CARING FOR MOULTING HENS
Te Hurry Fowls Along They Must Be
Fed Liberally—Feed Them Mash
and Plenty of Grain.
Some people make a dreadful fuas
about the poor moulting hen, while
this moulting process is just as natu
ral as It Is for a hen to live and
breathe and no more critical than the
laying stunt, provided the hens are
(ed enough to keep up the waste of
the body and at the same Ume manu
facture the new feathers, says the
Field and Farm. The sooner the feath
ers are grown the sooner tbe eggs
will come and to hurry them along as
fast as possible the fowls should be
(ed liberally. Give them all the
mash they will eat and a good feed
ing of grain at night.
To many folks it looks like throw
ing away money to practice heavy
feeding while no eggs are coming In,
but this Is ono of the secrets of get
ting winter eggs. The moulting sea
son Is the most critical rariod In the
life of a hen. Growth of uw feathers
Is a heavy strain on vitality. Aa the
hen is fed on the average ranch It
requires from two to four months to
recover from the
By giving the necessary materials
with which to make the feathers so
that a hen will not have to take them
from the tissues of her body, she will
be ready for work as soon aashehaa
her new plumage and often before.
Pullets should be handled in the same
way. They are not yet fully devel
oped and will not begin to* lay until
the amount of food they consume Is
enough to support growth with a sur
plus to go Into something else.
SECURE PROFIT FROM DUCKS
Eggs Csn Be Sold at High Prlcee and
There Is Always Good Demand
for Their Feathers.
A nice flock of ducks increases the
profits on the farm every year. The
eggs can be sold in the spring at
good prices, for setting, and there is
always a good sale for feathers.
They are much less trouble than
chickens or turkeys because they sel
dom die from any kind of disease.
Ducks will always take care of them
selves after they have been hatched a
short time. As soon as the ducks
are large enough to , eat, sprinkle
thick curd In their boxes. Shallow
vessels should be used (or watering.
A good plan Is to fill a flat pan

SUMMER CARE OF THE EGGS
Practice of Holding Product for High*
sr Market Prfse In Autumn Re
sults In Serloue Lose.
(By N. E. CHAPMAN, Extension Poultry
SpMl.Ust, University Farm, St. Paul.
Minn.)
In the summer months, eggs should
receive the same care and considera
tion as sweet milk and cream, and be
marketed dally, If posalble. Tbey
should not be exposed to draughts ot
warm air, and should be protected
(rom the rays o( the sun and from
moisture, in handling, marketing and
shipping. The common practice of
holding eggs (or a higher market price
in autumn results In poor quality and
serious loss instead of gain. Under
ordinary (arm conditions, eggs should
never be held. The (armer, however,
Is not the only one responsible (or the
shrunken eggs on the markot Coun
try merchants have been equally
blamable (or tbe annual loos.
A fresh egg will absorb odors as
readily as (resb milk. Mustlness or
moldy growth In egg cases or fillers
will taint the egg and lower its qual-1
lty.
Eggs should not be stored In musty
cellars, or In rooms with (rult, vege
tables or flsh.
The flock should never be allowed
to drink filthy water, be (ed musty
grains or strong-flavored vegetables,
as onions and garlic, or given access
'to decaying meat or substances that
'will flavor the product and Impair its
quality.
ADVICE CANT BE FOLLOWED
Impoaelble to Have Egg Layere Alone,
Coneequently.Fermsrs Must Keep J
General Purpoee Fowl.
The advice Is given generally to se
lect an egg breed for egg production,
but on tbe average this sdvlce cannot
be followed very well, as tbe principal
egg breeds. Leghorns, Anconas and
Mlnorcas are poor mothers and can
scarcely be kept to advantage Unless
Incubators and brooders sre employed
In rslsing the chickens. Consequent
ly a majority ot formers and back
yard poultry men are forced to keep
a general purpose breed. Ot these
the Barred Plymouth Rock, the Wyan
dotte, tbe Rhode laland Red and the
Orpington are all deservedly popular.
