They are n-.t oi -aly fiithy i t'i ir coopm, roosting under each other, taking no p.iiii to avoipingi. and dolii; no m.-t apparently to cleanli ness. There is more apparent in the house where tacv Hie confined, and where the air should be 89 pure a- possible. If they are at large and few in number,they move arouui se much that they can— n(t scour the ground. Tliev aie by nature clean, but by habit the reverse, and the only way to keep tteui in the natural state is to give them range enough, so that tLey cannot soil their haunts, or else cleanse their haunts earefu.ly ani faithfully every dai. We kept one solitary hen on our |.iace lor several mmthr. ~he was of the common bar-yard breed - We never saw a healthier fowl, or oue whose leath er? kept so fresh and |ier!° .• n I she was a con stant layer. No care wis taken o her. and we al ways attributed her thrill to the fjet that she had the whole range ol cur place for exercise and her quarters were always jierfeetly clean. As Soon as your flock liecomes Urge yon will find them crowding together, an 1 always soaring their haunts, if there are a sufficient number to do it. You may do something towards preventing this, but you cannot keep very largo flocks very cle in Wc have often seen if slated thai n-.t more than fifty hen* eh ml I lw kept in a hen house iweu'y feet by ten. Except with coiistan* ire tut cleaning that number i-auu .t Jo very well in a smaller space Clase up su.-h a house some cold nigh', when you have neglected cleaning it for a lew days, anl go iu from the fresh air in the morning, and you will lie surpri.-e! n! ihe impurity of the uir therein. Drive the flock out inm the epn air and you will see what a change ,t produ-es in (hem, and In* lively they will become in a few minutes. Th size of the flock must always Jcpcnl upon the extern of ihn ac-oinni-i Uti.iiis, au I even then the large flocks cannot be kept so cleanly and healthy as the small one.-, and therefore are not in propor tion so profitable. cr It is a good pt iu to give fans horses the range of weedy stubble and other fields l ite in the ses?.n. Toey eat a great many wi cds as other lorage tails. We keep our hor-e-s too warm, as a rule, for the sake of giving them smooth coats Make it a rule n'ver to give a horse fee I or water antil he has stoo l an h- ur .tier emuing in off Ihe road or from hir I work. Rub him down -as soon as he comes in, throw a varui blanket over him. and re nut eit wUi ho is fed or within an hour. Sever leave a warm horse to c.iol off in draughts of air or in the wind out of do.rs. A horse stable should lie light, airy, and rooiuy.
