IN POULTRY Make the Back Yard a Source of Pleasure end Profit ' Only a Small Area is Necessary for a Family Flock of Hens By I. K. KBTSEIt Bradr, Fan el sr and Author Coprrlfht 1' "Start matt and grew tors," it Iht nine utuaUy given the beginner w poultry mlture. It iff good advice, yet there are thou who have not the space nor inclination 'a keep large ftockt. They want a few hent jj a tide line and for recreation, a family fork to supply eggi and meat for the home table, and perhaps, add a httle to the family income. ' ' THE beginner should start with purr bred stock. The initial expense wil be a little more than for mongrels but it will cost no more to raise them, the return will be larger and the satisfac tion greater. When the start is made in the full or lute summer it is no doubt best U use mature fowls, purchasing a trio oi pen of the chosen breed and raise the . clwks from them in the natural way. After Januarytlst it is not economical to purchase fowls, as breeders will have their pens am ted for the season and will not take out Rood birds unless they can secure a high price for them. In the spring the start is best made with eggs or baby chicks. If eggs are the choice purchase one or mors sittings and as many broody hens; the latter can be secured of farmers or poultry keepers, who are usually glad to get rid of them at a small advance over the price of market poultry. - They need not be of pure blood, but should be of fair lie, so as to take good care of the eggs. Decide on the number of hens you will set and place an order for eggs, with the understanding .they are to be shipped as soon as you notify tbt seller your bens are ready. Care of Sitting Hens When the broody - bens arrive, have warm nests made in rather deep boxes. Fill the boxes part full of earth or sifted foal ashes and after hollowing out the nest cover it with plenty of short straw, hay or other nesting material. Tbs nests should be in a well-protected place, if the weather is cold. A small inclosure should he built around it and in this a supply of food and' water kept. A convenient arrangement for sitting bens is a brood conn with wire-covered yard, such as are sold by poultry supply dealers. The nest ia made in the coop part and feed; water and a duitt unlh are in the yard. Put the hens on the nests at night, and as soon as they have settled down to the business of sitting, order the eggs. If they sit on china eggs for several days, awaiting the arrival of the hatching eggs, it will do no harm. After they have learned to corns off and go on the nests they will require no further attention save to see that they are supplied with feed and water. When the hatch comes off, the aest can be removed and the coop carried cut on the lawn where the hen and chicks are allowed to occupy it. After the Mucks are weened the bens can be used as wanted for Sunday dinners, and in that way will fully repay their first cost. Home prefer the incubator to hens, even for hatching a comparatively small number of chicks. A small incubator is not very expensive, and eggs from pure bred fowls an often be secured of neighbors at a nominal cost or at a slight advance over the price of market eggs. Be particular shout the quality of the eggs you get as on them will depend the result; U you 1 1 , .

' ' . - - - ' LIGHT BRAHMAS Bnck in the cnrly 'forties ships from the mrts of Asia brought to the United States owls which our fathers remember as ihanghais and Chittagongs. Their enor mous size was a matter of much comment, for they were large enough to eat from the top of a barrel. Some were red, -some ight gray and others dark gray, and from them , fanciers developed the Asiatic breeds Cochins and Brahmas. George P. Burnham, of Boston, gave them a great boost for popularity in 1853 by presenting several to the late Queen Victoria, - and as a result of this, they immediately sprang into favor in England. Virgil Cornish and a Mr. Chamberlain, of Connecticut, were among the first fanciers if the Light Brahmas. and did much to Umprove and popularize them. A demand was quickly created, and they nave been extensively bred, especially in the New England States, since that time. 1 The American fanciers demand that the Light Brahma cock weigh twelve pounds; he operated in the house the chicks are to be grown in. If you wish the pullets to lay next winter, when eggs are high, they should, be hatched early. It takes from six to eight months to .grow pullets to laying maturity, and it is desirable to have them commence to lay in October. .Early April is probably the best time to have chicks come. ' Feeding Methods for Chicks An excellent first feed for baby chicks is bread crumDs moisienea wita sweet milk and-squeezed dry. After several feeds of bread crumbs give them a dry mash consisting of wheat bran, four parts; rolled or pinhead oats, three parts; corn meal, two parts; bone meal, one part; fine beef scrap, one part. Serve this in a chick server or shallow pan. Some keep it before them all the time after they are a week oia. reea tnree times a day with a good commercial chick feed scattered in a litter of chaff, cut clover or alfalfa. This is kept up until the chicks are four weeks old, when the rolled oats are dropped from the mash, and when thev are six to eight week Old. nne cracked earn and whole wheat are adJed to the chick feed and finally substituted for it altogether. Some feed a commercial mixture known as "trowing scratch teed." a mixture of cracked grains and seeds of the proper size for chicks from eight weeks to maturity. If sour skimmed milk can be had keep it before them all the time, also clean water and chick-size int. Where chicks are raised with hens feed them apart from the bens after they are three or four days old. Whole com and wheat will answer for the bens and is less expensive. Selecting the Breed For the novice on a town lot or suburban urn I would siicEest one of the Anvrican breeds as probably best suited to hia needs, as in his case the color of the egg ihell will make no material difference and the birds are of good size when he wishes to dispose of them.- The surplus coclkercU and old hens can be sold to the butcher, the neighbors or eaten on the home table rt in hu wav will nav all the exnenae of raising the pullets and, perhaps, a httle mnm wWi ran for commercial our- posee are to b produced in large numbers And shipped to tna rvew i urn or kidi other large city market, mngie until White Leghorn stand supreme. Nearly Jl the larire eu farm have White born and they are bred in larger number than all other breed combined, being Mmtiallv aa eac-lavinf fowl. The American breeds Plymouth Itneka Wvandottea. Rhode lalaaJ Reds Buckeye, American Jjtafniniquea, Javahs. etc., are what is termed the genera!

