GUINEAs ARE HARD TO RAISE

Guinea hens are among the hardest
of all birds to breed, chiefly because
the young guinea is SO extremely ten
der They are also OF very wild
nature. and when one of them is lost
from the hen it may be counted as
lost. 1t is advisable to keep the young
guineas shut up for a few days after
they are Matched and feed them on
bread crumbs, coarse corn meal and
occasionally a hard-boiled egg, ground
fine and mixed with the bread crumbs.
After they leave the hen, if the days
are warm and bright, they are allowed
to hunt bugs and worms and require
little feeding. After they are feath-
cred out they need little care, as they
are able to shift for themselves until
the winter cuts of their supply of
food
Ia winter they must have a shelter
and be fed the same as other poultry,
but must be kept shut in when there
