Confined Birds.

nave seen a great deal in the pa
pers about the superior laying that
can be done by birds that have the
run of The farm. Now, I do not believe
that. | think it is better for the fowls
to have the run of the farm. as they
are healthier that way and also hunt
their W living, eating up the bugs
II a would otherwise injure the crops
OF the farmer. But for the mere lay
Ing of eggs | think hens in confine-
ment are as good as any. | find that,
so far as the eggs are concerned, |
get the best results in the latter part
OF the winter when the ground is GOV
cred with snow and when the hens
would not run If they could. Febru-
airy and March are the best egg
months with me, with April a good
thlrd, but the record in April Is not
due 10 the fact that the fowls have
the run of the farm. | am willing TO
admit, however, that as mems are
kept on some farms they will not do as
we'll shut up as running, for the rea.
o that they are stuffed all winter
with an unnatural combination of
foods.
| do not feed my hens in that way,
but see that all through the winter
they have as good feed as they would
get in the summer time. They have
green stuff and all the lime, meat, grit
and the like, they will eat. | try to
give them a bulky food. If they have
that kind of a food It takes them
longer to do the work of digestion, but
the work is not so hard on the diees-
tive organs. | am o much in favor
of feeding the fowls only three times
or twice a day. | think if they have a
bulky food they can eat about when
they want to and it will do no harm.

can be readily known and recognized
by means of the naked eye, but a

more apparent. These mites are very
destructive to poultry and kill more

Their smallness makes them hard to

all the crevices in a poultry house
