WATERING THE HENS IN WINTER.

Unless the hens can have plenty oft,
they cannot produce eggs. In the win
ter season, when the drinking vessels
become frozen up with ice and are liable
to crack from cold, the matter of provid.
ing water becomes a difficulty. We all
know that a cold draught of water in
winter chills the body, as it must be
warmed by the body after It Is drink;
consequently, ice-water causes a loss of
bodily heat. As the heat is produced
from the food, all losses of heat are losses
of food. Now,i it is just as easy to water
the hens at regular hours as it is to water
the large stock, and the best mode Of so
doing is to use wooden troughs long
enough to allow all the hens to drink at
the same time. Early in the morning
at noon and before night fill the troughs
with warm water, allow the hens to
drink until all are satisfied, and then
throw out the water that remains. In
this manner the troughs will be kept
clean, the hens will learn to drink. at reg
ular periods, and the warm water will
invigorate them. In fact, nothing is so
invigorating, or will assist in warding off
the cold when the hens come off the
roost in the morning, with the ther-
mometer below zero, than a drink of
warm water.-Farn and FIresade.
