Feather pulling is vice that comes
from confinement and idleness; there
is no remedy, but it may be prevent
ed in a measure by so feeding the
owls that they will be compelled to
scratch. 1t is contagious, to degree,
if one or two fowls become addicted
they are apt to teach the others. For
this reason, preventive measures in
the way of giving the fowls something
to do should be adopted, but if any of
the hens acquire the habit, the quick
er they are killed and marketed the
better, or soon the whole flock will be
at it, and this means ruination to all.
The hens must be regularly and well
fed if they are kept in good laying
condition. Gather up the scraps from
the kitchen, put them into pot that
should be kept in the stove. Usually
it will cook sufficiently through the
day and be warmed up while break
fast is being cooked. If the quantity
is not sufficient add wheat, bran and
milk to make up good feed. Give it
warm-not hot for breakfast, and try
to have it ready as soon as they fly
down from the roosts. At noon give
whole wheat, oats, sorghum seed or
something of this kind, changing Of

proper to defer planting new trees
until the old ones die out, as it then
