Ftenty 0/ nws pten/y c/ good, rich food, plerxfy of hik^- 

 warm vxUer to drink, plenty qf gcrapt /or ihe pouitry, and 

 pka^ of effffM ail winter. 



Kggs cannot be produced without lime for the sheila, 

 Blch food will furnish the moat, Ume the ehelL Give 

 jronr hens broken "ojTner ahella and lime for egg shells. 



YoiJNG CHicKs.-Early hatched chicks must not be 

 Hoffered to become chilled this month, or bowel disease 

 wffl be the result Cold on the bowels is often misjaken 

 9k diarrhoea. Plenty of warmth, and a Uttle castor oU 

 '^n the soft food is the best rem- 

 •dy should any dlfflcuUy of the 

 kind arise. 



Vkemin in 'WrNTKB.-As food 

 to nsnally scarce now. and dep- 

 redators hungry, too much pre- 

 CMition cannot be exerciseil in 

 Koardln^ against hawks, rats, 

 minks, and the Camlly catn, the 

 latter often doing much damage 

 before incurring suspicion. Lice 

 most be guarded against In win- 

 ter, also, as well as in summer. . 



Fancy E00S.-IU procuring such, 

 •nre your sitting hen mpan> busi 

 Place a few common ef;ga under her, and order imme- 

 dDately. When the chicks are hatched they should be 

 ^ren to the care of some particular person, in order 

 Dot to lose any uf them, as the cost of the chicks, esti- 

 mating the valoe of the eggs and exprt-Hsage, will be 

 too large to mo any risks. Get tbem hatched early, but 

 make full preparations before the eggs arrive trotn the 

 breeder's yards. 



ThsBooh REQUiitKU.— E^ach hen should have at least 

 three square feet of room In which to rooet and exercise. 

 On this b:istn it in easy to estimate (he space necessary 

 for a flock of any size. Thus, forfiftc'^^n fowte, forty-flve 

 feet should be allowed, which is a bouse 6 feet deep and 

 T>i feet flront, Por ten fowls we reqnire thirty feel, or 

 a twose & feet deep and 6 feet front. P.y this mle anyone 

 ts enabled to calculate the *lze ol hou.se r»'<|iiired for any 

 Bomber ol fowli. 



Orken Food.— This will be scarce now. It does not 

 Imply that because fowls ne^^ green food that ibey must 

 have gra^s or growing vfi^etablen. What is really 

 r«qiUred Is a change of some kind from the tisual dry 

 matter upon which tliey are fed. Boiled potatoes, tur- 

 nips, carron. and parnnips, mashed, and mixed with the 

 loft Jbod are exceJleuL Chopped rrtiVi>at:M. If not fed in a 

 firoeen condition, aoawePH well. The bt•^^ green food la 

 onions, finely chopped, and mlKt-d «iui the soft food. 

 Fowls will also pick dry clover If given to them, or It 

 may be cut and sleeptHl. 



Hatch thk £.\ki,y IVi^utth Now.— The early puU- 

 •Cb, If the next winter's flock are to lay early, must be 

 hatched between this time and tne middle of &farcb, but 

 the earlier the bett«r. We allnde, however, to puUels 

 tit the large breeds, such as Brahmas, Cochins, and 

 Flymontb Bocks. The reaion of tbLs is that pnlleta 

 require afx before tiiey will begin to lay. and l.ie ovarlea 

 are not Rufflclently developed in the large breeds o' 

 pallets at the end of the year, unlens the ppllets are 

 hatched eai ly. This Ls Ihe reason why we often wltneee 

 the rapU growth of puJlets without any results in eggs. 

 Tb«r must fuUy ftvUure. Besldet*. we will state that 

 «ggB fh>m early-hatched pullets are the best for placing 

 DwSer the Hitting heiL% or In incubators.
