Frequency Of Feeding.

Some poultrymen feed their flocks
twice a day, while others feed them
three times a day. The best plan is
to feed fowls in confinement three
times a day and those having free
range in summer twice day. When
there is a very long interval between
feeds it is difficult to keep fowls busy
which are kept in confinement. Idle
fowls often contract bad habits, such
as feather pulling and egg eating, be-
sides going out of condition from
lack of exercise.
In case it is not convenient to feed
three times a day, the moistened
mash may be fed in the morning, and
at the same time the noon feed of
grain may be scattered in the litter,
which will keep the fowls busy a
great part of the day.
For those who cannot conveniently
feed their fowls early in the morn
ing a good plan is to scatter grain
plentifully in the litter after the
birds have gone to roost. This grain
will furnish feed for the early morn
ing.

There were also six Jews and six gen.
Giles. Among other characters the
poet vergil was introduced, singing
monkish rimes. They moved In pro-
cession through the body OF the church
chanting versicles and cOnversing on
the life Of Christ till they came into
fhe choir.
This service, as performed in the
cathedral at Rouen, commenced with
