DETERMINE AGE OF POULTRY
BY There Are Certain condi-
tions to Guess BY.

!: Strictly speaking, there is no posi-
tive test for the age of poultry. How
ever, close guess can be made un-
der certain conditions. For instance,
the size of spurs generally distin-
cuisines a twO-year-oid bird; yet the
writer has had young birds develop
spurs that would have done credit
to older birds. On the other hand,
he has had two-year-old birds with
spurs that were as short and rounded
as those of a cOckerel. To some ex-
tent the texture of the leg is guide,
and so Is the delicacy and freshness
Of the skin Of the face and comb. Yet
there will be occasional hens that have
youthful appearance to q remarkable
degree.
Probably better test Is the skin
of the body, that Of the older fowl
being cOarser and drier in appearance.
A pullet will show rose-colored veins
on the surface Of the skin under the
wings. Long silky hairs will also be
grown there; but after the pullet has
become a year old these hairs and
veins will disappear and the skin will
grow white and veinless.
It Is more difficult to determine the
age Of water fowls than 1t is Of other
poultry.

crease Consumption Of Fat-Pro-
ducInu Materials.

Fattening rations are not compli-
Gated or need not be to bring fair re-
suits. The principle Of fattening Is
to reduce the exercise and increase
the consumption Of fat-producing
food. If the farmer possesses a num-
Der Of small sifed-roof brood coops
such as are used for sitting hens with
chicks, these coops will be fine for fat
tening hens. Each coop will accommo-
date about five hens without crowding
and they will have little opportunity
for fighting or scratching. Feed them
three times each day from pan con-
tanning sloppy mixture Of sour milk
and corn meal and allow the hens to
eat all they will consume. After each
feeding remove the pan so that any
remaining feed will not become con-
taminated with dirt and cause the
birds to lose their appetites.

that young pullets will consume. II
is almost impossible to overfeed them,
for, unlike the hen In laying condition,
they take on fat very slowly. If, how.

they will not grow, either In size or

Later they are brought TO the United

certain financial aid to equip the blind

manly possible, have the relative who
will be responsible for the care of the
blind man when he returns home, take
the government training, side by side
with him, as Is now done by the British
and French. With this full under
standing at home of his difficulties and
possibilities, many an ambition at first
undreamed of may be fulfilled.
