THE WATER VESSEL.
Chickens are certainly on the water
wagon and tlien some. This is because
water flstires so lu their comfort,
health and prowth. They must have
It to souk their food, it is such a large
constituent of eggs and flesh, so that
the wise poultryuiau will always, keep
a sufficient quantity of fresh, pure wa
ter before his fowls.
A water vessel should be inexpen
sive, hold at least a day's supply.

should protect water from dust and
tsun, be covered so chicks cannot get
Into it and fowls cannot dip their
combs and wattles into the water and
should be made so it may be easily
carried, filled and cleaned.
It is not necessary to heat the water
In winter, and with lamps connected
to water vessels there is always more
or less danger.
Warm water freezes easier than
cold. The bens prefer the latter, and

A GOOD SQUABS VZSSBL.
It is better for their digestion. We
present styles of water vessels for old
and young fowls.
On hot days water should be shaded
and should be changed occasionally, as
stale, warm drink brings intestinal
trouble to young and old stock. Place
the vessel so dirt and litter cannot be
scratched into it, and make the duck
water vessels so deep that when they
drink they may dip in over the eyes,
-or sore eyes and beads will result.
DONT8.
Don't forget that prevention Is better
than cure. If this old adage was fol
lowed to the letter, men, beasts and
fowls would all be better, and diseases
and deaths would become so few that
the doctors and undertakers would
boohoo adieu.
Don't mix salt and mash dry. Dis
solve salt In hot water, and with this
moisten the mash.
Don't feed ducks the same quantity
as chickens. Ducks grow faster and
need more grub.
Don't put ail middlemen in the cheat
class because you occasionally meet a
lick one.
Don't try to squeeze blood out of a
turnip. Sell a good article at a fair
profit and be satisfied.
Don't bleach white fowls with perox
ide. It does not remove brassiness.
but rots the feathers, and the judge
will catch you.
Don't show fowls with stubs or
feathers on their shanks, toes and
webs, when the standard calls for
those varieties to be clean shanked
nnd bliod.
Don't pull feathers nnd stubs nnd
fill up the holes with beeswax with
the Idea that the Judge will not set
the trick and not disqualify the faked

THE SNOW A 0LESS1N0.
This rim is for the follow
Who knocks about the snow.
Fot 'tint n is ungrateful
Our simple hues will show.
Snow fj(Mn(t throush the atmosphere
Cleans, purines the air,
Just Ilk the dimmer rainstorm
When a rainbow shines up thera.
8now falls down on the Browing wheat
Ami. like a blanket white.
It Keen the grains and grasses warm
And saves them day and ntttht.
A winter without snow, my friend,
Would mean no bread to eat.
No grass and hay for cattle
And of course no Juicy meat
Snow melts and waters growing grain;
It sinks down through the sod
Until below it makea o'erflow
The hidden springs of Ood.
These hidden springs an ocean form
Beneath the surface deep.
Where mid the dark caves and the rocks
The cooling waters sweep.
These help to keep tha earth's crust cool;
They till the wells and springs;
They furnish cool life giving, drink
Trt n.-mriuh llvin thillUS.
Now, let us praise Ood for tha snow
Thai blankets the cold earth.
And thank him for its beauty
And Its tremendous worth.

