Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 150, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 July 1918 — “DONT'S” FOR SUMMER [ARTICLE]

“DONT'S” FOR SUMMER

Don’t keep cocks through the summer. It is a waste of feed and a menace to good eggs. Don’t keep early moulting hens through the summer. They are certain to be poor layers and to consume feed for which you will get no returns. Don’t fail to provide the laying hens with plenty of clean water, plenty of fresh air and plenty of shade. Doii’t allow vegetable culls to be thrown- in the garbage can. Feed them to the flock and convert them into eggs. Don’t fail to put the chickens grown at home on the home table. Give the family the benefit of good eating and save easily transportable meats for the armies overseas. Don’t fail to preserve at least one case —30 dozen —of summerlaid eggs for horns use this winter, when egg prices will be high.
