Now, there was a Proverb which
men spake often one to another, and
sometimes | myself have used it on
this wise Wouldst thou make Rab-
bit Pie? The way is this. First,
catch the Rabbit.
And meaning Of the Proverb was
this, that with the Right Material and
a Good Start, all the Rest was Easy.
And | mediated much on this Proverb,
and considered whether it were true
for many times | had seen Good Ma
terial Wasted, and Rights Starts that
afterward went Wrong.
Now, had never eaten Rabbit Pie.
And it came to pass that friend
Of mine went Hunting, and he Shot,
and he slew a Rabbit, And he sent
the Rabbit tome. And / gave it to
the cook. even to a Daughter of the
Sons of Erin, and | said, Make me a
Rabbit Pie, for at last | have caught
a Rabbit
And the Thing she made gave me
an Ache of the Stomach, Ptomaine
Poisoning, and many things beside.
And not long thereafter the Cook
Gave Notice that she would Not Work
Longer in a Place where she Could
Only be- Out Seven Nights and Two
afternoons a Week. And She Quit.
Now on the Evening after she had
gone, Keturah, my wife, entered the
Kitchen, and sought in the Ice Chest,
that she might discover what we had
for Supper.
And on the Top Shelf she found a
Little Clipped Beef And on the Bot
tom Shelf she found Some Rice. And
on the Bottom Shelf she found Divers
small dishes with a little Something
in Each. And Keturah took them,
and she stirred them together on a
Bowl, and she put in certain Spices,
and Raisins, and Figs, and divers 9TH
er things, whereof she found One or
Two Left Over, and she put it into the
Oven and baked it.
And when we sat down to the Table,
we Gave Thanks to God that He still
had left us Food, and that we had
many things to be thankful for, even
though we had no daughter of Erin
to cook for us.
And removed the Cover from the
Dish, and | ate of what | found there
in. and a part thereof gave to Ke-
turah.
And behold, it was Delicious.
And | spake TO her and said, What
is this Savory Dish?
And she said, 1t hath no name, but
thou mayst call it Rabbit Pie.
But there were no Rabbits therein,
though there was Very Nearly Every
thing Else.
And she spak thus to me, 0 Safed,
my dear and very foolish Lord, have
heard thee say that the way to make
Rabbit Pie is first to catch thy Rab-
bit; thou speakest after the manner of
men, and thou speakest foolishly. The
way to make Rabbit Pie is, First,
Catch the Cook.
And | caught Keturah.
So | thanked God again that the
Cook had gone, and that ! still had
Keturah. For there be few Cooks
who Can make so good Rabbit Pie
with Rabbits as he can make without.
And reflected that some Proverbs
are wise and some are stupid, and
some of them are Lies.

The egg, when laid, possesses ev-
erything needed to fully, develop the
embryo and to sustain the chick Tor
two or three days after Matching. Dur
ing the first stage of development the
embryo is nourished by the yolk. 1t
latter draws most Of its food from the
white or albumen. Lime for the bones
is absorbed from the shell. Just be-
fore the chick is Matched the remain
der of the yolk is drawn i'm the alb
domen. Under normal conditions the
chick is Matched and disappears about
the sixth day. During all this time
in normal development the egg yolk
supplies the food which the chick
should have for the first two days.
Later it supplements, the supplied food
and regulates the bowels. During the
transition from embryonic to indie

should occupy the first five or six days
of the chicks life, l have heard it

Then it is best only to give them what
they will clean up nicely. Oatmeal
is very good feed to start them with.
With the first feed there should be a
little clean sand or grit sprinkled on
the floor where they are feeding, es-
pecially if it is composed of chick feed
or other grain. A good plan is to put
two or three older ones with them
while they are feeding. There may
be weak ones who will stay in the
hover. They will of course need lit
tie personal attention until they get
started. If they are raised i'm fireless
brooders they will need attention at
least every two hours in the daytime,
as there must be green food supplied
them in some way. / find they relish
nice tender grass, which is cut in
lengths convenient for them to eat
They must also have animal food.
Sine breeders give them fresh cut
bone or beef scraps, also blod meal,
but prefer beef meal mixed in with

corn meal one part.
If little care is taken in starting
the chicks in the brooder and looking
after them as to crowding and not
feeding too soon, there can be a large

Dry Mash Hopper

BY considering the following factors
essential to a successful dry mash
hopper, it is possible and easy to con-
truct one at home. The hopper should
be of large capacity, thus economizing
labor in filing. The hopper holding
from three to four bushels will not re-
quire filling oftener than once every
two or three weeks. The hopper
should be automatic in operation, so
that as fast as the birds eat the ma
terial fresh supply will come down
and take its place. Hoppers with
small throats have tendency to clog
and not feed properly. The feeding
surface of the hopper should be pro-
vided with a hinged cover, so that il
can be closed when desired. especially
at night, to keep out rats. Ii is also
important that the hoppers should not
waste the food Self-feeding hoppers
when in condition, are a very efficient
means of feeding, but if the birds
waste more than they eat it becomes
a very inefficient practice. The hopper
should be easily and quickly filled,
and it should have large feeding sur
face, so that number of birds can
eat from it at once.

