Care Of Fowls.

There are few branches of farming that
pay as we'll as this, according to the amount
invested. A few fowls on q farm can, with
proper care, he made to pay . very large
percentage of the profit W ith a small out
lay.
A pullet that during her first winter
will not produce at least from forty to six.
ty eggs is 9 poor thing at the best, and
the market or Sunday dinner ia the only
place she can be put with profit. Give
them the best place that can be provided
for fowls to winter in. We do not mean
anything thati is costly or expensive to keep
up, but good senslble quarters where they
will not be disturbed, and have all the SUM-
shine possible, with a dry, pure stmos-
phere. The earth itself makes good floor
for henhouse when properly cared for.
As an incensive, however. for such care, a
plank floor il superior to all others, which
should be kept covered with drv earth or
sand, which, if occasionally renewed and
carefully saved, will be one of the best fer
tilizers on the farm. The food should be
of q quality that will tend to the produc-
tion of eggs for We are going to winter
large portion of the fowls for profit.
Fowls, on goiug into winter quarters, at
6rst seem to relish, and it really does them
the most good, TO be fed for time on
some solid grain. That which is most un-
iversally given is corn, but if we expect to
get the most good out Of them in the way
of eggs it will not do to give them too
much solid grain, 30 let their food be
changed every few days, giving as change
any grain that can be spared. They rel
ish it the best when pick ed from the
ground, but better way is to mingle the
food with a suitable variety and then feed
from trough suitable for the purpose,
keeping it before them all the time. A
good way to do with laying fowls is to
change J:their food entirely every week,
giving one week cooked food, such as
boiled corn and potatoes or scalded meal,
the next week giving dry grain and some
kind of raw flesh or beef scraps broken in
to pieces about the size of kernels of corn.
We have tried letting them pick it from
the cake but do not like that manner of
feeding. Also provide them with oyster
shells, pounded bone and gravel. Never
let il 60 out of mind that fowls like some
kind of green food during the winter and
be sure to give them a quantity now and
then, just o. often as they seem to relish
il. They are extremely fond of cabbage,
while .urnips Gu. 6ne and fed to them are
always welcome. An excellent plan is to
feed them every week or two . mess of
grained boiled with some red pepper pods
in it. Be sure and have before them at all
times a we'll filed box Of ashes and dry
earth; if . little sulphur is mixed with
it all the better, as great care must be ia
ken to see that they are not Infested with
insects, which are always troublesome
Always keep before them a good supply
of good, pure water. which important
matter is often neglected, and in winter
il is q good plan to bring it up to the
temperature Of rain water by heating
