In fattcning poultry many persons
neglect to feed often enough 70 secure
the best results. "a
II the quarters are SO cold that water
freezes readily the hens can hardly b
expected to lay eggs regularly.
By scattering leaves over the floor
and scattering small grain among them
. good opportunity for exercise will be
afforded the hens.
AT the first sign of disease all Of the
sick fowls should be separated from the
well ones and be put into . warm, dry
place 10 themselves.
THE best plan of supplying charcoal
to the poultry Is to burn corn, not black
but nicely Drowned; give them all that
they will cat up clean. f
