Hens in Yards 



There must always be somethiug 

 in favor of the chickens that have a 

 farm range. It is something that 

 can be had nowhere else and it is 

 liable to be abused. It is not 

 enough to know that chickens have 

 a farm range. There is a wider 

 range than this in the management 

 of poultry. Tlie ponhrynicn who 

 have the largest egg-producers are 

 those who keep their hens in yards. 

 The^e are the improved egg-ma- 

 chines. Fowls that are given a 

 free range do not produce as great 

 a number of eggs, for the reason 

 that they convert a part of their 

 capacity for forming eggs. The 

 egg habit is a very good habit for 

 hens to form and they are more 

 liable to fall into this habit when 

 they are confined than when they 

 have a large range 



Fattening Poultry 



In fattening fowls for tue table 

 the bulk of the feed should be corn 

 chops or corn meal, cooked or raw, 

 and the birds should be confined to 

 a very small run or a roomy coop 

 Um the> must have variety of food 

 or appetile will fail and digestion 

 al.-o. A little of table scraps and 

 something green sluuild be given 

 to maintain the appetite, and in 

 coops it may be necessary to supply 

 some grit for digestive purposes. 

 Without these little adjuncts fowls 

 will sometimes refuse to eat em.ugh 

 for the purpose of fat-producing.
