DURING EARLY WINTER
Fowls on Range All Summer Should
Be Turned Out In Yards for Elk
ercise on Pleasant Days.

Consider that the birds which have
been on the range all summer will
miss the abundance OF fresh air,
during the first weeks of confinement
and turn them out in the yards fori
exercise every pleasant day, allowing
them to stay there as long as they
wish, and while they are out take the
opportunity to throw open AL the
doors and windows, to obtain thor
ough ventilation and to purify the
house. II there is no scratching shed

over the floor.
Above all things see that the floor
is dry at all times, particularly II it
is an earthen floor. II It gets too,
damp this will invariably mean a bad
cold. Then see that the food consists
of as great a variety as possible.

ATTENTION TO LATE MATCHES
Must Have Proper Feeding and Care
to Mature Before Cold Weather
Give Birds Free Range.

What is demanded by the late
Matched stock of all kinds is the PROP
er feeding and care to mature 1t before
cold weather arrives. That all of the
birds will mature is out of the ques-
ton II they are compelled to shift al
together for themselves on the range.
They will grow some. it is true, but
they will not grow as rapidly as they
should If they are to reach maturity
before winter appears. To induce q
rapid growth, the young birds require
good feeding and housing at all times
This Ices not mean that the late
Matched pullets should be penned up
and fed all the food they will consume.
Rather, they should be encouraged to
forage every day when the weather
permits, SO that they nay derive tha
exercise necessary to keep them in
good physical condition. But in on

GARBAGE NOT GOOD FOR HENS
Anything Average Restaurant Cannot
Use Is Questionable Food for
Fowls or Swine.
tBy NJ. *. BOYER.)

A poultry book recommends that
those living near hotels should ar
range for the garbage, stating that in
1t there is such a variety of food that
1t will be of untold value to hens.
The fact is that anything the aver
age restaurant Will refuse t tumble
up for their customers Is questionable
food for either fowls or hogs.
In the summer this refuse, when re-
moved once a day, is unspeakably foul,
and the one who removes or handles it
needs the nose of a scayenger.
Fermented and decaying refuse from
such places is dangerous, even to
handle. In this garbage is often
found pickles, sour cabbage, tainted
meat and other stuffs-even including
coffee grounds-ft only for the ma
nure pile.
We cannot be too careful about what
we feed out to stock. Fowls should
have perfectly sound food or they will
not enjoy perfectly sound health.

WINTER RATION FOR TURKEY
Only Sufficient Food Should Be Given
to Keep Them In Healthy Con-
dition-Water Twice Daily.
CBy c. E. BRoWN.)

- j..
During the winter season the stock
turkeys should be fed and watered
twice a day. Only sufficient food
should be given to keep them in good
healthy condition. When winter is
over it is advisable to feed them a
small amount of grain each evening
to encourage them to return to their
roosting quarters and thus prevent
them from wandering away with other
flocks. The following ration is a good
one for the turkeys: Mix equal parts
by weight of corn or barley, oats and
wheat screenings, and in addition to
this green food should be supplied
once a day. For this purpose mangels,
cabbage or clover leaves are the best.
Grit and water should be supplied at
all times.

WHITE CHINA GEESE PLEASE
Boom Predicted for Breed Like Pekin
Ducks Had Several Years Ago
Feathers Are Abundant.

Many persons believe that White
China geese are going to have a boom
like Pekin ducks had some twenty
five years ago.
Their feathers are very abundant,
of s~wan's-down texture; snow-white,
with flexible quilts. People who pick
the live geese report the yearly yield
of one pound and over.
This originated in China, where for
centuries they have been bred to lay.
They begin to lay at six months old.
They are good breeders at one year
old, they mature so early.

1t is often stated that eggs laid in
early spring, while the weather is
cool, have better keeping qualities
than eggs laid during August or even
September. This seems hardly prob

they are laid. then put away: in water
