POULTRY POINTERS

Sudden fright and excitement at
once tells on the egg crop. Never
allow strange dogs about where the
hens are.
Don't relax the care of the chicks.
They will become inactive and dis
eased.
Market the broilers and all the roOst-
ers that you don't want to keep for
breeding purposes.
Uniform products command the best
prices. Purebred fowls produce uni
form products.
When selling the eggs to the coun-
try merchant or cash buyer. insist that
the transaction be on u quality basis.
After one lot of chickens is re-
moved from the brooder house, clean
thoroughly and spray with. u disin-
fectant.
Clean up the incubator: use good
disiufectant; empty the oil and throw
the wick away. Allow the machine to
dry thoroughly before closing the
door up tight.
Regularity of feeding means much.
Those who feed spasmodically are
likely either to injure the fowls by
overfeeding or not give enough. per-
haps both The birds should have their
feed regularly.
Eggs are easily affected by bad
odors. DO not keep in u musty grain
bin. or in the vegetable cellar, or
where they can absorb the odors of
kerosene and gasoline.
Marketing must he done at the right
time and in the right manner. This
is very important for it will be the
final test of profitable poultry raising.
There should be method in marketing.
Not only should feeding be regular,
but the quantity should be ample. IT
would be waste of feed To give too
much, but enough should he given and
just enough. Surely this requires
method.
Method has much to do with poul-
try raising even where farmers have
small hocks. Just as method is re-
sponsibfe for much in general farm
ing so is it important in raising poul.

THE
CHINESE
NEW YEAR

- @REDITORS in China and like
"A wise those of Chinese in Amer
w. lea are happy with the approach
of New Year, because all old
debts must be paid before that date.
The last day of the old year in China
is sort N national pay day, and one
who fails to pay his creditors in full
Oh or before this day is disgraced in
the eyes of his acquaintances. Those
who cannot pay their debts at this
time must go into bankruptcy. The
laws in China permit Il creditor to en-
ter II debtors house and take what he
wishes if there is no settlement of just
claims. Frequently families club to-
gether and make all sorts of com
promises to retain the good reputation
nf the clan.
The Chinaman's first business on
New Years day is to offer a sacrifice
20 his gods. In homes table Is
spread with offerings of food and
drink. candles and incense.
When Cinnamon who are friends
meet on the streets for the first time
on New Years they bow very politely
and shake hands saying, "Kung shi.
liiing shi." which means ~ respectfully
wish you JOY" Frequently they add.
And may you grow rich" In making
their New Years calls the Cinnamon
are profuse in their greetings. When
the friend departs from the house he
says:
May the spirit of your ancestors
abide ever with you and the noble
home that Is honored by your pres

AT MIDNIGHT NEW YEARS EVE

The Old rear said: "In this well worn
pack
I've carried for many day
Are more than bushel OF useless things
You must bury or throw away.
There are souls SO SCARED by the fires OF
pain
'Tis best by far to conceal them
In the deepest grave that the Past can
dig"
But the New Year said. II will heal
them
The Old Year said: "You will also find
A number of broken hearts
Not merely dented or cracked. alas.
But snapped in dozen per:s.
To the junk heap gathered by Father
Time
AT once you had better send them.
For they only litter the world in vain"
But the New Year said. II will mend
them"
