CHICKENS GET MUCH
COLOR FROM FEED
Unless Food Is of the Proper Kind
and Sufficient the Hens VIII Not
Take on the Right Hue.

a great many people believe that
to raise good colored birds, all that
is necessary is to get the right stock
or eggs to start with and mate the
fowls properly, says the Intermoun-
tain Poultry Advocate.
How to Get Color.
You will find that to raise birds of
good color, it is but half the means
of success to start with good birds or
and rearing of growing stock. One
weeks neglect of a brood of young
chicks can and frequently does give
them such a setback that it shows
in the under color of the fowl affected
when they are grown. To feed, and
to property feed, are two entirely diff
ferent things. How many people in
the poultry business really give the
Feeding of Little Chicks" the neces-
sary amount of thought?
As soon as the little fellows are
thoroughly dry, whether Matched in
an incubator or under a hen, remove
them to the brooder or brood coop.
Supply them with some lukewarm wa
ter Arrange the vessel so they can
not get into the water. Place before
them some very fine grit and charcoal
on the floor of the coop. This viii
afford them a chance to put their lit
tie grinding machines in condition to
take care of the first feed that enters
the gizzard. The charcoal will great
ly aid in digestion and assist in avoid
ing bowel trouble. After As hours

TO use it is by far the cheapest way

to form a balanced ration, containing

the Salmon project will have more

recommends highly, especially to anna

the larger, up to a gallon, the better,
cuts one end clear out and cuts a
door, or flap, out of the other, hinged
at one side by the uncut tin. This
he places over the plant at setting,
crowded into the earth enough to
anchor it. 1t then becomes a protec-
ton against the sun, and against the
wind, which is about as had; and also
by bending down the flap, a perfect
protection against frost. Plants thus
started he guarantees to do we'll

Alfalfa Looking Better-Count

Alfalfa Looking Better=COunty
Agent w. n. Birch, after a further in
vestigation into the alfalfa situation,
declares that about twenty per cent of
it was killed by the winter, although
not twenty per cent of the area in
which alfalfa is planted will be
ploughed up as the killing was more
or less widely distributed and affected
most fields on the tract, though kill
ing only few. AS a whole, less dam
age was done to the alfalfa in the Bull
district than elsewhere in the county
Mr.. Birch's first estimate of the dam
age was twenty-five per cent killed,
but since that time fields that looked
bad are coming out
