To Fatten Chickens.

1t is hopeless to attempt to fatten
chickens while they are at liberty ;
they must be put into a proper coop;
and this, like most other poultry ap-
purtenanccs, need not be expensive
10 fatten twelve fowls, a coop may
be three feet long, eighteen inches
high, and eighteen inches deep,
made entirely of bars. No part
solid, neither top, sides, nor bottom.
Discretion must be used according
to the size Of the chickens put up.
Care must be taken to put such as
have been accustomed to be togeth-
cr, or they will fight, if one is quar-
relsome, tits better to remove it at
once, as, like other bad examples,
it soon finds imitators. A diseased
chicken should not be put up.
The food should be ground oats,
and may either be put up il a trough
or on fiat board running along the
front of the coop. 1t may be mixed
with water or milk-the latter is
the better. 1t should be well
soaked, forming u pulp as loose as
can be, provided it does not run off
the board. They must be well fed
three or four times a day, the first
time as soon after daybreak as may
be possible or convenient, and then
at intervals of four hours. Each
meal should be as much and no
more than they can cat up clean.
When they have done feeding, the
board should be wiped and some
gravel may be spread; it causes
them to feed and thrive.
After a fortnight of this treatment
you will have good fat fowls. As
soon as the fowl is sufficiently
fatted it must be killed; otherwise
it will not get fatter, but will lose
flesh. If fowls arc intended for
market, Of course they are or may
be all fatted at once; but if for home
consumption it is better to put them