MORE CHICKENS SOLUTION Of
MEAT PROBLEM.
Our friends, the vegetarians, think
the joke is on the meat eaters ana
console themselves with the thought
that Americans will eventually get
down to a diet of cabbage, beans, po
tatoes and turnips.
This seems to depend on whether
people In general raise chickens.
In six years beef production has
dropped 30 per cent, over 1.410,(XIO less
cattle were slaughtered a't inspected
slaughter houses lu that time, a short
age of 7S0.00O.000 less pounds of beef.
and meat consumption has dropped
ten pounds per capita in three years.
This is ascribed to the high price of
feed, cattle ticks, hog cholera and
other diseases, the slaughter of calves
and the fact that gracing country Is
being rapidly changed into farms.
Some way must be found to fill this
food shortage.
Authorities at Washington take a
pessimistic view of the whole situa
tion. They hold no hope for an increased
or adequate beef and pork supply for
the future, but even say of poultry,
"There is, therefore, no prospect of In
crease in products of this class In
greater ratio than the increase In pop
ulation." We rather think this state
ment shows our Washington poultry
prognostlcators are in the Weeping
Jeremiah class.
The poultry census on which they
stake their claim does not fully repre
sent the poultry of the United States.
This farcical enumeration does not In
clude the millions of fowls and eggs
produced In cities, towns and hamlets
of this country.
It is restricted to farms and shows
a poultry population on them of 488.
408.304, a vast Increase, 93 per cent of
the whole being chickens. The same
shows farm eggs Jumped from 1,203.-
662.433 dozen to 1.591.311.371 dozen.
an Increase from 17 dozen to 17.3 doz
en per capita and the per capita this
year Is estimated to reach 18 dozen.
Poultry products ail over the coun
try are Increasing, and we believe here
is the solution of the meat deficiency.
Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio.
Kansas and Texas made vast advances
last year and produced 39 per cent of
the poultry crop of the country. If
other states get on the same hustle
there will be chickens and eggs to
burn.
Farm hens are said to lay but sixty
eggS per year, and at this rate tbey
reach 1,591,311,371 dozen annually.
What a vast Increase better care or a
better bred hen would make in the egg
crop! There were 5,(C5,753 United
States farms that reported ponltry.
Let these and our professional poultry
men and our town hen men just do
a little better, and the vast aggregate
of Increase will solve the meat prob
lem in short order.
FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS.
It Is not just the cold cash you get
from poultry that you count on the
profit; there's the pleasure also. This
Is well put In the words of a business
man and fancier. Said be: "I have
kept fancy poultry now for many years
and they never have failed to pay me.
Now and then when I have bad some
doubts as to whether or not the in
come was keeping up with the outgo,
I would walk down to the hen yards,
look over my best birds, study their
flue points for an hour or so, then go
back to my office and credit the birds
with $50 on account of personal pleas
ure derived from their ownership. In
this way I have managed to show a
good, safe profit every year." Add to
this enjoyment the healtbfulness of the
employment
Pigeon doctors have various remedies
for canker, and the most successful
seems to be burnt alum. This is blown
Into the mouth or throat where the
affection ts located, after the white
patch is gently removed.
The department of agriculture. Wash
ington, recently warned housewives
aoainst buying chickens stuffed with
Band. Such swindlers should be hyp
notized with a stuffed club.
Japan has about nine fowls to the
acre of cultivated ground. The United
States has about half a fowl to the
acre. China nnd Japan have offset the
shortage in beef production by n large
increase in poultry production, a trick
this country may well copy.

CONCRETE HENHOUSE FLOORS
BEST.
More and more concrete '8 be
coming the poultry house floor. The
insanitary earth and expensive board
floor are certainly not In it with con
crete when pnlerl,v laid and littered.
Our floors are never dump ami give
perfect satisfaction. ,
A few who tried concrete are p.-ssl-mlsts.
They tell us stub floors are
dump anil even that rats chew through
them. This Is coti'Tcte nonsense. It
proves their Boom were not real cou
i crete.
Put, what Is real concrete?
Ileal coucreto Is a stone-like material
composed of A No. 1 cement, clean.
sharp sand; gravel ami water, mixed
lu proper proportion, and laid by cor
rect methods ou a properly prepared
foundation.
Let It be retuomtored that a concrete
floor Is never drier than the surface
under It and, placing tar paper be
tween the layers of concrete to keep
down damp, separates the layers and
spoils the Job.
The house foundation, whether of
stone or concrete, should go below
frost line, and the space between the

walls should be dug out and be filled
with cinder thoroughly rammed and
wet before concrete Is spread on It
The first, or rough coat should be
thoroughly mixed and consist of one
part cement two of sharp sand and
four of clean gravel. Enough water
should be used to make It work easily,
and It should be packed level two and
a half inches deep on the soaked cin
der. When set so it will not move It
should be sprinkled, and a half Inch
smooth. Mulshing coat equal parts ce
ment and sharp sand, should be spread
on It flush to sill and should be a half
Inch thicker if poultry machinery la set
on It
If floor Is large a few sand cushions
will allow for contraction and expan
sion. July Is best time to lay floors
as tbey require time to dry, and when
floor breaks away well from sill It Is
sign thut they are dry enough for the
flock.
It Is unnecessary to cover concrete
with tar or with sand, but litter should
be plentiful. A concrete floor may be
sprayed wltb whitewash.
DONT8.
Don't growl. The bulldogs growl
only when there is a reason. A human
growler is a mighty poor imitation of
a dog and of a real man also.
Don't sell dressed poultry with full
crops. The feed will rot and spoil the
carcass.
Don't forget that green bone is rich
in phosphate of lime, an element of
bone and eggshell.
Don't carve a sprig or extra point
off a rooster's comb and expect It to
leave no scar nor unnatural appear
ance. Take your cut for extra points
rather than be a cheat.
Don't try to replace, broken or lost
feu titers in a rooster's, tail nor dye
white primary another color. Such an
old trick Is not slick and is seen quick.
Don't attempt to remove white In
face or ear lobe with acid. It Is cruel
and crafty, but the scar will remain
to your shame.
Don't fake at all. It Is better to
have shown and lost than make your
conscience pay the cost. A silver cup
or a ribbon blue will never make that
up to you.
Don't pout If you don't win. B(
kind to the winner nnd then go home
and break your troubles gently to the
gate post.
Don't breed from birds with bad de
fects nor disqualifications. They Will
be repeated In the offspring and often
be worse than In their ancestors. '

