SUMMER VENTILATION.
An Important Matter That as a Cen
eral Thing Receives Too Little
9 "a Attention from POultrSmen

II Summer is the time when the ordi-
nary owner Of Gathered stock thinks
there is no"need of looking after ven,
tilation. Yet the summer ventilation
OF the poultry house is as necessary as
the winter ventilation of the same.
There are two makeshifts for proper
ventilation or airing. One is to leave
the doors and windows open at night,
with the fowls exposed to all kinds of
night prowlers, and the other is to
shut up the fowls in place that
would be considered intolerable as a
bed chamber for the owner of the
fowls. The writer has known some
great disasters to follow the first
course, and he cannot doubt that
much suffering follows the second.
One old man, that had left his poultry
house door open during summer
nights for years, finally had his roosts
raided by hungry 'coon. Another
man had his entire flock of more than
20 fowls destroyed in one night by
some wild animal from the forest,
though this man lived in the edge of
village or more than 1000 inhabi-
tants.
The poultry house may be exposed
to the air in perfect safety by an ex-
pense of few cents for wire net
ting. Two-inch mesh is suitable
where the danger is not great from
rats and weasels, but as inch wire
mesh costs little, it is: usually safer
to use that. AS soon as the weather
becomes warm in the spring, take out
the windows, and put in this wire net
ting, mailing it on over the outside, so
If it becomes necessary during sud-
den cold spell to put in the windows
temporarily, this can be done without
trouble. The fresh air thus admitted
will be of great value to the health
and comfort of the fowls.-M. G.
Thurston. in Country Gentleman.

Bone In the warm sea.on.

Some persons are disposed to use
green cut bone only in winter, but a
small quantity fed once day in
spring and summer will greatly pro-
mote laying and be Of much advan-
tage to moulting hens. The bone cut
ter does not grind" bones, but cuts
those fresh from the butcher, and a
pound Of green cut bones, given at
night to 20 fowls will cost but little
and prove beneficial in promoting lay
ing. For geese and ducks there is no
food that will show better results, es-
pecially for those that are growing
as it supplies the elements Of growth
and thus prevents them from having
leg weakness. Do not give too much,
but use it moderately in connection
with variety Of other foods. 2. II.

Dampness is fatal to young turkeys.
Give young turkeys good range

Too much hard boiled eggs will

Allow no decomposing vegetable

Destroy the nest of the setting hen

Vertigo in. fowls arises from a bad
condition of the digestive organs.
Have the perches not more than two
