Always have the nests SO low that
the hens can step In rather than be

II the fowls get too fat. oats as sin
gle food are one of the best grains that
can be given to lessen fat.
Mating birds to breed to feather is
a high art, to be acquired only by long

A fiat perch is best because Of being
the most comfortable to the feet and
the best support to the breast.
There are three breeds of fowls that
are prominently valuable as egg pro-
ducers. These are the Minorcas, Leg
horns and Black Spanish.
A medium sized active male is twice
as valuable as one that is large and
extra heavy. If large size and weight
are desired, select large hens, but the
male should be active and vigorous.
When a fowl has canker and the
mouth and throat are sore and ulcer
