FEATHERS AND EeesHELLs.

Many fail to win at shows because
they start conditioning fowls too late
This should begin in time for fowls t.
catch up to standard weight. replace
broken feathers and become perfect
ly tame.
Many have often wondered whether
Peter lost his appetite for chicken aft
er his experience with the cock that
crew thrice. Not so, if we judge him
by his successors.
Judge Savidge of Sunbury, Pa, ad
vised a husband who was before him
for nonsupport to leave town and &c
back to the farm. Yes, you seldom see
the man that sticks to the farm before
court or in the poorhouse.
A turkey hen at Muncy, Pa. after
raising seventeen poults Matched TWEEN
ty-four chicks and carefully raised
them. For size and vigor they beat
all the hen raised broods on the farm.
Why? Because Mother Turkey keeps
her young away from filth and follows
natures plan.
A friend paid 500 for stock and
made total failure of his first year
because he was sold wornout birds.
His poultry journal guaranteed this
advertiser. and the victim presented
his case and got a sour lemon with a
lump of sugar in it.
If you think snow can take the
place of water just set some down in
pan at night where chickens have
had only snow all day. They almost
drink their heads off. Water is a
great item in fattening, and chickens
gain much less when they must melt
snow to soak their feed.
Why some didn't win is often ex-
planned after the show by their state
ments before. They are too cocksure.
A fellow is seldom kicked by q mule
because his business end is so well adj
vertised by his he-haw-haw! Like

April IA, 1916. His appearance was

had long. bony face blotched with rec
and scanty hair of dirty yellow color
His hollow eyes cleaned under thick
reddish eyebrows, but were furtive
and restless. never looking straight al

eye as he examined me was like a
