POULIRY NOTES

It takes coaxing to get fowls to eat food they are not accustomed to. Keep a box of dry bran where the hens can have access to it. When pullets start, they usually lay eggs irregularly for a' while. Bowel trouble is oftep suspected with, turkeys when It is nothing but worms. Mature guineas taken to a strange place are very apt to stray off. Every farm should have a few geese on it. • With poultry it-is better to have quality than quantity, if we cannot have both. It is not impossible to; get winter eggs. What one has done another, can do. I Leghorns are delicately adjusted , machines, and it does not take much to upset them. -, r.> mb* ■ l ßoup and many otbnr poultry wash the hands well after handling gick fowls. | J
