DEFECTIVE HOUSING.

ks OF infrequently do poultry keepers
IN complain bitterly of the failure Of
their fowls to show profit, when
the whole fault lies IN defective hous-
ing. Poultry lead an entirely artificial
life when they live penned in run,
or even when at liberty and provided
with a sleeping house-that is to say,
they have their food provided them
and do not sleep in the trees as their
natural instinct would teach them. 1t
is simply the difference between sleep
ing in a house and sleeping in trees
that upsets them. When they do the
latter they may not lay well, but they
keep their health. More than half the
diseases from which fowls suffer are
caused primarily by This defective
housing.

Poultry Hints

Lime is best supplied by giving the
fowls access to crushed oyster shells.
Filthy milk will usually induce the
bowel disease among the young chicks.
A combination of high roosts and
heavy fowls seldom proves satisfactory.
When chickens are kept in the yard
throughout the year, green food is nee
essary.
When the fowls pick themselves fre-
quently, you may be sure that they are
infested with lice.
There is little danger of draught in
the poultry house if there is only one
opening in the building.
Never forget that poultry requires
grit and lime for digesting food and
forming egg shells.
Scatter dry grain among the litter on
the floor of the poultry houses so that
the hens will be forced to exercise.
1t is unwise to spend money for bet
ter chickens and then give them such
poor care that they cannot do well.
If a male is not popular with the
females in his pen he should be re
moved and another bird substituted.
Once or twice year wagon load
of small gravel should be hauled from
some stream for the fowls to work
over.
When given with care, one of the
best foods for young and growing
chickens, and the laying hens, too, is
sweet milk.
When laying freely, flock of sc
hens will drink from four to eight
quarts of water daily, depending upon
the conditions.
Colds with poultry often lead to roup
and when once the roup gets good
start you are likely to have quite a
task to get rid of it.
More turkeys would mean more
spending money for many farmer s

WATCHDoGs FOR POULTRY.

ek.NS farm watchdog we like a
~ good Airedale terrier best, y
says DR.. Prince T. Woods of the
"American Poultry Journal. " "ln our
experience Airedales are apt to prove
'one-man dog and know only one
master In watchdog that is mighty
fine trait. They have wonderful endur-
ance and courage, are fine killers of
rats, skunks and other troublesome
pests, and they can be taught to let the
poultry alone. The Airedale can be
taught the bounds of your farm and to
stay within bounds, and he is not likely
to permit strangers to handle or move
anything on the place. We have found
them gentle with children, very intelli
gent and obedient, but supplied with
abundant watchdog qualities, and apt
to be bit savage with trespassers,
though seldom noticing any one outside
of farm bounds.
"The collie can be trained to round
up the birds and make themselves gen
orally useful, but our chief objection
to them is their very affectionate dis

wife. The turkey crop is getting small
er every year.
The maintenance of productiveness
and vigor are the essentials in poultry
keeping, and when both can be realized
the work will pay.
Although there may not be any vis-
ible lice or mites in your poultry house,
it is a good thing to whitewash it two
or three times a year.
The young chicks should have fresh
milk only, as sour milk is suitable only
for the adults, being injurious to all
kinds Of young animals.
To protect roosting poultry from at
tack by vermin there has been invented
trap which, when fastened to a pearch,
catches and poisons insects.
