Fowls In Hot Weather.

The average farmer thinks the fowls
can take care of themselves in hot
weather. Yet he will coop a brood OF
chicks in the open field, subject to the
direct rays OF the sun, and deem well
cared for. He forgets that fowls new
er perspire, and that the hens heart
is beating $50 times per minute, and
the little chicks still more. Watch
the focks where they have a choice,
and you will see that from ten to four
O'Clock one is hardly seen in the sun.
Shade is as essential to the best re-
suits as is the sun. Chicks cannot do
well in either shade or sunshine alone.
So give them the choice ofseeking the
sun or shade at pleasure.
