All fowls require some place for comfort and health. 'When left to themselves to roam all over a farm, they become unprofitable to their owner, a burden to themselves and a nuisance to the neighborhood, if in close proximity. a certain degree of. connnement is nec essary for fowls. Too close confine ment, however, will prevent them from laying . and eventually destroy their henlth., A good sized yard or run, along with a place for shelter and roosW -ing is what 13 required. The house should be built on a high and rolling place, so that it can be well drained. The oil notion of using round polos for perches is, or ought to be discarded. S'at3 four or five inches in width are much more comfortable, give better rest and are more easily cleansed by white-. wash, or washing in water mixed tfith carbolic acid. Lima and carbolic acid are, in my opinion, preferable to kero sene, and fully jis cheap. If poultry are not protected from the cold of win ter, they become torpid; it exposed to grit heat in summer, they become en feebled. To avoid the numerous dis- e ases which are brought on by damp ness, care must bo had that die house be in a dry location, and properly de fended from rain and storm i. Good ventilation is indispensable to guard against an infected atmosphere, and suitable facilities must be afforded for their necessary exercise which all kinds of poultry daily demand. There should be provided for them a place for dry sand, ashes, loose dirt, or road dust, that they may enjoy the pleasure of rolling min, and also for their amusement. The house should bo thoroughly white- : washed al! over, perches about three A paper read before the Farmers Institute at Roseburg, May 10, 1SS9, by F. Berchtold. -', An inexperienced hand in raising dif ferent kinds of poultry will, m the beginning, make ' . many mistakes, lose a great number of his geese, ducks and particularly turkeys. It is to be supposed that this falls to the lot cf all (I know it was mire) but it is our prerogative to be benefitted by misfor tune and to learn by it. Poultry laising as it is, or ought to lie, prosecute it e-day j 13 a science, which must be learned like any other science, "No master falls from heaven" is about as trno here as in any other c tse. Nothing hho-t of constant practice, close sttention, find willingness to work cast make a man a successful poultry raiser. Cut i: the diihculties are once oiice surmounted, nature's course thoroughly a.'uJied andi le work pursued with untiring energy e are then apt to meet with but few osses, and theso are mostly such over which we can. have no control. A variety of food is a necessity fcr owls to keep them healthy and In good condition. Corn is not the best of diet for any fowl it contains substances which are too' fattening; a uk1 f it, :iowever,is occasionally very acceptable. Wheat, oats, buckwheat, scraps f me-4, burnt bones, we'l pounded and mixed with hot mush seems to be agreeable to them and gives a good appetite. Bar- ey, also, is a good diet, and, in winter, vegetables of any kind are useful, or, when in garden time, the birds are shut up, a few vegetablesand a plenty- nl supply of fresh water are ahegethpr indispensible to their health ad com fort. Not less essential is it to furnish owls with small srravel or Dounded lass. Small pieces of gravel, glass, broken crockery aie greedily picked up y these birds and act in the gizzard as grinders to further the digestion.

Rread crumbs, ioih-d potatoes, or corn meal, well swelled are a safe food and a dust bath of either dry ashes, sand or road dust (which latter is by far the bsst) will kep them healthy. It has been ascertained that a little sulphur, or black pepper and finely pounded crockery mixed with their food twice a week will prevent trouble from gapes or (pip) which proves fatal to so many chicks. A good sized hen can mother fifteen . or eighteen chicks just as well as half a dozen, so if two hens hitch together only a moderate number, it is a good plan to put the chicks at night under one hen, and a new lot of egs under the other, and let her enjoy a rime of rest for another three weeks . Ducks are greedy birds and will eas ily overeat if they get enough at a time. They need plenty of water to drink, and to swim in. . As a rule tiy are too dirty in their habits to make it agreeable to have them in the yard near the house, but if there is a pond or a stream of running water near by the house, they are a profitable fowl to raise, since aftr about four or five weeks they are quite hardy Wai take care of themselves.

The yolk taste3 insipid, oily; it consists of water, oil, albumen and gelatine. The poultry must have something to form the shelL Oyster shells are pre eminently' the best; nothing furnishes so easily and surely the needed mate rial for egg shell. Ovster shells are easily obtainable in cities at restaurants where they are glad to give them away. Roasted bones, brown and brittle, are" almost the genuine egg shell. Scraps of old plaster are good, too, Albumen, the white of an egg, is found almost in its pure slate, in tresh, sweet milk and ia wheat, oats, rye, buckwheat, barley and corn. The latter furnishes od and gelatine. Of course, fowl?, when at largp, can procure plenty of seeds, weeds, bug, worm?, etc., that furnish a large portion of the items named. Bone and shells, however, are rarer, and albumen, particularly, is hard to find. Thu makes plain what we must feed in order to obtain the coveted eggs. In winter we must supply animal food in abundance and the material they re quire for the formation of the shell. Keep the fowls during winter and spring, on drip ground and not exposed to the wind too much. Have . every thing well drained, so they will not be drinking out of every little filthy pud die of water. In summer you must provide an abundance of shade and plenty of cool, fresh water, changing it at least thiee times a day. Keep a sharp eye on them now, for this is the time for cholera and roup. Do not let them tat any sloppy f iorl, or overfeed them on one particular variety of food. PJow the- yard occasionally, to keep the surfave clean, and you will be rewaided for your trouble witi, an abundant num ber of nice, clean, ft esh, wholesome eggs. Poultry, like almo:-t kU other ani mals, are liable to numerous diseases, some of them maliiriiant. nnd a frWI o .. !""""" many fatal. In Oiegon, as a rule, the number of important diseases srtems to be comparatively small and the disor ders usually ield to judicious .treat ment. That so liitle attention is paid to this matter, no doubt, arises from the fact that we value an individual foul veiy little and think it comi ara tively insignificant., and while the dis eases of other domestic animals receive prompt attention and efficient c ire, the neglected inhabitants of the poultry Continued to Jth page.
