MESH EnnS

Prices of feeds are high this
season and the feed should be
handled carefully and with an
idea of economy. BY this 1 do
not mean to give the hens short
rations. but be careful that there
IS no waste and that the ration
is properly balanced. 1t is poor
economy to feed just one kind
of food because if the hens lack
one element which they need for
egg production they will not lay
and so the feed which they do
get is in way wasted. When
the price of feed is high the prot
its are of course smaller and
there may be none, unless great
care is taken in the feeding.
Be careful in handling ducks
and geese, as their legs and
joints are easily broken. 1t will
not do to lift and hold them by
the legs as we do chickens. They
should be handled BY the body
and neck.
When cleaning up after the
setting hens and also after Civ
ing the laying hens new nests,
burn all the old nests. This will
help greatly in keeping free from
lice and disease, as the old nests
are quite sure to have a few lice
and perhaps some disease germs
in them. If they remain scat
tered around the premises and
the hens are allowed to scratch
them over. you may be sure the
lice and disease germs win be
gathered up and kept in the
flock
If you wish to behable to tell
your yearling hens from your
oldest pullets, it would be well
to mark them while they are
melting as after they have their
new feathers it is sometimes
impossible to tell them from well
grown pullets.

trance examination to which the candi-
dates will be subjected.
