Poultry Pointers


Fowls kept In clean henhouse are
more likely to be free from disease.
A little practice will enable one to
dry-pich chickens and fowls and those
so picked will usually bring better
prices.
As the chicks grow older and larger,
be sgfe that they do not overcrowd
their coops. for If they crowd at night
fhdy will not make the best use of their
fooR and win not grow as they should.
Grit and oyster shell should be in
!. Guided in the ration for both young and
old. To neglect this would be poor
economy.
To finish fattening turkeys give them
all the whole or cracked corn they will
eat two or three times day.
Now that the poultry cannot obtain
bugs and worms in the fields, the need
Of animal food must be supplied by
beef scraps, fish meal or cut, fresh
bone.
Spoiled grain and shrunken grain, al
though it can be bought cheaper than
good grain, Is usually more expensive
to feed, because 1t has so little food
value In 1t.
There is no advantage in keeping
males in the flock of layers until the
hens are mated for the breeding sea-
son next spring. In fact, they are usu-
ally a disturbing factor.
1t Is always better to pen pullets sep
arately from hens and feed them sep
arately because the pullets usually
need more food to complete their de-
velopment and start them laying.
Feed variety of grain, including
corn, little wheat and some oats, if
possible, and the feed will cost less in
proportion to the eggs produced, for
fowls cannot do well on one kind of
food alone.

Spending Money Relative
Matter Whether It's Buying
Peanuts or a Private Car

The spending of thousands without
thought Is probably not so different
from spending dimes and coppers
when you get used to II. The man
who makes half a million over night
In war babies probably feels much the
same when he blows $4,000 at lick
as you do after you get your envelope
and take home bag of peanuts to the
kids. There is kind of glow Of sat
isfaction in being able to spend a
dime. As for the loss Of the money
neither you nor the millionaire will
know the difference by Monday MORN
ing. 1t is all relative matter, says
a writer.
Just the same, 1t must be sensa-
ton the first time you do as the man
did who breezed into the Pennsylvania
railroad Office In New York one day
last summer and ordered a private
car to take him to San Francisco. OF
course, the Pennsy gets similar orders
every once and so often and they are
not In the habit of becoming excited
ABOUT IucIl.
But this was a little out of the
ordinary. because no private cars were
to be had, and when the prospective
traveller was so advised he seemed TO
feel somewhat as commuters do when
the incoming fall time table drops the
fast summer train. In other words, he
appeared to be annoyed and he showed
ii by ordering the railroad folk to buy
him car.
They did that little thing to oblige
and 1t cost him some S20,000--but 1t
was worth 1t. He didn't have to
worry once between New York and
the coast about getting up and giving
perfectly good, comfortable seat to
lady.
