Rearing of Poultry.
,As the time
. to lay the groundwork for raising
poultry is at hand, we will respectfully call attention
to the subject by briefly stating our plan for the
management of each variety usually raised on the
farm ; as we hold it to be intimately- colluded with
the success of each, we will state that poultry hoe.
sea should be thrice a year while-washed, at all
times kept clean, well ventilated, and have freshly
!decked lime occasionally spread over the floors ;
that there should be constantly kept convenient to
the hen house, accessible to the chickens, deposits
of old plaster or lime and heaps of ashes and sand.
The plaster and lime being essential to enable the
hens to form the shell of their eags, and the ashes
and sand netessary for them to dust in, as protection
against the chicken lice, which so annoy all fowls,
boStli old and young, and which so often kill the lat
ter.
Young Chickens.--- , As these are hatched they
should be taken from the hens & kept Ma basket lined
with wool or cotton, until the ben completes hatch
ing out her brood. While the mother is engaged
iu this work) the chicks should be fed with corn
meal dough, moistened with belled, milk, or the
crumbs of pone ofwheat bread similarly moisten-,
every few hoard through the day. At n'ght, until
the mother bas finished her labors, let the chickens
be restored to the nest, unless there be reason to ap
prebend that the nest is lousy ; in that case, it • wir.
be best to,Veep the chickens in the basket, protect
d from cold. Whert the chickens are all hatched'
the mother and her brood should be placed tinder
a coop which should be made as to protect her and
them alike from sun and rain, the slats to be so ar
ranged as to, admit of the passage of a free current
of air. The coop should be occasionally removed
as it is at all times, neccessary that the young should
be kept dry and clean. . Whibl the chickens are
young it would be better that their food should be
cooked, to prevent their being scoured ; and there
fore, for some weeks we would confute them- to the
crumb; of pone or wheat bread, moistened with
boiled milk. Tgey . should be fed thrice a day ;
water should be givetiethem in a very shallow ves
sel, which should have slats across it to prevent the
chickens from getting in -and wetting themselves;
they are extremely tender until they become fledg
ed, and should be kept dry. In . rainy weather it
would Abe best for the mother and her young to be
removed to the shelter of a room where the
• chickens could be protected from the weath
er, for we are • satisfied that more 'chickens arc
killed by wetting than from any other Cause.—
Chives should be cut fine and mixed with their food
thrice a week. Young chickens are subject to di
arrhea ; to correct this, a tea-spoonful of pulverized
• chalk or charcoal should be mixed with every cup
• full of meal or other food fed (to them. While she
is confined in the coop, she should be as far remo
ved as possible from the, dung heap. i A handful
of gravel should be placed within her teach ; she
should have food and water and food regular)) , gi
ven her thrice a day, apd care must be taken to
grease or oil the back of her head, down her neck
and, under each wing, to destroy any lice with
which she may have become infested while setting
A small piece of assafiedita, ificept in the vessel in
—.when the chickens are given their. water may
prove both preventive and a curative of the gaps, a
disease which we believe tobe the result of worms.,
In' chilly days we have foiind it serviceable to mix
no a little pulverized black pepper with the young
chicken's food. We have found boiled millet seed
an excellent food for the young while we have gi
ven it uncooked to the old with excellent effects.—
Hens, while laying, should have their food alterna
ted, sonntimer Indian meal dough, then corn or
buckwheat and again oats.
In raisi g young chickens, care `must be taken to
keep the dry. feed themregularly, and give there
fresh w r which should be renewed whenever it.
may be rendered dirty
• -
The nests of the laying as well as the setting
1( hens, should be preserved front lice. This may
be effected by making theta of clean straw, plac
ing a few tobacco stems at the bottom dusting a lit
tle ashes gircargh the nest, and greasing the under.
part of the wings of the hens where they join the
body and also the back of their heads and necks
It may he done also by using snuff and grease in
stead of grease alone—this last plan we do not ap
prove, though not effective, as it is apt to sicken the
hens for a time.
Garlic, Chives, and Shallots, chopped • tip very
fine and mixed in small quantities with the chick
• en's food-.occasionally, exert anexeellent influence
upon their health. Young Chickens, while feeding
should afways be protected From large fowls.
Diteks.;—The old ducks, if they-have not access
to creeks or rivers, where they willtnd food adapt
ed to thkir nature, should have anima! , food mixed
with their grain or meal, and if it be expected of
them to lay well, attention must be paid to their
being regularly fed night and morning. This at.
tention not ooly ensures plenty of eus. but attaches
them to their homes.
It it best to set the ducks eggs under kens, as
ducks are but indifferent amens and nurses. Thir
teen ducks egis are as many as a hen can conve
niently, cover. One drake to five ducks is about
the right ;runner for breeding purposes.
As the ducks are being hatched they should be
taken from the hen and placed in a basket, as re.
commended for young chickens. Boil a piece of
, fresh meat of some kind, chop it very fine and mix
it with corn meal enough, made with boiled milk,
as for the Chickens, and feed- the young ducks.—
When the hen has hatched all out, place her and
her num: brood under a coop, whereAhey must be
it-platy led three times a day as above directed.
They AonklliterlitlidphiheiitiOßl they been

you expect them to become large- fine fowls, 'you
mint feed them well, soromitting tis give them op
easional meals ;it which animal food is Mixed, and
that they shoilld be kept dry. Water, is the proper
element of Wild ducks; nature has provided them
en oleagenons substance that nearly renders them
imprevious to water—not an with the tame ordo
mestic duck when younr. Oa being expeaed to
wet, their feathers become milled ; perhaps this is
owing to their not being able in a farm yard to ob•
tain that kind of food which enables the old -duck
to secrete that peculiar oil which protects their
feathers from wet. Be the cause what it may, the
fact is obvious, that young tame ducks, in the early
stages of their e.astence, are injared . by becoming
weyand that disease and ileath s is .he consequence.
