KIND OF POULTRY BEST
 ON THE GENERAL FARM


 ON THE GENERAL FARM The hen, first and last, is the main dependent for increasing the supply Of white meat and eggs on a farm, but she requires the aid of turkeys. guineas, geese and ducks, just as on a@dairy farm, the COW requires the aid of pigs, Sheep and goats The setting of the standard at 100 hens per farm is safe, but no such arbitrary standard can be set for the other kinds of poultry, say the poultry specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture.
 The small farm, with grain fields Of neighboring farms in proximity to the barn and dooryard, would, perhaps, be better without turkeys. The farm through which no streams run and which has no large pond would perhaps be better without ducks. But the circumscribed farm on which turkeys would be dis advantage may be well supplied with streams and ponds so that ducks would be unusually profitable. and the farm that has no streams and ponds may have large range for turkeys. Each farm family will have to determine for itself what poultry can be proftably kept in ad- dition to 100 hens, bearing in mind al ways that an adequate number should De kept of all the kinds fer which free range can be found

 HENS EAT THE EGGS
 Egg eating sometimes becomes se- rious vice. fowls becoming very fond Of eggs when they have learned to eat to fowl. It usually begins through ac- cident by eggs being broken or frozen. Be careful to see that this does not happen. See that the posts are prop erly supplied with straw brother nest ing material and have them darkened, so that if an egg is accidentally brok- en the fowls will not be likely to dis cover 1t- supply plenty or Hn1e III the form of oyster shells, bone, or similar substances. to insure firm shell: As soon as it is discovered that a fowl has formed the habit the fowl should -be removed in order to prevent the spread of the vice. Once formed. it Is difficult to eradicate and the safest remedy Is the death penalty.
 Fowls sometimes pluck feathers from themselves and from. each other. which is often caused by too close confinement by the presence Of insect pests. or by improper feeding When some of the fowls of a flock have formed the. habit slightly, 2 wide range with a change of diet. including a plentiful supply, of animal feed. and freedom from insect pests will usually correct the evil. Above all, see that the fowls have, plenty of h. ducement to exercise. If the habit be- comes we'll formed it is very troublesome and may necessitate the Killing. of some of the fowls in order to stop it. Y
