A Si., Forest Grove. d e p o r tm e n t d irect to Talks on Feeding. Scatter half the grain in the litter in the morning and the re mainder early enough in the afternoon to give the fowls time to scratch it all out before dark. Or, the grain for the morning feed may be scattered in the litter just after dark in evening and will be ready for the fowls to go to work on bright and early in the morning, givin g the attendant an opportunity to give other mat ters his attention in the morning with the assurance that his fowls are busy scratching out their breakfast. When the litter becomes soiled and damp, which will depend upon the number o f fowls using it, it must be replaced with clean material. I f feeding as suggested in this department two weeks ago, give each dozen small hens £ pound o f wheat twice a day, keep the hoppers filled with the dry mash, and the grit, shell, and charcoal, a little vegetable food each day, plenty o f clean, fresh water in clean vessels all the time, and your fowls will pay you a handsome profit. The idea seems to prevail in some places that a constant use of condiments and spices will cause the hens to lay regardless of what and how they are fed. A healthy fowl does not need any stimulsnt other than what is found in good clean food, and the con stant use o f pepper, both black and red, mustard and ginger etc., is not only unnecessary, but positively injurious to the digestive organs. You must furnish the hen with the proper ingredients in the proper proportions for making eggs if you want her to do her best in egg production. You wouldn’ t put skimmed milk into a churn and expect to get butter because there are no butter forming elements in skimmed milk. Then why feed a hen with fat forming and heat producing foods and expect her to make eggs o f it? I have tried to make m yself clear on this subject, but in clos ing, I wish to say that if there are any points that I have not made clear, I will be glad to furnish any reader o f the paper any specific information desired. Find below a table showing the digestible proportion o f digesti ble elements in some o f the commoner feeds, from which you can make up a balanced ration from the material most readily obtaina ble.

Q. Is it true that chicken rultes are like certain lizards that can change their color according to the object they are on? A. No. They are light gray In color, except when filled with hen blood, which shows red through their skin and gives them the name red mites. Q. 1 had very poor success with geese last year. My stock was young, not overfnt. henlthy and mated early. A. Young geese are generally unre liable breeders. They should at least be two years old when mated. Q. W hy is It so many people fall In the poultry business? A. There are not more making failure o f this busi ness than In other avocations, and those that do not succeed generally fail because they do not learn the de tails and demands o f the business be fore they enter It. Q. My cock pheasants nre eating the eggs. Please tell me how to prevent this. A. Pheasants generally do this when eggs are exposed. As nesting season approaches yon should place bundles o f brush around In the cor ners. leaving room enough behind for the hen pheasant to hide her nest. Scatter some small china eggs around for the cocks to get fooled on. Q. At what temperature should I run an Incubator to hatch duck eggs? A. First week. 102 degrees; second and third. 103 degrees; Inst week. 101 de grees. Q. Do you run your poultry plant by any o f these advertised systems? A. Not if the system Is a get-rich- quick, nature fake gold brick. Our business Is run on a sane plane a la nature. Q. Which breed o f fowls has the most perfect lacing? A. The Senbrlght Bantam. Q. What difference la there In the color o f a Columbian Rook and a Co lumbian Wyandotte? Is It true that Buff f.eghorns lay better than White Leghorns? A. No difference. Laying capacity depends on the strain, not on the color. Please remember when you hutch and raise fowls that juu are dealing with flesh and blond. There's a big difference between raising chicks and pumpkins, but squnshheads can't see it. Rank ground is a very common cause o f poultry diseases, and how seldom some cultivate or renew poultry yard soil. Better send a chunk o f your hen- yard to a bacteriologist. Maybe that's where your chicks got gapes or hens caught cholera last summer. A Williamsport (Pa.i fancier hearing a rumpus at night in his henhouse grabbed a shotgun and ran for the hennery. A thief on watch shot him and ran Into the coop. The hero stag gered Into the pen. engaged the first thief and his pal and after a fearful battle killed both. Strange to relate, the man's w ife locked him out, he was not arrested, nor would any one go near to Identify the dead thieves. They were skunks. A 5.000 egg incubator was set and so timed to hatch at the Philadelphia show that the visitors could see chicks breaking the shell and emerging by thousands. There were 5.000 entries, and on some days 5,000 paid to see them. "Back to the soil!” is a sermon preached by some cushion pressing city farmers that they ought to put to practice, it would tie amusing to see them put their hot air theories into practice, and If they didn’t get a crop out o f the ground the first season they might reap some old style common »ense. The poultry business is on the Itoom and has created a profession that Is sane, scientific and satisfactory. It’s as respectable as any. pays better than many and. in (ruth.
