How I Bred $50 to $1600 in 2 Years 
I want to tell you bow one man took $50 worth of my 
kind of poultry and in two years multiplied them to sixteen 
hundred dollars in value. He was a novice and started in 
a box stall. A true and convincing story, told by the man 
himself. You can do the same, or start smaller and grow.

between yourself and the dog, moving 
around and behind him, and finally leav¬ 
ing the room altogether. Any disobedi¬ 
ence at any stage of the proceedings must 
be checked by a sharp reprimand (not a 
shout, however), for the dog knows per¬ 
fectly well when he is doing wrong. 
One thing more, and we will consider that 
Terry’s acquaintance with two of his three 
essential lessons is complete. That thing 
is obedience to a gesture signifying “lie 
down.” This is a simple, easily taught 
and very desirable accomplishment. It 
is, as a matter of fact, borrowed from the 
curriculum of the pointer or setter that is 
trained for field work in conjunction with 
the gun, but that does not make it any less 
fitted to the case of the “all ’round” dog. 
The gesture is merely an extending of 
your open hand away from your body, 
palm down and fingers together. To teach 
it, simply let it accompany the command 
“lie down” whenever the latter is given. 
The dog has by this time learned to watch 
your movements intelligently, and you will 
find that the gesture alone will soon be. 
promptly heeded. 
Feeding Poultry in Winter 
OOD feeding means a great deal’ 
towards success with poultry in 
the winter time and there are a number of 
feeding points that require closer observa¬ 
tion at this time than during any other 
season. 
In the first place the danger of over¬ 
feeding, which is often a bugbear in the 
spring and- summer, is liable to result in 
under-feeding in cold weather. Both ex¬ 
tremes are equally bad, with the added 
danger that underfeeding is the harder to 
detect. 
More food may safely be given at this 
season because extra heat and energy are 
required to maintain the bodily tempera¬ 
ture of the fowls during cold weather. 
For the same reason, the ration may well 
be composed of foods that are rather heat¬ 
ing and fattening. For example, corn, 
which should be used sparingly in hot 
weather, may now be fed comparatively 
freely. 
Variety in feeding is extremely es¬ 
sential. In pleasant weather the fowls 
can range out and vary their ration almost 
to suit themselves, but not so now; all they 
get is what is supplied them. So see to it 
that in addition to grain feeds they have- 
some form of meat or animal food and 
green stuff or vegetables supplied to them 
regularly and frequently. 
Ground beef scraps and green cut bone 
will supply the animal food. Almost any 
kind of greens, vegetables, tubers, etc., 
that the fowls will eat is good for them. 
In the absence of any or all of these, sup¬ 
ply clover or alfalfa hay. The fowls 
themselves will strip the leaves off the 
stems and eat them, or the stuff may be- 
cut into short lengths, boiled or steamed,, 
and added to the mash.
