ATTENTION FOR SHEEP FLOCK
Not Touch Hay That Other Stock
Has Mussed Over.

Shep are dainy feeders. They will
not eat hay that other stock have
mussed over, and they will refuse
grain taken from ratty crib. Sheep
should have a we'll ventilated shed,
high and dry. In dry weather, says a
writer in the Practical Farmer, they
should be allowed their freedom to
run out and in at their will. Nothing
will feel or show neglect as quickly
as sheep.
Place the unthrifty ewes by them
selves, and give them a little extra
feed. Perhaps they are suffering
from the greed of the bosses in the
flock, and are not getting a full ra-
ton. Oats, wheat, bran, linseed meal
and clover hay should be provided
for ewes. Dip the sheep Immediately
after shearing, and again in about
three weeks, TO destroy the ticks that
may have escaped at the first dip.

MAKE PROFIT FROM POULTRY
Much Depends on Energy and Good
Judgment Poultryman Puts into
WorlS-FeW Cases Are Cited.

No one can tell just how much a
certain person can make from a Ger.
tain flock Of fowls. A great deal de.
ponds on various conditions, not the
least Of which are the energy and
good judgment that the poultry keep
er puts into his work, says the
Farmers Wife. Gases are on record
where several dollars per hen have
been made annually for some years by
women who have produced the finest
quality Of poultry and sold it at the
highest prices for exhibition and
breeding. Many women make from
81 a hen up by producing market
eggs.
A lady in Iowa not only paid for
her farm, but sent her children to
college by taking up the poultry BUSH
ness after the death of her husband.
This much is sure, that the poultry
business has never proved unprofit-
able TO any farm woman who gave
1t a reasonable amount Of care and
applied to it one-half the judgment
of which she is capable.

COST OF DUCK PRODUCTION
Fifty to One Hundred of Birds Can
Be Raised on Almost Every Farm
at Handsome Profit.

It Is generally supposed that more
grain is required to grow pound Of
duck than to produce pound Of
chicken, but this is not the case, as
carefully conducted experiments show
that it takes from 1926 to 3.75 pounds
of grain to produce one pound Of
chicken, whereas it takes only about
3.15 pounds of grain to produce one
pound of duck
In a 1911 experiment, fifteen rum
ner ducks were Matched May 2 and
fifteen on May 6. At ten weeks Of
age they were marketed, weighing
1928 pounds and brought 20 cents a
pound. They had been fed 403
pounds of material valued at two
cents a pound, making the cost Of one
pound of duck 63 cents. Add to this
the cost of labor, etc., and the net
cost per pound is not more than ten
cents, leaving net profit of ten cents
a pound.
We do not advocate extensive duck
growing for the average farmer, but
we do say that so to 100 ducks can be
raised annually on almost every farm
at handsome profit.-Illinois Farm
ers' Institute.

JUST THROWING OUT A HINT
II Charity Fund Was to Be Given to
the Needy, He Could Use
Part of 1t.

The children of a Boston Sunday
school class had contributed their
pennies for weeks TO fund which
was to be devoted to charitable pur-
poses, and on the day when they were
to decide upon the matter of its dis
tribution each child was called upon
to express an opinion as to how it
should be spent.
The teacher explained to them that
there were several charities which
would be glad to receive the fund,
either in Boston or among the for
eign missions. She had impressed
upon them, however, that the money
might be spent to good advantage
among the sick and needy children
of their own parish. Several bright
speeches on the subject had been
made, when one seven-year-old boy
arose and, evidently bearing in mind
the teachers remarks about charity
beginning at home, said:
Il want you to know that I have
put good many pennies in that
box" and then, after some delay
