Keep Your Birds Tame.
There is one point in poultry manage
ment to which we wish to call especia
attention, as but few persons who real
poultry for profit ever attach much i'm.
portance, Notwithstanding it has great
influence upon the profits. 1t is to keer
your birds tame, whether they are kept
up in suitable enclosure during the en-
tire year or permitted to have unlimited
range, for it pays to do so, in many
ways. If you eep your birds tame, SC
they will come to you quickly at the cal
and eat out OF your hand without any
sign of fear or distrust, they will always
be quiet and content, and will fatten anG
thrive much better. This matter is wei
understood by breeders of the largel
kinds of stock, such as cattle, horses
sheep and swine, while there are sen
sible few who apply the same principle
with poultry.
Many fine nest of eggs has beer
destroyed by wild and frightened hen
a hen which had early learned to feal
her master or owner. II uniform kind

would suffer herself to be handled while
on the nest, and never once think O
eaving it in such hurry as to endanger
the eggs. II the poultry on the farm ii
kept tame, it is not very difficult mat
ter to catch one or more when wanted
for table or other uses. -America,
