fatteuiue Poultry,

No operation connected with the
poultry yard requires greater atten-
ton and experience than fattoning
fowls in coops Here is what is said
about this matter in II poultry look for
the many: Oatmeal aud barley meal
alternately mixed with milk and oc-
casionally with IL little dripping, is II
good food. The feeding troughs, which
must be kept constantly secured. should
10 placed before the birds at regular
intervals, and when they have eaten
sufficient it is better to remove them,
placing II little gravel within reach of
the coops TO assist digestion. Oats and
rice are far inferior To oatmeal III their
flesh forming properties. Keeping the
birds without food for some hours after
they are put up frequently induces
them to take it more readily afterward,
hut sufficient attention is rarely be-
slowed on the various details of prep
aration and supplying the food, Hence
the complaints of the fowls deteriorat-
ing in the fattening pen are far from
uncommon. Access To water should
be- allowed at all times.
Fattening must be completed i'll 10
DAYS, for after that period they begin
to lose weight The best age for table
birds is when they are from 4 to 8
months old. The coop should be 3 feet
high. = feet wide and feet long This
will admit from six to eight birds, ac
cording to their size. The bottom and
front should be of bars three inches
apart. A hoard outside the bars in
front. inches wide. will serve as Il
stand for the food and water troughs.
The coop should be ina well ventilat
ed clubhouse, and if kept dark between
the times Of feeding all the better.

Salisbury. who gave them their liberty
during the day. but confined them
at night, or at least. in the jail as their
sleeping place, but that it was kept as a
market for slaves, or that they were ex-
amined here before the purchase was
made, is a falsehood from the whole
