POULTRY PREENINGS

Sodium Fluorid. a white powder will destroy all the lice on a fowl. It is a new and effective remedy. One appli- cation, costing about half a cent a bird, does the work. Full directions for applying it are given in a publica- tion of the United States department of agriculture, Mites and Lice of Poultry" farmers bulletin sol. This bulletin also tells how to keep the poultry house free of mites.
 Set goose eggs under hens. Of the Toulouse or Embden breeds four eggs are a neStful for a large hen. Of the China or American breeds, five may be put under a large hen. The usual period for matching eggs is 2S days.
 About 130 eggs per hen is a fair avearge for the yearly egg record A flock properly cared for should pro- duce about one-third as many eggs IS there are hens during the months Of December, January and February
 Meat scraps, milk or green ground bones take the place of insects in the winter ration of poultry. Milk is es- pecially desirable and should be fed palatable but the tactic acid which 1t contains aids in digestion
 Hens can be fed corn on cob and will secure considerable exercise in picking it off. but the cobs should be picked out frequently. Feeding shelled corn in deep. dry litter is also a satisfactory way.
 Boosters fronA high-record layers are more apt to carry these qualities to then young than are hens of the same breeding. This is because in all animal life the male resembles the dam more than it does the sire and the female just reverse.
 Fine cut alfalfa or clover hay is beneficial for poultry. Vegetables po- tatoes or roots can always be fed with profit.
 One dozen eggs contain about a pint of water. It is easily understood, then, why water is so essential to the production of eggs and the maintain- ing of proper conditions in the birds body
 An egg shell is composed almost en- tlrely of lime. The bone of the fowl contains considerable lime, and also the body tissues to more limited ex-' tent Oyster shells, limestone grit or ground bone are essential in the ra- ton.

 The Buff Orpington is handsome fowl. Their rich, golden buff surface color, great size and handsome curves compel admiration.
