mzmmmsmmm J KINGf * ^ if I The Poultry Yard. The way one keeps his fows is generally the way the fowls keep him. The day of crossing breeds is a thin$r of the past. We now have utility pure hreds. Work up a strain of hens that will lay. Save the eggs from the best layers and set them. The fowls that are small for their a,re should >ro now. Their room is of more value than their company Hens drea'i t<? set into dirty nest boxes. They won't do it if they can help it. Why don't you see to this, right off? Never change to a new breed simply because extravagant claims are given. It is better to try to improve the old ones. No one can consistently be a fancier and a marketman at the same * time. The branches are antagonistic to each other. The experienced poultry ma 1 breeds only from his best winter layers. It is then when prices are at their best, and profits are to be counted upon in the poultry business. ?>tari irom ine irapiifsu> so mai n 4 can be known which are the best winter layers. Almost any old hen w\ll lay in spring and summer; it takes a good hen to lay in lite fall and winter. This is a good season for disposing of all the surplus old hens. Better g^t rid of them while they will fetch a good price as roasters. The prices are good up to about November 20. It is a too common practice to inbreed. Don't do it. It is easier to secure good cockerels now than it will be later in the season. Get them now 4 and you will have them when needed. Laid in your stock of dust yet for winter? Don't forget it. Neglect is one of the-worst enemies hens have ?almost equal to lice. Try to avoid * dampness in your houses; sure to bring disease, A good coating of whitewash on the intide of each house will help considerably in getting rid of ver. \ . min. Take several inches of dirt out of the lvuses and replace with new. clean earth. J Rake up the litter and rubbish that Jiave accumulated in the runs, and then spade or plow them up. If there are double runs to each house, sow one of ihem in rye for winter green .feeding. Don't delay the sowing of rye much longer. Do not allow the pullets to roost in the coops where they were raised. The cooler th? weather the more i :n mey win crow.i. mey win sunn from the here, and when let out these cool mornings are apt to take cold, and roup is the next thing on FA i WEDNI <.. c ?
