THE POULTRY YARDS.
Pur fi'. the Kuik toi l K***‘p 4 t*e HirtJs
Jlt*alt-Iy— >iet h<ls of i >u.
• Many poultry men who ktap tkeiv
fowls confined to run ill yards clean the
poultry houses, 1 nt never seem to tiwnk
it necessary to purify tbo yards. if
sickness visits the c fowls, it is a mys
terious (lisp us itioa of Providonco, for
have they not kept the lions a clean?
They do not think of the yards, whoso
soil lias become impregnated with tho
droppings of the iowls, and upon which
a green thing is never permitted to
grow. Following arc mttho is of puri
fication ro -ommoutled by The American
Agriculturist:
1 Where it is possible to do so seel
tho yard down to grass or clover and
let it boil* a crop one ye ir or raise upon
it a crop of vegetables. Of course this
necessitate! two yards for the fowls, a
plan that cannot always be pursued.
Or one can, with a movable fence, cut
off the fowls from the larger part o tho
yard ant sow that to some quick grow
ing crop, like oats, ami when it has
grown five or six inches high let the
fowls in upon it. Or one can spade the
yard in sections, sowing oats at each
spading, and thus secure a little growth
from them anl a succession of growths
of green fool for the fowls. A growing
crop for one siaeon puts Jhs soil in ex
cellent void .“on for tho fowls, the crop'
removing j nst the elements that were
injurious to the fowls.
2. Spading up the.yards every few
weeks, either in sections or all at once,
turning up the soil to the action of the
sun and air Air is the best d’sinfeetant
we have, and plenty* of it will Imlp to
rob the'soil of the' element poisonous to
the fowls. Spading will do for a few
years, but alter awhile it will not bo
sufficient.
3. The removal and casting away of
several iru bvi of the soil and replacing
it with freon earth, it would pay a
gardener.io do' tills, as the sod remove!
is rich in fertilizing ma ter, but few
have be m fortuu ite enough to find the
gardener do this. But even if, one has
to go fo the expense of the removal it
p ;ys bet ter to-do it than to h ive a lot
of sick and, therefore, unprofitable
fowls.
4 Temporary r lie? can be had by
sowing t!ie /ants with 1.m.l plaster.
Tins w. tl hold the injttriogg em tuitions
and keep th air in a healthful condi
