WATERING FOWLS.

WATER APPARATUS. 



The above cut shows a very simple and good plan for water- 

 ing fowls. 



When water is placed in an open vessel, the daily supply, it 

 is liable to become impure, from many fowls having access to 

 it, but on the above plan, the impurities are constantly running 

 away in the overflow of the bowl. A jug is used on this plan, 

 that holds from one to two gallons, with an aperture in the 

 cork, to allow a slow passage of the water, till the jug is emp- 

 tied. A keg holding about a pail of water, with a faucet, 

 would be better than the jug, I think to be open at the top, 

 and provided with a cover. A running stream of water, how- 

 ever, is preferable to all other ways of watering fowls.
