Keep One Breed Only.

The farmer should keep but one
breed of poultry. just as he keeps but
one breed Of hogs or cows. Keeping
several breeds means much additional
work and expense in building the nee

yarded poultry will not do nearly as

Rioh% Feed for Chicks.

Little chicks should not be fed too
soon. If the heat is kept just right
most any kind of sound food will do
to feed the chicks. Any of the chick
foods on the market are good If one
has not had any experience in feeding
chicks. Give them occasionally feed

that exercise is the only method to
develop muscle and make a strong.
