Care OF Fowls III Winter.

>ttEC VI fON ~ III " iHlcr.
From the Rural New Yorker.
rs the fall season approaches and the
'driving' work Oh the farm is over,
special attention should be given to the
care of poultry. Ere long the cold fall
rains will come and i; little later the
slect and snow and cold winds of winter,
and for these preparation should be
made in season.
Ifthc poultry house needs repairing.
now is good time to do it. Stop all
cracks and crcviccs through which the
! cold winds may blow, as nothing will
more surely injurc fowls than being
obliged to roost where they are in a
draft; see that no holes arc left in the
walls or foundations through which rats,
wcaselS, mnks and other fowl fancicl;,
may find lnJrtSs, and later on, un-
less the sides of the building are closely
boarded and patterned, nail felt or tar
paper upon the inner surface Of the sid
ing or between the outer siding and in
ner sheathing let straw be carefully
'tampcd' in. the objection to the use Of
the latter being that it affords a harbor
fer mice and rats unless special care is
taken in shcathing up inside. The
poultry house must be warm in winter
or the hens will not lay even if they do
not freeze.
Cleanliness is another important con-
silcration in regard to the poultry
house. How fowls live in some pens as
they do is 4 mystery! The very atmos-
pherc OF the room IS laden with noxious
gases and with the unwholcsomc fumes
arising from the eXcreta which are
scarcely more than twice year cleaned
and removed, Notwithstanding their
high value as a fertilizer.
To improper ventilation many of The
diseases to which fowls are subject are
traceable, since if the air breathed is
impregnatcd with noxiuus gasses and
impurities, the blood will become taint-
ed and bodily health impaired. Whcth-
er IN summer or winter, conveniences
for ventilation should be provided so
that, for short time each day, the i'm.
pure ar may be allowed to escape and
be replaced by that which is fresh. 1t
will be necessary occasionally, also, to
f!lnligatec the poultry-house to rid it of
lice and other vermin. This may be
done by burning in a small charcoal fur
mace handful Of tobacco stems, and
"Ao'AAonAAAS AAOSiy op1A1lNlC Ou q quar-
ter of a pound or so Of sulphur and let it
smoke for two hours OF course, the
fowls are to be removed during the
process.
Judicious feeding is also another mat
ter that requires consideration. Every
poultryman should understand that a
food that is good for one season Of the
year may not be foranother. He should
remember that fowls as we'll as other
animals like change Of food, and tnat
thev will thrive best on a variety, and
that while they should have enough to
eat they should not be overfed.
But whatever be the food, fowls
should have it regularly. They come to
expect it ut certain times of the day, and
will remind their keeper of his negli-
gence if he forgets them. Regular
feeding is beneficial to fowls in con-

Disease Among Farmers.

Pulmonary affections, says the Spring
field Republican. stand first among the
four most common diseases Of farmers
and indeed, Of the community at large.
Two causes are assigned for this result.
One is needless exposure to cold and wet,
especially wet feet, and another is bad
posture, Some kinds of work like set
ting out plants, spading, hoeing, moving
and wedding, favor cran1ped position;
but none Of them necessitate it, Indeed
one can better bear any work If lie
keeps his chest expanded and his lun's
we'll inflated. He can do any kind, OF
work better by bending at the hap than
by curving the spine and contracting the
chest. The French, Swiss and German
farm laborcr5 are far more erect than
American farmers.

Rye for FatteninS.

Farmers in some Of the states, notably
III Illinois, are feeding rye instead of
corn to their hogs 'because it is cheaper
and more fattening." The price of rye
this ,ar is low both in comparison with
the range Of prices in other years,
and with the price of corn
at present The crop Of the current
year is expected to turn out heavier
than usual, large amount of old rye
from last years crop is still on hand and
the stock of old whisky is very unu-
s,ally heavy. The high price of corn
will undoubtedly lead to the lessened
employment Of it as stock feed, both by
the sparing use of it and the substtu-
ton Of other forms Of feed. In this con-
nection, why i'll the name Of common
sense DO not people plant turnipS and
other roofs more libcrally for supple
mentary stock feed when corr, threatcns
to be short? Even wheat is reported to
be used as feed in many places instead
of corn. In view of the probable short
age in thi, crop again this year, it is
very likely that an unusually large area
of green fodder crops will be used as
supplementary feed.
