ON A TOWN LOT 69 



This preparation may also be applied to the shanks after 

 bathing. 



I will probably continue to exhibit my birds during 

 January. The sales have kept up and the surplus stock is 

 nearly sold off. However, orders are still coming in, but the 

 stock is reduced to about what will be wanted for the breed- 

 ing pens. 



SPRING 



In previous chapters I have pretty well outlined the 

 spring's work, geting the incubator started and "training up 

 the baby chicks in the way they should go." With the ap- 

 proach of summer it is very important to see that, even 

 though your venture is carried forward on a small lot, the 

 birds have plenty of fresh air and ventilation. Don't be 

 afraid about exposing them to summer drafts. By all means 

 protect them from the damp days of spring and summer and 

 every chill. But don't be overzealous and shut out fresh air 

 and abundant sunlight. Give them all the free range your 

 conditions will permit.
