priced by the colonists and played
their part in the feast. For vege-
tables the Pilgrims had much the
same as they had In England. Gov.

parsnips, carrots, turnips, onions,

much the same as today.
But II the good housewife Of today
was obliged to prepare the thanksgiv-
ing feast with the utensils and incon-
veniences of the kitchen Of three CEN
lures ago she probably would throw
up her hands In hopeless despair. The
kitchen with its great glowing fire
place was the housewives domain and
the general living room Of the entire
family. The walls and the floor were
bare and the furniture meager and
comfortless, while the kitchen furnish
ings were odd and strange. 1t was in
this great cavernous chimney that the
Pilgrim wife cooked her thanksgiving
dinner. Placed high up In the yawn-

displaced by the great iron crane 1t

PROPER FEEDS FOR POULTRY
Best Rule lie to Watch Fowls and Give
Them What They viii Clean Up
Milk Is Excellent.

Generally speaking, the poultryman
need not worry much about feeding
formulas. If he will feed about one
third as much corn as all other grains
and feed animal and vegetable feeds
in connection he will get fairly salts
factory results. Those who are &C.
customed to compromising rations
might remember that a ratio of about
is Is considered a good ration for
laying hens and 1.6 a good one for
fattening poultry Of all kinds.
Fowls require the equivalent Of
about 27 pounds of dry feed for each
800 pounds of live weight. That is,
100 hens weighing pounds each
would require about " pounds of dry
matter each day. If they are given
milk, green, or other wet or juicy
feeds. they will require less grain.
About ounces of dry matter per day
is the quantity required for best re-
suits.
The very best rule is to watch the
fowls and feed them about all they
will eat. 1t is not good plan to al
low feed to lie uneaten. There is no
danger of the hens becoming too fat
as long as they are kept busy scratch
ing for their feed. 1t Is the fat hen
that lays the eggs regularly.

SECURING EGGS IN WINTER
Farmer Has Discovered That It IL
Profitable 20 Have commodous
and Comfortable Houses.

The farmer has become wise to the
fact that it is possible to have winter
eggs, which no longer is an idle dream,
as was the belief in the days OF our
forefathers. The farmer, too, has dis
covered that 1t is economy to have
commodious, comfortable winter
houses, and that for success there
must not be single mongrel per
mitted on the place. He has even
gone step farther, and invested in
incubators and breeders that he may
devote a part Of the winter months
to profit instead Of comparative idle
ness.
In short, he has in operation COM
plete poultry plant, and 1t has proved
to be the best crop on the farm, That
is the revelation of today, and the
farmer makes the most of 1t FOR the
reason that he has the proper facili-
ties.
The purebreeds Of the present day
are so superior in utility that one sell
dom comes across . flock of cross
breeds, and the one that keeps mon
grels is not of the class that is max
ing success.
The fanciers Of today deserve the
credit for this change. It was due to
their skill that health, ruggedness and
practical qualifications became a part
Of the makeup Of their breeds.
So sharp has become competition in
this line that the breeders of differ
ent varieties are working for egg rec
ords and meat supplies in preference
to show requirements. Even the Amer
lean Standard Of Perfection has modl-
fed the laws Of breeding so that utili-
ty will NOT be sacrificed Truly we
have entered an era when poultry be-
comes the food fowl instead Of the
show bird.
1t has been proved that, properly
bred, pure bloods are more prolific
layers, give more uniform size and
color to the eggs, and the young stock
mature more uniformly and give bet
ter carcasses, and utilize the food con-
Humed to better advantage, than is the
case with either crossbreds or mon
grels.

lNGRSAs u 4aaao

A successful poultryman is good
feeder.
Poultry will not thrive upon an ex-
elusive grain diet.
The floor Of the poultry house
should be so constructed and Of such
material that 1t is dry.
Selection of breeding stock is one Of
the most important duties connected
with the poultryman's work.
The busy hen is the money malEeF.
The singing hen is a laying hen. Be
wise and choose accordingly.
Put the plow or spade into eveBv
portion Of the poultry yards, and see
how the hens will thank you.
The quality of eggs has much TO do
with their selling ability. The better
the quality the better they sell.
Fowls that are compelled to sleep
in a draught contract colds, which
often develop into bronchitis. diph-
sheria or roup.
II there be one thing more essential
to success 10 poultry rearing than an
other, It is to go slow, and Ieara wis
dom as You 90,
To be successful In any line Of wark
requires forethought and iudicious
planning. Especially Is this SO In the
raising Of poultry.
No poultry farm is complete with
out few cows, as skim milk is not
only cheap feed, but profitable one
for fowls at all ages.
When you confne your birds IN
coops you should be very careful not
to feed too heavily or you win give
them bowel complaint.
The necessity Of thoroughly clean
ing the poultry houses at this season
of the year is obvious to all who give
the subject much thought.
One person on the farm should have
charge of the poultry, and that par
son should not be the hired man or
boy, but some member Of the familx,

such sCanty arms as the hurrying pub

hung from his neck.
One day a group of gentlemen halted
near him, chatting, and he heard the
name by which they called the one
who fingered longest. Reaching for
ward as he, too, was about to 20, he
caught him by the coat.

next day the blind soldier bore on his
breast a placard with a stanza to
which was appended the name of Vic

were quintupled. The lines may be
