resources of places do Does your
free range at the present season In
clude green grass or green alfalfa?
Or is it dry hillside with only cac-
tus, horehound or sagebrush? Is 1t
a dry stubble field or weeds? If any
of these you will have to supply the
deficiency by growing plenty of sue
culent green of some kind. The lack
of bugs, worms, etc. (for these all
vanish from the dried up summer con-
dition of most free ranges), the worms
go down so deep that no hen could
scratch them up, much less could

supply a substitute for these.
What would be a good substitute?
The best I know is home made cot

Der, next to that either granulated or
dried milk, which can be bought at
the poultry houses; cooked or raw
ground meat or good beef scraps. The
beef scraps must be good. 1t Is quite

to drink, as they will bathe in 1t,
greatly to their disadvantage. Give
them only what food they will eat up
clean, as there is nothing so disgust
ing and unhealthful as a lot of stale
sour food which has been tramped over,
and nothing that will so soon give you
a lot of sick ducks
Shade is absolutely necessary, as they
will not thrive unles they have some
protection from the sun. Also be sure
that they have a constant supply of
fresh water as they will consume great
quantities of it.
Sick ducks are rare, and have never
seen a louse on a duck. They grow so
fast you can almost see them growing
that is, with one exception. At one
time not long since the writer had
splendid hatch of young Pekins, all of
which reached maturity. The fluffy
balls of down all loked alike when they
were Matched. but at the end of the
first week there was one of the young
sters that apparently had not grown at
all, although it seemed to be perfectly
we'll. At the end of the second week
things were the same. When all of the
others were feathered out, this one was
still a downy ball, although it followed
it's mates around and was still we'll.
Finally it too feathered out, and was
a miniature edition of its brethren,
following them still and always in the
best of spirits At last the others were
all sold or eaten, and not till then did
the baby take a sudden start and be-
come as large as any one of the others
had been.
l have never been able to account for
the strange freak as it always ate well
and seemed well. and when killed
seemed to be in perfect condition.
Let me repeat that it seems to me
that the maximum of profit with the
minimum of labor and expense is ideal

POULTRY YARD SUMMER WORK

We are indebted to Pacific Poultry
craft for the following suggestions for
summer work in the poultry yard:
Summer time is a good time for
commencing in the poultry business.
The weather is sure to be fine and one
can build and lay out yards and houses
to better advantage than at other
times. Part of our summer work
should certainly be devoted to plan
ming, but just today let us interest
ourselevs in the growing of the young
sters.
BE sure to keep the pullets grow
ing" was the order given in one of the
poultry books that many years ago l
was studying The writer did not say
how to keep them growing, nor What
would prevent chicks growing, and l
fairly hated that man for being so IN
definite. Since then I decided that,
poor fellow, he probably did not know
himself.
We will consider few of the things
that prevent growth at this season and
the methods of encouraging growth
and development of the young stock
in the early summer.
There are three essentials for pro-
noting growth. The proper food and
water being the first requisites; sec
ondary to these, but almost as I'M
DOrIanL, comes COiulOEb1 diuJ io0I poS
not least, is exercise.
I might say that the ideal way of
promoting growth is to have the
youngsters on a free grass range, with
plenty of shade trees and plenty OF
sunshine. The range must nave green
succulent grass or clover and alfalfa
with an abundance of bugs, grubs,
worms and insects. This would be ma
ture's own way of providing food ex-
ercise. comfort. IT, in addition, the
chicks can be provided with safe
roosting place, sheltered on three sides
from wind and overhead by the roof
from dew or rain, protected from night
nrowlers by a chicken wire front.
These would be ideal conditions for
growth, for building up strong and
vigorous bodies, for success and wealth
to the owner.
Can you give your chickens such
free range? OF what does your range
consist? I frequently remark that "the
needs of fowls do not vary, but the

from this cause, so besides being care

stones, dirt, hair, hoofs and horn, be

round green bone or bone that Is
properly dried before grinding also
tends to promote growth and are good
substitutes for insects.
On the free range there should be
kept hopper or box of grain. l pre-
fer the wheat and kaffir corn mixed.
These are grains that do not spoil or
ferment as quickly as grains that are
broken or crushed
People are awakening to the fact
that the climate of California is ideal
for the business when the poultry
raiser understands how to adapt the
houses and the care of fowls to 1t.
The needs of fowls do not vary, but
the resources of localities do. In diff
ferent places poultry breeders have to
do different things to meet the condi-
tions That is all there is to the bus

CAUSE Of FIRE

. y
A fire originating in the cellar OF the
Owen Bradford home 224 South WaTd
street this morning, did considerable
damage to the residence and for time
threatened destruction to the beauti-
full Bradford home and other places
nearby. The timely arrival of the hre
department from both South Side and
central stations prevented complete
loss Of the house and contents. The
origin Of the fire was in the cellar OF
the home where John Shuckrow. an
,employe of the gas company was re-
moving a meter which had been To-
Gated in the coal bin. While changing
the gas meter to another part OF the
cellar the blaze occurred and leaping
up from the open pipe soon ignited the
first floor OF the house and began
spreading to other sections of the
building. The pipeman in the cellar
was severely burned about the left
arm and his hair and beard stnged IN
his efforts to stop the flow of gas that
fed the fire. The home was badly
damaged by the flames and even more
so by the volume Of smoke that per-
vaded the entire house and left it's Ill
effects on all of the furnishings.
