'AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS P ey TFEEDING POULTRY § IN HOT WEATHER 1n poultry keeping, as in any other bus- iness, the aim is to keep down'expenses. If they almost or totally equal the re- turns, then, no matter how productive the flock is, there is little profit for its owner. One of the largest items of expense which the man or woman raising poultry today has is the grain that is fed the birds. Every kind of cereal is expensive m comparison with former days, especial- iy corn and wheat, which are usually considered the best poultry grains. As the quantity of the grain consumed enters into the cost of producing eggs quite as well as the price of the grain, experiments have been conducted on the government poultry farm to determine the amount of feed required to produce a dozen eggs. The general purpose pullets used in this experiment ate in a year an average of 8.7 pounds of feed per dozen eggs pro- duced, and the vearling general purpose birds ate 9.6 pounds. The Leghorn pul-| lets ate 4.8 pounds and the yearlings 5.5 ‘pound: From these figures it is seen that the zeneral purpose pullet ate 1.9 pounds more feed in producing a dozen eggs than he Leghorn puliet difference in- eases very rapid e age of the the general purpose yearlings con- 4.1 pounds more feed per dozen As the | averag ts and 8 e eg2 i The Cup Whete foose CEYLON TEA SEEMAN BROS., New York Proprietors of White Rose Coffee, Canned Foods, Cocoa, Cereals, etc. yearlings, while the Leghorns produced an average of 138.7 eggs as'pullets and 124.9 eggs as yearlings. The value of the general purpose breeds for market or for hatching and breeding makes them usually the most, desirable breed for the generai farmer and the backyard poultry raiser, while the Leghorns are especially 'adapted to commercial egg raising. PICE WELL DRAINED SPOT FOR THE POULTRY HOUSE Poultry can be raised successfuly on any well drained soil. A light loam which will grow good grass is well adapted for this purpose, while a very light sandy soil through which the water leaches freely will stand more intensive poultry condi- tions, but most of the green feed for the fowls kept or such a soil will have to be purchased. A heavy clay or adobe soil is not well adapted to poultry raising, as such land does not drain readily and it is much more difficuit to keep the stock healthy, poultry specialists on the government poultry farm have i Long, stationary houses or the inten- sive system save steps, but it is easier to keep the birds healthy and to reproduce the stock under the colony system, where the birds are allowed the free range. Breeding stock, and ‘especially growing chickens, should have an abundance of range, while hens used solely for the preduction of market eggs may be kept on a very small area with good results. The colony house system necessitates placing the houses (holding about 100 hens) from 200 to 250 feet apart, so that the stock will not kill the grass. The lony svstem may be adapted to severe winter conditions by ‘drawing the colony houses fogather in a convenient place at the beginning of winter, thus reducing Q | the labor during these months.

Prevention is always better than cure, and all those who wish to succeed with poultry should give their birds such good care and Xkeep their houses so well cleaned and disinfected that both fowls and chicks will keep hardy and vigorous. Some Qiseases may be treated success- fully, while others of a more serious na- ture usually prove fatal. If only one or two birds of a flock become sick ti is usually advisable to kill them immediate- 1y (unless they are choice specimens) and burn .or bury the carcasses, say poultry specialists in the United States depart- | ment of agriculture. If the birds are kept jand an attempt is made to doctor or cure them the disease may prove contagious and spread throughout the entire flock.

Clay, who ‘has deciphered some of the most fam- | ous of the documents. “Above all else, oné of the greatest surprises is that the earliest peoples,) 1instead of being barbarous or uncultur- | jed, were civilized and possessed a cul- tu of a high orde; “Several ancient 1 imense archives ha ago the literary nipal (668-626 B.

Code of Hammurabi, written about 2,000 B. C.. upon a large and somewhat irregular stele, is perhaps the most important monument of an- tiquity that has been found for a cen- tury. It is the product of a civiliza- tion of a high order. In codifying his laws, Hammurabi arranged them in a definite and logical order, based upon {accepted judicial decisions. “In no better way is'it possible to become acquainted with the évery-day life of the ancient Babylonian than by a careful study of the Hammurabi Code. L “The code recognizes three grades of society—the aristocrat, or gentleman, or pleb, and the slave. Amongz -the ranks of the first mentioned were the professional men, the officers, and the tradesmen. The second class included the freedman who had been a slave. as been the custom with most in a large part of the ancient, as the modern, Orient to base a betrothal upon an agreement of the man or his parents to pay a sum of money to the girl's father.
