the conversation straight up to GER

Poultry Pickings.

Darkening the nests is one way to
prevent the egg eating habit.
Earthen water fountains in the poul,
try yard are better than tin ones. The
former will keep the water cooler in
summer and warmer in winter.
1t is an old saying that too much
care will kill a cat" and it is also true
daily work to be done. it is not neces-
sary to coddle the chicks and try to
be with them all the time
A hen in the best laying condition
has some surplus fat on her body.
This means that her bodily wants
have been supplied. and there is some
to spare. A very fat hen seldom lays
we'll. A poor hen cannot lay we'll.
An average Of 1.O eggs per hen dur
ing the first year OF laying is fairly
good laying. Pullets in good health
and vigor should average this number
Of eggs. During the second year they
will lay about IS per cent fewer eggs
and each succeeding year correspond
ingly fewer.
A poultry keeper gives recipe for
a dry mash which contains large
amount Of heterogeneous food and says
it is especially good for feeding pull
lets. He uses one bushel each Of bran
middlings. alfalfa and one-ha!f bushei
each Of ground oats and meal and
some fine charcoal and meat scFapA
These are mixed thoroughly.
