seed treatment is not entirely effect

control gives the better results because
some Of the chemical adheres to the

P0RRIDGE FINE FOR POULTRY
Combination Of Table Scraps and
Kitchen Waste Run Through Meat
Grinder 10 Favored.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Table scraps and kitchen waste are
best prepared for feeding by running
them through an ordinary meat grind
er. After the material has been put
through the grinder 1t is usually a
rather moist mass. and 1t is well to
mix 1t with cornmeal, bran, or other
ground grain until the whole mass as
sumes a crumbly condition. The usu-
al method is to feed the table scraps at
noon or at night, or at both times, as
may be desired. in trough or on
board. All should be fed that the hens
VIII eat up clean, and if any of the
material is left after one-half or three
quarters Of an hour 1t should be re-
moved. II allowed to lie 1t may spoil
and would be very bad for the hens.

Every consumer who has sufficient
backyard space may reduce the high
cost of living to certain extent by
maintaining small flock Of poultry.
The product of such flock. both In
the form of eggs and fowl for the ta-
BILE, may DO obtained at low cost be-
cause CT the use of table scraps and
kitchen waste.
Ordinarily one of the general-pur-
pose breeds, such as the Plymouth
Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red,
or Orpington, is preferable to the
smaller egg breeds, as the former fowl,
on account of their larger size, make
better table poultry, while the young
chickens, for The same reason, are bet
ter adapted as fryers and roasters.
However, IL the consumer desires eggs
only, one of the lighter egg breeds,
such as the White Leghorn, will be the
best for him to maintain. No matter
what breed is selected, 1t Is advisable
to keep poultry only Of some pure
breed or variety.
Number Depen6s on Space.
The size of the flock depends upon
the space available and the quantity
of table scraps suitable for feed. Do
not overstock and do not overcrowd
the yard. Fowl do best where they
have plenty of room and sufficient
food. For a flock Of 20 or 25 hens, a
yard space of not less than 25 by 30
feet should be provided, as 20 to 30
square feet of yard space should be
provided for each bird.
1t is advisable for city poultry keep
ers to procure well-matured pullets In
the fall, so that they will begin to lay
before cold weather sets in. An mex
DeifsiSe. coz1Eodious, and comfortable
house should be provided, with 3 to 4
square feet of floor space to the bird
although some poultrymen report good
results where the allowance is only
2h to 3 square feet Often an un'
used shed or small building in the
back yard can be easily converted into
chicken house. Satisfactory shell
ters can be made from piano boxes oI
packing cases by purchasing small
quantity Of 2-by-4 or 2-by-3 lumber fol
framing. The box boards can be used
for siding or sheathing, and then car
be covered by roofing paper

fine and well mixed. Reserve n half
cupful OF this mixture and add the wa

enough to take the half cupful well

the center. then ends to the center. and
cut In halves. Roll out the under
crust, add the filling and put on the
thinly rolled upper crust. This method
gives very fiaky crust with less than
the usual pastry.
Mothers Apple Pie.-Fill the pre-
pared pastry shell with sliced apples,
add two or three tablespoonfuls of wa
ter and place the top crust. Bake and
then carefully with sharp knife cut
around the crust and remove the top.
Add sugar, spice, tablespoonful OF
butter and replace the top. This pie
will never run over and lose its sweet
ness on the oven bottom.
Fruit Ple.-This pie is best made
with fresh fruit, but cupful and n
half os currants, raspberries, blueber-
ries, or, In fact, any kind that has
been put up uncooked will do. The
recipe calls for one cupful Of crushed
fruit. one cupful of sugar, two table
spoonfuls of -four, the yolks of two
eggs and little salt; put into the
shell and bake, covering with me-
ringue made from the whites. The
shell may be baked, the fruit cooked.

Drowned and the pie is ready to serve.
Either method will result In gooe
pie.
Ethereal Apple Pie.--Bake eight
large tart apples and put them through
a sieve, chill, then add three-fourths of
cupfui OF sugar and the whites OF
five eggs beaten stiff. Add a pinch OF
salt to the eggs when beaten. Add to
the apple and bake in n buttered pud.
ding dish. Serve with cream and

for those who cannot enjoy pastry.

ordinary orange box with partition

some, when occasionally 1t is neces-
sary to cover the top of the yard, also,
with wire. If hens show tendency
to fly over the fence which has no
top, the flight feathers of one wing
should be clipped.
Keeping Feeding Cost Low.
The city flock should be fed as
cheaply as is possible and consistent
with the steady flow of eggs. AL ta-
BILE scraps, kitchen waste, leftover
vegetables, beet tops, turnip tops, car
rot tops, potato peelings, onion tops.
watermelon and cantaloupe rinds, cab
bage leaves, lettuce leaves, bread and
| cake crumbs, and meat scraps are
keenly rellshed by the hens and should
be devoted to egg and meat produc-
ton. Usually 1t is necessary to pro-
vide some supplementary grain for the
use Of the backyard flock during the
winter. although some owners do well
without purchasing any grain at all.
This, Of course, depends largely on
the amount and variety Of table wastes
available.
Often 1t is inadvisatle to attempt to
renew the city poultry flock by hatch
ing and rearing chicks or by buying
and rearing day-old chicks. Previous
experience In the raising Of chickens
usually increases the chances Of sue
cess. Generally the land available Is
usually small in area and no attempt
should be made to raise chicks unless
a plot of ground can be provided sep
arate from that to which there is grass
or where a supply of green feed can
be furnished. Under average .condi-
tions, where the yardage is limited, 1t
is preferable to Gull the hens as soon
as they have outlived their usefulness
and to replace them by well-matured
pullets in the fall.
Thus the keeping of roosterless and
chickless flocks can be successfully
carried on and the ultimate purpose
of all such fiocks satisfed-the reduc-
'.tlon Of living costs.
