"The operation was a complete suc cess and she is almost able to toe about," he said, then, as the old man turned away with a sign of relief: "but I think you had better come with me today. She may need you now." He whispered in the clergy man's ear and the old man straight ened as though he had been stung, his face working convulsively. Then he nodded quietly and followed the surgeon to the room where Rita sat in a chair, her husband standing beside her. He did not mind the coldness of his son-in-law's reception, did not mind the hesitancy of his daughter's kiss. He deserved all this.

Ijewis Heed of the Department of Poultry Husbandry, New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. COPYRIGHT, 1915. From the time chicks attoht an afro of from eight to twelve weeks and arc able to leave the brooder, the problem of the poultryman becomes one of In suring a uniform, continuous growth until the pullets are put Into the lay ing houses In the Fall. In the case of the cockerels, the same problem is present until they are sold for meat. In this article Prof. Lewis tells how to solve these problems successfully. DURING the summer months the successful poultryman makes every effort to keep the young stock growing rapidly. From the time they leave the brooder the chicks should not be subjected to any check in their growth, for such a check re tards development and makes them of small size and possessed of less vigor. There are three factors necessary to their satisfactory development: First, the early separation of sexes; second, providing proper environment, and third, supplying sufficient nourish ment. As soon as the pullets and cockerels can be distinguished, it is essential that they be kept by themselves for the remainder of the growing period. The pullets, when running by them selves, make a better growth, and fur thermore can be fed to secure a nor mal slow development at smaller cost than would be necessary if they were to be put into condition market. The cockerels, on the other hand, must be fed special fattening rations in order to put on a high quality of flesh in a minimum of time. In the case of Leghorns, the surplus cockerels should be disposed of as broilers in most cases at about twelve weeks of age or when they weigh about one and one-half pounds. With the heavier breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks and Wyandottes, most of the cockerels can be kept to the roaster age and marketed in the Fall when six to eight months old. The male birds cannot be put into proper condi tion economically if they are allowed to run with the pullets. They not only require different methods of feeding but the presence of each other acts as an Irritation and serves to check the proper growth of each. The following ration has proven very desirable for finishing cockerels which arc to be sold as broilers. It. should bo fed mixed with skim milk and in a crumbly, not sloppy condi tion. It is best fed in trough, only enough heing given at a time so that the chicks will clean it up between each feeding. One feed of the mash a day is sufficient. Equal parts of cracked corn and wheat should be fed morning and night in addition. Skim Milk Broiler Mash Ground oats 2 5 lbs. Cornmeal 25 lbs. Wheat middlings 25 lbs. Beef scrap 15 lbs. Granulated bone 10 lbs. Total 100 lbs. The broilers which are being fed these rations should be given plenty of green food and plenty of water to drink, and should have rather re stricted range, thus keeping down the exercise and hastening the formation of fat. ' y Where the heavier cockerels are to be grown to roaster age they should be given during the summer plenty of green grass range with shade. When they arc from six to eight months old and two to three weeks before they are to be killed, It will be found de sirable to confine them in crates or small yards and feed them a special fattening ration. For such purposes the following ra tion will be found very useful. It should be mixed very moist, with skim milk if possible, if not, water will answer. It should be fed in pans or water-tight troughs. No water should be given the birds to drink during the finishing period other than what they get from the mash, the mash being mixed very wet. Fattening Mash Cornmeal 4 0 lbs. Wheat middlings 20 lbs. Ground oats 20 lbs. Beef scrap 20 lbs. Total 100 lbs. Three feedings a day of the above mash, if only small quantities are given, so that the birds are allowed to I For Your | '(I.

According to histor ians this is the fowl whose battles are alluded to in the "Institutes" of Mena. 1000 B. C. "Aseel" is an Arabic word meaning; "high caste." The rulers of India bred this fowl for fighting, and to this day both sexes are extremely combative. Aseels are known n black, blaclc red, white, Duckering, gray, spangles, speckles and mottles, but the first three are generally accepted as the distinct varieties. In 1850 or thereabouts the people of Cornwall, England, using the black red Aseel and some of the local fowl, evolved the now famous Dark Cor nish. Others using the White Aseel in like manner produced the White Cor nish fowls. The latter, while partak- get hungry between feedings, will re sult in a profitable increase in weight. The feed for pullets differs from that given the cockerels in the fact that it is not forcing and not designed primar ily for flesh growth. It is intended rather to maintain a uniform develop ment over a considerable period of time, with the idea of getting the birds into maturity before cold weather sets in. The pullets on range can best be fed a combination of cracked grains and dry mash. The cracked grains are fed broadcast twioe a day about the range, and consist of equal parts of whole wheat and cracked corn. A dry mash which experience has shown to be very valuable for rearing pullets contains: Wheat bran ' 60 lbs. Gluten feed 10 lbs. Cornmeat 10 lbs. Ground oats 10 lbs. Granulated bone 10 lbs. Beei scrap 10 lbs. Total 100 lbs. This mash should be kept in large, self-feeding hoppers, so that chicks can always have free access to it. Free range furnishes the best condi tions for vigor and proper growth. As soon as the pullets are separated from the cockerels they should be placed im mediately on the summer range, which should consist of a rather large area, preferably free range. Under free | range conditions, plenty of green food lis provided, which stimulates the ap -1 petite and increases digestion. Natural ; shade Is needed to protect the chicks ' from the hot sun and to create proper conditions of moisture. When allowed to roam over an ex tended area, the birds secure a large quantity of food material in the form of grubs, insects and weed seeds. These not only induce an excellent growth, but also cut down the cost of other purchased feeds. Furthermore, free range furnishes sanitary conditions which are essential to the best health and development.

COPYRIGHT, 1915. WHITITASEEL ing in a general way of the huge mus cular formation of its Aseel progeni tor, proved to be a most excellent table fowl, with fine grained, soft flesh. Aseel fowls In America are bred only for ornamental purposes. The variety has never become popular here be cause the females are poor layers and both sexes have hard muscles that make them undesirable for the table. Aseel fowls weigh from five pounds for | females to six for males, and in this respect differ in comparison with the Cornish fowls, their descendants, which run from six to eight pounds for the females, and eight to eleven for males. The latter also are less pugnacious and make better market poultry, while they at the same time possess about the same characteristics lof form and color as the Aseel. small, bare yards without free range will, in Uie great majority of cases, result in failure. The poultryman will appreciate that in all of this work the ultimate aim is vigor and a natural in herited strength and vitality. Unless he Is able to rear each year a large number of pullets to replace the old birds which are sold after they have passed their usefulness for egg produc tion, his chances for success in the poultry business are slim. Vigor is insured, then, by healthy, vigorous parent stock; by the early separation of the sexes, that each may be given every opportunity for devel opment, and by the furnishing of proper range during the summer period.
