How a Noted Poultry man Contrive* ta
Koap the Pestj Away.
It Is very good advice, says the Prac
tical Fanner, that giveu by Henry Van
Dreser, tha noted poultry expert and
lecturer of Schoharie county. N. Y.,
when he says: "We clean our roosts
every Saturday. After the droppings
are taken off we put on South Carolina
phosphate rock, which we buy by the
carload, and it absorbs the moisture,
and this gives us a fertilizer that Is as
touishlug. A beu will produce a bushel
of manure a yeur. This moans a bet
ter farm and better crops. Just as
soon as the roosts are cleared we paint
them with a mixture made as follows:
Take a pound of carbolic acid crystals
(you can get that for 4U cents), put it
In a crock and set it In a pan of warm
water and let It melt; then pour the
contents Into a gallon Jug and All It
np with kerosene; then take another
gallon of kerosene and put about four
tablespoon fuls of that combination
Into that gallon of kerosene. And I
want to say to you that, with South
Carolina rock as au absorbent under
the roosts and a wallowing box, with
Just a little care every Saturday you
will never see a louse or ittite on your
premises. We are very particular. We
tight the lice before they are born.
That Is the best time to tight them."
English Type of Whito Langshan.
The English people may not be quite
as "rapid" as Americans in the matter
of adoptlug changes, but they have a
hardheadedness about many things
that one cannot help admiring. For
one thing, they have never been won
over to the idiotic American theory as
to the breeding of the once valuable
WHITE LAN06HAS.
Asiatics. The English people persist In
rearing the long, rangy fowls which,
when they were first brought to this
country from Asia, won the admiration
of every fancier. The illustration
herewith shows the English type of
White Langslian, which is what the
bird ought to be. and is not merely n
big bunch of feathers as would be the
case were the same quality found In
the United States.
Fanr.ie Wood's Poultry Talk.
The early bird gets the worm that
causes gapes. Better keep the chick*
up until the grass dries off these morn
ings.
Don't forget that the chicks thut are
producing their first feathers require a
liberal amount of wholesome food and
grit.
The warm weather brings lice, and
lice and healthy chicks will nut trot in
the same harness.
The most desirable location for the
mother hen and her brood is where
they cun have their fre? choice of ei
ther sunshine or shade.
"Is It necessary to wash soiled eggs
when the sitter breaks an egg?" asks
a beginner. Yes, my friend, this Is a
needful task and one that must not be
l>ostponed. The pores of the eggshells
must be clean to admit the oxygen
which the developing embryo needs.?

Good Dry Grain Mixture.
Fifty pounds whole corn or a mix
ture of cracked aud whole corn, with
thirty jounds wheat and twenty
pounds or either oats or barley, makes
an excellent mixture for feeding as a
scratching f<'od in litter, or as a regu
Inr allowance in the feed box or trough.
!n feeding the dry grain mixture allow
a medium sized handful to each bird.
Weight of Buff Rock*.
A Buff Plymouth Rock cockerel ?ught
to reuch the standard weight of eight
pounds by the time it Is eight to ten
months old. Pallets should reach the
standard weight of six and a half
pounds by tbe time they have reached
laying maturity, which Is usually wliN
six aud a half to seven months old.
Turkeys at Mathers.
The turkey hen cannot well cover
more tluiii twenty-one eggs. If possi
ble. have a brocdy ' en ready to take
the surplus, so that they will hatch at
like same time, aud then give ail tha
young to the mother turkey.
Beit Soil For Poultry Farming.
X dry, light soil Is always preferable.
The land should slope mainly to the
?outh or southwest Some breeders do
fairly well on a damp soil, but It Is bet
ter to take no flak.
