DoNT's IN POULTRY SHIPPING
Most Profitable to Use Clean, Fresh
Boxes With Care and Neatness
In Packing Fowls.

There are a number Of "Don'ts"
that should be observed by shippers
of market poultry: Don't ship bony,
skinny stock. Don't ship half-picked,
fiesh-torn poultry. Don't ship to ev-
cry strange house that solicits your
consignment. First look them up; in
v~estigate the references. Don't ship
dressed stock in any old box that
may be handy.
It pays to use clean, fresh boxes,
using care and neatness in packing.
Frequently the buyer is present when
the box is opened, and a sale spoiled
because of the packing. Don't pack
poultry after dressing until all the
animal heat is out. Don't let some
little market luster cause you to
change houses.
Get a good, solid house and stick
to it. That keeps the commission man
interested in retaining your trade,
and oftentimes he will pull you out
of a hole caused by a glut. Don't
fail to carefully inspect your shipment
before closing the box.
Put in the memorandum on your
own billhead, showing the amount and
other data. Keep a duplicate your
self, thereby saving much annoyance
and frequent loss.

A Good Eco Food,

Cowpeas are not only relished by
hens, but it is excellent egg food for
them. One successful p%oultryman
gives his experience: The peas, aft
er maturing, were harvested and
stored in dry lofts, and thrown to the
fowls in scratching pens, where they
were scratched over and searched for
during the day. After a few days the
egg supply was yisibly increased and
within a few weeks almost doubled
that from an equal number Of hens
kept in separate quarters and fed On
other grains. The hens seemed to
like the small branches and leaves.
and would eat every particle except
the hard, stiff stems. The general
health of the flock was excellent, and
not a single hen showed the least
symptom of ailment during the winter
season. Considering the ease with
which cowpeas may be raised, it
seems that everyone should give them
a test as food for the poultry.
