KEEPING SMALL FLOCK
GOOD REVENUE FROM POULTRY
ON VILLAGE LOT.
Safe to Say That Any One With ordi.
nary Sense and Industry Can Make
Money by Raising Chickens
Feed Only the Best.

(By KATE ST. MAUR. Copyright. 1914)
With $50 square feet of ground suit
able for poultry, and devoting half
an hour every night and morning,
with an extra two or three hours on
Saturday, you should be able to add
two or three hundred dollars to your
income. My authority for this is my
knowledge of a bank clerk whose
home is beyond the city limits, who
made $500 last year from a flock OF
100 hens, and of a postmistress who
made S462, though neither of them
gave more than few hours a week
to poultry, SO 1t seems safe to say
that any one with ordinary common
sense and industry can make three or
four hundred dollars. Any sort of old
hens and coops won't do. A person
who starts with very little capital
will find 1t advisable to buy three
good birds rather than twenty poor
ones and make clean, new house,
even IL it's only by 6 feet, rather
than patch up some vermin infested
shanty. This is the time to lay the
foundation Of winter eggs and next
years profits, so II you have a flock
Of any of the popular breeds hatch
every one. But. if your flock consists
of mongrels, feed we'll and get all the
eggs you can. sell them for table use
and with the proceeds buy eggs from
some reliable dealer, or, what Is bet
ter, sell few old birds and buy a
small incubator. There Is a good lit
tie metal machine costing six dollars
which holds so eggs. Fireless brood
ers from the same firm cost the same.
Feed Only the Best.
Chicks should have nothing to eat
for 4S hours after leaving the shell.
The reason is the yolk is absorbed
Immediately before a chick breaks
through the shell and must be allowed
time to digest and pass through the
bowels before any foreign substance
is introduced or indigestion and
diarrhea will result
Commercial chick feed is the best
feed, being mixture of seeds and
finely broken corn, specially put up
for chicks. Once a day give a little
pot cheese or stale breed scaled in
milk and squeezed dry. When con-
fined to brooders vegetable material
must be added, such as lettuce leaves
or tops of green onions chopped fine.
Keep clean water, ground charcoal
and fine grit always before them and
remember, with really good birds,
your profits come in the spring from
selling eggs for Matching or for day
old chicks. Indeed, you should not
begrudge the utmost thought and care
TO your poultry in the growing stage.
for 1t is then you are building the
foundation for profitable poultry

HANDLING THE FARM POULTS
When the Youngsters Are From
Four to Six Days Old.

According to some good authorities,
little turkeys stand a better chance of
living and thriving II long wing feath-
ers are pulled when they are four to
six days old. At this time they come
out easily. No doubt this prevents too
much strength being taken from their
systems by the extreme growth of the
long feathers that hang down (almost
drag sometimes), giving the little birds
an unthrifty appearance.
When turkeys are about two weeks
old, Gays a writer In Inland Farmer,
we begin to feed them just a little
cracked wheat and other small grains
such as chicks do well on, making the
change by degrees. When feeding
milk curd we sprinkle 1t lightly with
charcoal occasionally; this helps pre-
vent bowel trouble. And once in
awhile when we are giving moistened
feed we sprinkle it lightly with little
chick grit
If you find young turkeys dropping,
the first thing to look for is lice and
watch about feeding too much. On
farm range turkey hen will raise her
flock with very little feed from the
house; just enough to keep them
tame and let them know they have a
home. The little turks won't stand
DEMONSTRATING as a chick will. They
have to have plenty Of air; won't do to
shut them in a close coop.

nine factories in any other states they
are very small affairs compared to
those which exist in Missouri cities

huge sky scrapers; by authors trying

,startle the world. and last, but not
least by laborers who. after a day of
hard work, are seeking rest, comfort
and solace.
The seven corn cob and wooden
pipe factories considered in the Fitz-
patrick bulletin gave employment in
1913 to 1923 men and youths and 81
girls and women, who drew $153,5i5 in
wages.

corn cob pipe industry, three factories
being found in Washington and the
other in Union.

Missouri "Meerschaum" pipes, are

The men and women who turn out
the pipes are highly skilled, with fin
