Clean legs, free from feathers, and
small combs, are points to be looked
after in marketing broilers.

do not have gapes. The weakest part
of a duck is its legs. Indigestion is

coarse sand is ommitted in the food.

of the shut in flock during the summer
months. I am of the opinion that it
would be advisable in this climate to
allow the fowls to run outside from
May to October, or to such time as
the wet season sets in; and keep them
confined only during the wet season.
But once this confinement begins it
should be continuous. If allowed to
run out during the brief spells of
clear weather that sometimes occur
in the winter, they worry and fret
when confined again and the egg yield
suffers. Again, if good results are
expected from this method the fowls
must be we'll cared for, as was the
flock described in the beginning OF
this article.

Don't buy cheap and unknown
brands of disinfectants for use around
your chicken houses. I nave had
cases of a mysterious disease brought
to my notice lately which a close
investigation along the late Mr..
Sherlock Holmes "lines of elimina-
tion''-proved to be virulent cases of
blood poisoning caused by torn or
gashed comb or waffle touching some
part Of wall or roost which had been
sprayed by cheap disinfectant sold
for half the price of good disinfectant
of national reputation, and guar
anteed by an INSCRIPTIONS druggist
to be "just the same and just as
good ," And the same with feeds,
particularly meat scraps. have
known the agent Of one brand of
scraps wrinkle his nose over a NAL
odorous handful of an opposition
brand and pronounce it "tankage"
(ie., fertilizer) and when, conclud
ing he was right in his definition, l
changed over to HIS brand, have
heard the other meat scrap man pro-
nounce THAT tankage; and doubtless
they we're both very near the truth.
And, as IN the tariff, trust and other
national games, it seems that the con-
sumner has no redress, but must bear
the brunt of it all. All honor then
to that dear old underlying principle
of our common (too common) law,
Let the buyer beware. A rough
but competent analysis of meat scrap
may be made by nose and palate;
and such germ1cides and disinfectants
as coal oil and crude carbOlic acid
backed up by a liberal use of the
white wash brush will keep down the
vermin without fatal consequences to
the fowls.

When getting ready the brooder
houses for the coming season it is a
good idea, in this Northwest climate,
to add an outside shelter. where the
young chicks can get the benefit of
the out door atmosphere and yet be
protected from the heavy rains OF
early spring. l have seen such a
shelter frame built OF 2x4 Ium Der,
lean to style, same width as the house
and running out from it 10 feet, the
top sloping down to height of three
feet from the ground at the outer
edge, the sides covered with wire
netting and the roof of Stats and tar
paper. Here the chicks took the air
and scratched and wallowed in the
dirt and, beyond question, throve
better then less fortunate f1ocks con
fined to the brooder houses during
all the wet weather.

and frozen combs and frozen drink

Two Accidents Saturday.

Two accidents occurred on the Ash
uelot road Saturday afternoon. Roy
Metcalf and his sister, Ruth, were re-
turning from drive toward Winches-
ter and were near the dam where the
canal first starts when they met an au-
tomobile driven by r. Il. Libbey of Win
chester. The horse stood still until the
automobile passed, then in an instant
backed the carriage over the bank, 10
or 10 feet, landing the occupants with
in two feet of the canal Both escaped
with only slight scratches and the
horse was uninjured, but the carriage
was demolished Mr.. Libbey came to
their assistance and did all that was
possible to right the matter, although
he was in no way at fault in causing
the accident 1t was with considerable
difficulty that the horse was gotten up
the steep bank to the road. The railing
is said by many to have been INSULT
cient at that point. This occurred about
430 o'clock. Two hours later William
Watson was driving toward Winchester.
Near the Holman machine shop he heard
an automobile behind him and being
near the left side of the road turned to
the right to allow the automobile to
pass on its own side. The chauffeur, A..
ID. Jennings of Winchester also turned
to the right, hitting the carriage, which
was overturned and pushed to the OPP
posite side of the road, throwing Mr..
Watson out. Fortunately he was able
to control his horse. Mr.. Watson es-
capped with various bruises but the car
riage was badly broken. Mr.. Jennings
was very courteous in the matter and
acknowledged it as his mistake.
