HENS NEED MUCH EXERCISE
Chicken That Scratches 10 Ono With
Quick Move, Brightest Comb
and Best Eco Record.

The question Of exercise Is one that
the poultrymen cannot study too care
fully. To keep In good health and
profit, all animal kind must take the
proper amount Of exercise. or they
will become sluggish and diseased. It
is not a very dificult matter to get
the hens down to work and II this
duty is involved upon them in early
life they will not forget their "early
training" and will know that in order
to have everything to eat they must
work for 1t.
Exercise prevents overfat in fowls.
Overfat is a diseased condition, the
penalty sooner or later being death.
A too-fat hen is an Indifferent layer
producing eggs Of all shapes and CON
ditions. 1t is. generally. the over-fat
hen that lays s~oft-shelled eggs. 1t is
the breaking Of these eggs in the
nest that leads On to the vice Of egg
eating. One trouble after another
follows this neglect of not having the
hens exercise.
The hen that scratches IL the ohS
that has the quick move. the bright
est comb. the happy air. and the best
egg record. She u business clean
through. The idle hen should not be
tolerated.
Early morning exercise IL Of untold
value. especially during cold weather.
II the fowl can get OF the roost and
at ono get down to scratching, It
will not only put itself into condition
for the day, but 1t will greedily pick
up its feed and properly digest 1t.
Contagious diseases do not, as a rule,
find victims in busy fowls-it is In
variably the idler that takes to every
thing that comes around. One Of the
greatest reasons why the hens Of
today are better layers than they
were in u forefathers' days is the
fact that u present day poultrymen
have discovered that the fowls must
DO induced to exercise, and It ia q
rule to compel them to do so.

Take care to keep plenty Of clean

Clean out nest boxes often at this
