larder, and dragged them through
dank grass. Daily the rollcall
shrinks, and at marketing time a
small percentage remains. The re-
markable fecundity of the fowl is
scarcely equal to the inroads of
enemies and storms.
Efficiency in Guinea Raising
The efficient way of rearing the
fowl in profitable numbers begins as
early as the middle of March, before
an egg is laid, If one must depend
for brooders upon the usual kind of
guinea. The flock should be trained
to frequent am orchard or a nearby
field. This is done by feeding them
there scantily several times daily
during March and April. They will
make their nests there under hedges,
bushes, brush heaps or vines. Laying
begins during middle or last of April.
Nests can often be located by OBJ
serving guineas that feed solitarily.
The hen is laying nearby. 1t is un-
wise to touch an egg till the hen be-
comes broody. Thereupon all eggs
should be removed, preferably dur
ing her absence. The empty nest
breaks" her disposition to sit, and
she soon resumes laying, often. in the
same nest if she has had no fright
there. The eggs should be given to
Rocks, sixteen to each. Four weeks
later, the little ones hustle out of
their shells, and, true to their herit-
age of fear, creep slinkingly into
corners of the nest away from the
explorations of the attendants hand.
For the next three or four weeks
the little chaps require patient care.
They seem stupid. The hens moth
call is a foreign language they find
hard to learn. When once it Is fixed,
it is ineradicable. Guineas never for
get their foster mother. Long after
she has weaned them, som etimes for
years. they play Damon to her
Pythias. She finds their devotion
embarrassing. and hides, but seldom
eludes their pertinacity. Such
guineas make good brooders. They
roost in henhouses with the foster
mother and often lay there. Some
times they can even be trusted to
raise a brood of their own.
Care of Young Guineas
Until the little guinea and the hen
learn each other, it must not be al
lowed to roam. The chicks need
range which is hest secured by in
closing the hen in a small coop and
pen. The coop should have an
earthen floor, and the pen be grassy.
After two or three weeks the
guineas, then boasting well-feather-

GUINEA RAISING FOR PROFIT;
METHODS FOR BEGINNERS

havior is responsible for its hitherto
limited list of friends. These pc
culiarities of it's disposition account
partly for the general habit of al
lowing guineas to breed themselves.
In no other fowl does the instinct
of distrust seem so much a part of
cell and fiber as in the guinea.
In spite of this timorousness
there is both profit and interest in
raising this fowl. Except on limited
areas, it requires little feed. They
soon yield their confidence to the
attendant who feeds them regularly.
Rough treatment alienates them be-
yond hope, and their propensity for
flying makes their capture at the
proper time difficult.
The male selects his mate and
clings to her faithfully. While she
attends to the duties of maternity,
he hovers near, ready to shrill an
alarm at sign of danger. When the
brood appears he shares equal re-
sponsibility to food. shelter and pro-
lection. If misfortune overtakes the
hen, he assumes her duties.
Distinguishing the Sexes
At casual glance. male and fe-
male are indistinguishable She has
the preponderance of vocabulary.
Besides the cry of TEX" common t.
both, she sings potrack." This cry
is the only sure way for the anna
teur to distinguish the sexes. Those
acquainted with the fowl observe
the length of the bony protuberance
on the head and of the wattle-lobes,
which are larger in the adult rooster.
OF the White, Dove and Pearl,
the latter seems most popular. The
flesh of all is dark and gamey, but
that of the white. or of the white
crossed with pearl. is a shade lighter.
1t is believed that their habit of fly
ing at the least excuse and their
feeding among the fields contribute
to the game favor. In fact, the
guinea seems a link between the
distinctly wild and the placidly tame
fowls. A newly pearl
guinea is the replica of a baby par
fridge, except in size. Markings,
coloring and contour are identical.
There are two methods of raising
these fowls, both of which must ac-
cord with guinea nature. BY one
like Topsy-- they just grow; grow
wild, fearful. distrustful. They cost
no board bill. but when old enough
for shipment are as wild as birds.
They view traps with suspicion, and
are bagged only by a sure shot. Their
mother, having no convictions re-
garding damp feet. has gotten them
up betimes on dewy mornings in her

The most popular and probably
the widest known of all American
breeds of poultry is the Barred Ply
mouth Rock.
Early in the history of pure bred
poultry in America the Shanghais.
Chittagongs, Black Spanish. Games
and Dominiques were the only pure
bred varieties known. Many crosses
were made from them, until an ac-
tual type of shape and color was
agreed upon, about 1878, known as
the "Great American Mongrel."
1t is generally agreed that the
present-day Barred Plymouth Rock
is descended from a cross of the
Dominiques and Black Javas, the
latter a fowl of Asiatic origin. Ply
mouth Rocks became widely popu-
lar. being especially adaptable and
profitable. Almost every farmer in
the country bred Plymouth Rocks.

rapidly and make excellent table
fowls at all ages. They are good
foragers and will give satisfactory
results, even under conditions that
are not the best.
AS fancy fowl the Barred Ply
mouth Rock has many admirers. 1t
is difficult to produce good speci-
mems without patience and consid-
erable application to breeding prob

Barred Plymouth Rock males
weigh from eight to ten pounds; fe-
males from six to eight pounds.
Their evenly-ba plumage is
striking and beautiful. and the fowls
in fiocks are exceptionally attractive.
They have demonstrated for many
years their worth as a farmers fowl.
They do we'll in confinement and
should furnish a plentiful supply of

For Skin BLotches

There is one remedy that seldom
fails to clear away all pimples, blotches
and other skin eruptions and that
makes the skin soft, clear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, which generally overcomes all
skin diseases. Acne, eczema, itch, pim-
pies, rashes, black heads in most cases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, clean, easy to use and
dependable. 1t costs only Csc; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. 1t viii not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe for tender, sensitive skins.
