WATERING POULTRY.

How 1t Can BE Done in a Clearly and
Effective Manner.
Watering a large flock of poultry can
be accomplished in eleanly manner by
carrying pailful of water to the poultry
quarters and inverting it in a pan, as
shown in the sketch. This prevents the
fowls getting into the water, while the
water is let down as fast as needed. A
couple of sticks should be laid across
the bottom of the pan or hole made in
the pail an inch from the top, that the
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1896-04-09

water may rise in the pan. With this
there is little danger of
the hens upsetting the water dish,
which in cold weather makes such
trouble in the poultry house. More
over in cold weather pail of water will
keep warm much longer when inclosed
in this way-an important advantage.

Fluctuations OF Prices.
Remarkable contrasts are shown this

The comparisons cast much light on the
depression and increase in failures during
