Poultry Pointers

POULTRY POINTERS.

Do not try to winter more hens than you can care for well.

As a rule, the last eggs of a clutch are not nearly so fertile as the first.

Linseed meal brightens the plumage, regulates the bowels and promotes digestion.

Peafowls are not large bodied birds. They are much smaller than they appear, and it will not pay to raise them for their flesh.

Give the hens all possible freedom and there will be less trouble with soft shelled eggs, for the hens will get the exercise and pick up the lime they need.

In selling geese it is best in nearly all cases to sell the young ones, for while the older will produce the strongest offspring, the younger will sell for the best price.
