On large farms it is sometimes necessary to put coops only 25 yards apart, but this should be avoided if possible. Always hold chicks loosely; squeezing is likely to injure them seriously. Bear in mind in taking off the hatch that the sooner mother and chicks are reunited the better. AS TO "RIDES."—In large operations the rearing coops are jjlaced in rows, and swaths or "rides," as the British game keepers call them, are cut through the grass directly in front of them, forming a succession of streets, as it were.

It makes the birds somewhat easier prey for vermin in the opinion of some but, on the other hand, it is claimed by its advocates that it less- ens the wetting the chicks get from early morning dew and kee))s the hen ?rom trampling her chicks. It certainly does make feeding drier work for the man in charge of the field. Where breeding is done on a large scale, it is customary to allot from
