Cottonseed meal 1-5 Linseed meal , old process 1.1 Gluten meal 1. Wheat bran , coarse 0.5 Gluten feed l-j Wheat middlings , coarse 0.8 Wheat middlings , line 1.1 Mlxe l wheat feed O.G Cornmcal 1-5 Oats I-2 Rye bran 0.6 White Feathers In Brown Leghorns. The subject of white feathers in Brown Leghorns is quite : ih exhaustive one. There sire many reasons for it besides heredity. It often occurs when the parent stock showed no trace of it. The appearance of white is no sign of Impurity , but it is a very objectionable feature , as it is a disqualification ac cording to the Standard of Perfection. The fact that chicks show white docs not indicate that they will when ma ture have white feathers , though they may. Egg Eating Hens. Egg eating Is one of the worst habits that fowls can acquire , and it is al most Impossible to break them of It. This habit Is generally acquired during the -winter or early sin-Ing and is due to close confinement aud lack of some thing else to do.Vhere fowls are kept busy continuously this habit is un known. All nests should be placed as much In the dark as possible and plenty of china nest eggs supplied. Food For Ducklings. Stale , .bread moistened and mixed with sand makes a good food for young duclcs. Cornmcal can also be given. After three or four weeks they can be fed cracked corn. Animal food is not absolutely necessary , although n certain amount will assist the growth. Selecting Eggs For Hatching. One should be as careful iu selecting eggs for hatching as in selecting par ent stock. Choose medium to large eggs , as nearly perfect in shape and color as possible. Uniformly colored eggs look much better than a mixed lot and Avlll usually sell better. Some select the short , round eggs , believing these will produce a large percentage of pullets , but the shape of the eggs has nothing to do with the sex of the chick. Continuous selection of the roundest eggs will gradually produce a strain of hens that Avill lay round eggs of Imperfect shape. Barley and Rye For Fowls. Barley and rye are both excellent foods and will prove a satisfactory ad dition to a ration where the fowls will eat the grains readily. Some flocks seem prejudiced against barley and do not eat it readily , while others -will re fuse rye unless starved to it. Rye is eaten .much more readily v/heu fed in the bundle. When the fowls can 'scratch it out of the fresh straw them selves they seem to enjoy it. / ! Cull Out the Poor Birds , tnll out all undesirable stock birds. If trap nests are used during the full , winter and spring it will be found that Iu. each flock there are several indi vidual hens that do not quite come up ! to the standard set either they arc I ; ? . poor layers or they lay eggs of an un desirable size or the color of their eggs Is not uniform. Such birds should now be taken out of the pens and marketed ns roasters. $ " Ventilate the Coops. The coops for summer chicks should be well ventilated and the chicks' par asitic enemies kept in the background. There Is a time between the disappear ance of the downy coat and growth of the llrst feathers when the chicks need protection from the hot sun that fairly blisters their little bare bodies.

You want to see the storekeepers prosper , and the banks bulge with deposits , and the townspeople - people wearing glad clothes , and the farniers falling over each other to come in and .buy new hay rakes and patent plows. Of course you do. Because - * cause , likewise of course , when things are that way you cct ; vour share of the K O > general prosperity. But what are you doing to contribute to the . general prosperity ? Are you patronizing home industries in preference to outside industries ? Do you buy your clothes and groceries and gar den tools and so forth here at home ? Well , you admit , 3011 do send away for a good things 3011 happen to sec advertised. Aha ! And are they advertised in this paper ? I o , indeed in the mail order journals and catalogues. Quite true. And you would just as soon buy them here if they were advertised by the local merchants , wouldn't 3011 ? Why , 305. Well , now , there's a neat hint to some of our local store keepers and dealers who perhaps haven't discovered why they are losing a lot of home trade which they ought to keep. It's a wise business man that knows his ov/n opportunities. - , , , 3LEG5-AIL NOTICES. Contest Notice. TJ. 3. Lanii OrBee , Broken Bow.
