Fowls VIII Respond to
Proper Care in Summe

1T may be stated without fear o
contradiction. says A. C. Smith, chic
Of the division of poultry husbandr,
at University Farm, that under aver.
age conditions farm fiocks yield no
more than 25 per cent during the sum
mer months. while. II well managed.
the yield Will practically be doubled
at small additional expense"
The reasons given by Professor
Smith for the failure OF farm f1ocks to
maintain April production are than at
the season advances the supply Of In
sects and young tender greens be-
comes insufficient to supply more than
the needs Of the body; that external
parasites become abundant during the
not weather; that coops are poorly
ventilated, and that broody hens are
mismanaged
To maintain production, he says.
hocks must be plentifully fed with a
balanced ration OF grains and animal
food and with an unlimited supply of
greens, grit and oyster shells. War |
must be necessarily waged against |
mites and lice. Houses must be kept |
cool and comfortable by regulating the
ventilation to suit the day and the
weather. Broody hens must be brok-
IN up at once by removing them from
he nest and putting them where there
Ire no nests and no places to set.
WITH good treatment and ample feed
ng the hens Will soon return to work.
III sick hens must be removed while
hose that are healthy and in good
esh but do not lay should be culled
ut at least once a month and sent to
larket.
Some Of the university fiocks are
ow giving so and 60 per cent produc-
on as result of proper care and
anagement, according to Professor
NTH.