Many of the young birds will weigh pounds heaviei than the weight demanded for old stock. It is the giant of poultrydom, representing probably the highest development of the Asiatic type of fowls. Light Brahmas are big boned and carry good flesh, and are most satisfactory for the production of large roasting chickens, being used extensively, both pure bred and as a cross, to produce the famous ' 'soft roaster" of the Boston market. Light Brahmas possess a rugged vitality, and are especially suitable to northern latitudes. They lay well; their eggs are rich, dark brown, and much in demand in Boston, Philadelphia and other markets. The chicks grow rapidly and are com paratively easy reared, but take longer to mature thap the Mediterranean or Ameri can breeds. . are some twenty vaneties, so one can have ample choice as to color, etc. Most beginners want a nice-looking flock and sump aspire to carrying away honors at the local poultry show. At the same time they want birds which will produce an abundance of eggs, and so should secure their foundation stock from some breeder whose hens have a reputa tion as layers. Often there is not so much difference in the laying qualities of the different breeds as there is between several strains or families of the same breed, so it is difficult to say one variety is better than another; in each will be found good and poor layers. - The Equipment Required will depend on the number of fowls it ia designed to keep, the amount of money to be expended and the land available. Quite a flock of hens can be kept on I small area where strict cleanliness is ob served. A flock of a dozen hens can be kept in a small, portable, ready-built house, but where one owns his home it is well to put up a permanent building that will answer for all time. While it should be neat in appearance there is no need for it being expensive; make tbs construction light but strong. The side and roof can be of cheap lumber covered with prepared rooting, but for appearance the front should be of novelty siding, painted. A good size is 16 x 24 feet, which is sufficient for 100 hen. For a smaller flock partition may be built through the house, making two pen, in one of which the chicks can be grown, feed kept, eto. Then, should it be desired to enlarge the plant, the building is ample. A house of this size can be built on most town lots, and while a small yard ia desirable it is not necessary, a hen may be kept confined to the house continually. In this case it should have a large opening in th front, so as to give the birds outdoor conditions at all times. Less (pace may lie allowed per hen when they are kept in large flock than in small flocks, as they have a larger space to roam over, and it requires no more labor to feed ana eare for fifty or a hundred hens all in one Dock than it does for a flock of ten, while the return will be five to ten time a rnat. Growing stock must have an out. ide yard, but healthy chicks can he grown in limited quarters where" the round is kept clean by frequent spading, and they are given plenty of green food.

Never take medicine without looking at the label. Follow the directions accurately and take It at the time specified. Never increase the dose or take more frequently wlth tut consulting your physician. Take liquid medicine In a silver spoon or medicine glass never use a metal measure. Use a medlcirm glass, if possible; spoons vary greatly and give only approximate quantities. Always shake bottle; if separation or sediment, shake thoroughly. Pour from the bottle with label upward. This keeps the label clean and legible. Always take medicine containing iron through a glass tube, thus protecting the teeth. Never take medicine originally Intended for others; this Is dangerous. If the directions on your liquid prescription do not say, "to be taken with water" do bo, unless otherwise In structed by your physician. If the directions on your prescription read "Take three times a day" ask your physician if it should be taken before or after meals. Don't ask your druggist. Capsules should be pierced at each end with a needle Just before taking It it facilitates rapid action of the medicine. " , Capsules, pills and tablets should always be taken with a few swallows of water unless otherwise directed by your physician. Castor oil may be taken easily with orange juice, if beaten up with a spoon drink rapidly. .
