There are but few farms where tOO
hens will not support themselves nine
months in the year upon that which
would otherwise be wasted. To
cheap houses, boxed, battened an J
lined with tar paper, with a shed ut
taeheil to each where the fowls can
scratch and exercise tin stormy or
snowy days, will keep thetn comforta
ble and inclined lo lav all winter. The
sheds may be pole frames covered ntld
sided with straw or shock fodder. The
houses, if open, may lie made com
fortable by setting fodder around
them, to bo removed 111 summer, if
troubled with mites A good liou-;o
is cheapest to begin with if one can
all'ord il.but a clean straw-covered -uo
will answer if watiiiand clean. Tho
fowls should not be b t out on i-tormy
days nor while tho snow is on tho
ground, yet they ii 'ed exorcise to keep
thetn laying mid healthy. S tha
shed, protected from the Cold winds
and open only on the south, given
them a place, and small grain i;i the
sheaf or scattered in straw gives them
an incentive to work. A piece of
meat hung just high enough to give
thetn a little trouble in reaching it
interests them amazingly, while a few
bits thrown into the she 1 causes a
race that is healthful. Water with
the chill off should be provided
several times a day in cold weather.
Keep the snow cleared away from the
do r.s an I throw your coal ashes)
around it and under the sheds. The
hens like to pick among them, and
they form a hard, dry surlae.) not
easily made muddy, (tiit is indis
pensable. Coarse sand and broken,
thsi.o.x pounded lino will moot this
need. Many cases of so-cilled cholera
result from indigestion, caused by a
