POULTRY FIXTURES

plumage, or little chicks from drowning. They 
come in various designs, shapes and sizes; we illus- 
trate several patterns that have given us excellent 
service here on the Buff Rock Farm, but there are 
many other good ones.

chicks grow and require more and more water. 
The one-gallon size will need filling but once a day 
for fifteen or twenty fowls, and that or a larger 
size saves labor when used for adult fowls or large 
young stock.

of fountains which allow the use of a lamp 
under them during cold weather, and thus the 
water may be prevented from freezing and 
will be comfortable to the fowls all day long.
