WHEN TO FEED POULTRY FOOL

WHEN TO FEED POULTRY FOOD
There Is prevailing notion with a
certain class Of poultrymen that 1t
doesn't pay to force laying fowls dur
ing the warm summer months-that
they will get along very we'll with or
binary food and what they can pick
up about the yards That this opin-
ion is not shared by the most pro-
gressive poultrymen is shown by the
fact that not long ago the manufac-
turers of Pages Perfected Poultry
Food inquired of some of the prom
inent poultry breeders Of New Eng.
land as to what they considered the
best time in which to feed this food
d. j. Lambert Of Apponaug, r. l., who
is famous as a breeder Of high class
poultry and one of the best known
in New England answered as follows.
I'VE feed Pages Poultry Food" every
month in the year"
If you want to know more about
this food and the best ways of usint
1t, write c. s. Page, Hyde Park, VT
for his booklet, Profitable Poultry.

one mentioning this paper.

Burns terrific lacing before he is

long white robes, their bare feet and their
hair streaming about their faces. At given

The young warriors Of an African tribe IN the
east of Cape Colony celebrate their coming Of
age with peculiar dance. Just before reaching
his majority each youth goes to Abakweta and
there spends a year, during which time his
friends and relatives are not allowed TO see his
face. Every fortnight the young men give an
all day dance. in which they enact the bold deeds
of hunting and fighting that they expect to per-
form in their manhood. TC this dance come
their families. but the dOting relatives find II
impossible 20 identify the performers, since each
youth is disguised in a huge straw helmet which
covers his head and face. wears a straw petit
