With a very little outlay of mon
ey and time you can build a good,
comfortable house for your fowls.
Let it face the south, with windows
to give light and warmth when the
sun shines. Spend an hour each
day in feeding, watering and caring
for your fowls. Remove all the
droppings every day or two, preserv-
ing them carefully in a heap; your
American guano will repay you for
all the care and feed you give your
fowls. Keep your house clean and
we'll ventilated and you will have a
plentiful supply of eggs in winter
as we'll az in summer, and the time
that you spend in the care Of your
fowls will pay you larger per cent.

Farmers Care Of Fowls.


There is probably DO other inter
est on the farm SO generally neg
lected as that of poultry. 1t is a
common phrase among farmers that
"ehickens can scratch fer living
and this comprises about all the care
they receive. Summer or winter,
rain or shine, cold or warm in all
kinds Of weather they are left to
take care of themselves, gaining
precarious living. roosting on trees,
fences. the managers or racks in the
stable; they are merely suffering as
a nuisance, rather than cared for as
they should be. In our cold win
ter months, for want of proper shell
ter, combs and wattles are frozen,
and feet are eften lost from the eff
fects of the extreme cold. If we
were to accuse our farmer friends of
cruelty, they would open their eyes
in innocent surprise. But it is not
downright cruelty, to allow your
fowls to go through our long cold
winters without proper care or shell.

suffer before they lose combs, wattles
and feet? The trouble is not that
any are Intentionally guilty of cruel
~. But the old ''scratch for them,
selves" adage has been so long and
persistly taught that men believe in
it and act accordingly. The care of
the fowls is a thing never thought
of, and the idea of providing COM
Portable quarters for them is unheard
of. Then we hear the complaint,
Eve get no eggs" Here are one
hundred hens eating more than they
are worth. and we do not get eggs
enough to keep us going atTthe
house." Phis may be all true, but
think for a moment Of the care you
have given them. They are simply
paying you in your own coin, and
even then are no doubt doing better
by far than you have done by them.
Perhaps fowls in the farm-yard
suffer more for want of pure water
in winter than from any other cause.
In the summer they usually get
plenty and do well enough. but in
our cold climate, when springs and
brooks are frozen solid, when tanks
and sswih pals are no longer avail
able, then their daily allowance is
entirely cut off, and often orweeks.
