W’inter vegetables, as potatoes, cabbage or turnips, may be fed raw or cooked. T's: requisite supply of some kind of grinding material, oyster shells and sharp graVcl must not be forgotten. A barrel of lime is of much use when conveniently placed so that a small quantity may be scattered about the house and yard once a. week. Before the winter rains set in besure to collect an ample supply of dry dust or sand. Even if the poultry house has a. good floor, it will be more easily cleaned if liberally sprinkled over after each sweeping and scraping, and where fowls are kept in con- finement something of this sort is necessary as a deoderizer and to give them something to scratch among for exercise. affair, except blocks whjph are nailed to Duxing the'summer and fall the thought.- ful poultry keeper will provide winter food for his flock. If this is grown on the farm it must be stored in some convenient and safe receptacle, secure alike from the depre- dations of rats and from the inroads of‘ the fowls themselves. In pleasant weather a few steps more or less count as nothing, but when the ground is instep deep in mud or half-frozen slush, with perhaps a. drenching rain pouring, how thankful we are if every- thing is under one shelter. If the food is to be bought there is the more need of its being secured early, as there is then greater variety to choose from and it may be had at lower prices. Prices usually advance with the season, and all such things come cheaper when bought by the quantity. Sweet clu- ver hay probably aiZm-ds the greatest amount of nutriment for the price, and on account of its bulkincss it is especially valuable ix: winter when the diet of fowls is apt to be too concentrated. If cured in the shade clover better retains its fresh green color and its strength, and when cut into half- inch lengths, scalded, steamed and sprinkled over with wheat bran it forms one of the most wholesome and valuable of foods. Next, provide some grain rich in albumin- oids, as Wheat, oats or buckwheat, some of each being preferable to any one alone. Last, but not least, a generous quantity of Indian corn, which, though much has been said and written against it, has, neverthe- fill. f If vhens are to be the incubators for the coming season, the facilities for attending to them, while sitting and hatchir-g, will be greatly increased, if they have an apart- ment separate from the laying hens, and if no chickens are aIIOWed to roost in either of the apartments devoted to the sitting and the laying hens much greater cleanli- ness may be maintained and consequently the danger from vermin Will be lessened. 1f brooding hens could have a small run to themselves Where they would not be mo~ lested by other fowls, and in which food and drink could be placed so that they might come off and feed at will, a much better hatch would be secured, with less time and worry from the attendant. The natural instinct of the fowls in such matters is a much better guide than ‘ our human intelligence. Besides, if a sit- ting hen has access to the general run, the other hens will have access to her nest. In the fall the fencing usually needs some re- pairs, either for security Or to make the inâ€" closures smaller; for as a. rule it is better to restrict the flock to smaller range in very cold or stormy weather when a long range sometimes results in frosted combs and toes. 0n bitter cold days it is best to keep the whole flock in doors, and the house should be large enough to accommodate them. Another thing that practical poultry keepers have seen the folly of is having the perches far from the ground. F ew old hen~ houses have them less than seven or eight feet high, and many even more, and the poultry compelled to alight on a hard wooden floor, or in winter on the frozen ground outside. To the heavy breeds this is frequently a sourse of serious injury, causing in the roosters what is called “ bumble-foot,” a swelling and enlargement of the exposed tender portions of the feet, and to the hens resulting often in internal wounds. W'here lighter breeds are kept these high perches teach them to fly for which we afterward blame the enterprising young pullets and cockerels when a five-foot paling fails to restrain them. do .1 , consequently much 1; 21 ing is a. disadvantage ‘ a: icrthan an ad vantage. And in sunnv weat‘nt r and warm climates the chickens setk a. cool, shaded spot rather than a. brightly- -lighted, heated house, more CSpeciilly for5 their nesting places. Still, one or two glass windows are advisable during winter even in asevere climate - that is if tight fitting, solid , wooden shutters are prox ided and they are carefully closed at night.
