POULTRY POINTERS.

Exercise is invaluable in winter, and tc
make the hens take it, just scatter all the
grain food in a clean, light litter. This
| compels them to scratch for it. Exercise
is one of the requisites to fowls happiness.
Keep out dampness from the coops dur
ing the cold days of winter, as we'll as
the damp ones of spring. Dampness is a
forerunner of disease, and unless you
keep it ont, the birds will become sick
and die and you will be the loser. Even
if death does not ensue, the fowls will be
retarded in theii laying, and again, you
are the loser.
Buy the hens a set of false teeth in
order that their food may be properly
masticated. Good, sharp grit is the best
substitute for molars that I know Of, and
it should be kept before them constantly.
Roup season is again with us and this
is the most dreaded of all chicken dis
eases. Colds develop into roup if left un-
Watch the birds daily for the
symptom of colds and treat for
its cure at once. 1t may save you much
in the end.
Next week we will prove that there is
money in poultry keeping, even during
these war times.
