POULTRY MANAGEMENT,


valuable suggestions Furnished by Noted
English Expert.
Mr.. William II. Goodwin, a well
known contributor to English poultry
literature, in an address at IIarg, En-
gland, on the keeping of poultry in re-
gard to essentials, held that proper
management was almost as important
as breeding. The essentials were
shelter, warmth and ventilation, not
more than sixty head being placed to-
gether. Nests should be placed on the
ground, with not more than eleven
eggs under each hen. 4 little flower
OF sulphur should be scattered in the
straw OF the nest to keep away insects.
Pip, or true gapes in chickens, could
be cured by amounting the heads and
nocks of the chickens after Matching
with common vascline. of which one
ounce would do a hundred chickens.
lie had reared thousands by using this
simple remedy, and had never known
1t to fail. When ready for the coop,
the chickens should be given some
pulrerized oyster shells, and after that
their food should consist of croats or
canary seed, altcrnated with soft
biscuit food. Later on they should be
given small wheat and cracked Indian
corn. and then whole corn alone.
BuckWheat, oats, wheat and barley
should then be the food, and heavy
birds should not have Indian corn,
except in very cold weather, as
1t interferes with their LAYING
properties. Fowls should have perfect
liberty and II sutliciency of clean water
in iron OF earthenware mot zinc) YES
sells; and flower of sulphur must not
be strewn in the laying nests for fear
OF giving the eggs Il bad flavor. The
walls of the f%owl-house should be
washed with hot lime and a little car
bolic acid, and the perches should be
treated twice Il year with II mixture of
paratlin and animal oil in order to kin
the insects that sometimes harbored
thefe' Feat moss was n good thing to
put under the roosts. and it would also
serve as a dust bath for the fowls. II
dcodor1zed the manure, and was also
valuable for potting purposes, whilst If
eggs were dropped on it during tho
night they Were seldom broken. The
perches should be about three feet six
inches, or four feet high, not too small,
whilst the bark should be stripped off.
because it harbors insects.
Another important point to be at.
tended to was the provision of II proper
amount of grit for the fowls. In tbe
bodies of eighteen fowls he had found
altogether a pound. of grit, including
bits Of coal, glass, brick and broken
hower-pots, and he supplied his own
fowls with pieces of broken bricks and
stones broken up in a mortar mill. II
was calculated that the amount of orr,
picked up by thirty-tive or forty fowl,
in a year was about one huulred
weight.-Farm Field and Stockman
