On a large poultry" farm near Hartford, Conn., visited by the writer, the former method is used. On that farm the grain food is wheat screenings only. This js kept in boxes where the hens pan help thmselves and the boxes are large enough to hold a weeks supply. Another hopper contains beef scrap, which is never allowed to get empty. No ground grain is used.

It is onlywhen confined in small yards arid houses that enforced exercise is necessary if it is necessary at all. It should not be understood from what I have said that exercise has little or no merit. On the contrary, it is the life of the hen. Jt is a question merely to what extent it is necessary to force her. If a hen has a' yard to run in, no matter how small, she will take her daily exercise, and if confined in a house without any floor she will exercise her muscles by scratching in the loose earth even though there is no other incentive to scratch than the" mere pleasureof scratching. To show the effect of absolutely no exercise, three pullets, one a Leghorn, one o Pyandotte and one a Plymouth Rock, were confined for a year in a small pen about 2 ft. x 7 ft, with a board floor which was-kefrom from litter, and there was no opportunity for the hens to scratch.
