Handling Fowls in Yards.

Where it is necessary TO keep the
fowls confined to houses and yards dur
ing the summer and not much chance
to divide the yards, the best way TO
handle them is to have the yards OF
four-foot netting, the top covered over
as well, and every few weeks move
these yards TO Il new location. where
fowls have not been the present year
This is considerable trouble. but II
must be done if chicks and fowls are
kept OH small area. If ii is not pos
sible to let the fowls have a range
then green food must be provided in
some way. A good plan is 10 give
them some cut grass or weeds at night
just before they go To rooSt.
A better plan Is to rake up the cut
tings following the lawn mower, Tor
they can consume these short blades
better than grass cut with n scythe.
All fowls in confinement ought TO hc
allowed to run for an hour or two each
night, even though II is necessary for
several people to keep them ont of mis-
chief. This run viii do them a world
of good, and the egg results Will pay
for the troubie of watching them
Don't forget the necessity for an
abundance of fresh water several
times daily.
