DON,TS.

Don't throw feed into filth. Try to
feed hens on new ground, in clean lit
ter or troughs. It's an old story that
filth breeds disease.
Don't make hOppers so large that
ground feed will stand long in them
and mold.
Don't forget that most of our practi-
cal knowledge comes from experience
and that attention to details makes up
the sum total of success.
Don't use a round roost. 1t causes
corns, and round off the roOst edges so
fowls may sleep in comfort.
Don't expect eggs to stay at winter
prices all the year around. They drop
If feed prices don't.
Don't expect your hens to pay profit
unless you keep them busy. Lazy hen,
like lazy men, no good.
Don't forget that poultry is an hon.
orable paying business for the man
that will work, but no place at all for
the loafer and shirk.
Don't forget that. geese are vegeta-
rians; therefore feed them plenty OF
beets, cabbage. waste apples and pota-
toes in winter.

kuRlos FROM KoRREsPoNDENTs

Q. Will you please tell me how to
tell the gander from the goose?
A. The gander is larger. his head is
coarser, and he has a squeaking voice
while the female makes hoarse sounds
Turn a dog into the yard and the
gander will hiss and chase him.
Q. The ground in my poultry yard
is rank. How can get 1t sweet
again?

lime, let it lie a day, then spade under
and SOW a quick growing crop.
Q. notice whole wheat in the drop
pings of my fowls. Is this usual. or
is it q disease. and how can stop it?
A. You are not furnishing your fowls
grit or what you do give them is not
sharp enough to grind grain.
@. | have a beautiful Buff Leghorn
cock bird and would like to know
how to straighten his Topped comb.
Would you breed from bird in such
condition?
A. If your fowls comb is creased
and has finger marks, is too thin or
has something else about its shape
that makes it turn, nothing can better
it; otherwise the fowl may be out of
condition. Examine him for lice or
any ailment you may not have OBJ
served, place him in seclusion and feed
him well, especially of meat. Hardly
think we'd breed him in such condi-
ton, especially for show.
Q. If give my fowls good care and
rations in January and February can't
l get as good fertility as in April?
A. No. Fowls have their natural
reproductive season, and those months
aren't on their calendar April and
May are best
