Spraying Poultry Quarters.

The sprayer permits of giving the poultry house a thorough scrubbing occasionally. It is done on a warm, clear day, thoroughly spraying the walls nnd floor with water, using nn old broom on the floor to loosen the dirt, nnd finally drenching with the sprayer, first removing the nests. After this is done leave the door nnd windows open and let the work be performed early in the morning, but not in winter, when the temperature of the atmosphere is below 40 degrees. In summer it should be done ■ s often as once n week.
