For one tiling, tin- ordinary poultry

and- the raising of young chickens n-
quires as much land as the keel ing ol
iiuiture hens. After she is two y-ear>
.old. tlie best laying days of the aver
age lien arc over and it usually pay
to get rid of her. Tills means tlui
half the flock must lie reueweil eacl
year. Since as many cockerels as
pullets will he hatched and a oertnli
percentage are eerfaiii to die, it
customary t<> lmteh each year a few
more chickens than tie-re* a re hens h
the flock. With a flock of twenty
five, for example, about thirty chick
ens should be raised. The same si«m
must lie allowed for these as for the
laying hens. The cockerels are eon
suiiicd through the season, being used
either as broilers when they are about
three months old, as friers, or as
roasters.
It is also most desirafde as a pre-
caution against disease- to divide tin
available ana into two plats. On one
of these the chickens are allowed to
range white a green crop—wheat ot
oats, for example—Is being grown
for them 011 tlie Other. The prelim!
nary turning under of the soil, the
greewrep, and freedom from cliiek
ens for a period serve to prevent the
land from becoming contaminated.
Additional range, with the advant
age of a large supply of insect feed
for tlie birds, may sometimes lie ob-
tained where a vegetable garden
maintained. At different lime* In tin
growing season there are areas in th
garden which are either idle or occu-
pied only by crops that the lien's will

fence, benefit without Injury to the

Nemr Housing Required.
An important item to tie considered
by those thinking of maintaining
home flock is the cost of the house.
For some part of the year at least
in almost every section of the Cniteq
States.- chickens require tlie shelter oi

house, approximately 4 or R feet of
floor Space should In- allowed for each
