How to Yard Fowls.

Never shut up a flock of fowls in a
small inclosure, thinking you will get
any good returns from them. A dozen
fowls should have at least yard 100
feet square. The yard or yards may
be more convenient by making them
narrow and longer, according to cir
cumstances. Use two-inch mesh poul
try netting, four feet wide, with a
board at the bottom, but none at the
top. This bottom board or boards, is
better two feet high, and thus pre-
vents the males from fighting through
the wire, but any width board is bet
ter than none at all, for with it you
can better stretch the wire, and make
a better job of fencing. 1t is not nee
essary to use higher fence, or wire
more than four feet, but no board
must be used on top or the fowls will
fly up on the top board and get out
If chance bird gets over this fence,
crop her wings by cutting only the
long stiff fight feathers from the last
joint of wing.
If possible when making yards en-
close all the shade trees you can get
in them. If trees are not already in
them, loose no time putting them
there A mulberry tbicket of the Rus
sian variety is the ideal tree for fowls.
as the fowls love the leaves and the
immense crop of berries they bear
We have a mulberry hedge through
our yards and the low branches spread
out near the ground 10 feet or more,
and the leaves are stripped up by the
fowls and the shade is perfection. 1t
is true that the poultry yard is good
place for fruit trees and fruit, but we
can also have as many fruit trees in it
as it will accommodate, beside the
mulberries.

Church Tower Out of Plumb.

It Is not generally known that Wen
ma possesses church with leaning
tower. This ancient edifice at Ober
st. Welt was included in 1910 In the
Vienna Bishopric. 1t was burned
down by the Turks in 1929, rebuilt in
1860, and again destroyed by the
Turks in 1858. In 1742 the rebuilding
of the church was once more under
taken, and was completed in three
years. The new tower, owing to some
defect in the construction, leans to-
wards His Majestys Thiergarten, al
though the droop is not observable
from the high road.

To have these yards arranged just

ing the best, or bokhara clover, which
I think is equally as good, .and thus
let out each flock on this grass run

According to good authority new
laid egg placed in brine made in the
proportion of two ounces of salt to one
pint of water, will at once sink to the
bottom. An egg one day old will sink
below the surface, but not to the bot
tom, while one three days old will
swim just immersed. If more than
three days old the egg will float or the
surface, the amount of shell exposed
increasing with age, and if two weeks
only, only little of the shell will
dip in the liquid.
