Broiler prices are somewhat better than they were last month. The geese should be laying at their best now, and this is, also, the month in which turkeys begin to lay. Of all fowls ducks are the easiest to raise. The eggs are more fertile than those of any other fowl. In most latitudes this is the month to hatch out as many chicks as pos- sible. If started well in April, they should lay about the first of Novem- ber at least. If your poultry yard has not already some shrubs or trees, plant some for shelter for the fowls on hot days. It is well to have two yards, and sow one with grass while they are living in the other. In setting hens in April, it is still a good plan to give no more than eleven ‘eggs to a hen, for the nights are still chilly and the hen is apt to crowd out some eggs to the edge of the nest when she has too many to care for. Sooner or later the chicken thief igets his due, but that does not re- _compense_one for the loss of his g' C H.

Put the windows in the poultry house low down to the floor, so the hens will get the benefit of the light and sunshine when scratching for their feed. The trouble with win- dows set high up is that they#let the sunshine is on the perches when the hens are on the floor scratching, and when they are on the roost the sun doesn’t shine; so there is no equilib- rium in such plans.
