THE FARM RANGE.
1t simplifes the Keeping of Chick
ems, and Reduces Cost of Egg
Production.

On the farm there is no better way
OF handling hens than by giving them
a free range during as much of the
season as possible. If the hen houses
are at some distance from the house,
the fowls will not become a nuisance
ii they are given free range. 1t is
said that hens and gardens do not go
together. but that, says the Farmers
Review, is only in case the fowls are
turned into the gardens when the
plants are just coming up or when the
fruit is ripening that may be eaten by
tho fowls. The farmer has an immense
advantage in being able to raise fowls
without keeping them confined. They
thus keep healthy and find a large part
OF thoir own food. This greatly re-
duces the cost of producing eggs on the
firm.

LOUSY HENS.
They Are Liable to Become Unpro-
ductive-Use of Lard to Com
bat Evil.

Lice on hens are frequently the
cause of the birds becoming unproduc-
tive. If hens are neglected and have
not access to a dust bath they win be
unable to fight the insects success
fully. They can protect themselves but
little by their beaks. A hen that is
overrun with lice, a y the Farmers
Review, will permit the wings and
feathers to droop in a way that makes
a novice think she is sick from some
disease. 1t is well to examine hens
having that appearance. and If the lice
are found use lard on them. The lard
should be applied in the places in
which the lice congregate. which are at
the base of the wing feathers, at the
base of the long tail feathers, on top of
the head and under the wings. Apply
the grease, but do not apply 1t all over
the bird.
