Mrs. T. r. Griffin. Dallas, Ga.
We want to form a poultry ASSOC
citation in this county, with the OBJ
ject in view Of holding a show next
fall and get you to come over and
Judge it for us. Now, as we are very
new in such matters, we want to
know If you could give us any hints
to help out, or tell us where we can
get some literature on county shows.
We will appreciate any help you can
give us.
Bought a Prairie State incubator
from a party near here (who has
only used it one Year, and have it
set now and find that 1t certainly
holds the temperature all right.
ANSWER.
The way to organize your poultry
association is to call a meeting, and
try to get everyone who is interested
to attend, and if you have sufficient
attendance you can organize a regu-
lar association elect your officers,
and get ready for business. You could
have q regular club and charge from
81 to 81 annual membership dues to
the club Above all things, elect a
good, wideawal1e secretary, as on him,
largely, depends the success Of the
association.
I do not think will judge any
shows next season, and If so, only
four and they will be in different
sections of the country. However, I
thank you for writing me, and II
can assist you further, do not hesi-
tate to call on me.

Oats AS a Feed for Fowls

~ ECENTLY 1 have talked
~ with quite a few people,
IN also received quite
number of letters, in reference to
the feeding of oats to fowls, and
some of those who, have been
feeding oats report bad results.
1 have said a number of times
that there are few feeds that are
better than oats If fed in the
proper form to both young and
old fowls, especially in the grow
ing stock and laying hens, but
a great many people, who have
never had any experience along
this line, have fed the average
oats that have been grown in the
south, most OF which have
beard. This beard is almost
like needle, and will stick to
the intestines If fed dry and win
eventually tear up the digestive
organs of the chicken so that
they rarely ever recover If oats
are fed continually.
Any one who contemplates
feeding oats, or has oats on the
farm, should be very careful in
this respect. Bearded oats
should never be fed to fowls dry
unless they have been soaked or

ANSWER.

If your chickens appetite required
the oyster shell, you may rest as
sured that they would eat it. 1t is
possible that they are getting some
thing that takes the place of it, and
that their systems do not require it.
Chickens, as a rule, eat only a small
amount OF the shell, but should have
it where they can get it at all times.
They can swallow large pieces of the
shell, as large as the end of your
thumb, and it is not necessary to
have it crushed very fine, except for
the Young chickens.
