If your fowls have been contted
to a yard or run during the summer
months change it if possible. If not,
plough or spade up the old one.
Scatter thickly some corn or other
grain and rake it in so that they will
have to scratch for it. What they do
not find will sprout and afford green
food for them. Give them all the to-
matoes that are over ripe or not fit for
market. Threw the riHds of muskmel-
ons and watermelons and the cobs
from which cCrn has been cut for din
ner. Rake up this debris every day or
two and put it on the compost heap
