POULTRY NOTES
(By "Chanticleer.")
Hints for Novioos. Don't keep hens beyond their second season, unless you want to use them as breeders, for which purposo they w 11 be at their best at this age. It has ' con proved by official tests, and all practical breeders know, that after her second leaion's lay, a hen will not pay to teed cicopt as a breeder. _ You may materially help moulting birds by the use of oil cake. Break oil a chunk, dissolve it in water, and mix with bran and pollard. You may feed it every day while the moult is on. If you. have been keeping the same strain In your back yard for a long time, and want a change of blood you can't do better than to obtain a strone 12 to 18 mouthy old male bird from a country breeder, whose birds aro brought up in the pure fresh air of the country, and under hardy outdoor conditions A bird of this sort would do a, lot in the way of stiffening the blood in the ordinary suourban back yard; Poultry-Bick ground is not conducive to the maintenance of fowls in good health, which is imperative if they are to lay to the best advantage.
