'DOULIN NOIFC

A system of cleanliness in poultry
raising is desirable.
Hens must have things to eat that
contain egg-making elements.
The hen as a rule is a better sitter
than the pulIet for the incubation OF
eggs.
When mites, lice, ticks, fieas, etc.
once get a start they are very trou-
bleSOme.
Egg testers are to be easily had
from manufacturers and dealers IL
poultry supplies.
To successfully hatch chicks great
care should be exercised In the selec-
ton Of the sitting hen. ANY old hen
seldom does in these matters
Every farmer poultry-raiser knows
how much trouble It is and how liz
tie benefit it is often to treat fowls
when they are sick.
In selecting breeding hens one
should take only strong healthy birds
that conform closely TO the standard
requirements for that breed.
There are four common breeds of
geese, the Toulouse. African, Emblem
and the White China OF these the
Toulouse is the most popular and most
generally raised.
Brooding pens that contain more
than 100 chicks are very likely to
cause trouble. For 100 chicks the
proper brooder capacity is Eve linear
feet. Sixteen feet is long enough for
the outside runs

Buckwheat should be sown later

1t is often said that when the farm
er has a bumper crop the price is so
low that the total value of the crop
is below that of a usual crop, but the
abnormal conditions created by the
war and other causes have imposed a
special relationship of crop prices and
total value to the production of 1918
in comparison with 1917.
In the estimates of the bureau Of
crop estimates it appears that larger
production has been. followed by low
er price and lower total value only
for barley, cabbage, onions, and broom
corn, while larger production has been
followed by higher price and hence
by higher total value for wheat, buck
wheat, f1axseed, rice, sweet potatoes,
tobacco, apples, oranges, and cram
berries.

ton is associated with higher price

hens are Noting. Early-hatched
cockerels bring the best prices and
early layers VIII brood early the fol-
lowing spring
Contrary to general belief chicks do
not grow or thrive as well during
warm months or hot summer days as
they do earlier in the spring. Chicks
Matched early are stronger, thrive bet
ter and have the advantage of a longer
growing season. Early Matching not
only insures more rapid gains in the
growth Of chicks but has a favorable
influence on the size of the individuals
Of the flock. Late-hatched chicks rare
~ If ever attain the size OF those
Matched early.
Given the same feed, care and atten-
ton, chicks Matched in March and
April will weigh more when they are
four months old than those Matched in
May and June. The early-hatched
chick, having the advantage of a more
favorable growing season, makes
greater gains during the first four
months of its life than the late
Matched chick. During the early spring
months when the temperature is not
uniform and constant than it is dur
ing the summer. If for no other rea-
son chicks should be Matched early so
their growth will not be interrupted by
the presence OF lice, which are much
more plentiful and destructive In hot
weather than in the cooler days OF
spring.
Many farmers and poultrymen real
lie considerable money each spring

~ NE Of the foOd products
that get cheaper in the
Spring is eggs. At this
season hens begin to relay after
the scanty laying OF Winter; also

storage houses, where they may

high prices. Therefore the house
wife who has been using few eggs
during the Winter owing to their

equivalent.
Eggs have all the qualities Of
meat. The white Of the egg has
identically the same albumen
which is found. in meat products
and which builds musCle or body

egg furnishes phosphorus, iron,
sulphur and other salts. For this
reason eggs are considered almost
a perfect food.
une OF the old and still common
ideas about the white Of egg Is
that It is especially digestible
when taken raw. For this reason
invalids have often been urged to
take the raw white OF egg either
plain or beaten. etc. But the latest
finding OF science is that the raw
white Of egg Is far from digestible
