APE YOUR HENs LAYInc7

! II is fact but little known 10 people
who keep poultry, that the first part of
a hen that becomes disarranged on the
approach of disease is the oyaries or egg
producing organs. Excess of fat. expo
sure to wet and cold. poor condition,
shedding feathers, improper food, want
of exercise, or lack of certain elements
in the food TO develop the embryo egg,
will all produce the same effect and cause
the hens to stop laying. 1t cannot be
laid down as an "iron clad rule, that
when hen ceases laying it is positive
symptom that she will be sick, but it can
be stated with the utmost assurance that
something is wrong or she would not
cease laying for weeks and often months.
The annual egg product per hen in this
country ranges from three to eight dozen
each. Now this is by far too small. There
is TO earthly reason why every hen that
lays at all, should not be made to lay
from 10 10 Is dozen eggs each year and
continue to do so for several years. We
know of parties who get eggs at that rate
in mid Writer in our cold climate.
How to get eggs in cold weather in
terestS every person who keeps hens.

Sheridan's Powder to my seventeen hens.
In December they laid pa eggs; in Jan.

many hens as have, and who did not
use Sheridan's Powder, did not get one
quarter as many eggs"

HORSES GET TOO MUCH HAY.

When boy on farm, says write
in Colmdn's Rural World, / remember it
was standing rule to rake down little
hay into the horses rack every time any
one went into the stable. The result was
the horses would keep their grinders
going nearly all the time, and become
pot-bellicd, unsightly animals. Horses
fed in this way become mere machines,
"r hay cutters. the nutrition of the hay
is not assimilatcd, and large portion of
it is wasted. BY such stuffing, every
organ in the body is interferrcd with, and
when put on the road or to work on the
farm horse SO fed cannot move with any
comfort until relieved Of the superabund-
ancc of feed. The disease known rs
heaves is generally due to over driving
when the stomach is full Of hay. Bulk
in feeding is necessary, but when the food
is nearly all bulk an extreme has been
reached, and it is time TO change. Hay
should he fed with rs much care as grain
is fed. Different horses require differ
ent qualities, and in feeding Il now horse
1t becomes matter of experiment until
his wants are asccrtaincd.