Therefore, they should be kept in their coops for
some weeks of a morning, until the dew is exhaled
by the sun—and hence their coops, while being
made water-tight, should be so arranged that they
can be kept in them whenever it may be necessa
ry to screen them from rains or dews. Fresh clean
ma' should always be before them to'drink, but
never to dabble in. As they attain age and become
feathered, they may have access to ponds or run
ning streams— not before. Their food then may be
advantageously made of boiled potatoes and corn
meal hornmony, - and corn. While growing they
should at all times be plentifully fed, as stinting
them in that state, invariably stunts their growth.
As tame ducks are promiscious layers and will .
drop their egos anywhere, they should bo kept in
the duck house of a morning - wail they shall hare
laid theireggs. •
Yo!ing furkryl.—Tliese are, delicate and crti.ly
bodies, and require the utmost attention to raise
,them. For many weeks after being hatched they
require to be kept dry and warm, to be fed with
stitnulating nutritious food. As soon as hatched
they rnu:4 be taken from tiny mother and given a
grain of black pepper then be pet into a basket !hied'
with wool or cotton, and lightly covered with the
• same material. If the weather be cold, the basket
I should be placed sufficiently near the fire to 'keep
„them measurably warm. In a few hours after be
, ing hatched and thus treated, they must be fed with
hard boiled eggs, chopped fine. This may be ad
rant4eonsly continued for a few dayS. After the
third day it might be well to mix with the eggs a
little erupts of pone bread or stale wheat bread,
:moistened to a proppet consistence with the curd of
sour milk, off of which the whey has been strained
and with which the tops of wild onions or chives,
ciopped fine, must be mixed, This kind of food,
with occasional messes of boiled wheat millet or rice,
should be continued for about eight weeks never
I omitting to season them with the tops of the wild on
ion or chives as above directed.
The hen turkey when first given her brood,
should be placed in a dry, warm apartment, be reg
ularly fed and watered thrice a day. The young
ones should be fed oftener, be given water regular
ry which be placed in shallow vessril, so that they
cannot wet themselves, as wet is fatal to them. In
a few days, say three or four, a pen should be pre
-pared out of doors for the old hen turkey, which
should be so made at top as to turn rain and afford
dude, as both sun and rain are injurious when the
•
chicks are quite young. 11 is best too, to have a
separate coop, in which to feed the young ones as,
otherwise, -the old hen would -be sure to appropriate
the largest share of the food to herself at the expense
of her brood.
As the young turkeys grow older. and stronger
and their digestive organs strengthened, say in
about eight weeks the old hem may be let out of
the coop and her young fed on cabbage leaves or
lettuce choptfine, mixed with small- hommony or
boiled potatoes; but given at this stage of their
growth,'the chopt onions and chives should not be
omitted as they still require the stimulating effects
of these herbs to give tone to their stpmache and
diffese a warmth through their systems.
Those who desire to have fun. well grown birds ;
must recollect that, to ensure this result, the turkey
must be well fed during its entire stage of growing
—they should also recollect, that the turkey, though
domesticated ; is of a wild, roving nature, and that,
unless attached to its home'by kindness and care,
will be apt to take to the woods to prevent which
`they should be fed in the poultry y and night and
morning, and thus made to love their homes. They
need not to be stuffed, but still they should be fed,
genererwly fed.
The snuffles and Gaps.—Young Turkeys, when
three or four weeks old, are sometimes liable
to be attacked by these diseases ; and we are told
that they may both be cured by mixing a tea
spoonful of flour sulphur in as much corn meal as
is nsnally fed to 20 young turkeys. This must be
given once a day until the disease, whether snuf
fles or gapes, disappears, which it will do in a few
days. It is reasonable to presume, if sulphur will
cure these diseases in the Turkey,. that it would
prove equally efficaLious if administered to Chickens
—and as the remedy is simple and inexpensive, it
is certainly worthy of trial.
The Scours. —lf the young turkeys should be at
tacked with this disease, mix a table spoonful of
pulverized charcoal or chalk with every pint of their
food.
Geese.—As the gnsllingc are hatched they muetbe
taken from the mother, and cared • for as reeona
mended for young ducks. When the goose has
hatched all the eggs, the young must be given her,
though it would be best to confine ler for two or
three days, when she and her young brood may be
turned ont into the kitchen yard or lane. The gos•
tinge should be—ed with crumbs of bread *baked in
boiled milk, or with corn dough, made up with
bonny clabber; frequently through the day for the
first week. When they gain strength enough to fol
low their mother, without danger of being seized
with the cramp. she may be permitted to range
somewhat at large in search of grass, that being
natural food of the goose. Chita chopped up fine
and mixed up with their food once a day, will be
found beneficial. When the goslings get 6 or 8
weeks old, they may be allowed messes of boiled
potatoes-and lodian meal dough, in which chives
have been chopt fine and nixed.
Goslings are liable to diarrhea; this may be
checked by nixing a tea spoonful of powdered
chalk or charcoal in a pint of their food. The same
precaution is necessary with regard to water, with
young geslings as with yOung ducks. Their drink
ing water should therefore be
. given them under
the same restrictions, and as much care taken to
preherve them dry as with the young of ducks.—
The goslings should have clean straw placed be
side their mother for theta to sleep otr.in the .goose
house at night. The house should at all times by
kept clean.
