The project 10 make Hancock big

Saturday by the announcement i'm a
message from Senator w. Frank
James. that the Grand lodge Of the
Sons OF ST. George of Michigan had
decided upon Hancock as the place
for holding the annual meeting and re-
union next year. This news Is very

Keep the brooder houses in a clean
sanitary condition, and never over
crowd.
Burnt corn has been used to good
advantage. This is one way Of supply
ing charcoal.
When you are through Matching,
market all the cocks that you do not
intend to use next year.
Combine the dairy and poultry
plants on the farm. In other words,
feed the milk to the chickens.
The barn is a splendid place for the
chickens but they should not be allow
ed to appropriate it exclusively.
Pullets hatched in May can be
brought to laying by November, If
they are properly fed and cared for.
Once a day is sufficient for chick
ems to be fed mash; the remainder
of the day dry grain is considered bet
ter.
Too many people who get good re-
turns for small flock figure that the
returns for large one will be in pro-
portion.
In giving medicine to a fowl. COM
mony speaking, what would be con-
side-ed the dose for a child is about
right for a fowl.
The small potatoes and other vege-
tables that are not suitable for human
food can be fed TO the chickens to
splendid advantage.
Lice increase very rapidly on the
sitting hen. Thoroughly insect pow
der her before setting, and a couple of
times during the sitting period.
Charcoal is an excellent feed for the
hens and should be before them at all
times. They will not eat very much
of 1t but they should have free access

Goose eggs require 30 days for I'm
Icubation, and it is customary TO hatch
at least some of them with hens. since
the geese are heavy and often not
inclined to set.
A good spray to disinfect coops and
brooders is mixture Of one-half pint
carbolic acid in two gallons OF water.
Ii is a bad idea to trust high priced
eggs in an incubator unless you thor
oughly understand how to operate 1t.

DIFFICULT TO RAISE TURKEY
overfeedIng and Vermln Among Prir
cipal Causes Of Mortallty-Chick-
en- Hens Poor Breeders.
By A. GLAIGHER. ohio)

Turkey hens, as rule, lay their
eggs on the ground. AS. they begin
laying very early in the season, 1t
is best to remove the eggs from
the nest soon after they are laid,
and replace them with hen eggs.
Be careful not to let a turkey hen
see you near the nest, because tur-
keys are very cunning and resent
intrusion. Wrap the eggs in paper
and place in boxes one layer deep.
They should be turned carefully,
every day until placed for Matching.
Turkey eggs will keep in good condi-
tlon for 21 days when cared for in
this manner But it is never advisable
to keep eggs longer than is neces-
sary.
Some people hatch their turkey
eggs with chicken hens, but We do
not think it a good practice on ac-
count of the fact that the poults are
apt to get lousy. We had an ex-
perience of this kind few years ago.
In spite of the fact that the poults
were thoroughly busted with powder
every few days they began to droop
and die.
AS a last resort we used olive oil
and found It excellent. DO not use
too much oil. Lard, or any kind of
animal grease will kill young poults

GOOD CARE IN HOT WEATHER

That Hens and Young Chickens

During the spring and summer
10 see that the hens and young chick
ems have plenty OF water and shade,
says a writer In the Iowa Homestead.
The hens cannot manufacture eggs
without a liberal supply OF water. AZ
a large per cent. OF eggs is composed
OF water. The growing flock, too. win

from thirst. This may mean no win
ter eggs from the puliets.
If one would take the best care OF
the flock he should give It fresh water
in the morning and just after noon.
The water that stands in a fountain
very long becomes stale ,and un-
healthy. Water should always be
pure and the vessels clean. IL is wise
TO keep the water vessels In the shade
of the house or trees all the day.
This leads TO the important question
of shade. No fowls will do well In
warm weather without sum cisnt

to notice my hens in the summer, and
/ have discovered that along toward
the middle OF the day they will seek
shelter from the suns hot rays. They
will either retire to the shade OF q
tree or the shelter of the poultry
house. They prefer TO get away from
the house il they can find suitable
shade elsewhere. II no trees arc
