POULTRY IN WINTER.
The Effect of Close Confinement on the
 Production of Egg"

The Effect of Close Confinement on the
 Production of Egg,
 There is a larger profit from poul- try, ill proportion to the amount of capital invested, than from larger stock or crops, and the winter season is the best for securing the largest profits. At tha present day the fowls are regarded a, something more than "accidental adjuucts on farm, and receive greater attention than for merly, the tree-tops and fences being no longer the only roOsting-places, and they are not compeled to seek their food in the cold weather. With the Use of tho poo! breeds some have managed to make large profits from poultry on small locations, and as poultry and eggs are always in de- mand, the results are satisfactory wherever the hens have been made a speciality.
 One of the causes of a lack of eggs in the winter season is that the fowls are fed on too much grain, and do not have that exercise 70 necessary for thcir thrift and comfort. From the former extreme of allowing the birds to shift for themselves" they are now too closely confined, and do not receive the food necessary for the production Of eggs. There is more injury done by feeding grain exclusively than from any other cause The laying hen should not be allowed to get into fat condition h fact. hens intended for the market should be separate from the layers, as the food for one class should not be the same as for the other. The tir.t essential is warm, dry quarters, and the next is a variety of food The hen must have bulky food, like animals. and eau not keep in good condition on grain alone. An eX- celent mode of feeding is to chop clover-hay into half-inch lengths, scald ii, sprinkle the mess with bran, and feed it twice day, with an oHnce of meat three times per week to each hen. Such a mixture will be much better and cheaper than giving them nothing but grain The hens should also be given scratch ingpluce (cUt straw or dry earth), into which handful of grain is thrown, so as 10 induce them to scratch and work.
 A eggs ara highest in winter, and the cost of production lower compared with the price, the management of large loe,, oi hco7 will give employ mout Co some la Noa1d otherwise be idle during the winter season, and the labor is, therefore, only applied from necessity, but a flock of one hundred hens can be made to pay one hundred dollars before the season for low prices arrives, while 8 larger sum may be secured with artificial modes of rais- ing broiiers for the market, The hens will afford an opportunity to many for winter work if advantage be taken of opportunities, and favorable location. -IHiia@c'pbju Hr orA.
