birds and thousands of these speci-
mems are annually offered for
sale by many breeders at a price
within the reach of all and they
are certainly worth the difference
asked for them over the ordinary
scrub. Usually feri few dollars,
invested, say ten TO fifteen dollars,
a person can buy-a pen, say four
to six hens and one male bird of

small amount that has probably
cost a breeder a lifetime's work to

in a. few years any one can usually
have just as goodca flock and some
just as good specimens as the
breeder of whom he secured his
foundation from and at a reasona-

"Hendersonyille, n. c."
..... ..-e- ANSWER,
The trouble referred ito with your
COW is a slight touch of garget in
the first stages; and it would be best
for you to. discontinue sthe use of
cotton seed meal and substitute
corn meal, wheat bran, shorts and
beet pulp equal parts and about
twice each week give her lump of
powdered saltpetre the size of the
end. Of your thumb. BY doing this
it will probably relieve the trouble,
as it will get her system cooled out
and open the milk tubes of the I'D
der. Unless she is relieved she is
3 likely to lose one or more of the
quarters of her udder:
The bloody milk is caused by ir-
ritation of some of the milk tubes in
her udder, but with her system
thoroughly cooled and a change of
feed, nature will heal these broken
passages, but sometimes, in spite Of
all you can do COW will lose one
or more of the quarters of her I'D
der. This does not decrease the flow
of milk, but it is unsightly to look
at
The bloody milk Should be dis
carded and not used as it contains
more or less bacteria, (which causes
g contamination The change of feed
will do more to relieve her system
than anything you could give her.

ANSWER. s
The lest way to feed, little ducks
when first Matched is on stale, light
bread soaked in sweet milk and
squeezed dry enough to keep It from
being sloppy, with some coarse sand
sprinkled on the bread and fed on
a plank or in a little trough. After
they are a few days old you can
gradually, by giving them every other
meal, of the new feed, change them
to a feed of equal parts. of bran,
shorts and corn meal, still giving the
coarse grit; also add little char
coal to the above mixture. BY the
. time they are ten days old a small
amount of prepared meat scrap should
be added to their feed. They should
be fed every three hours just what
they will eat up clean and should
have water just before and while eat
ing. At the. end of ten days or two
weeks they should. have one feed per
day of commercial chick feed which
has been dampened and in addition
to this give them all the green food
they will eat, such as tender lettuce,
tender grass or fine cut alfalfa.
