July and August are trying months
on the poultry. Egg production is
apt to decrease and many fowls become
diseased. To guard against this, one
should keep fowls free from lice and
mites, provide plenty of shade and an
abundance Of pure clean water to
drink.
The dust bath is necessary to keep
down lice, and it is we'll to add ashes
or tobacco dust to the busting places
at least once a week at this season..
If there is nc natural shade, it must
be provided for in some way during
the middle of the day if fowls are ex-
pected TO do their best. At this sea-
son chickens will drink twice as much
water as earlier, and it should be pro-
yided fresh, clean and pure at least
three times a day. The drinking YES
sells should be washed out at least
once a day. More troubles come
among fowls at this season because OF
insufficient or impure water than
from any other cause, excepting lice.
During July, August and Septem-
Der q little copperaS SnOulu DC duueu
to the drinking water al least once a
week. Put in enough to make it taste
quite strong of iron, as this is a good
tonic for them at thiSltime.
A little sulphur fed in the soft food
once a week is also a good thing for
both old and young, as sulphur enters
into the composition OF both eggs and
feathers. Plenty of green food is an
other essential at this season, If we
would keep fowls healthy. They, like
Deople, need to have easily dlgested
food in enough variety to tempt their
! appetite and little helps in the way
of tones during the long trying sum
mer to keep them at their best.-Cor-
respondence Southern Farm Ga
