. AS wheat is scarce in Tas

that country is oats. A great deal
Of green food is given and also a
large amount Of lime and bone-form-
ing material is supplied In other
words, the hens are fed unnaturally
and stimulated into an artificial pro.
duction.
An expert on the subject says ma
ture intended hen to lay at most,
"a eggs in year. The modern COM
mercial hen is expected to lay from
$50 to 250 eggs a year. To enable
her to achieve that feat a highly
stimulating. unnatural process of
feeding is required. One breeder in
Tasmania obtained big results by
feeding curds of skinned milk OBJ
tanned by using rennet. He is quot
ed as saying: In dairy country it
will pay farmers better to feed skim
med milk to laying hens than to
pigs
