Ration Given Breeders Has Much to sPo With Future Strength and Vigor of Resulting Chicka.

The ration fed the breeders to of very great Importance, as It has a great deal to do with the future strength of the pen. The breeders should preferably be Isolated from the rest of the flock by placing them tn a yard and clean pen to themselves. When this to done you should feed them everything they get to eat. Borne may think this 1s a disadvantage. but you can then know to a certainty Just what the fowls are getting to eat and this to a very Important Item during the breeding aeaaon. Feed plenty of good, wboleecmc food. Give them as greet a variety of food, grains and vegetables as It la possible for yon to provide. This to one of tbe secrets of strong chicks. A variety of

a ration means strong germs. Plenty of green food to essential, aa well as sufficient meat food, for they supply elements of food that cannot found in any other ration and which are necessary to the proper structure of tbe egg. But care should be taken not to overfeed on these elements as such an occurrence will do more damage than one might suppose.

MONEY IN SORTING POTATOES

Consumers, Large and Small, Do Not Like Mixed Lots—Demand Is for Uniform Bleed Tubers.

There to money to bo made by the sorting of potatoes. Consumers, large and small, do not like mixed Iota. They want them uniform In slxe and quality. Consequently potatoes are usually sorted before being put on tbe market and the price which to paid the potato grower to the price of sorted potatoes, less the cost of sorting. Therefore, the putato grower who ships unsorted potatoes really has to pay the charge of sorting. The shipper of unsorted potatoes, also, has to pay another charge, and that Is the freight on tbe culls which -re later taken out of hte shipmenL The shipper of unsorted potatoes, therefore, to simply waatlug money' It pays to sort because it gUee one the top market prices and because It saves freight on culls, aud. It might be added, because the culls could be kept on the farm and made use of ti> rations for live stock.
