Sential to success, and grains which
arc in poor condition should not be
fed. Old grains which are hard are
better than new soft grains, especially
for pigeons with squads. Good wheat
screenings are often fed with success
Clear drinking water, grit, broken
oyster shell and charcoal should be
kept before the pigeons all the time
Salt Is fed In various forms, and a
supply Of this material is generally
considered essential. Salt may be fed
in lump form, such as rock salt or
fine salt moistened and baked into q
hard lump. without danger of the
pigeons eating too much.
Pans Of water should be provided
daily except during the winter. They
should be used only about twice q
week during the winter.
Age for Marketing.
Squads are fed by their parents
until they are marketed, which Is usut
ally at from three and half to four
and half weeks of age. They must
be sold about this age, as the period
during which they are ready for mar
ket rarely exceeds one week. Squads
are in good market condition when full
ly feathered under the wings, which is
usually about the. time they begin to
leave their nests, and if not killed at
this time they soon lose their baby fat
and their flesh begins to get hard.
Catch the squads to be marketed
in the morning before they are fed by
their parents, so that their crops viii
be empty. Squads are usually killed
in the same manner as poultry by cut
ting the arteries in the back part of
the roof of the mouth and piercing the
brain, but IL sent to market without
plucking they are usually killed by
wringing or breaking the neck. The
latter is done by pressing the thumb
against the place where the bones Of
the neck join the head, until the head
Is dislocated. In sticking, the squads
are hung by their legs on nails OF
hooks. with their wings d0uble-locked

ENEMIES OF POULTRY FLOCK
imperative That Steps Be Taken to
Guard Against Attacks Of Rats,
Weaseis and Minks.

Since the removal of timber from
most of the country, hawks are no
longer bad about the poultry yards. 1t
Is against rats, weasels and minks that
great care must still be taken. IL
there is possibility Of Il chance, by
poor walls and had foundations, these
enemies of fowls will dig under or
gnaw into the houses and coOps.
If the houses or outside cOopS are
made of good lumber and set on con-
crete foundations and floors. and the
doors made to shut tight, the poultry
housed in them IS quite secure. 1t is

and floors.

Fowls may also he freed from lice

should b. exercised to protect the fowl
from taking coils after dipping. Dip
ping Is not used very extensively. Blue
ointment is Frequently recommended
as a remedy for lice. \ piece the size
of garden pea should be thoroughly
rubbed into the bird, around and under
the vent
Several Applications Needed.
Several applications of any remedy
are necessary to Kill the young lice as
hatchcd. Birds should be busted two
or three times during the summer at
intervals Of week.
Not only should the hens be well
treated, but the hen house-the home
of the hcn-should have a thorough
hOusecIeaning Droppings should be
removed at least once week. The
nests and r0OStS should be sprayed
often with such coal tar disinfectants
as carbolenium or ZenOleum to insure
cleanliness.
Do not allow little chicks to occupy
diSinfpCted cOOpS for at least "A hours.
The fumes arising from the applica-
ton of these coal tar products will
Kill the young chicks but will not be
sufficiently strong to injure the old
hens.

Most fowls are afflicted with lice.
While few may not injure the bird,
a great number may cause constant ir-
rltatlon and possible death This con-
slant irritation causes the bird to ap-
pear drowsy and unthrifty, and later
to stop producing.
Lice may be readily found where
bodily temperature Is warmest, under
the wings and near the vent On
young chicks the lice may appear first
on the head, causing it to become
bold. Prompt treatment of such cases
with vasellne aud lard prevent spread
ing Of the lice.
Fowls should be busted regularly to
prevent lice from obtaining a foot

The hen pigeon usually lays two
eggs in three days before she starts
to sit. If more than two eggs are laid
1t Is advisable to remove the extra
ones, as a pair Of pigeons can raise
only two good squads at one time. The
period Of incubation of pigeon eggs Is
about seventeen days. Both the male
and female pigeon sit on the eggs, the
male usually relieving the female dur
Ing part or most of the day. Pigeon
eggs are usually fertile If the pigeons
are healthy and properly fed, espe-
cially when they have free range. One

Its nest mate, 1t may be advisable to
sort the squads in the nests, making
the pairs as uniform as possible in
size and age. They should usually be
changed in the nest, however, before
they are ten days old, at which time
their parents stop feeding them on

fixture called pigeon milk, produced

''scntial that the pigeons have plen-

rearing squads if rapid growth Of the
young is to be secured. Pigeons usu-
ally feed the squads shortly after they
themselves are fed and should not be
disturbed at that time, thus making
it advisable to water them before they
are fed. Care should always be taken
lot TO brighten or disturb pigeons or
squads any more than is absolutely
necessary. If the parent birds die the
squads may sometimes be removed to
