< LUCERNE .CULTURE. 



The house must be kept perfectly clean to guard against 

 .disease. The best way to do this is to thoroughly clean it every 

 morning, and to syringe the inside with strong dip and water. 



The poultry should be moved at least once a week. A little 

 .trouble will be experienced at first in getting the birds into the 

 .house, but when once taught no trouble will be ^experienced with 

 ,the rew arrivals. 



Ducks and geese eat more that they are worth. 



Breeding thoroughbred fowls on lucerne is expensive. For 

 ;this it would be necessary to keep a piece of lucerne (say ten 

 morgen) for this purpose alone. 



This would have to be divided into wire-netting camps for the 

 separate lots and breeds, and in some cases netted overhead, each 

 camp to be not less than a quarter of .an acre,i or 30 yards by 

 40 yards. 



Light moveable houses should be made, and only half the 

 camps used at one time. The land should be laid out and used in 

 ;such a way that camps not in use can be watered in one piece, so 

 as net to risk i'ccding camps in use.
