POULTRY POINTERS.

Houdans, like other fowls, do their
best when housed in opeu-front Of mus
lin-frout houses They like fresh air,
and if given it, will rarely ever develop
sickness.
Get right after the winter egg problem
in order to increase your profits from the
business. Now is the time to 'Eo Your
Bit in the production of a,commodity
which is so much in demand.
Cleanliness ie next to Godliness, -
and it is your duty to keep both the hens
and their houses reasonably free from
lice aud other vermiu. If you neglect
this most important duty don't grumbls
and growl when the hens fail to produce,
no matter how well you feed them them.
Feed is one thing, but care and atten-

The Value Of The HOudan.
By J. H. MeFAUL, Jr.
(AH Rights Reset7Sdl

when quite young say three or foui
weeks, they are capable of climbing ovel
four-foot wire fence by using their feel
and wings SO hardy are the Houdar
chicks, that they have wing feathers
when hatched, in almost every instance
have tested their endurance and found
that they are able to withstand all the
hardship that other fowls can undergo
and in many cases, they thrive better.
That the Houdan is a fowl of quality
is evidenced by the fact that they COM
/ bine more good points than is found in
any other one breed. They ere of good
size lay we'll, both early and late, and
are easier to keep than than the Leg
horns or like breeds. They are heavily
featured and protected by natured from
the changeable climates of this tempera-
ture zone, besides they have defended
their great LAYING qualities in the coolest
kind of weather. There is no combs to
TO freeze.
While the Houdan is an exceptionally
good winter layer, it must be remem-
bered that they are spring and summer
layers as we'll. In fact, they are what
might be termed all-year layers, and as
a general purpose fowl, they have but
few equals and hardly a superior
Many persons, however object TO the
crest which adorns the head of the Hou-
dan but it must be remembered that
this is useful, as well as being a mark of
beauty. The crest and beard protect the
bird from the colds and drafts which so
many coOps contain, and these are the
sources Of roup among flock.
Houdans respond to the feeding of
farmers more readily than do any othet
of the many breeds, and although it is
an admitted fact that the average farmer
feeds improperly and unjudiciUusly, y,t
even under these conditions a Houdan
hen will lay around $50 eggs per year.
if fed properly, according to formulas
learned from experience, the Houdau
will lay at least 500, and oftimes 250
eggs per year.
As the production Of eggs and the
question of re3uCed cost in feeding are
the more important things to be consid-
cred today. the Houdan should appeal
strongly to oil persons who aim to make
profit from their business The Hou-
dan will undoubtedly produae more eggs.
and at less cost, than any other breed
known to fowldom. For this reason l
can safely recommend it to all who are
interested.
In order to top of" what has been
said concerning this trdly great fowl let
me say that the Houdan is noted for
many things.
They are; Hardy and robust; greatest
utility fowl of the feathered tribe beau
tiful and attractive; easy to breed to
standard requirements; quick to mature,
being non-sitters they never waste time
that can be spent in laying; natural |
winter layers; very small eaters, consum-
ng even less food than do the Leghorns |
and other egg breeds; active and alert at ]
III times; when matured will not fy, /
wen over low fences, never get excited,
Fh!ch condition causes a falling of in
.gg laying. I,
These are more points Of quality than
will be found in any other eingle breed, 1
nd these make the Houdau one Of the
'est breeds to adopt for Poultry for
'rofit.
