Object In Poultry Keeplno.

Poultry raising like everything else
must be conducted with an object In
view, says the Mirror and Farmer. II
one desires to keep hens that will pro.
duce the largest number OF eggs in a
year he must select the breed that is
adapted to his conditions and climate
depending upon hardness rather than
prolificacy. 1t may not be profitable
to keep the best breed" unless It can
endure the climate, where the winter
season IS very cold, for no breed will
lay that is unable to brave the cold. If
eggs are the main object the nouItrv.
man or farmer must feed with that
purpose in view. Everyone who feeds
for eggs should keep in view the fact
that laying hen is not intended for
the market, and that making sucb
hens fat Is no part of the management
for egg production.

The Clean Poultry House.

Nothing does so much harm and
causes such loss as the parasites that
abound in many poultry houses. Re-
move all perches and nests and burn
the filings of the nests. Give the
roosts and nests a thorough good coat
Ing of coal oil. and IL desired burn it
of. Clean out the hen house, then
give it a good coating of whitewash
with carbolic acid in it. This will
make the walls light and destroy
pests. The floor and ceiling should
be white-washed as well as the walls.
If there are many cracks and crevices
in the walls il should be advisable to
fumigate the place by burning sulphur.
If the walls were whitewashed only
recently, it might do now to wash the
walls with strong carbolic wash and
then a few days later fumigate the
place. When thoroughly clean re-
turn roosts and nests and put new fill
ing in the nest boxes. Keep a supply
of nice dry earth for dust bath, and
the hens will keep themselves pretty
free of lice during the winter.

How to Famieate Poultry House,

Remove all nests, perches. and
everything that is portable. Put a
pound of sulphur in an iron pan with
some burning coals,in the middle of
the house. Then close up the doors.
windows. and all other openings, and
let them remain so for two or three
hours. Afterward paint the roosts
and nest boxes thoroughly with coal
tar, and whitewash the house both in
side and out with lime. A spraying
pump is very useful to get the lime
wash into the crevices in the roosts
and walls, and 1t is beneficial to add
some carbolic acid to the lime-wash.
Once a house is thoroughly freed from
vermin 1t is easy to keep 1t so by at
tending to it regularly and taking the
precautionary measure OF frequent
lime-washing.
