INJURIOUS HABITS OF HENS
Pulling and Eating Of Each Others
Feathers May Be Cured by A.
lowing Them FREQ Range.

sometimes a flock Of hens acquire
the habit of pulling and eating each
others feathers. In some cases they
are so bad that the flesh of the fowls
become torn and sore. and the whole
dock Is nearly naked
When they first show the signs of
this vice measures should promptly
be taken to cure them
The trouble is caused by too closely
conflning the fowls and allowing
them to be idle Where possible they
should be turned on the range where
the fascination Of chasing bugs and
eating the green STUFF will make them
forget the bad habit.
When they cannot be turned out
they should be made 10 scratch for
their grain IN deep litter. Bundles
OF wheat or oats. or sunfiower heads
may be hung up just high enough
that they will have to work to get the
seeds. Give them some turnips or
mangle beets or cabbage heads to
work at-anything to keep them In
exercise and busy. Feed them plenty
Of green food, meat, meal, beef scraps
and green cut bone.
Rub carbolated vaseline on the
plucked fowls where the feathers
have been pulled out

DOULIM NOTF('

Cleanliness Is more important than
medicine for poultry.
Plenty of buttermilk and clabber
saves buying meat scraps.
Sanitation is the great chick rem
edy. In other words, prevention.
Patient attention to the little things
is wh&k makes success with poultry.
Gull all your young chickens, keep
ing those nearest to the standard Of
perfection
Late Matched chickens need as much
care as early ones; don't think they
can rustic living
The goose Is a grazing bird, while
the duck thrives with limited
amount of green food.
For table II pays to hatch chicks
from February to November, but the
number should be limited.
II duck eggs are set under the hens
from this time On. 1t will be best to
make the nest on the ground.
Remember that fowls that 'look
alike" will attract better attention
and sell better than the hit and miss
kind.
About the best remedy for scaly
legs, which is the work Of parasites,
is an application of melted lard and
sulphur once q week
Drinking troughs need frequent
looking after In summer. Nothing like
filthy water or feed trough to breed
disease In hot weather.
Feed less corn and other grain than
you did during the winter. The birds
feed largely on worms and insects
while they are running on range.

PROFITABLE AS EGG LAYER
Brown Leehorn Hen, Six Years OLD
Stops Laying Just Long Enough
to Hatch Out Brood.

AS to the age limit of profitable egg
production there are many exceptions
to this rule. Some hens are never
profitable egg producers. while others
may be profitable for years have a
three-fourths grade Brown Leghorn
that is nearly six years old and she
has not stopped laying since early last
spring long enough to hatch a brood
OF chickens, says writer In an ex.
change. She got broody last April and
was given eggs. but she sat but few
days until she quit her nest andewas
laying again in short time She has
been almost continual layer up to
this date. and is still laying. Much
Of the time she laid an egg every
day.
The regular profit of 81 per fowl
seems to satisfy the average poultry
man. This is wrong, for no one
should be satisfied in any line Of work,

but constantly striving for better re-
suits and larger profits. Two and
three dollars per fowl Is a possible
profit and Is being attained by some
men In the poultry business today.
The secret does not lie In the fowl
or the variety, but in the human
brain. Let Us all study more care
fully the rules and principles that
govern poultry culture. Let us strive
to increase the profit in our flocks,
