though I have frequently seen brood
er chickens less than four weeks old,
with crooked breast bones, and these
chickens had never seen a roost or
had a chance to fly upon anything
which would cause their breast bones
to become crooked. Where you find a
man who has much trouble with
crooked breast bones, you usually find
that he is keeping his stock in too
close confinement, or is feeding a
ration too low in ash, or is breaking
some Of natures laws in some way.
For roosts We usually use 2 by 4,
beveled on top, placed so that the hens
roost on the narrow edge.

besides prospective brides there are
ordinary middle class girls who have
been well educated and are trained in
sports and accomplishments but are
lacking in rudimentary knowledge of
home making. In many cases they are
planning to go to the colonies or to
take some position In domestic service
after they have gained a knowledge of
housewifery.
