Feed For Fanciers

Hawks take fewer chickens than
careIessness and neglect
! always feed some kind of fresh
meat if insects can not be picked up
For worms in chickens / have found
nothing better than surphuric acid in
the drinking water.
Pure bred stock pays even though
you only raise for the market. The
young chicks mature quickly and the
hens lay well.
Nature is all right. You give the hen
the right material and she will turn out
plenty of results. Feed sufficient sur
plus of natural egg making food to en-
able her TO produce surplus Of eggs
beyond the natural supply.
In taking a record Of the hens give
them credit for every egg laid Each
night as the eggs are gathered. the
number is put down opposite the date
when the entry is made in the book,
and all eggs are valued at market
price.
There are no chickens more fine and
robust than those which are raised on
a farm, with ample opportunity Of
ranging over the fields and finding a
large portion of their own food in the
form of worms, insects, green leaves
and seeds.
Always keep hens scratching from
daylight until nightfall and after they
go to roost go to the hen house and
scatter some grain in the litter, and as
soon as it is light enough for the hens
TO see they are working hard at the lit
ter.

There is more or less criticism as to
the Blacks. Referring to color ! may

they suppose the skin is black, or the

black feathers? If the latter is the

There is no other black chicken in

and there are many reasons why.
They were the first originated and are
the easiest to breed TO shape and to
obtain size they seem more inclined to

that this argument is the far-fetched.

delatone with water to cover the hairy
surface; apply. and after two or three
minutes rub off, wash the skin, and the
hairs will be gone.
Nine times out of ten when woman

lected her complexion. Dissolve in half
pint Of witch hazel an original package OF
mayatone and gently rub little on face.

When a woman does not care to risk
catching cold washing her head she can
get splendid results by dry shampooing.
