Keep Hens Scratching.

Fowls kept in artificially heated houses
are more apt to contract colds than 9TH
erwise. After having heated their bod
les they of a sudden go outdoors TO
meet a temperature a good many de-
grees colder. In this the scratching shed
does noble work. 1t is a good ''go
between" gradually introducing the
poultry 20 the change. The shed being
POSSIBLY 10 degrees colder than the
roossiug pen, it likewise is 10 degrees
warmer tSn the outside temperature
Certainly this gradual change is less
dangerous than q sudden exposure to 90
degrees colder.
If the scratching shed is under the
same roof with the roostjng pen, which
IL should be. n muslin door can be fas.
tened In front, which. during Indictment
weather, can DO kept closed.

come greatly changed IL not extinct.
The greatest change has been merely in
tho selection Of lighter oolored birds Of
the simple Gray Dorkings and called
Silver Grays, all other points having
been left undisturbed for the last so
years. But this does not apply to the
variety called Colored Dorkings, seen
in the illustration. These are bred dark
or than they were years ago, making the
distinction between the two varieties
more defined. OF course, since poultry
shows have become popular, uniformi-
ty in markings, size, etc, has been
more regarded. Dorkings are becoming
more appreciated every year. More
birds are shown at u exhibitions than
in former times. There is no doubt they
will be still more appreciated when bet
ter understood.
They do not stand confinement like
the Asiatics, but with a fair run and
proper care few birds can compare with
them as layers, and they are par excel.
lence for the table. They are a long liv-
ed breed, continuing their laying TO an
advanced age; they are also careful
mothers, caring for their broods longer
than most fowls.
