Hens with scaly and feathered legs should lie avoided. Some use turkey mothers, their hab its bvlng about the same. Tbe young require sanitary sur roundings or gapea and other ailments result, and they must be kept free from lice. They require roomy coops without floors, to he moved on to fresh ground twice a day and should run In outside screens until old enough to range. They are fed first three times a day.

That early duck egg, when streams abounded In fish and other life, was not a delectable epicurean morsel for the ancient quack waddled where its fishy fancy led and feasted all day on tadpoles, mullets and water skippers. and both the duck and Its product had a llshy tnste that wouldn't come off.

Every breed has Its distinctive shape, and every variety of a breed must car ry that shape to he true to the name. Muuy breed shape, and keep your birds up to tbe dot. English and German markets receive much poultry and eggs from the Bal kan states. The effects of the Balkan war were especially felt at Christmas time, when both markets were short ou turkeys, geese and eggs, and un heard of prices ruled. There is a prejudice held by some people against goose as an article of diet. Some object to picking them, others to the fat. An old, fat, strong goose Isn't an epicurean delight, and If a man gets his first taste from a greasy antique it doesn't taste for more, but if it's a smooth, milk fatted, tender green gosling that's certainly toothsome, delicious goose of anoth er color. A gamecock belonging to Alderman Schute of Hammond, 111., was arrested for licking Duke, a bulldog belonging to Michael Marlmont. The rooster fought the eop who arrested him and when arraigned before Judge Burnett rowed so loud the Judge couldn't hear himself think. The Judge dismissed the case and praised the rooster for licking the pup. Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Texas, Knn sas, Indiana and Ohio raise over 40 per cent of the poultry In the United States. Will our old blue stocking eastern states please wake up and take notice. We don't know the poultry high brow who originated the theory that Mother Hen is responsible for the white diarrhea germ and her eggs bear this microbe that kills millions of chicks per year, hut it remains for him to explain why you very, very sel dom see a case among chicks hntched as good old Mother lien only can do it Let these highbrows own up that It's an lncnbator nature fuke defect and then get to work and make a machine that won't do It. New Yorkers nre great chicken eat ers. Their last year's poultry bill was over $20,000,000. or about $1.50 per head.