While the extent of the injury var
les with the different varieties, and
with the character of the season, it is
seldom that spring passes when
peach trees are entirely free from the
attacks of Leaf-Curl.
The name of leaf curl is given to the
blistering, thickening, and curling on
peach tree foliage which often occurs
when the weather in May and June is
cold and wet. The attack may be So
severe that practically all OF the
leaves may drop, and this may result
in the partial or entire loss OF the crop
Of fruit.
Formerly it was supposed that the
loss of the leaves was due directly TO
the unfavorable climatic conditions,
but is now known that it is fungous
nature. and that the reason why 1t
only develops in cold, wet weather is
that the conditions are then favorable
for the development of the disease.
Like other fungous diseases, the de-
velopment of leaf curl can be prevent
ed by thoroughly spraying the trees
in the spring. If the application is not
made by the middle of April or even
before that date, in early seasons lit
tie. If any, effect will be secured.
In sections where the San Jose scale
is present, the so-called dormant
spray for the scale containing one
part of commercial lime-sulphur solu-
ton to 8 and parts of water will
control the leaf curl, provided it is not
delayed too long. A somewhat weak.
err application, perhaps 1-l5, will
answer when the scale is not present,
or, we may substitute solution of
copper sulphate, using pounds in 90
gallons of water. Bordeaux mixture
may also be used but it is no more
effectual than the clear solution, and
will cost two or three times as much,
besides being more difficult to prepare
and apply.
Peach leaf curl is one of the easiest
of all fungous diseases to control by
spraying, as only one application is
necessary but it must be made early
in the season, and care must be taken
TO cover all the buds and branches
with spray l.. r. Taft,

Feeding Value of Milk

Editor-What is the food value of
skim milk for chickens, compared
with grain at present prices?
Reply-The feeding value of milk is
not very high as compared to grain.
1t is, however, a very wholesome feed
and makes a very good vehicle by
which to feed damp mash. 1t will
also be very good used as drink. 1t
is rated about as follows: Protein,
2:9; carbo- hydrates of fat-forming,
SO; ash or shell maker, r. Corn:
Protein, 10; carbohydrates or fat
forming, 76.4; ash or shell maker, LIS.
Buttermilk is of more value than
sweet milk and it can be mixed with
the sweet milk, to good advantage and
used as a drink or for mixing a mash.
BY all means use all the milk you can
get for your chickens for. the health's
sake if for no other; it will pay you
in the end. You can make your own
calculations as to money value in
comparison with corn, our staple feed.

Tenants Rights to Fruit

1--WE are hired by the month for
cash rent and garden. Can the
landlord enter the garden and pick the
currants from our bushes? He has not
reserved the right to any of the con-
tents of the garden" G.
1t is impossible to give direct an
swer to your question, because it does
not disclose whether you are on the
place as a tenant or an employee, and
Just what the terms of the contract
are concerning the bushes. If the
owner has given you complete possess
sion of the land on which the currants
are growing, he is not entitled to pick
them, but if it was understood that
you were merely to have the use of
ground on which to- grow garden,
that would not carry the right for you
to pick fruit. A lease of farm,
however, entities the tenant to exclu-
sive possession of the place and en-
joyment of everything growing on it,
except as certain rights may be eX-
pressly reserved to the landlord. And
the same principle applies to employ
ees who are given house and garden
as part of their pay. In such case,
they are entitled to the products of
the garden, including fruit growing on
bushes or trees in the garden or or
chard forming part of the place.

Some Timely Suggestions

Changing incubators every time we
read of better one is poor business
and means more dissatisfaction. On
the other hand, one machine may suit
your location, condition, or PERSONAL
ity better than some other, but if you
have tried two or three, and cannot
manage any one of them, better give
it up and go back to the old hen; she
is the only incubator that is self-reg-
ulating.
Likewise do not change breeds ev-
cry time "better" one springs up.
If your has "run out" run it back.
For years you have used the early
maturing pullets and most vigorous
hens as hatchers, because they have
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1916-04-05

laid all winter and gone broody. You
have given them eggs laid by those
of the flock that were slower to do
business, the slower maturing or later
Matched pullets and the long resting
hens, and so have been perpetuating
the poorer quality of the flock. To
build up. select breeding pen of the
best and use only the eggs from this
pen for Matching.
