Made Sawdust Valuable.

Not many years ago the sawdust
that accumulated each spring about
the local mills was nuisance to the
mil!-owners. 1t was in the way. Some
of 1t was dumped into the streams and
fish were eXterminatcd, and some was
given away to anyone who would make
use of 1t. And about the only use that
could be made of the sawdust was that
OF packing for ice In the ice-houses.
The expansion of dairy farming
called for more ice, and more ice chilled
for more sawduSt. The demand noti.
fed the mill-owners that the bv-prod-
act of their mills, which they hnd be.n
giving away and throwing away, had
commercial value. Sawdust is now
sold by the load.

Overlooking kills more chicks than
anderfeeding.
Little and often is a good feeding
rule for newly Matched chicks.
Eggs for incubator Matching should
be fresh, the fresher the better.
This is the time OF year when poul-
try quarters need to be made safe from
rats.
Ducklings should be ready for the
green duck market at from ten to
fourteen weeks of age.
A good, well-regulated incubator will
batch eggs with far more certainty and
do it more cheaply than can be done
with hens.
Much of the trouble often found in
brooding chicks is due alone to feed
ing too early, or in excess during the
nrst few days.
