Fresh Air For Poultry

While chicken thieves and other
varmints of prey threaten the chick
en- roost these days when young fryers
are tempting, yet one should guard
carefully his fresh air supply A
closed chicken house these nights re-
suits in an almost impossible atmos-
phere-tan atmosphere so filled with
reeking odors that even the flesh Of
the chicken is tainted. Fresh air is
vital to good growth, and better to
run the risk of losing a few than to
endanger the health Of all, So open
the windows and doors.
