Most Successful! and Satisfactory

oRv W. r. GILBERTD
IN nearly every instance of chicken
rearing there are birds of different
ages There viii be weeks and some
times months between them. and to
bring them up in mixed lots is not the
best treatment they can receive

as the large and stronger select the

We often hear of early chicks do
ing well and late mes rot succeeding
so completely This is wondered at.
and few may attribute it to the cause

the case.
1t is a good plan to classify all
chickens as far as possible according
to size and age, and bring them up
in patches. This is a most successful

tory than mixed rearing.
The smaller chickens should al
ways have the best attentions in Sc
lection of the purest ground, the most
sheltered positions. and the sunny
spots.
Their food should be more adapted
for juvenile requirements than that
required for the larger specimens, and
when all are about the same size, none
experience those aggressions which
often occur in the poultry yard, and
always to the disadvantage of the
young and weak.
In small yards each lot may be kept
in wired runs, but on the farm all re-
quirements are met admirably by
placing the coops or houses here and
there in different fields and positions
some distance apart.
How much better they all do by this
arrangement than any other. will. very
soon. be gratifyingly apparent.

Inc average weight of goose eggs is
ABOUT 512 ounces each.
CHARCOAL in a granuIated form

10 not forget that it requires four
e to %incubate duck eggs. One
week more than is required for hens.
Pigeons will not thrive unless they
are kept in comfortable, dry, clean
quarters. and are given plenty of room
to work and exercise.
Gosllngs and ducklings should be
TED damp mashes only, for the first
few weeks. They do not seem to be
able to do well on dry grains.

The eggs from pullets are seldom

are often infertile, and if they do hatch
the chicks are small and sickly.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON
Sunday?

MY little son, when about a year
and a half old, began to have sores
come out IN his face. l had a physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. Then l
called another physician. Still he
grew worse. At the end of about a
year and a half of suffering he grew
SO bad that | had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.

When EqQs Are Good.

According to the secretary Of the
National Poultry Organization of Lon.
don, England, an egg should be either
at least three or four years old or not
o thar three or four days. He
says: II have eggs from China which
are excellent. The Chinese wrap
them in clay, put them away for three
years and Their bake them.
THE clay pulls off the shell and the
interior resembles a plover's in
appearance. They are much nicer
than a stale English egg, because the
chemical process of change is com.
pleue.
The abomination is the month-old
egg. which the cooperative depots we
are establishing are designed to abol-
ish."
