Valuable Fertilizer.

Poultry manure is a valuable fer
tilizer if properly handled. Professor
Watt tells how it is done at the Penn
sylvania State College. He says: at
is collected on dropping boards which
are sprinkled with rock phosphate,
gathered frequently and pN@ed IN bar
rels. After the barrels are full they
are covered with rock phosphate,
which practically seals the barrels so
far as the escape of ammonia is con
cOrned. The manure has been used
on various vegetables and produced
the very best results. It's value is es-
pecially noticeable where applied for
early cabbage"

Most chicks are well fed and cared
for while their mothers are confined
In coops; but when allowed TO range
regular feeding Is too often neglect
ed, and as a result growth is retarded
and they become what is termed
"stunted." It appears from statistics
furnished by produce dealers that but
seven per cent. OF spring chicks mar
keted weigh four pounds December /.
BY this time all the spring stock OF
the general purpose breeds. like the
Rocks, Wyandottes, Orpingtons and
Reds, should average at least six
pounds live weight Plymouth Rocks

pounds dressed, at Thanksgiving time,

development while on range.
When the chicks are weaned at
six or eight weeks and are on range.
their grain ration, with grit and char
coal, may be supplied In hoppers. The
hoppers should be so placed or 80
constructed that the old fowls will not
rob the chicks or drive them away.

covered with wire, will admit the
chicks and keep others from fright

the fountain about a quarter full OF

Shake the vessel briskly so that the
