ventilation is indispensable to guard
against an infected atmosphere, and

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

diihculties are once oiice surmounted,

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,

as grinders to further the digestion.

post-mortem examination wc o hold
over the bodies of hf-ns which Iie on
their nests, it would be found that
food swelled and hardened in their
crops was the direct cnus of ih.:r ex
it from dutr. 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

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.
