Experience of a Chicken Faneier.
Mr.. R. M. Sherer Of Sharon, is fond
of chickens. He likes to raise them.
to protect them from disease and the
like, to watch them grow and develop
and to keep them true to strain. He
probably knows as much about chick
ems as any other man in the county;
but he does not parade his knowledge
In any way or devote himself to the
sele Of extra birds at long prices. His
habit Is merely to try to produce the
best possible fowls, and he usually
disposes of his surplus chickens and
eggs either for home consumntion or
selling at the established market
nrices. for ordinary products. While
Mr.. Sherer was in Yorkville the other
day, a representative Of The Enquirer
got him to talking about chickens, and
he gave some facts that ought to be
of interest to chicken raisers at least.

year after using everything the family
wanted for the table without stint, /

and $50 worth Of chickens-$49 worth

pretty hens as you ever saw, and two
roosters. AS to what have been out

exception Of 81 worth Of commercial
stuff for the little chicks, all that /
gave them was Of my own raising"
