An article on Winter Laying" in Fridays
Journal attracted my attention. The writer
says the matter of winter laying depends up
on the management of the fowls. To great
extent is this statement true. | make poul-
try raising branch of my business, have
one of the largest houses in town for my
stock and have studied poultry culture from
experience and find that whatever breeds are
kept the principle point for success is the
care of the stock, i. e good and warm shell
ter cleanliness, feed and pure water. Above
all system in the daily routine 10 essential
For the benefit of those who are launch
ing out in the raising and care of poultry-I
will give say treatment of layers during the
severe winter months. See 10 it that the
quarters are thoroughly banked up all
cracks and holes are filled-that no draughts
may DE allowed. Strong draughts are detrl-
mental to the health of fowls and should
never be allowed. After this care, then
follows the bill of fare and cleanliness.
Warm mash is best for the morning feed as
the fowls have an empty crop after the long
night on the roost. and they should be
warmed up as soon as possible. feed for
soft food, boiled potatoes mashed and mixed
with bran or meal, this Is one Of the best
mixtures that can be given laying fowl. and
once o week little red pepper should be
mixed with this food this acts as stimulant
and give an appetite. next take the water
to the stock in a luke warm condition, this
also helps to keep up the warmth of the
body A little of dry leaves or straw should
be strewn about the floor of the hen house
for the fowls to scratch over, and sprinkled
into this should be the noon feed of grain.
Exercise is necessary to the welfare of the
flock. and this is obtained by making them
work for all their food except the morning
mash, Keep crushed oyster shell and gran
ulated bone always by them. Give variety
in food Green stuff, cabbages, turnips.
etc, must not be neglected. Cleanliness is
essential to the healthful condition of the
fowls, and has quite a bearing toward we'll
filled egg basket. Good care is repaid by
generous supply of fresh eggs.

The Packing OF Apples.

Although apples are not in very firm de-
mand just now, it will yet interest all apple
growers and handlers to know that in Mass
achusetts the large receivers and exporters
of apples have joined in a petition to the
Legislature of that State looking toward
their own interest as well as that of all
parties concerned in the matter of packing
them in barrels for market or shipment
The petition which they have signed asks
for legislature to compel growers and pack
ers of apples, when preparing them for
market. to use a uniform size barrel and to
observe proper methods of cleanliness in
order that the public may be protected and
all parties benefited. The provision, of the
bill as given in the Boston market reports
are as follows:
The petitioners ask that all apples shall
be packed in clean barrels When second
hand barrels are used they shall be thor ough-
" washed with clean water so that -four or
dirt shall not stick to nor faint the apples.
Apples shall be graded and designated No.
s,""No2s" and cider apples" No. Is shall
not be less than "a inches in diameter,
They shall be hand-picked, fair, smooth and
free from worm holes and bruises. No. Is
shall not be less than two inches in diameter,

other apples shall be called cider apples.
All apples shall be culled and pressed sohdiy
into the barrel. and each barrel shall be
branded on the head with the name of the
grower or packer and grade of the apples.
Each town shall appoint three inspectors of
apples, to serve without compensation In
case dispute arises between the grower or
packer and the buyer, either may appeal to
an inspector who shall decide the question
on its merits. his decision to be final The
party against whom the inspector decides
shall compensate him in the sum of 81 and
actual expense incurred for such gu stion.
