The father smiled and nodded, and
then Mrs. Burnett came in with her
sewing, and the conversation turned
to ELY" who was David's betrothed
and who was to spend the great day

That's the way nowadays. 4z
Perhaps" thoughtfully. "But if you
treat men like machines you'll get
machine labor. So much, no more. ;"
A merry peal of girlish laughter f1oated
in to them, followed by Mrs. Burnett's
subdued notes of eXpostulation. Il

some great joke on u.s."
David smiled in response. "Trust

You've been home three months now,

The older man groaned.

And I'm tied hand and foot, with notes

RF TWO SYSTEMS UNDER
WHICH POULTRY IS RAISED
By }. H. McFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights ReSe,vedl

This is particularly true of the larger
breeds, such as Rocks, Reds, Wvan.
dottes, Orpingtons and the like. The
feed given the smaller, or Mediter.
ranean breeds, for the purpose of pro
ducing eggs will often cause the larger
breeds to take on too much fat. in which
condition they will not, nor can thew be
expected to lay well.
1t is true that all fowls should be fed
balanced ration in order to get good
results, but the elements which go to
make up this balanced ration should be
modified or increased, according to what
breed of chickens it is given.
Larger amounts of corn and other
fat-forming elements may be fed to the
smaller breeds, such as Anconas, Leg
horns and the like, without causing
them to take on too much fat, than can
be fed to the larger breeds.
1t is best when feeding Asiatic or
American breeds to reduce the amount
of fat-forming elements in the rations.
and in its place. supply an extra allow
ance of protein foods.
What is true of the grain ration, with
reference to the different breeds, is also
true of the mash or egg laying food.
For the larger breeds, the beef scrap,
gluten meal and wheat bran may be
considerably increased in this food, while
the cOrnmeal may be reduced to a very
small proportion of the entire mixture.
On the contrary, the lighter breeds may
be given the fat-forming foods in larger
quantities, and naturally, less of the pro-
tein foods. When preparing this food
for the use of the larger bodied fowls,
the proportion of alfalfa meal should
also be greatly increased over that al
lowed the smaller birds.
In the grain ration, the amount of
corn, either whole or cracked, should be |
reduced to about one-half of one part of |
the mixture, excepting of course, in bit |
ter cold weather, when it may be one
part of the mixture; while the wheat, |
oats and other non-fat-fOrming grains |
should be increased.
OF course, the climates in which the
birds are kept governs the element of
feed to a large extent, because what
would be suitable in the South will not
answer for the North. The method of
feeding narrOws down then to a close
observation on the part of the breeder
and changes in the scheme of feeding
as necessity arises. This is imperative

The average poultryman. or rather
he average man who is keeping hens,
,ither neglects or refuses to take the
ime and trouble to feed properly; and
he result is, that when strictly fresh
.ggs are bringing a premium. his sup
,ly is very limited He will invariably

Never place ladder-like roosts in the
poultrv houses for your birds to roost
upon. nor place them in tiers. Roostss
should always be constructed on the level
and never high. They should never be
more than two feet and half above the
floor and in fact, two feet is amply
high They should be from six to eight
inches above the dropping boards.
Tiered or ladder-like roosts cause the
fowls to crowd, in their eagerness to
get to the highest point. Crowding IS
detrimental to the fowls and causes
lot of trouble, besides, the birds are
liable to become crippled by jumping
from the high perches to the floor.

Poultry Pointers.

Many persons build their poultry
houses in locations most convenient to
themselves, rather than for the COM
fort and health of the birds. The re-
suit is "a failure. In planning for the
abode of the hens, select a site which
has a natural drainage away from the
building rather than toward it. 1t will
pay in the long run.

Hints About Rations.

satons necessary to be fed to the dlr-
lerent breeds for larger egg yields,
with the result that the birds are made

Milford chronicle., 1915-08-13

Sunlight, particularly in the winter
months. is essential TO successful poul-
try raising, and for this reason, the
houses should be built facing the South.
The exposure should be left open, thus
admitting sunshine and fresh air IN
sufficient quantities for the comfort OF
the birds. Fresh air without drafts
and sunshine in the cold weather, mean
a drv house and healthy fowls.
Milford chronicle., 1915-08-13

Roosts should be made of strips not
loss than two inches broad, with the
oJoas eSL5 SLIGHTLY rounded. Never place
v5 voS7no saplings or crooked perches in the
houses for the fowls to sit upon. Think
how If would feel if you were compelled
to Law in a bed which had been filled
With Gravel or some other like substance.

Don't erect your buildings on clay
