The drinking pans or troughs should also receive frequent and thorough at- tention. It is not enough to rinse them daily. with cold water. They should be scoured and scalded. The generous use of soda in the scalding water will be very effeetive: The use of air slaked lime.on the floor of the house after cleaning will act as a germicide, give the place a clean, heaithtul odor .aud discourage ingeet pests. - Reliable lice paint on roosts and nesting boxes is also an effective health agent. The straw in the nests should be changed often and the fresh nests sprayed with a good disinfectant. - It goes withont saying the chickens should be watched and at the first sign of the presence of disease or in- sects should be given careful atten- * SAUM ited at Moore’s Sunday.
