PuLLETs BETTER THAN HENS?
Enthusiasts Take Opposite Sides on
the Egg Laying Argument-Few
Good Points Given.

A question that is being debated
much at present among poultrymen 10
whether hens or pullets are capable
of greater egg production. Some claim
that, while hens lay fewer eggs than
pullets, they lay larger and heavier
eggs, and because of this fact the eggs
command a better price than those
laid by pullets. It is true that most
hens do lay a slightly heavier egg
than pullets, but in many sections Of
the United States eggs are sold with
out grading, and consequently the
smaller egg commands as good price
as the larger one.
Others are in favor Of pullets be-
cause they lay SO many eggs which.
they claim, possess a better flavor
than those laid by hens. No one dis
putes the fact that pullets are better
layers than hens.
The eggs laid by pullets do not
hatch as well as those of hens. The
chicks from pullet eggs and not, as
a rule, nearly SO strong and lively as
those from hen eggs. For this reason
it seems to be advisable to use pullets
for layers and hens for breeders.

KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
Good Results In Matter Of Laying Can
not Be Obtained If Pullets' Quar-
terra Are Dirty.

No use to expect the best results in
the matter Of laying IL you allow your
pullets to stay in dirty quarters, says
Coleman's Rural. Get busy with the
whitewash brush and the kerosene
spray and clean, clean, clean. Not
only inside the house. but the premises
all around it.
If you have fifty pullets for your
laying bunch it win take about two
hours to dust them, and time cannot
be better spent. Let one person hold
the pullets by the legs while the other
fires insect powder into the feathers
with powder gun. Get it under the
wings, around the head, neck and ev-
cry place where the feathers are soft
and fine. for there is where the mites
and lice love to cuddle and feast.
Referring to the use Of kerosene
spray, I'LL the roosts and all the cracks
around the nests and roofing with it,
for it is there the pestiferous mites
hide. You know body lice remain ON
the fowls all the time, but the mites
seek the roosts and cracks for mo-
ments of seclusion.

go right on over again until you

we not only get rid of the Quack
grass, but we also get a good deep
soil and mulch, and at the same time
we get the benefits of sub-soiling.

water or large ponds, as many be-
lieve. Just enough water for drink
ing purposes is sufficient.
l prefer the White Emboden or large
Toulouse geese, as they are larger,
more hardy, and reach maturity in
a less time. At two months Of age
they are nearly grown and full
feathered except the wings. AS soon
as the feathers are free from blood
in the quilts the geese may be
picked, and If they were Matched
early they may be picked four times
before cold weather.
The feathers obtained will soon re-
pay the cost of raising the geese
and as their keep Is very small
item, thereafter the feathers are
nearly all profit. During the past
few years geese have come to be very
popular at the holiday season and
bring prices that mean big profit.

When Matched, the goslings are

MUTTON FOR THE SICK.

Mutton juice or extract Is obtained
as is beef juice or extract. One way
is to broil a piece of meat on both
sides, then cut In fine pieces and press
out the juice in ricer or lemon
sQueezer.
Mutton Broth.-Wipe three pounds
of mutton, remove the skin and fat
and cut the meat into one-inch pieces.
Put into kettle with the bones, cover
with cold water. Heat gradually to
the boiling point and season with salt
and pepper if allowed. Cook slowly
until the meat is tender, strain, cool,
remove the fat Reheat and add oat-
meal, barley or rice, three tablespoon
fuls will be sufficient for two quarts
of broth.
Mutton Chop in Paper Bag.-A de-
licious and dainty bit of meat may
be prepared for an invalid by broiling
or roasting a chop in paper bag or a
piece of letter paper folded to hold
in the steam and juices. Grease the
paper before putting in the chop.
Season and serve piping hot.
Montana Steak.-Chop pound or
lean mutton free from bone. add 3
beaten egg. half cup Of milk. tea
spoonful of salt, pepper and a tea
spoonful ~ onion juice. make in the
form OF small cakes and broil
HroIied LoIn chops.-Remove the
superhuous fat and roll the flank
around the tenderloin, fastening with
skewers. Place the chops on the
broiler creased with mutton fat. Cook
from six to eight minutes, turning
frequently. Serve with lemon juice
and parsley. If the meat needs fat a
little butter may be added before the
lemon juice.

Mrs. Howard Wagner of Milton,

"For two months I suffered from a
bad cold, from which I could get no
relief, then I began to cough and
would cough until midnight every
night. I consulted a doctor and took.
two kinds of medicine, but without

tised in my paper, I sent for a bottle.
