not only treat me cruelty at home, but

sonal nature. Why don't wait until the

fertile ones Then, too, there is the cost
of maintaining surplus males At a
time like this only the producers should
be kept Nonproducers should be con-
signed to the block as meat As soon
as the breeding seaso>. is over, "swat
the rooster" Keep only enough young
cockerels for the next breeding time
Remember that a hens temperature is
1861 and mans $3.50 Therefore 1t is
plain that they should not be housed
alike.
Too much sunshine is just as bad as
not enough. If the yards are without
natural shade, such as trees or shrubs,
artificial shade must be provided. Boards,
an old awning, canvas or burlap sacks
can be improvised nicviy.
Water is worth just as much as feed
in egg production The hen can't max"
an egg with either one alone. Moral:
If the hens food bill is worth $l.50 a
year, that price, also, is the value of the
water bill. Think this over, the egg is
about rs per cent water.
There are two general systems of feed
ing ground grains, commonly known as
the wet mash and dry mash" sys-
TENS. The virtues of each are discussed
in next weeks article.

the train be held up, the locomotive en-

water is equally abundant; proper food
consists of a reasonable variety of nutri-

ground meals; the opportunity for exer-
else does not mean giving flock access
to a large field, not yet large yard,
though these are best where feasible.
Chickens can be made to exercise on the
floor of their house, in deep liter, into
which the scratch grains are thrown for
this very purpose Or, an automatic
feeder can be installed, which is designed
to induce exercise. Perhaps this is not
so desirable as range in an orchard but

The fondness of raccoons for green corn
leads them into frequent danger, for,
when bottomland corn tempts them away
from their usual haunts, raccoon hunt
ing with dogs at night becomes an espe-
cially favored sport. Raccoons are re-

interesting and amusing pets.

The easiest and most practical method
of eliminating the waste that occurs in
the garbage can is to reed 1t to a flock
of chickens Large acreage is not re-
quired. The opportunity is open to every
one with a backyard or small plot of
| ground. With a small amount of intelli-
gent care fowls can be reared success
fully in close confinement. All that Is
necessary Is to give them sanitary quar-
tiers, fresh air, proper food, water and
an opportunity to exercise.
What could be simpler than the above?
Sanitary quarters is matter of clean
illness; fresh air is abundant. and merely
requires that it be given entrance to the

TABLE SCRAPS NOT GARBAGE

The idea of feeding garbage to flock
of chickens may intrude on the SENSIBLE
tiles of some, though it is deemed a COM
mon practice with pigs The idea, how
ever, is more apparent than real. We
prefer to use the term table scraps"
anyhow, since there is difference be-
tween the two. Celery tops and the tops
of beets and other vegetables, the outer
leave of lettuce and cabbage, vegetable
parings, stale bread, ends of meat, left
overs of cereals and sour milk are none
the less edible because they are such.
They have lost none of their value as
food, except that they no longer appeal
to the human taste. When fed to a
flock of chickens, they are greatly rel
ished
The fact that table scraps are a mix
ture of odds and ends gives them their
chief value, which is a balanced ration.
Properly fed and by that we mean fed
in a sweet wholesome condition, there
is no better food in the world for poul-
try. Fowls fed on table scraps invaria-
bly, do better than those given a single
grain ration. The reason for this is per-
fectly plain, the fowls system, like the
human taste, requires <ariety No one
article of food will maintain health and
vigor For a small backyard flock the
! table scraps from the average household
should supply half the food required
With the addition of a neighbours table
scraps, who, perhaps, is unable or I'M
willing to keep a flock of fowls, almost
| the entire bill-of-fare can be furnished.
