Hills travelled from the English
channel to the Swiss border under

CACKLE In HEN COOP
is OMEN OF SPRING
Means Biddy is Preparing for
Hatching Season.

East Lansing, Mich, Feb. IA
cackle in the hen coop is almost as sure
harbinger of spring as the skipping
of Cock Robin on bough, is the opin-
ion of Prof. C. H. Burgess of NJ. A. c.
and it means, he adds, that Biddy is
preparing for the Matching season.
"Pullets and hens will before long
be in full laying" declares a press
bulletin from the department of poul-
try husbandry, eff they have not al
ready started which is the wise poul-
tryman's cue to begin preparations for
the Matching season at once. Pullets
hatched in March and April will lay
bestne winter.
Select the best winter layers and
give them plenty of room. Quarters
should be well lighted and clean with
10 to IL inches of straw on the floor to
make the hens work for every kernel
of grain they eat.
In breeding one male should be used
with every 8 or 10 females of the
heavier breeds, such as Plymouth
Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Wyan-
dottes and one male for Is to 20 females
of the lighter breeds. If free range is
provided, high fertility will be gained
in double the number Of females
enumerated above.
Feed hard grain in excess of mash.
Corn and oats make good war ration
One cubic inch Of sprouted oats should
also be fed to each hen daily, while
mangels, cabbage or other green food
is necessary for high fertility. Butter
milk or skimmilk will yield higher
fertility than meat scrap, while meat
scrap will yield higher fertility than
green cut bone.
"Two-year-old hens are better to
breed from than yearlings."

NO NEED FOR SAVING

This is a great mistake II all tie water

left, and the little that remained would
have little or no value as food. Ii, on
the other hand, the water were driven

would be left about half a cupful of the
very best substances, including butter

Since he assumed the presidency

found enigma but popular idol.
He has been leader of the radical

After that he started siashing Of
