If you expect to exhibit al the fall show s. the specimens should be plac’ d in the training coops now Handle the birds as much as possible, so that they will be perfectly tame when in the show room If you expect to exhibi* fowls that will need washing, you had better begin to practice up now ’Take some dirty bird that isn't as valuable as the show bird and try youi hand at washing him. While seemingly' very simple, the job isn’t as easy as it looks. The yx intei quarters tor the young pullets should lie thoroughly oy.rliaul ed and whitewashed. The pullets should be moved from the colony coops to the laying pens the ast of this month. I his will enable them to get settled nicely and in working order before winter be gins. Take Care of the Pullets If the pullets are hatched in March or April, they should be laying in tn tober. and then good care and food will keep them laying steadily right through winter The food and espei i illy the care an- the most imisirtant factors The first essential is in having tin pens cleaned up, whitewashed and every thing In good working ordci Remem ber that the pullets have been on free range, and housing them up entii* ly • verses the conditions Keep tin scratching litter always on the floor and change it whenevt it becomei musty or damp Beware of drouths an the cold rain storms, for now tn* bii will catch cold <.i-ih Feeding is an ever-interesting sub ject and deserves mor< than passing interest.

TRAP NESTS HELP TO MAKE HENS PROFITABLE The poultryman of today ought to make the most of the trap nest If you h. never tried it. you w ill be likely io find It clumsy business at first.

She is "not for- de.” It ought not to take long to test a bird. X bird that will lay six egg" in seven days and do ft for a month has proven tier superior value. \ thousand hens like that next Janu ary would soon pay for a farm. Kind them out!

FEHRENSCHILD, The raising of ducks for market is. in my opililon, the most profitable branch ,of poultry keeping. A sandy soil and somewhat sloping location is’the best; an unfailing supply of water is also es sential. It is always advisable to buy breeding stock or eggs for hatching from ,i reliable market duck raiser in . prt fi rem e to one of tile so-called fan ciers. Keep your breeders in tiptop condition and you w ill have no trouble in hatching their eggs and raising the ducklings. Give them clean and airy sleeping quarters, clean water to drink and plenty of green food to eat. A good laying ration for ducks consists of 300 pounds of bran. 300 of cornmeal, 100 of No 2 Hot r. 100 of bet fscrap and 150 of alfalfa meal. I keep one drake to every live ducks. The majority of duck breeders keep their breeders in docks of 30. Nine reais ago I started to keep all my bri edi ts in one flock and on free range. With the exception of s-opar.i t ing at times a tew birds for experiment, 1 have never changed this practice. I now keep over 300 bre, ders in one dock and on free range. Keep Hens With Breeders. F'oi bedding I use sawdust, but dur ing very l-oid weather and when there is snow I prefer dry leaves, straw or hay By keeping some hens' with your breeders ami throwing some small grain into leaves or straw you will gain twc> point- it will give your; breeders needed exercise, and the hens | will shake up the bedding and mix diri 1 with the droppings, which will make ( them less offensive. When sawdust t-j used the droppings should be raked up i daily No matter how clean you keep ; the quarter#, some of the eggs will be soiled. They should be washed as soon as they are gathered Eggs should be incubated as soon as possible. The frenher tn.- eggs the bet tor they will hatch. e |,dally in warm weather. The temperature in the incu. batol’s is kepi at l"2 fm the first four or fivi davs. is gradually increased to 'iy'. 1 >■ - .... .. - 103. and during the last three days of the hatch is kept at from 104 to 105 degrees. After the eggs have been in cubated a week 1 cool them once a day by leaving them out of the incubator long enough to become pretty cool, which may take from ten minutes to over an hour, according to the length of time the c ggs have- been incubated and the temperature of the incubator cellar. 1 also moisten the eggs from one to three times a week. As soon as the ducklings are hatched and dried off they are removed to brooders, which are heated to from 95 to 100 degrees’. For the first two weeks feed and water are constantly kept be fore them. if ducklings come from healthy stock, there should be no trou ble in raising 9S per cent. They should be fed a crumbly mash containing plenty of bone-forming material. A good ration consists of 300 pounds of bran. 300 of cornmeal, 250 of No. 2 Hour, 300 of bi fscngp and 1,30 of al falfa meal. Thric times a day I feed to the ducklings ail of this ration they will eat up clean. Keep Brooders Clean. The. brooders should be kept dean. Be sure you keep them warm enough so that the ducklings can spread all over thi‘ floor and will not have to huddh up in a bunch to keep warm. Ducklings should bo removed from the brooders at from one to two weeks of age. ac cording to tile time of year. I have taken ducklings from brooders when they were only twelve day s old and put tin i in a house without hovers where itm water was frozen every morning, land those same ducklings two weeks ati r were put into coops with tiie front land back partly open. We had about j three indies of snow at the time and . freezing temperature every night. I Phose ducklings ware market d at the ig' **f tiim weeks ami six davs. and the returns for them showed that they had averaged 6 podnds and 14 ounces each. In order to do well, ducklings must have plenty of fresh air. which they can not get as long as they are kept it' stuffy btoo.leis and under hov ■r- Don’t crowd your ducklings The fewir y ou keep in a pen the faster they will growt’ountrv Gentleman. TY GET POULTRY HOUSED BY OCT. 1 AT THE LATES By the first of October most poultry men will want their fowls well accus tomed to th" hmt os in which they are to live and lay all through the winter, if you wish o keep your hens from laying change them about frequently from one roosting and laying house to another. That is the way we do when we wish to save theii strength for later i ffort Bui if you really desire to get egg- and get them regularly, get your bins just where you will want to keep them permanently. Now is the time to place the fui'y developed pul lets anti the well moulted hens in their permanent,, roosting and laying quar ters. Pullets yet undeveloped may be permitted yet to run as usual. But the permanent housing should come sev eral weeks befo e the laving is ex pected to begin. If not. it will put-them off that much longer. KEEP FOWLS IN ORCHARD IF ONE IS AVAILABLE The hot days of August and Septem ber are very trying to poultry, young and old, and great pains should be taken to make them as comfortable as possible. The ideal place for poultry in the summer is in an orchard, or grove, where the trees furnish shade; but in must instant cs -ueh a place can not be had. and we must provide artificial shelter. Os boards or muslin. Sunflowers with pole beans growing around them or morning glory, or other quick growing vines, will be a great Help. USE WHIEWASH: IT IS CHEAP AND EFFECTIVE It’s to the henhouses now! Are they clean? Make them so clean and so wholesome and so liceless that you yourself would be willing to go right into them and sleep night after night. Whitewash is "cheap as dirt." Spend a day with the brush, and you will be tickled as a child when you see the result. What if you do get white washed yourself? It will rinse riff. It isn’t dangerous.
