MAKING THE HENS LAY
20. -
EARLY MATCHED BULLETS
SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.
Fowls Should Be Supplied With
Plenty Of Sharp Grit, Charcoal
and Oyster sheIIs-AiI Feed
Must Be Kept Whoiesome.

(By e. KNEELAND, A~gricultuFist and
Farmer)
Copyright. 19l4.)
With eggs selling at so cents a dcz-
en-, the poultry raisers who can per
suade their hens to get briskly to
work and add to the weight OF the
egg crate are the ones who are going
to add to their bank account.
The early Matched pullets and the
hens hat were helped through their
mott by feeding them linseed meal and
plenty of meat scraps are the ones to
encourage and push along. If the
poultry house is not provided with at
least one open window, covered with a
muslin curtain, take out a window
sash and put a curtain frame in its
place. Cover the floor with dry earth
or sand about six inches, spreading
owe it six inches of straw, meadow
hay or leaves. Clean the roost daily
and sprinkle with dry earth or fine
coal ashes, but never wood ashes, as
they release the ammonia in the drop
pings.
Keep a good supply Of sharp grit,
charcoal and oyster shells before the
birds constantly. and all feed must be
clean and free from sourness. Never
underfeed hens, for they W get too
fat to lay; they fatten because they
don't lay. A hen should have enough
to sustain her and suffic surplus
to convert into eggs. There are two
methods of feeding-the dry and the
wet mash. For the owner Of a small
flock, caring for his WI birds, the
cooked mash is good. The grains
used are the same for both mixtures.
the difference being when wet mash
is ready table scraps ara added and
the whole cooked by pouring on
enough boiling water to make a nice,
crumbly mash. Then spread a sack
over the bucket and leave it to cook
for the evening meal. Dry mash is
safer where hired labor is depended
on, as there is no danger of its souring
and upsetting the birds digestion.
Feed this in hoppers, where access
may be had to it all day. The follow
ing mixture is excellent for either

Poultry as Food.
Although not as many varieties OF
poultry are in common use in the
United States as in Europe. and al
though eggs form perhaps the most
important part Of the total poultry
industry in the United States, enough
birds are raised and sold for theiI
flesh to make poultry an important
item in the list Of foods, says the de-
partment OF agriculture. Chickens
are, of course, far the most common
Of the kinds Of poultry. Next come
turkeys; then ducks and geese, fol
lowed By capons and squads. the other
varieties. such as guinea fowl, pleas
ants and quail being least common CT
all.
In raising birds for the market spe-
cial fattening has not heretofore been
practiced in this country with any
thing like the same frequency as in
Europe; but American breeders are
gradually coming 10 il more and more,
especially on the large poultry farms
which are springing up in many places.
The extreme methods used so much
in France are not, however. consid-
cred advantageous by most American
breeders.
Live poultry is very commonly mar
keted, especially in the southern
states, where it is the custom TO I'LL
a short time before cooking, but, con
sidering the country as a whole. it
is doubtless true that the dressed
birds are marketed more than the
live, and the buyer must depend
mainly on the appearance OF the skin
and flesh to tell him how fresh the
bird is, and whether it has been prop
erly dry-pIucked or plunged into boil
ing water to make the plucking eas

The methods Of cooking poultry arr

AS regards composition poultry does
not differ as much as is commonly
supposed from meat of other domesti'
animals used for food. Individual
kinds and specimens. of course, VAR

favors in poultry which differ from
those in other meats. But these diff
