Mix the potatoes with a little cold
milk into a paste and roll out into

frying pan and put in the cake, COW
ering it and allowing 1t to cook. When
one side is brown turn, and a little
more butter and brown the other side.
Drain the cake well and garnish with
parsley and serve hot.
For potato duchess, select mealy

From the early part of August until
the end of October the year-old stock
is going through a period of prepare
ton for the coming winter by getting
rid of the worn and old covering and
acquiring a beautiful new one. a
slight molt is also experienced by
come young pullets that have been
Matched very early in the year. The
only time we have ever had chance
to observe this, however, was in the
case of six Plymouth Rock pullets
that were Matched in February. These
began to lay in the latter part of Au-
gust, and while they went through a
slight mott in the last part of oc-
tober, this mott was so gradual that
1t did not seem to affect the egg yield
to any noticeable extent. Other ex
periences that we have heard of differ
from this and the above is probably
the exception rather than the rule.
Generally speaking, it appears that
pullets Matched earlier than the first
part of March will go through the mott
in October and November and may
not resume laying until late in Jan
uary. Therefore, it would seem that
old hens or April and early May
Matched pullets are the most desired
for early winter laying and for breed
ing purposes.
Regarding the heavy molt which
happens after the pullet year. several
tests have been made from time to
time to see If this molt could be
forced" SO that the hens would re-
sumo laying at least in November. In
,azssNrcin the melt, the general p1aal II
to starve the flock for a period Of
from four to six weeks and then feed
heavily during the remainder Of the
period. 1t has generally been found,
however, that the fowls will mott al
most as quickly under normal condi-
tons as they will II forced.
1t is not generally known that the
time for a fowl to complete its molt
extends from about so days lin the
pullet year, to over 100 days (for the
older birds). Therefore, II yearline

gust she will not have her full plum
age until about the middle of Novem

date for the mott to commence and in

ing and two o'clock in the afternoon.
Until well feathered, the young
Guineas are delicate and tender. II
is not advisable to hatch before June.
The Guinea cock bird cares as much
for the young as does the hen, guard
ing them during the day and hover
ing them at night.
The male bird is larger than the fe-
male, is more aggressive, and has a
different call. The hen makes a
noise sounding like Come back,
come back" while the male gives
Tick, tick!" The cry of the Guinea
is one of warning to the rest of the
poultry, and they at once hide until
the alarm ceases.
Guineas do not scratch like other
fowls, and therefore are safe to have
in the garden, They should be given
their freedom, as they do not thrive
in confinement.

GUINEA FOWL is
MOST DELICIOUS
Cross of Pearl and White viii
Produce Carcass Resem-
bling English Grouse.
CBy MICHAEL X. BoYERJ

The Guinea hen is a good layer, but
OH account of the wild, gamey flavor,
the eggs have never had an extensive
sale for table use. However, by turn
ing the eggs into broilers or roasters
a considerable profit will be derived
The flesh is the nearest substitute we
have for the wild game.
The Guinea is of q rowing DISPOSE
ton, and one Of the best known de-
stroyers of insects.
The laying season starts in early
April and continues until October, the
hen laying as many as 100 eggs in a
season. In the early part of the sea-
son it is not advisable to let the
Guinea hen hatch a brood, as she is
of too restless a nature, and will not
give her young the proper attention
But after the first Of July, on account
of the warm weather, she will be
more quiet, and can be safely entrust-
ed with a brood.
1t requires four weeks to hatch out
Guineas. The hen always hides her
nest, and that, too, in some very OBJ
scure place. AS it comes of the nest
It gives a shrill cry, and in that way
the hiding place can be detected All
the hens of flock are apt to lay in
the same nest, and in taking away
the eggs they should not be touched
with the hands, for If the hen discov-
ers that the nest has been touched
she will desert 1t and hunt another
place. But if the eggs are removed
with a stick she will not leave the
nest, even though the eggs are taken
out nearly every day.
1t is claimed that a cross of the
Pearl and White Guineas will produce
a carcass closely resembling that OF
the English grouse. If rightly cooked,
the meat OF even an old bird will be
tender and delicious, while that Of the
young bird is unsurpassed as broil-
ar or frier The dressed Guinea has

some cases the hens do not begin till
the last part of October or early in
November. When such a late molt
takes place the time for the complete
mott is generally not much more than
two months.
Since it has practically been proven
that forcing of the mott is not effect
i've, except in few individual cases,
it would seem that the only thing to
do in this period is to take as good
care as is possible with the flock SO
that the fowls may finish their molt
in the best health. 1t will be under
stood by anyone that the shedding Of
feathers and the building up of the
new covering is a strain on any fowl
and while the owner is getting al
most no returns from his flock this is
the time when their feeding should
be most carefully watched. The usual
habit is, however, to neglect the flock
during this period simply because they
are not giving good results.
One of the best recommended mix
lures to be fed the flock during the

Hopper mixture-Corn meal lbs,
wheat bran 2 lbs, wheat middlings 3

This latter mixture was used by the
Cornell experimental station in tests
along these lines.
Our general opinion is that more
thought should be given this question
of melting, and that careful attention
should be given flocks at this time.
The days when so eggs per year per
hen would be considered sufficient
have passed and 1t is remembered
that we now throw out the hen with
such a record and even criticize the
100-egg hen; we should also remember
that the results we expect cannot be
reached unless we give the flock the
best care that we possibly can and
consider no details too small to be
! overlooked in the daily routine.
