to eight persons.

day use. The boriered cloth, two
yards square. will probably cost $50.

yard goods.
Napkins costing from two to three
dollars dozen will match these
cloths. At the first price the napkins
will measure 20 inches square. These

QUESTIONS ASKED AND ANSWERED.

thoroughbred chickens keep them
confined and they are forced for egg
production. They lay a great many
more eggs than the ordinary COM
mon chickens that have their lib
erty. This would have a tendency
to make the eggs weaker to start
with. On the other hand, they do
not get the exercise as chickens
on free range, which makes another
difference. Any hen that is not
forced or one that takes lots of ex
ercise, naturally her eggs are
stronger and will hatch better. This
is why you notice the difference,
but under same conditions eggs
from thoroughbreds will hatch as
well, if not better. than eggs from
common ordinary scrub stock. So
it is the treatment of the stock and
amount of eggs produced that cur
tails the Matching.

recently advertised and explained
by you in The Atlanta Journal. L
do not quite understand the back

appears to be an offset on the up

by arrow and designated raise up).

mixture of equal parts of fine
ground bran, shorts and corn meal
mixed up with milk and a small
amount of coarse sand sprinkled
over it. Plain light bread soaked
in milk, the milk squeezed out of
it is also good. They should be
fed in a trough or on plank and
should have just what they will
eat up clean every two or three
hours. They should also have what
water that they will drink right
after being fed, but take it right
away from them. If they get wet
or chilled it is certainly fatal to
young ducks. After they are a
week or ten days old you can add
commercial meat scraps, ABOUT 10
per cent to this feed and as soon
as they are old enough to eat
grain, feed them some little chick
feed or a scratch feed. This should
be dampened before being fed to
them and they should have what
green feed they will eat up with
a relish at least two or three times
a day, such as green cut alfalfa,
endive, chopped up cabbage or let
tuce, chick weed or anything OF
this kind. Keep plenty sand and
oyster shell before them at all
times.

ANSWER.


am mailing you a drawing of
the roost as they appear. The
roost raised up was simply to show
how it should be lifted when clean
ing underside and how easily it is
done.
To make a roost in your chicken
house, you should first make
platform similar to a table, three
feet wide and as long as you wish
it. Then by taking two pieces OF
Ike, bevel the ends and on top il
should be IS inches long and under
the bottom feet long, by placing
these two pieces of Ike edgeways
and mailing the two pieces Of 1X3
at the outside edge on top IL will
make your roosts IS inches apart
from the outside and they should
be about 8 to IL feet long. If you
desire the roost longer you should
have more Ike to support the 1x3.
This will make your roose one foot
shorter than the drop-ooard. There
fore, the drop-board will catch all
Of the droppings, as the roost pole
on top will be IL inches from the
front, also II inches from the back
of the drop-board, and by driving
four 1O-penny nails under the bot
tom of the roost support, leaving
about one inch exposed, this will
make four little pegs for the roost

board with and will not admit any
place for mites TO accumulate. BY
keeping a small amount of sand on
the roost you will have no trouble
IN keeping the perches clean.

full-blood stock than those hatch
ed from ordinary stock is because,

POULTRY ON THE FARM

buzHE poultry industry of the
south is just beginning to
IL be appreciated by the av-
erage farmer, and it is we'll that
it should be as it is undoubtedly
one of the most important
branches of farm life and one
that no farmer who expects to
ever prosper and have the farm
complete should ever neglect.
The poultry end of the farm is
something, that if given the
proper care and attention will
bring the farmer money every
day in the year and differs alto
gether from most OF the other
products that are produced on
the average farm. The income
from poultry usuaIIy helps the
women and children more than
it does the man on the farm as
it is usually looked upon by him
as a little insignificant undertake
ing, but the women ana children
