such a case the yard must be closed
at certain times. The extent of the
poultry yard should be in proportion
with the demand available From this
point of view the neighborhood of
large towns is reason for giving great
Importance to the poultry yard, be-
cause the sale is abundant and lucra-
tive, and rearing is just as cheap as
in strictly rural districts. To feed
fowls cheaply it is good to place dung
heaps within their reach in which
seeds and insects abound. In poul-
try yard are reared hens, turkeys,
guinea-fowls, pheasants, peacocks, pig
cons, ducks, geese, and swans; some
for flesh, others for feathers or down.
The establishment expenses of a poul-
try yard should always be as small as
possible. It must be separated from
the other part of the farm by a wall,
wire-work or very thick hedge. A few
trees are useful to give shade and at
night shelter to the hens, turkeys and
peacocks which do not always care to
return to the house. There must be
hen house; one or two pools of wa
ter for the geese and ducks, unless
there is some pond or stream in the
neighborhood; tubs of pure water COW
cred for the hens to drink, which pass

mer's family, but to derive all the pro-
fit obtainable, &. certain number OF
principles must be followed which may
b1 epitomized as follows: The first is
to utilize for the fowls the resources
Of the locality or farm itself without
going to any great special expense.
Fowls should be fed on the least val
liable substances or ailments which
could not be otherwise utilized. Grain,
ETC., being of some commercial value,
should be added in small quantity as
a complement, and particularly for
fattening. The poultry yard should be
daily opened so that the fowls may
wander about in the vicinity in search
of insects and waste seed; these sub
stances, of no value, should play an
important part in their maintenance.
This principle, however, should be ap-
piled, reckoning the neighborhood of
crops, which fowls might injure. In

winter Raised chicks.

Eggs are too valuable in winter to be
used for Matching purposes unless one
is confident of securing good hatches
and of raising the chicks, says an ex-
change. To use a dozen eggs from
which only six chicks come and then
lose three of them, means an expen-
diture of four eggs for one chick, and
no one can afford the cost in that re-
spect. The heaviest loss of chicks is
with hens-not with incubators ana
brooders sand this fact should not be
overlooked. 1t is admitted that in the
spring and summer, when the hen has
everything in her favor she will be
more serviceable than the brooder, but
in the winter, when cold winds, ice,
snow and rains prevail, the hen has
a difficult undertaking to care for her
self instead of attempting to raise
brood, and as a rule the hens are for
tunate if they raise one-half OF the
chicks Matched. When hen becomes
