THOMSON credit for every egg they lay and every carcass they give up for food. This naturally implies Unit you must keep an egg record as well ns a ledger ac count. You must know just what the hens are doing and what they cost you. An element that is often lacking in poultry food is protein, the most ex pensive part of the food and most need ed. It makes blood, muscle, bone, eggs and feathers. It may be supplied in feeding lean meat, green cut bone and straps, wheat, oats, alfalfa and some clover. During summer, when fowls have their liberty, they are able to pick up a good deal of food containing this material, thereby balancing their own ration. From January Farm Jouknal. The Poultry Yard- Corn should be fed at the eveninu j feed as it is very heating and slow in j digesting. Don't buy too large an incubator for j the iirst attempt. One-hundred-egg size is large enough if the hatch hap pens to be a failure. Live the liens oats to help out Hie bill of fare. I f the oats are in the sheaf, so much the better. Thrashing out a bundle of oats is good exercise for the; hens on a cold morning. Grit must lie hard and sharp to do the work of properly grinding up the food in the crop. Gravel, as a general thing, is not rough enough, and crack ed oyster shell is too soft. The farm poultry flock loo often is] composed of chickens, ducks, geese, ] turkeys and pigeons, all living together as one common family. That is a mi: take. Each kind should have its own quarters. The best way to keep the premises clean of lice and mites is to begin in January to wage war. Once a week pour kerosene over the roosts, into the i cracks of the nest boxes, and along the 1 dropping boards.
