non,, is go much neglected as the rais
ing of gulmas. Nearly every family
In the country has a considerable
tlo ’k of chickens mid perhaps a few
turkeys, ducks and geese, hut It Is
seldom one sees any "speckle-backs”
among them. This may be, perhaps,
because their merits are not general
ly known, while their faults ure a
Joke everywhere.
About the only real objection to
them Is their wild nature, but a flock
may be controlled, to a great extent,
by observing proper methods In rais
ing them. By hatching the eggs un
der common hens, much of the trou
ble In getting them to behave more
like domestic fowls Is avoided. To
make domesticity doubly sure, Ip Is
well to put two or thro; chicks with
each hen that Is raising a guinea
family. The young chicks will obey
the lien and the young guineas will
follow their example, with the result
that the guineas will keep with the
other fowls as they grow und also go
Into the poultry-house to roost with
them. If the poultry-house Is near
the dwelling, so ttiat the guineas will
dully come Into contact with mem
bers of the family, they will become
more tame than otherwise. Under
such conditions It is not unusual for
some Of the guinea-hens to lay In
their nests close enough to Insure a
good hatch. And the little chicks
that do hatch often come to a sad
end when they are permitted to wan
der around with their mother througn
the wet grass of early mornings and
on raifly days. The old birds art-
very hardy, but the little chicks ar
sensitive. For this reason they will
thrive better If raised with common
hens that are willing to come In when
it rains.
The newly hatched chicks run about
actively almost as soon as they are
out of the shell, and, ns they are
very tiny things, the yare apt to get
lost. They should* be kept confined
for at least a week after hatching,
unless the hen can be given a run on
short grass. Oulnea-hens have a way
ot calling lost chicks, but common
hens can only cIuck as Nature In
tended they should, and thd little
guineas pay no attention to this at
first. Young guineas may be given
a feed much the same as for young
turkeys, after a fast of not more than
twelve hours after hatching. They
grow and feather rapidly.
The flesh of the guinea Is rather
dark, but Is tender and possesses a
gamy flavor not unlike that of some
wild game birds. For this reason,
many dealers In market poultry ad

fowls mentions this point, but a good
thing will hear repeating. In com

The wild, noisy nature of the guinea
Is urged against It by many pouary-
mrn. Guineas do not bear confine
ment well. They are of nn active
nature and prefer to range the fields
for their food. Hut that very habit
makes them the best Insect-hunters

till* nt egg-producer In th»» summer
f• nn* n, whPe Inc flesh of the guinea
in preferred L*> many to that of tne
rhkken. It is Arm, o- gamy flavor
and of nn excellent quality. Tne
guinea-hen usually commences laying
in April and will lay an egg nearly
every day until about the flrst of Oc-
tol (T. The eggs are smaller than the
chickens*, but they arc better flavored
and usually sell at the same price us
the hens' eggs, once the consumers
can be persuaded to try them. There
!a not usuully a very strong demand
for them, however, und It has to be
w orked un.
The young guineas are rather hard
to raise, and it Is best to hatch them
under chicken-hens, as the guinea-
hi ps do not usually get broody un/11
late In the scuso.i and, ut that, arc
IlktTy to trail the young ones in the
wet and lose them.
Tin re are tw o breeds of guineas,
the white ami tho pearl. The former
is pure white In feather, and the flesh
lots no have the bluish color which
is an objection In the pearl guinea.
^>n this account the white guinea is
preferable for cooking purposes.
The white guinea, however, does
not seem to be as good nn egg-pro-
lucer ns the pearl. Iloth are about
the same slse. I thought for several
wars that the young white guineas
were harder to raise than the pearl,
at last year we hail a mixed brood
of whites and pearls hatched at the
ume time. They had the same treat
ment and we raised a larger per cent
>f the white ones. This year we have
1 brcod of half-breeds, half white and
rtf ptarl. They seem to he hardier
than pure-bloods of either bretd. If
t had net been for the depredutions
*f a cat we would probably have
’aised nearly the entire brood, as we
ost only one besides the ones that
he caught.
The pearl guinea is of n lead color
with white specks in the feather. A
■'ross of the two breeds does not
make a uniformly colored bird, us
«ome of the feathers are pure white
aud pome birds have more white on
them than others.
Where guimas can have free range,
they are a profitable bird to grow, as
they are better insect-destroyera than
chickens, and they are not as bad
to trail down and eat grain. Our
guinea-hens laid eggs last summer
that sold for three times wbat the
birds would have cost if we had pur
chased them In the spring, and the
best part of It was that they were
mads principally from Insects that In
jure crops. By employing guineas
