Show COMFORTABLE FOWL IS BEST Poultry to Do Well Should Not Be Exposed Ex-posed to- Severe Weather In Fall and Winter. That farm flocks are often too much exposed to the weather, and, that the farmer would realize more from hi poultry If he did not allow them outdoors out-doors during the fall and winter, are, without doubt, established facts, says A. C. Smith of the Minnesota experiment experi-ment station. The idea often advanced that poultry can withstand any amount or degree of cold weather provided It is dry, Is not borne out by experience. Poultry should not be exposed to el-their el-their wind or rain In the autumn. House the birds comfortably If you Wish eggs. Keep them In the house after the ground freezes. Let them out only during the middle of the day as a rule In the fall after the frost comes. . If you cannot take the trouble to get them in early in the afternoon, keep them in. |
