Rules for Raising chickens.
Editors Country Gentleman: H. ze.43

Editors Country Gentleman: II, zs...: ..sa
Allow me to answer the queries of j. W.
B. in your paper Of March II, p. 1885, l
would advise him to follow. as nearly as
possible the following rules: l. Do not re-
move the chicks from the nest for eight or
ten hours after Matching. 2. Keep them
in q warm, clean, dey coop. 3. Do not let
them run out in the morning until the sun
has removed the dew from the grass. 4.
Let them have plenty Of food and fresh
water. 5. The coop must be vermin proof.
6. Do not let the chicks have access to slops
or stagnant water they are uery injurious.
7. See that the chickens are housed, or
rather cooped, when storm is threatening
this last is by no means least In lmpor-
lance, as in sudden hard rains the little
ones are frequently drowned.
The second inquiry-"H How many cocks
should run with fifty hens?"-would pro-
badly draw various answers from various
persons. In my opinion five Growers are a
plenty for flock Of fifty hens, although I
should prefer keeping ak. When breeding
carefully to procure certain breed, hVe or
six hens to one cock is about the proper
allotment.-L epis iHocf Jr.,t Fattar co1as'
ty, Va.
"The best method of raising and tend
ing chickens is to give as much freedom
as posible-to place small families together,
contriying cheap, comfortable roosts, which
will be cool in summer and warm In
winter. If J. w. B. is 80 situated as to
have plenty Of range for fowls on his own
private property, it will be found more
profitable to divide fifty hens into four lots,
putting twelve or thirteen hens with one
rooster, in plain common roost, fitted up
for comfort for the hens and not for show.
Should the reosts be all in one place, and
not so far apart but that the hens meet in
their travelling about, they will all keep to
their own homes at night, and not among
each other, as is the case where fifty hens
