added. The annual roast took place
on Henry Stevens place and many
Abilene people were there. About

place for the evenings Notification.
More than 80 automobiles from

Joy the celebration. Huge camp
fires were built and hamburgers and

GUlNEAS ARE HARD TO RAISE
Young Birds Must Be Watched Care
fully Until Past Tender Age-Of
Very Wild Nature.

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 few days after
they are Matched and feed them on
bread crumbs, coarse corn meal and
occasionally 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 off their supply of
food.
In winter they must have a shelter
and be fed the same as other poultry,
but must be kept shut in when there
is snow en- the ground, as they will
fly into the tops of trees or on roofs
Of buildings, and refuse to come down.
