While BID. sate In the loft o'erbead. Tailed: "Betty, kill 'tan dead! Otoe Mm a good one in the eye! Bit 'tan aCIn an' be will die!"

Oh. why didn't Betty hit BUI there As he got off such redbot air? Why didn't aha whack him on the snout And kick the meekly coward out? Go ask those women ef today.

KURI08 FROM KORRESPONDENT8 ] Q. 1 had such poor lock hatching j ButT Cochin eggs this season, only averaging about four chicks to fifteen j eggs. My birds are very vigorous, and I cannot understand It Can you tell we? A. Cochins have very large faffs. To Insure fertility these should Be trimmed In breeding season. Q. I note parties selling high priced show bird egga almost always warn purchasers not to expect many show specimens from a setting. Is this a bluff to cover the sale of cull eggs? ( A. It might be In some cases. There are times when a setting results In a majority of high scoring birds, and. again, there may be none. The off spring la not Just governed by the present mating. Ancestry has a pert In It A boy's parents may have jet black hair, and yet he may be the proud possessor of red hair and freckles that are inherited from his great-great-grandmother. Q. 1 note yon mention the young orchard of apples and plnms around cucru Ul dppiOB UJU

your poultry plaot. When yon spray paris green to kill the green lice on yoqr apple trees how do you prevent j. poisoning yonr fowls? A. We don't t aae paris green. Scald tobacco stems , or clippings and uae it the color of ( coffee. Spray several times to catch t successive batches. t Q. When a fancier buys show birds from a Judge to exhibit where this ^ judge scores the birds do you think ^ that judge can be so unbiased as to not place his own stock first? A. This ( la a case where you can't "sometimes j most always tell." j j Q. At what meal do you feed soft mash to your chickens? A. We like to feed It for breakfast or dinner. The moist droppings then fall on the ground j while flock Is on range. Q. 1 wrote some time ago to a Wy- f andotte breeder for price of a trio, cockerel and two hens. He offered me , rose comb birds at $10 and single comb for $8. I never heard of the ( single comb Wyandottes before and | wrote him so. He then declared. "It ' is a new breed." Is this true? A. ( No They are an old breed of culls. ( Q. Why do so many turkey breeders use onions In the feed? A. Turkey ( raisers feed both onions and dande- ; lion. They are both tonics. They add bulk to the ration, so that the juices 1 of the crop can penetrate the mass. The poults like them and thrive on ' them, and the onions prevent Intestinal 1 worms. DONT8.
