Preparing Market Poultry.

In preparing fowls for market, re-
member that they should not be al
lowed any food for at least twenty
four hours before killing, but give
them all the water they will drink.
They will dress much better, look
fresher, and retain their natural color
much longer if this is done. If you
dress fowls with full crops they are
apt to turn dark and will sour quickly,
especially if the weather happens to
turn warm. Begin picking before the
fowl gets cold-the sooner after it is
dead the better-and in packing, fill
the box so snugly that the contents
cannot shuttle around. Do not be-
gin to pack until all the animal heat
has scaped.-Farmer's Home Journal.

Poultry Notes.

/ Have regular hours for feeding YOU
| poultry. Irregular feeding otter
causes arrangement of the digestive
organs, and this means impaired
health and fewer eggs.
Do not allow the fowls outdoors
unless the runs are clear of snow
Poultry that are compelled to eat
snow to quench their thirst are apt
to suffer from bowel disorder.
Cleanliness is an important factor
in winter egg production. Filthy quar-
ters mean lice, and lousy hens will
not produce eggs The comfortable
bird is the one that pays a profit.
If the bride could look ahead and
see herself working hard, early and
late, getting only her board and clothes
and not much of either, and helping
earn home for the, second wife, she
would fling off the veil and go to rails
ing chickens.
When the litter on the floor of the
poultry house becomes damp and dirty
throw it out and put in some fresh.
The hens will enjoy it and they will
be healthier, and besides on the farm,
straw, hay and chaff are cheap and
easily obtained.
Il there is any bad weather coming
to us, it generally makes it's appear
ance during February. The wise poul-
tryman is the one who has already
prepared for that emergency, and his
hens are not only comfortable, but
are laying eggs in large quantities.
Can a hen lay or not, as she wills?
It certainly does look that way. All |
know that if we move hens from one
yard to another there will be a great
falling of IN eggs IA change Of fix
