SANITATION OR RUINATION.
Kllth isii'l just tilth, and the tad
amell Isn't the worst of It. Filth
menus iniiltiplyiia; microbes, and with
poultry that means tuberculosis, chol
era, enteritis, white diarrhea, turkey
blackhead.
Filth is the hret.tler of Riiptnvorms.
tapeworms, round worms nnd the
scaly let,' pnnislte.
A hen can't roost above dropplmrs
und breathe the poisonous air without
detriment, nor can tender chicks und
turkey poults sleep In filthy co"tis or
run on filthy pound nnd live or normal
ly develop.
Feed and water contaminated with
filth are killers.
This is an iif-'e when the word sanl
tary has become ordinary. Sanitation
Is preached everywhere.
Sanitation ns applied to poultry, i
vounit nnd old, means keep the house (
they live nnd sleep In clean, keep the j
,,..u..ii iimr ..lit nml drink from clean.
keep the Kroiind on which they eat and
run clean, and keep the fowls them
selves as far ns possible free from ver
min. Such preventive measures, coupled
with pure food rtj-'titly fed to vigorous
stock, insures maximum success.
Great mortality anions chicks Is
nearly ulways the result of neelect of
one or more of these promotions. We
have seen parties buy liltrh priced ews
from most vigorous pure bred stock
and raise the worst of culls from the
hatch because they raised them on the
hoc pen plan, hut of course the fan
cier who sold the eKK was blamed.
Many people keep flocks that don't
pnv because they think It doesn't pay
lo take time to treat them decently,
but if anything is worth doing at all
It Is worth doing riht.

FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
Iluve you noticed many fanciers noil
thirteen ef-'fis for a settlnK and guar
antee a lucky hutch from the thirteen
und consider thirteen Just the right
number to set under a hen? Vet If
these snuie fellows net show coop 13
or arc nsked to hike room No. 13 nt a
hotel, most of them quickly get cold
feet. Funny, Isn't it?
Not counting feather beds, we bun
dred , million Americans pillow our
heads on 11 bout liuO.OOO.ooO pounds of
feathers every night. These fenthere
wear out nt the rate of about 20,000,
imm) pounds per year und that much
pillow sttitting must be renewed every
year. Now, we ought to gather that
quickly from the millions of fowls eat
en in this country, but no, we AmetT
tins are such frenzied feather flnnn
lers that we throw millions of pounds
f feathers 011 the dump and go and
import vast quantities from foreign
countries Hotter call the fool killer.
"Home was not built In a day.''
That's a sentence from your old school
graiiiniar, lint it applies to tunny proj
ects today. You can't expect to build
up 11 big poultry business and make
big money the first year. Whoever
heard of a mlllloiin Ire poultrymau?
Did you? There's nmney In tt, but not
n million unless you break the record.
Pennsylvania has tunny big Leghorn
farms along t tie New York line. These
hip their eggs across to those cirg lov
ing New orkers, wno are so stucK on
while shelled e'gs that they pay from
" to 7 cents extra for them.
Michael Bowley of Powers I.nne,
Mil., claims to have America's oldest
hen. it wns given him when he was
1 liaby and is twenty years old. A
hen of such antiquity need not fear
that she will go to chicken heaven by
the cook pot route unless she belongs
to a preacher.
Fowls of breed shape mid standard
size are only produced year after year
from pure bred, healthy, vigorous
stock Strong eonstit utlon Is the foun
dation of strong reproductive power
and is only achieved by careful breed
ing for n term of years
The statement "All stock nnd eggs
sold only from the farm" Is appear
ing In many poultry advertisements.
Yes. farm raised sto.-k and eggs cer
tainly have the bulge on what Is pro
duced by the city lot canary cage plan.
A well grounded knowledge of the
poultry business, willingness to work,
a fair amount of working capital and
ability to buy nnd sell are the chief
requisites for successful entry Into the