Far too many flocks of mixed fowls
or mongrels are kept. These are less
profitable than the pure bred birds.
Rggs uniform in color and slse are
Prise-Winning Plymouth Rock Pullet
worth more In tbe msrkets than eggs
mixed In color and size. Tbe same
principle holds true when any con
siderable quantity ot market poultry
Is to be disposed of. Then, too, the
former with a good flock o( pure bred
blrda can always sell eggs (or hstch-
Ing at a considerable Increase over the
ordinary market price for table eggs,
snd in the foil many of tbe surplus
cockerels can be sold to good advant
age (or breeders.
Cleanliness.
There Is one word which poultry
men must never forget and that la
cleanliness. Without It failure Is cer
tain. The ammonia fumes from drop
pings left under the roosts are sura
to produce roup and throat troubles,
which are particularly fatal. I.lce
will breed and thrive In filth, and will
ruin your flock In a abort time, unless
exterminated.
Keep Chick* lit Yard.
The beat way ia to keep the cblcka
In a yard that la enclosed with poultry
netting until th#y are fully feathered
out. In this manner they are at hand
when you want them and are not
roaming off and getting loet. This will
also keep them from being killed by
•ate, dogs, etc.

' Chinese Soldiers Are Good Fighters.
Till within the last two years or so,
the general Impression was that the
Chinese soldier was intended to run
away. The revolution ot 1911 dis
sipated some o( this absurdity. Tbe
events o( tbe preeent year have dis
persed the remainder. It is now
recognised that there Is no finer mate
rial than that which could be selected
| (rom among tbe eturdler of China's
' sons. Nothing is wanted but training,
arms of precision, good leading and a
| good cause. With these, China could
well hold Its own. The Improvements
that have been made during recent
years In such things csn be appre
ciated only by those who know what
the old troops, from tbe Bannermen
downward, were like.—National Re
view, China.
Callfornla'e Mountains.
Things are wonderful principally Sj
comparison. There are 0 or more
lofty mountains in California rising
more than 18,000 (eet above sea Isvel
which are not considered sufficiently
noteworthy among all the surround
ing wealth of mountain scenery to
have even received names, according
to the United States geological sur
vey. Any one of these mountain
peaks If situated In the esstern part
of the United Statee, would of course
be visited by millions of people. - But
California has 70 additional mountain
peaks more than 18,000 feet high
which have been named, or 180 in all,
as well aa a dozen rising above 14,000
feet
Marriage and Imprisonment.
European divorce reformer* hare
often Insisted that the Imprisonment
for life of a husband or wife should
entitle the other party to remarry. The
Brooklyn supreme court has recently
decided that the wife of ft man lm'
prisoned on an "Indeterminate sen
tence"—ln this instance for not lesa
than twenty years—may remarry, as
the man Is "civilly dead." Moreover,
the Judge declared that her remarriage
did not require to be prefaced either
by a divorce or the annulment of her
previous union, while he also declared
that eren the hueband's pardon would
not restore his marital rights.
How a Regiment Waa Recruited.
With the New Yoar the British war
offlco began to advertise for recruits,
and one wondera It their methods will
prove as successful as those of one
of their representatives In India.
Captain Holmes, a famous athlete In
the Indian army, raised one of the
finest regiments In the service by the
sporting method of challenging all and
sundry to wrestle. Those worsted
were to enlist, and In a short time the
gallant captain was able to show a
collection of wrestling prizes that
.were a credit alike to himself and
the army.—lxmdon Chronicle.
Tuberculosis.
The beat "cure" for tuberculosis, so
cially speaking, la prevention. The
civilization that "will not atand" for
bad housing, fllth, dsrkntss, sweating
and Industrial Injustice will eliminate
tuberculosis. Tbe modern treatment
of incipient consumption Is scientific
ally almple. It prescribes good food,
good air, plenty of rest and freedom
from worry. The sound body Is con
sumption-proof. The tubercle bacillus
cannot thrive In It; It might as well
bite steel. Many of our reforms are
potent preventive* of oonsumptloa
and more gr* coming.
