Poultry Notes for March.

March is the best month to set hens
for early chicks.
Never set hen in the same coop
with layers. Have separate, retired
place where she may he undisturbed
and where she may be able to find
water and q dust bath.
Early broody hens are not always re-
liable sitters; therefore be very sure a
hen means business before entrusting
valuable eggs to her care. Nine eggs
will frequently be found enough if the
month is cold. A hen must be able TO
cover her eggs entirely during cold
weather.
Give your houses plenty of fresh air
every day until the time comes to let
the stock run out.
Kerosene roosts upper and under side
every week.
Keep up the daily supply of green
food, and if your hens are laying
strong, as they should DE. keep shell
boxes well filed.
Advertise your stock and eggs for
sale
