FOR THE POULTRY RAISER.

Nothing but disappointment ever fol
lows neglect of fowls.
Attractive appearance adds to the
selling qualities of poultry products.
Plan to grow some sunflOwer seeds
this summer for the poultry next win
ter.
The farm poultry house needs
cleaning often as we'll as that in town
or village.
If the fowls are kept in small yards,
see that they have some green stuff
every day.
1t is not so much what you do that
influences failure; it is what you don't
do that counts.
Work up an interest in your flock
of hens and note the interest with
which they will work for you.
Even mongrel flock deserves good
care, and will pay for it; but no one
should be satisfied with such a flock.
It's small matter for you to place
a fresh supply of water before the
hens each day, but it is great mat
ter to them, and to you, tOo-eggs
are largely composed of water.
If it is worth while to set hen at
all, it is worth doing well. Give her
a good nest, secure from interruption
by other hens, and opportunity to get
corn, grit and pure water whenever she
wishes.
If the poultry yard is inclined to
get muddy at this time in the year, it
will pay to fill it in with sand, Gin
ders or even clay until it is above
the general level. In any case it
should be drained SO as to dry quickly
after a rain.