A PURPOSE AND BREED TO FIT.
.Many persons start out lu tho spring
to ral.se poultry for u dellnlte purpose
und miss the mark because their stock
has not the ability to do the stunt
Let it be remembered that American
thoroughbred poultry Is built for busi
ness; that certain breeds lit certain
lines and of course are a failure out
side tlu'lr sphere.
I or Instance, Itrnlimas, Cochins und
l.ntigHhaus are lu particular meat
breeds.
Hocks, IVittes and Metis are In par
ticular dual purpose breeds-that Is,
llii-y furnish a good quantity of meat
and fair quantity of egs.
Leghorns, Aucouna and their type
are egg machines, the ruee horso lay
ers, but not much for market meat
There are over UK) varieties In tho
American standard -moat dual pur
IHMie, egg breeds and ornamental nnd
the breeder must select a Variety thut'l
a specialist for his purpose or be
falls.
Cochins and Urnhnms are no fowl
for winter egg plnnts. but I-cghortu)
are.
Auconns and AndHlusians are poor
for broilers, but Dottes and Hods hit
the spot
Leghorns and Ilnmburgs are mighty
iKsir for roasters and cniHins, nut
Itpihinns. Kocks. Duttes, Cornish and
Ikirkings are lain ton.
Those who have succesled In tho
poultry business started Willi a defi
nite purpose uml bred a breed to fit tho
purpose, uml that Is tho only way to
get there.
FEATHERS AND EGGSHELLS,
A Journey through the country
shows the great popularity of the
Rhode Island Itinls. This breed was
originated by the farmers of fthode
slum!, and fanner all over the coun
try seem to naturally take to them.
There w much to draw iniin liack to
the land, but to some it Is like a
mirnge. They find farming different
when they get there. A city real es
tate agent may tell them an alluring
story, but when they buy and get out
on the farm and find bard work and
clods to travel over they find It's not
such a smooth, easy, flowery, shaded
road to travel after alL Yes, "Look
before you leap."
A poultry Journal correspondent
writes: "I am proud to say that I am
devoting my life's work to the breed
ing of poultry. I cannot estimate the
value of the health and pleasure I
have received, and the income, so far,
has been far beyond my expectations."
The poultry profession Is one of the
most respectable and needs no apology.
The American hen produces $500,-
000.000 worth of eggs annually, and it
Is claimed il0.000,000 are spoiled by
bad handling. The hen Is one of the
hardest workers In creation and pro
duces one of the finest finished food
products, and It's a pity bumans must
bungle the Job.
Fresh air la one of the essentials
to hen health, and the fellow who
shuts bis hens up In a sweat box In
winter with the Idea that he Is copy
ing summer conditions and will there
by get more eggs will certainly get
left There was a time when those
who advocated plenty of fresh air for
bens and men were called "fresh air
cranks." That day Is over.
Toultry fertilizer should have ready
sale at greenhouses. We have never
seen any other manure give as luxuri
ant growth to vines and flowers and
blooms In such profusion and blight
colors. Our crimson ramblers made
remarkable growth the past' season
due to this rich, forcing agent
Very frequently slugle comb Leg
horns that have been at show, confin
ed in the warm show room, will get
frozen combs on -return borne because
tbey are at once exposed to the cola
A little care will save them from this.
Compound tincture of benzoin is good
for frostbite. It takes out the sore
ness and glazes the comb so that the
air does not Increase the pain.
The egg records and accounts pub
lished by poultry raisers In the Jour
nals are seldom read by the subscrib
ers. While some of these may he true,
there are others like that old story of
the hen that lays an egg every day In
tho yctir.
In an experiment at the Missouri sta
tion the thirteen hard grains were used.
und It was found flu hens ate some of
each. This Is a tip from the hen that
she needs nnd appreciates variety nnd
she makes the best profit on n mixed
ration, as a trial will quickly convince
nny one who Is feeding any one groin
exclusively.
