Early Eggs and Chickens.
kansas Farmer. 7

The first object of every poultry keeper
who wishes to succeed in his business is TO
have his produce ready for market when the
commodity is scarce, since of course he eau
secure much higher price then than at any
other time. Wherever there is a large and
be found for really fresh eggs and plump,
well fed chickens at the best price.
very frequent complaint among poultry
keepers is that they can get any number of
eggs 81 the time when they are plentiful,
and, therefore cheap, but when eggs
sre scarce they get few or none.
What is wanted is 10 keep only those birds
known as prolific layers, such as LsghoInS,
Minorcas, Houdans, Black Hamburgs,
Langshans. or Plymouth Rocks The maj
ter OF housing and feeding should also have
the greatest attention. There are many
people who have the right kind of birds a I'D
who house and feed them well, and yet wa }
can not obtain eggs very early in the year
and, OF course, can not have early chickens
the entire cause being that that their birds
are too late. Birds above two years old do
not commence laying until the end Of Feb
rDary or the beginning Of March, no matter
how good layers they may be, and il only
these be used then neither early eggs nor
chickens may be expected
To obtain early eggs only young birds
that is, pullets of the first or second wear,

named above, if Matched to March and April,
will bagin to lay at latest in September,
October or November, and will continue to
do so through the winter. At 6rst the eggs
will be small, but will gradually improve in
this respect, and pulletsjof the previous year
will if well housed, begin to lay about De-
cember, and their eggs will be large and well
formed. Under careful management it is
not very difficult to obtain constant sup
ply OF eggs
1t is OF no use expecting that May or June
Matched birds will commence to lay much
before spring. They may do so il the az.
tumn and early winter are very favorable.
jar uary and February Matched birds are too
early to DO used as layers, and do not, as a
rule, answer for this purpose, as they begin
about August, fall into a moult little later
on, and are very uncertain in their produce
during the winter. For eggs, therefore,
birds Matched in March and April, and not
more than two years old, are preferable. In
q we'll arranged yard half the stock of layers
will be bred each year and half Will be killed
annually.

mothers in such case require rations spe-

milk, so as TO induce rapid growth in the
lamb. like daily ration of roots, with cora

also be excellent for promoting a flow of

The manure Of sheep is OF more value
IN proportion TO the food consumed
than that OF any other stock, which
fact led to the Spanish proverb that 1.-THE
loot OF the sheep is golden" Up to this time
mutton sheep have never commanded the
attention in this country which they have
in Great Britain or in Canada. Oar people
have not leaned as yet TO appreciate the
value OF mutton in COMPARISON with other
MEATS as an article Of food. But they are
learning DOW, and prime mutton is going to
be more In demand than ever before
Through the enterprise of importers and
breeders all the valuable breeds Of mutton
sheep are becoming well represented in this
country, and breeding animals, either for
raising pure bred or crossing with the native,
are becoming available for any who desire
them. Sheep breed so rapidly that starting
with pure-bred buck and native ewes il
takes bat a few years to produce three
