Winter Eggs.

Eggs in winter are the eggs that pay,
but IL requires skill and care 10 induce
the hens to 10y them. The following
from the Ohio Poultry Journal strikes
the point fairly: The fowls winter
quarters should be warm and comfort
able, not only for their well being, but
IL is q saving of food and a stimulus to
egg production. The use of food Is to
sustain life and to maintain warmth and
good condition of body. Food is to the
fowl what wood or coal IS to the stove:
Food is the fuel that heats the body and
IL the outside atmosphere is kept warm
it will not require so much heat In the
fowls, or In other words, they will not
require so much food fuel to keep
themselves comfortable and can spare
some for the production of eggs.
In a cold hennery all the food the
fowls can consume will only keep up
animal heat and supply the wastes OF
the system. If you want eggs in the
winter, and your fowls to look well and
keep in good condition, a comfortable
house, a varied diet Of graia, vegeta.
bles, meat, cleanliness, pure air, light
and plenty Of exercise are the main es-
sentials for prepossessing look, good
condition of body and egg production.
AS a rule we are too exacting and ex-
pectant of productive work, while we
neglect their proper care and treatment
at time when they are not in natur-
al condition to be productive. 1t will
not do to feed them too much or PAM
per them with highly concentrated
food. A warm mess in the morning of
mixture of middling, corn meal or
barley meal, bran and potatoes, turnips
or carrots, some small wheat. millet or
oats scattered through chaff, leaves,
gravel, or some loose material to
scratch in to keep busy in finding the
kernels, some vegetables or roots to
pick at during leizure moments and
full feed of wheat, barley and corn just
before going to roost.
The food may be varied every few
days, or, better, mix in each mess
Wheat should constitute the main grain
food, with buckwheat, barley and oats.
A little corn is good but too much 10
too heating and drying to blood and
tissues. Ground oats, corn and barley,
with middling and bran mixed in, say
half and half, make splendid feed for
flesh and egg production. Cabbage Is
the leading vegetable, but carrots, tur-
nip and beets are excellent too If cab
bage is not at hand. Fowls may do
well by feeding them grain and veg
etables in crude state. but common
sense teaches us that a cooked and
warm mess seasoned for the morning
meal will be better relished and do
them more good after long nights
fasting than if fed to them raw because
it is more easily digested. more heat
ing and they receive its nutritive prop
critics much quicker.
