ExeeIIert Poultry Hints.

Here are n few hints to those who
are in the business OF raising market
poultry: Market the ROSTERS sepa-
rately. Aim to attract the eye OF the
buyer Have regular market days.
Try to build up a reputation for prime
stock. Grow bone and muscle first.
and then fatten. Big combed broilers
are apt to be wrongly classified in
market. Always notify your commits
sion merchant before shipping. Young
fowls shipped with old stock will CON-
mand old stock prices. Poultry should
be killed the day before marketing
when going direct to the consumer
Do not mix white.skinned chickens In
the same shipment with yellow
skinned ones. Have tag fastened OF
each fowl you send to market. 1t is
the best way to advertise your stock.

MUCH DAMAGE DONE BY, LICE
Chick Found Asleep Is Flag Of Danger
and One Would Better Look for
Trouble-Watch for Insects.
(By EMMA STACEY

(By EMMA STACEY
Should you enter the poultry yard
and find chick asleep instead Of at
work. you would better look for the
trouble. and without doubt you will
discover the lice; or II the chicks do
not grow as you think they should.
look for the trouble. 1t may be the
same old lice. When the chicks are
Matched it is an excellent plan to
grease the head and under the wings
with pure lard-not enough to chill
the chicks. Many have found to their
sorrow that various mixtures Of coal
oil, vaseline and insect powder will
kill the chicks as well as the insects.
The yards and houses must lie clean
at all times through the hot months,
or you can't keep the lice away, and
lice and success do not go the same
way Paint the brood coops, the nest
boxes and the roosts; indeed, every
thing but the chickens should get n
washing of the mixture. There is no
worse drawback to the poultry bust
ness than lice and other insects which
render the life of the fowl most miseT-
able.

We are going to tell you the secret

chicks get the sore head, first thing
you know. and II they don't die Of neg
lect a month is taken out Of the

cared for, another month or six weeks
will be lost with roup in early fall,

Fresh air, sunshine and exercise
are the best poultry tOnics.
The natural time for a hen to lay
is from February to October.
Air-slacked lime Is a valuable dis
infectant In the poultry house.
From now on until next spring the
hens should be supplied with a dust
box.
Oyster shells is the best food with
which the hens can manufacture egg
shells.
Ducks have become one Of the best
paying propositions in the poultry in
dustry.
The germ Of disease must be de-
stroyed before the disease can be
eliminated.
The necessity for fresh air has led
to the great popularity of the open
front houses.
Eggs and fowls used in the Eome
should be credited at market prices.
This il only fair.
Plenty Of exercise and plenty OF
good fresh air are necessary for the
health Of the flock.
Theirs are many waste products
that could be turned to use as poul'
try food in every garden.
Many a woman makes q greater
success With poultry than her husband
does with the work Of his farm.
II good hens do not lay, the fault Is
probably with the care taking. With
the right kind OF care and feed they
are sure to yield well.
A pen Of a hundred good laying
hens will produce enough eggs to sup
ply the sugar and coffee Of an ordi'
nary family, besides supplying the
home table.
A hen. a pig, steer, a cow-any OF
our meat-producing or milk-producins
animals, are Of value to the farmer
only In proportion to their digestive
and assimIlative powers.
Growing ducklings thrive hest on q
feed composed Of equal parts, by meas
urA of cornmeal. ground peas, bran
and middlings, all made into thick
mash, either with scaldlng hot water
or milk, the latter being the best. The
