quently, than to make them work on
hard boards.
Cleanliness is an essential part of
the hen s comfort. Indeed, il has been
clearly demonstrated that foulness in
the coop will, directly or indirectly,
stop egg production In the first place,
unclcanliness is the harbor of vermin,
and the hen that is infested with lice
or mites cannot work. The effect is
the same as that of cold-the strength
of the hen is taken up with fight for
her blood. Tho fuel that should go to
the egg organs is diverted to repair
the tissues torn down by the parasite.
She gets no rest at night, and in the
| daytime she mopes about listlessly
when she ought TO he working for her
food. II the dropping boards are not
cleaned frequently, and every day is
not too often, they win be found to be
alive with mites which swarm up onto
the ruosts Mt night and sap the life OF
the hen. Cases of neglect are very com.
mon where the blood filled insects are
scraped off by the cupful in the morn.
| ing Every crack is full, dry manure
is found to be literally alive with them,
while the roosts themselves are almost
red with the millions of parasites. The
poultryman wonders where they came
from. II is hard question to answer
but they are there. They seem ia
spring from nowhere and to become
myriads before he is aware of their
presence. The nest boxes are found
to be infested, and the hens refuse to
use them. The litter is full aud con,
slant stream of the little pests is found
to course up and down the legs Of the
hen. Can you expect her to lay under
these eonditionse
A further serious objection to the
uuelean dropping board in summer is
that il becomes breeding place fol
maggots. Now the maggot is grub

as egg producers. But the maggot i.

ground thoroughly and then spade il

somewhat from the surrounding dirt,
and, If the coop is on slope, bitches

then never cease to be vigilant. If
these directions are followed the YER

If the trouble is lice, different
method must be followed, for the mite
works only at night, when the hen is
on the roost, or when she is quiet on

the hen all the time. Plenty of ashes
for busting will act as deterrent to
lice, but will not be found wholly eff.
fective as a rule. A good poultry pow

to time, and should be sifted thorough

held head down. If the trouble seems
to be confined to the head and neck,
an application of kerosene and lard
will be found very effective. This is
especially valuable in the treatment of

The value Of the scratching pen as
an egg producer has been demonstrate
ed over and over again in recent years.
1t is related that the effect of scratch
ing was discovered by accident. A
farmer had a hen that stole its nest
late in the season and came off with a
large litter of chickens. The weather
was so cold that she could not be al
lowed to run at large with her flock,
and was confined in an old shed where
the floor was covered with depth of
several inches of chips. Food was
thrown TO the flock aud a lively
scratching began. the old hen keeping
up the practice day after day. In a
few days she was heard to cackle, and
upon investigation, number of eggs
were found in an old stove in the shed
The hen continued to lay regularly un.
til her chicks We're weaned, while the
balance of the flock, which was fed
every day on the ground in front OF
the coop, produced no eggs at all. An
experiment with number of the flock
followed. and the result verified the
suspicion that scratching was respon
sihle. Now the scratching pen is re
garded as necessity in winter and i.
provided in many of the largest poul
try farms in the country. 1t furnishe,
heat necessary for the fowl, gives hel
an appetite and Keeps her from becom
ing overfat. Scientific investigation
has revealed the fact that the laying
organs are stimulated by the exercise
becoming more prolific and changing
in few days from a state Of low dor
NANCY to one of high production.
The exercise theory is well adapte,
to that of the open front house. L
