We must keep her clean. If we are not careful tiny little bugs will get on her head or perhaps under her wings. What are they called?-A. Chicken lice. Q. Do we want them?-A. No. In town, for 10 cents, insect powder can be purchased. Put a little of thfS powder on the hen in this manner. Chicken lice are bad and we do not want our hen to have them, so we must keep her clean. Susie, you mlty write, "We must keep her clean." After our chickens are out and running around, if they have lice we may rub a little grease on their heads, like this, and an the mother hen, too, but We must not use grease when she is sitting, for it may hurt the eggs. Q. What can we do with our chickens when they have grown, Agnes?-A. Eat some of them. Q. Yes; I will write that. What else, Annie?-A. Sell some. Q. Yes; we may eat Rome of the chickens; sell some: keep some for laying. When our chickens are large enough to eat, how much can we get for each one?-A. Ta en&-flve cents. Q. Go to the desk and get 25 cents. If we sell another chicken, how much will we receive?-A. Another 25 cents. Q. Bring me another 25 cents Aud if we sell another chicken?-A. Another 25 cents. Q. How much money Is that?-A. Seventy-five cents Q. How do yon know?-A. Because 25 cents and 25 cents and 25 cents equals 75 cents. Q. Can you tell me that story In another way?-A. 25+25+25=75. Three tlmes 25 cents equal 75 cents. [As to whether it is advisable to teach the three forms here will depend upon the age and quickness of the children.] Q. Don't You think this Is a good deal of money for just three small chickens? Would you like to make this much money-and a great deal more? Don't you think a good way to make money would be to raise chickens? But you must not forget that you have to learn how to raise chicicens, then do it correctly, or Yon will not succeed. If you go about it carelessly or without knowing how, your chickens will not do well, or they may even get sick and die, and you will not make any money at all.
