KEEPING CHICKENS IN COLD Inexperienced Poultry Raisers Make Mistake in Furnishing Quarters That Are Too Warm. • | One of the mistakes made by nearly all the Inexperienced poultry raisers is in keeping the chickens too warm in winter. They cannot bring themselves to believe that the hen Is so warmly clad that It can live in the open like a quail, partridge, prairie chicken and other wild fowl. No one would think of furnishing warm quarters for the sparrow or the wild pigeon. Feathers are non-conduc-tors and as comfortable as furs. They are so thickly placed on the chicken that the cold cannot get through nor can the body heat get out. The only shelter that a chicken really needs is from wet and from drafts. A chicken ’ that is inured to cold weather is not so apt to get sick. Many coops are open in front, Only curtains of burlap or some other cheap material being provided to protect the chicken from stormy weather.

GEESE ARE MORE PROFITABLE

Give Them Good Pasture and About One-Half the Care and Worry That the Turkeys Receive.

If you have got tired of running all oyer the neighborhood hunting your turkeys try geese. Get a good pair of

Toulouse Goose.

pure-bred , Toulouse, or if you prefer white ones the Embdens are all right, but not quite as large. Give them a good grassy pasture and about onehalf the care and worry you would give turkeys and you will have more money at the end of the year.

Cheap Insect Powder.

An excellent insect powder may be made by following the formula given below: Take three parts of gasoline and add one part Of crude carbolic acid. Mix these together and add gradually, stirring constantly, enough plaster of parts to take up all the moisture. Stir so thoroughly that the liquid will be uniformly distributed through the plaster. This mixture, when dry, will be a pinkish brown powder, having a carbolic odor. For lice or mites,on fowls, thoroughly dust and work the powder through the feathers. On about the third day give a second dusting. This will rid the birds of all insects.

POULTRY NOTES

Don’t sell cracked or very small eggs. Grit and oyster shells should not be forgotten. You can gain two or three cents a dozen by shipping your own eggs. A filthy hen house is the best breeding place for lice and mites. If you want eggs in winter we must breed from hens that lay in winter. The idea that water Is necessary to any one who cares to raise ducks is a mistake. - s In fly season, keep netting over the egg basket, as fly-specked eggs are not Inviting. Stale bread thoroughly dried and rolled into fine crumbs Is excellent chicken food, t 1 It is time for questions about getting fowls to come down out of trees and roost in houses. Careless and Indifferent systems of feeding are often the cause of poor ihilk yields and small profits. It Is absurd tp expect pullets to lay during the early winter when they were not hatched until June or July. Eggs during the hot weather should be removed from the nests at once and placed in the coolest spot in the house, i " There should be provided plenty of fresh clean water to drink, preferably water from which the chill has been taken off. Cabbhge heads or mangles make an acceptable green feed for them to pick up, also apple and potato parings are much relished. In summer time all eggs marketed should be Infertile. Such a condition can only exist after the males have been removed from the flocks. Many beginners make the mistake of 4 ,not specializing in some way—in eg|fc, for example, or in pure bred stock. There is no reason why the 'two should not be combined.
