In the event economic reprisals are
decided on, the department Of Justice

means OF executing them.

POULTRY POINTERS

Feeding pens for the little chicks
win be necessary in order to prevent
injury TO them BY the older fowls.
You can tell laying hen as far as
you can see her. Her comb is always
bright and healthy looking.
II you do not intend to use hens for
Matching, break them up at once and
get them to laying again
When the hens are laying regularly
more food should be supplied and with
more food comes the necessity Of
more exercise.
When chicks or hens are confined In
small yards. II is best to feed little
and often In order to keep The birds
busy and contented.
Never grease the hen that is setting.
as grease getting on the shells OF the
eggs win close the pores and smother
the chickens.
Poultry yards should have shade for
chickens during the summer. II your
hens do not have shade. plant trees
for this purpose.
Make II a point to keep the chicks
busy scratching. Scatter flne grains
IN the litter, and by scratching 1t out
they win get the exercise necessary
to good health.
Don't relax feeding the young chicks
during the hot summer months. be-
cause you think there is plenty Of
grass and bugs for them. They need
more than that.
Guard against the formation OF egg
eating habits by giving the fowls plen-
~ Of lime. oyster shells. bone or sim
liar substances to insure a firm she'll
upon the eggs.
Soak stale bread Id sweet skim
milk. press out the milk as completely
as possible. and feed the chicks Also
keep coarse sand before them; with
out 1t the chicks cannot grind their
food.
Do not forget that In the compost
tlon Of an egg there is great propOr-
tion OF water, and the laying hen can
not produce eggs unless she has all
the water she wants, and at the time
she wants It.
