CHARCOAL FOR FARM FLOCK
Keeps Digestive Apparatus Of Fowls
In Good condition-Good Ventila-
tion Is Necessary.

A dish OF charcoal placed where the
flock can reach 1t at all times will do
considerable toward keeping the di-
gestiye organs Of the fowls in good
condition. The charcoal absorbs poi.
sonous gases and juices and often
prevents serious trouble.
Fowls cannot be healthy unless they
can have plenty of pure air to breathe.
This calls for a well.ventilated poul-
try house. There is no one best breed
or variety OF fowls for any purpose.
The usefulness OF any flock depends
almost as much on the way it is fed,
bred and cared for as upon the
variety.
