POULTRY KEEPINGL i. PROFITABLE HOBBY. BY "UTILITY." AN ALL-ROUND BREED. This present time affords a good oppol* tun-ity for starting to keep poultry, and those who have any thought of doing 64 should not delay a moment now while if any of my read,-r,, iiave only a number of EQ-cugrel birds that give bu.t very pour re- suits, now is the time to make » •clean sweeji uf them all and siart a:c.,ll w.itli a tspeciniens of a good bi-ccd and «tv;uu.

At large sh-ov.w they make one of the biggest best Ù plays, proving the- popi ^riiy 01 th." brted.' which its beautitul appearance (I e f -e with fancy breeders.

Of course, the best ro.iuni are not got from it wuKout a- gooa deal off trouble and skill in brv-u;iig. n-itnug, d feeding; but the b..rkl-; are so extraordinarily hardy that a poultry-keeper of average com- mon sense would faicl it hard to fail with them. They are prolific, make steady s'tters And good mothers; the chicks are fast growers, easy to rear, and, considering the large size of the adult bird, mature early. The eggs are of fine quality, brown-shellied, and of fair size. Some people have an ob- jection, which is purely a fancy, to yellow- fleshed and yellow-legged table poultry, and so refuse White Wyandotte fowls; but their flesh is plentiful and of first-rate quality, and the bones being small, the good weight is a strong point in their favour. When the birds are kept in close confine- ment by the town poultry-owner, there ia tome difficulty in preserving the delicate purity of the plumage; but this is overcome by the fairly simple process of washing.

YEAR-BOOK AND REGISTER, 1914. j The Year Book for 1914, issued by tihs Utility Poultry Club, 68b, Lincoln's ITm 1 Fields, London, W.C., ie now in ita six- teenth year of publication, and contains, as usual, a mine of information of intere-st to those connected with the poultry industry. Full particulars are given of the great Twelve Months' Laying Competition held in 1912-13 by means of a grant of C500 from the Development Fund, together with brief particulars of every laying competition held in this country. Two more laying compete lions are b-eing held this year with the &id of further grants from the same source. Among numerous features of interest is an article by Mr. B. W. Home (the president of the club) on "Fox-hunting and Poulirv- fceeping"; Statistics of Eggs and Poultry, specially contributed) by Mr. Edward Brown; I a list of articles of interest appearing in the Press throughout the year; while the valuable monthly notes for poultry-keepers and a ma&a i of other useful information are retained. I The register of breeds, giving particular* of strain, locality, and housing conditions of over 1.000 pens of -Litzlity stock kept by mem- bers, is indispensable u> those who specialise in laying strains. The Utility Poultry Club is, as will be seen from this publication, doing very valuable1 work for the poultry industry in this country. A membership subscription of 18. 6d. includes « copy of the book. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. D. G. IR. "I'RES I-" R. N G WOOD FOB BUILDINGS is usually performed by putting the wood in iron cylinders, extracting the ail from tfi-e pores and pumping in creosote. Wood ca.n be obtained specially treated in this way. Failing this the best- preservative is either three good coats of paint or a dress- ing of tar. Feed chickens on a specially pre- pared mixture of ha.rd grain sold by all corn dealers, providing ;no soft food until they are a mouth old, unless intended for' the table. Soft food for chickens can consist of ground oats and middlings moistened with wa.rm water, or milk and fed only in a fresh condition. B, F. P."—RATTLING IN THE THROAT is a symptom of a cold on tll" lungs, generally due to dampness and improper ventilation of the roosting-hoi:ce. Keep the hen in a I dry. airy place, which is free from draughts, give her a teaspoonful of glvcerine at night, and add ten drop," of -snip; -vie'acid to a pint of wiater to acidulate it 'ightly it should be supplied in an earth- ware drinking vessel. The spice you have • 'ard is used as a preventive of this trouble composed of equal parts of powdered aun ed, fenugreek, liquorice, and ginger, and is n ed at the mte of a teaspoonfu.1 to ten adult birds, being mixed with the morning soft food. R. J." DESTROYING FERTILITY IN EGGS is liable to fail, and to cause dissatis- faction amongst customers. which have been pricked, or have had the yolka broken, do not poach. A common' practice is to dip the larger end. of the egg imo boil- ing water for thirty seconds. By far the most ,satisfadory methodl is to get- all the eggs required for sitting purposes, and them take the cock out of the pen. Dora. "-ICE-COLD DRINKING WATER.— Thanks for your note calling attention to the foolishness, not to cay cruelty, of allow- ing the water in the drinking v-ossels to be- come frozen, or even of letting the bird's drink water that is icy cold. This, of course, chills the organs and impairs digestion, and laying hens, which naturally require a large amount of water, cannot possibly produce so many eggs as if water with the chill off is supplied and, renewed twice a day. L. G. U."—PREPARING OYSTER SHELLS. —You did wrong to burn them, for heat converts them into common chalk. The shells should be well mixed with unslaked lime, and placed in a galvanised iron pail. The lime is then slaked by pouring on water. The pail is covered with a sack, and left for two days, when the shells can be removed and exposed to the air until ready to be broken up in a grit crusher, and p.ut in a box where the birds can help them- selves. The lime, by the bye, is quite suit- able to use in lime-washing a house. "C. O.FuNNEL-FEEDI-G. -This w a French method of fattening, white metal funnels with a pewter mouthpiece being used. The food is prepared from finely- sifted meal, mixed with milk and water to a paste that will run readily. The bird is held firmly between the operator's knees, the neck stretched out and the mouth opened, and the funnel quickly but gently passed down the throat. About one-sixteenth of a pint should be given for the first three day at eight-hour intervals, and one-eighth of a pint for the rest of the period of fourteen to sixteen days.

The Chief Corrective This is a title which may be applied with- out exaggeration to the celebrated specific—Beecham's Pills. So very try ing to the average constitution is the strenuous character of modern life, that one becomes increasingly liable to get "run down." Such a condition of lowered vitality is fraught with considerable danger to health, for the bodily system is less able to withstand the attacks of disease. Beecham's Pills are an excellent wedicine for modern times. They suit our requirements. They meet our needs. Their gentle, yet thorough influence as an aperient speedily stimulates the liver to | health v activity, and their excellent tonic propel ies strengthen the stomach in a marked degree. Such distressing ail- ments L-I. biliousness, constipation flatu lence, indigestion and headache—in- dications that the health is below the normal-are quickly dispelled and the return »to a more vigorous state is estab- lished. Beecham's Pills ate prepared with the most scrupulous care from in- gredients of vegetable origin having great curative value, and they cannot fail to prove beneficial to all who use them, if the directions are followed. Be- yond all doubt, the medicine for modern times, i and for giving tone and vim to the system is BEECHAMS PILLON Sold everywhere inboxes price IIIl (56 pills) & 2/9 (168 pills) E.
