GOOD CARE IN HOT WEATHER
Constant Attention Must Be Given
That Hens and Young Chickens
Have Plenty Fresh Water.

During the spring and summer
months constant care must be taken
to see that the hens and young chick
ems have plenty of water and shade,
says writer in the Iowa Homestead.
The hens cannot manufacture eggs
without a liberal supply of water, as
large per cent. of eggs is composed
of water. The growing flock, too, will
not develop properly if half famished
from thirst. This may mean no win
ter eggs from the pullets.
If one would take the best care OF
the flock he should give it fresh water
in the morning and just after noon.
The water that stands in fountain
very long becomes stale and I'M
healthy. Water should always be
pure and the vessels clean. 1t is wise
to keep the water vessels in the shade
of the house or trees all the day.
This leads to the important question
of shade. No fowls will do we'll in
warm weather without sufficient
shade. have made it a special point
to notice my hens in the summer, and
l have discovered that along toward
the middle of the day they will seek
shelter from the suns hot rays. They
will either retire to the shade of a
tree or the shelter of the poultry
house. They prefer to get away from
the house If they can find suitable
shade elsewhere. If no trees are
growing in the yard and there are no
bushes or shrubbery of any kind
where the flock may find shade 1t
will be well to construct an artificial
shade by setting posts into the
ground, one at each corner of a par
allelogram plot. Nail crosspieces to
these and place boards on them. Here
the hens may find retreat from the hot
sun.

back of England's policy of keeping the army and
militia out of Irish agrarian troubles. Ireland
used to be good recruiting ground for these lat
