More Eggs in Winter


This is the very time when eggs are worth
tho most, when hens want to lay as much
or more than they do at any other tim,'
and when they are not allowed to do so by
most poultry keepers. Folks think there
is great mystery about making hens lay
in winter. There is none; anybody can do
it; that is the hens will lay If you let them.
They bear good deal OF cold in the sun.
shine, and even freeze their combs and
toes. and yet will not stop laying altogether
If they can sleep warm. Now do not begin
to plan setting up stove in the hen house,
or introducing steam pipes. Artificial heat
is not poisonous perhaps. but very nearly 60
to chickens. They are warm themselves,
and need only 10 be crowded on their
roosts, with the roosts all on one leyel The
ceiling of the roosting room should be only
a few feet above the fowls heads, and pro
vided with ventilation from the floor il
possible. Give them very close quarters
no drafts of cold air, and clean out under
the roosts every morning, not excepting
Sundays. The combs will then reddcn up,
and eggs will be plenty on less feed than
usual. It must not be corn, however, or
only a small percentage of il, for this will
make them too fat to ley well If they sleep
warm. Col. WELD in Am. AgriculturiSt.

Seeds for Next Season.

Good seeed, that you have grown your
self, and has pedigree, the longer the
better, or has beon bought OF commercial
scotsman, with the good sense 10 test his
seeds before he sells them, is essential to
maximum crops. II your soil is all right
and the fertilizers abundant, you do not get
the full reward for labor without the best
reed. The vitality OF seed, its power to
reproduce its own kind, or something a
little betterdepends upon the circumstances
under which il is grown. Heredity has as
much to do with seeds as with animals. If
the farmer understands this, and will
watch over the growth and purity OF the
seeds for his crops, well and good. But
very many of our farmers cannot, or will
not do this. Charlock is among their oats
thistleS among their wheat, daisies, and
white weed among their grass seed. Their
corn is choked with weeds, and runs 10
nubbins, or IS imperieclly ripened, and
their Vegetable garden seeds are so mixed
that the varieties tail TO come true to name
or are nameless. They haye no pride in
garden products, and do not exhibit at the
fairs. Now is the time to remedy thes,
slovenly habits, and 10 turn over a new
leaf with the new year.-WM Cliff in an.

January Farm Work

All farmers should keep a record of their
work an "take an account of stock" al
least once year. The first of January is
an appropriate time to "open new books"
to be followed by daily or weekly record
Of important transactions. See that the
farm buildings are well insured in 'relia-
bic company at fare rates. Many fires
result from carelessness with ashes. Build
brick or stone receptacle at safe distance
from all buildings and keep the ashes IN it.
They are well worth carefully preserving
as fertilizng material, to be scattered oyer
the pasture or meadow. Prepare the annual
supply of irewood aud let it become
thoroughly seasoned before being used.
Green wood is not economical in any sense,
and is fruitful source of bad breakfasts
and worse tempers. Do not neglect to fill
the ice house at the earliest opportunity.

loss OF the ice crop. Let tie head help the
