When a poultry keeper grows his

BY doing so and by selecting as breed

poultry keeper maintains in his flock

CHICKENS TAKE FIRST PLACE
Some Reasons Why They Lead In
Scheme Of Poultry Production
Utilize Much Waste.
prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture

prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture
Chickens, in any general scheme of
poultry production, of course must take
first place. They are best adapted to
general conditions, take wider range
of feeds and convert them, perhaps,
with the greatest margin Of profit.
Chickens, better than any other class
OF poultry, utilize table scraps and
the general run of waste from the
kitchen door, all the way from apple
and potato parings to sour milk. Chick
ems far surpass all other kinds of poul-
try in salvaging waste grain from the
stables, from the shed or lot where
the cattle are fed, and from hog pens.
During the winter months on farms
where any considerable number of live
stock are Kept, the hens would take
their living from these sources with
only slight additional feeding from
time to time. Chickens are great de-
.stroyers of insects, including many in
furious forms, in yard. pasture and
orchard. They utilize also many
grasses and weeds, and seeds from the
same, that would otherwise be of no
use. Except in isolated instances the
part of wisdom would be, undoubtedly,
to keep more chickens than all other
kinds of poultry combined, but there
should be, in a majority Of cases, some
of all the other common kinds Of poul-
try.

The sergeant shrugged. 1t was plain
from his expression that he could not
account for such a desire. Another
night is coming" said he.

CHAPTER XIX,


Row Cobo Stood on His Head.
All that day, or during most OF 1t, at
least, Rosa and o'Reilly sat hand in
hand. ObliviOus Of hunger and fatigue,
impatient for the coming OF night,
keyed to the highest tension. Now they
would rejoice Historically, assuring
each other of their good fortune, again
they would grow sick with the fear of
disappointment. Time after time they
stepped out of the hut and stared ap-
prehensiyely up the slopes of La Cum
bre to assure themselves that this was
not all part of some fantastic illu-
sion; over and over, in minutest de-
tail, Johnnie described what he had
seen at the bottom of the wen. He
tried more than once during the after
noon TO sleep, but he could not, for the
moment he closed his eyes he found
himself back there In that pit upon the
ridges crest, straining at those stub
born rocks and slippery timbers. This
innctiOn was maddening, his fatigue
rendered him feverish and irritable.

When two turkey hens with broods

than calomel and without gripping or

you will feel weak and sick and nau-
