SPURS FOR POULTRYMEN.
It will Boon be too late to hatch
winter layers. Get busy at. once.
Don’t expect all of the hatch to be
winners. They don’t grow that way.
Invest in better houses, better
fowls, better feed, and you will find
your money making a better per cent,
J*
Sell some old hens and invest the
proceeds in eggs from some reliable
breeder, and raise a foundation stock
for next season.
It is much easier to dust each
brooding hen a few times than to
have to dust all the chicks as a re
sult of neglecting it.
J*
Pour out surplus water every even
ing, and scald water vessels fre
quently. Provide a shaded place for
watering during summer.
J*
Don't forget to cover roosting
places with kerosene monthly dur
ing the spring and summer, and
oftener if any mites are ever found.
Jt
Don't give the baby chicks any
thing hut dry feed, and give them
no feed until they are 36 hours old
and your chicks will not be subject
to diarrhea.
J*
Provide dusting places for brood
ing hens. Some sulphur, and insect
powder occasionally scattered in theii
dust box will aid materially in keep
ing lice off. It is well to acattei
sulphur and aHhes also In placet
most frequently used as dusting
places on the yards of both growing
and large fowls.
i Growing chicks, as well as layers
and breeders, should have a variety
of grains, green food, meat and dry
mash, oyster shells, charcoal, grit
and fresh water.
Too many farmers depend more
upon the number of hens they keep
over winter for their supply of eggs,
than upon the kind of fowls, and
the care given them.
**
If poultry yards have not sandy
1 soils, have boxes of sand hauled,
and placed in the yards. Have bot
toms of boxes perforated so rain may
pass through, washing out Impuri
ties the fowls may have placed there.
A small fertile plot, sown to rye
now, will prove a very valuable addi
tion to the fowls’ bill of fare for fall
and winter. This Is especially useful
where fowls are kept In yards too
small to provide sufficient green fbod
J*
riant an extra bed of onions to
have to give to the poultry In the
fall as a tonic. We consider onions
a fine conditioner, but they should
not be fed regularly to a laying hen.
nor to any Cowls for a few days pre
vious to preparing for table.
Have plenty of nest boxes for the
laying hen* These should be about
18x30x18, as hens are leas liable to
crowd and break eggs in boxes these
dimensions than If deeper, and only
large enough for one hen In each
box place several "moth halls" tied
in a thin cloth Also place one of
these in neat of brooding hen These
will help keep away the body lice
which are such a pest to fowls.

I have received a number of letters
asking for Information on various
points In bee keeping "How would
you locate the hives?" If convenient
place them in a line under a row ol
plum trees, with the openings to thf
south, ho that the sun will strike
them early, and yet be warded ofl
during the heat of the day. I put
mine on a platform about two feet
high, so I won’t have to stoop sc
much in working with them, and alsi
to keep them away from the damr
ground.
To protect my hives from cold In
winter and from severe heat in sum
mer. I put an extra box over them
opening at the front. The covei
should be separate so as to come ofl
without removing the whole boi
when you want to go into the hive
In our mild climate this outer boj
does not need to be close, like chafl
hives in the North.
The floor of the platform and the
bottom board of the hive should
slope a little to the front, in order tc
keep well drained, but from side tc
side, they should be level, so the
combe will hang true. The alighting
board should be Bufllclently ample tc
prevent tired bees from falling short
in the grass, to be lost in cold ot
wet weather.
Spring dwindling is one of the
greatest mishap with which the bee
keeper has to contend. The time va
ries according to latitude. If the beei
are not well supplied with store*
when they go into winter quarters
they are apt to run short during th*
cold, rainy days of spring Some
morning you will find the alighting
bords covered with dead be«*». and
then you know that nothing but vig
orotis feeding can aave your colonies.
It U most satisfactory to feed bee*
at the bottom from the rear To
feed In front incurs risk of robbing
To feed at the top requires the rover
to be removed, which Is not conven
ient. A division hoard system al
lows the escape of bees We have
found no system so simple and satis
factory as feeding on a level with the
bottom board at the rear. With the
right feeder. It Is simplicity Itself,
and the work ran be done rapidly
and without any unpleasant inri
dents.
Surplus, or refuse honey in the
bent feeding material, but most bee
keepers feed sugar dissolved In Its
own measure of warm water Feed
should be given after all the been are
In at night, so as to prevent tempta
tion to rob. Give as much as the
bee# will clean up, and store in t|n„.
for next feed on the following day.
Some colonies will need more feed
and some less, while others may need
none at all. When the hive feel#
heavy on lifting the back end there
Is no need for feeding. If |t |H light,
feed should be given. Its exact con
dition may be ascertained by opening
the hive and examining the combs.
