HEIGHT OF PERcHEs.

The perches should also be low.
There is no advantage in high roosts.
Two feet above the ground is plenty
high enough for the roosts. BY max
ing roosts low and level the fowls
will not crowd each other, no injury
will result to bodies or feet in getting
on or off, and no fight for preference
OF position will take place, to say
nothing of superior ventilation, etc.
Nest boxes should be built so that
they may be readily cleaned and
disinfected, and removable to take
outdoors. Nest boxes should be sep
arate and not joined. Soap boxes are
excellent. Locate them in a. rather
dark, quiet corner. Cut away one
side of the box for a few inches SO
the hen will have to walk into the
nest and not jump down on the eggs.
Nests and roosts should both be
taken outside the building frequently
and lightly brushed with kerosene.

FARM AND GARDEN

Answer: There are no hard and
fast rules for feeding weanling colts,
as there is SO much difference I'm
the breeds, etc. Prof. Henry's
Feeds and Feeding says that two
pounds of oats daily and what hay
they will eat. Yealing colts four
pounds of oats and hay for roughage,
and as they seem to eat and relish
the feed some wheat bran may be
added to the daily ration. A little
oil meal only as the colt increases
in age may be given.
Mares in foal should be fed oats
as preference, also some shorts ana
bran mixed with the oats. Washes
should be fed occasionally OF bran.
Cooked feed three times a week Is
also recommended. For roughage
good hay is the best, with the other
foods already mentioned. Six to ten
pounds of oats and ten to twelve
pounds of hay are daily rations, ac-
cording to size and kind of mares.
Drafters will require more, and the
feeder will readily see how much
more.-Indiana Farmer.
