POULTRY NOTES.

II pays to breed from vigorous
birds
The poultry business will never
meet the demand.
Many poultrymen feed alfalfa every
day in the year.
Look after the little things and your
success will be great.
Never keep chicks on board floor.
It develops leg weakness
Resolve to keep the poultry house
perfectly clean this year.
II we want extra good layers we
must breed this trait into the hens.
Bread thoroughly dried and rolled
into fine crumbs is excellent chick
food.
The isolating coop should take care
of every bird that is off feed or un-
healthy.
Feed breeding ducks a crumbly
mash twice a day, morning and
evening.
If we want to get eggs in winter
we must breed from hens that lay
well in winter
Coop the fowls intended for market
and give them all they will eat Of rich
food for a week or two
The pens should be kept clean and
sanitary provision should be made
to admit plenty of sunlight
Cut bone or meat meal take the
place of the now absent insect diet so
necessary to egg production.
Hens prefer secluslon when they are
laying, and they are not likely to
break eggs and get into the habit Of
eating them If the nests are kept
dark.
A farmers wife will not find It hard
to get private customers in town, for
genuine fresh eggs are seldom to be
had there
For watering poultry the best meth.
cd is to use the gallon fountains and
fill with warm water every morning.
These fountains are made Of galvan.
lied iron and can be carried in and
set on the kitchen stove If they freeze
up.

1t was decided to begin an agitation
that will do away with the scheme en-
tirely. A meeting will be held within the
next ten days or two weeks, to be at
tended by leading Grand Army men. when
plans will be discussed relative to legisla-
ton in the veterans behalf. 1t was de-
termined to begin the agitation at once
by bringing the matter to the attention
of all Grand Army men living in this
city.
Mr. Donath pointed out that in the
recent political campaign the two big
political parties recognized the influence
of the veterans as a political factor and
solicited their votes. He referred also to
the public declarations of these parties In
the past relative to old soldiers. A num-
Der of speeches followed that of Mr..
Donath and showed a vigorous opposition
to the enforced retirement plan.
