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.

If 3011 do , of course
you want to see the town
grow. 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.
