TO MAKE POULTRY PAY,

If yo,u b,a\?e a, small garden, i try k-eeping a few hens, For • quietness sake avoid a oook ; the hens will do as well without him. ! The best, kind is misniarked birds from good breeders who know how to feed, Save every scrap of house leavings, but see that no fish bonss, tea leaves or salt stuff gets into the pail. Give this, mixed with meal, for one feed, and grain for another-; ?,>*d don't forget some gre,s\ lettuce or cahjis^-e lea,ves. If you,b,u3£ <eY : er.y; summer three, to i sjx aarlyrhatG^ed pu^efes, to lay ! in" win,ter v a^Q kill off every | aut\i m.n qp w4i\ter those you have h^d for- two yoga's, which are consequently past their best; you will have a steady succession of birds in paying condition. Keep them clean and healty a.r\ci they will repay the little, trouble you take.
