Poultry Raising Under Such Condi-

More Attention Than Where Greater
Space Is Available.

Space Is Available.
ton is given TO supplying green feed
regularly and abundantly. Heavy egg
production is not desired. The object
Is to have the birds in perfect physi-
cal condition and at the height Of VIZ
tally, that they may more surely
transmit these qualities to their off,
spring.
The greatest difficulty in backyard
breeding IS rearing the young birds to
secure their best development. AS
growing birds are more susceptible to
adverse conditions than mature birds,
and birds in close confinement are less
rugged than those at liberty, the back
yard breeder must give the most scru-
pulous attention to every detail Of the
care Of his young chickens. Short
comings which might have no bad con-
sequences with the adult birds, or
with young chickens under more favor
able conditions, may have very serious
Ill effects upon his young stock. How
ever, by looking properly after all
their wants and taking care not to
overcrowd them In any way, fine speci-
mems may be grown in yards where
the space allowance is not more than
20 to 80 square feet per bird.
