Poultry World, if they are ex.

December and January weather.
Now and then we find an egg
or two, dropped by the fowls in mid
winter. But as rule, unless we aid
them with warmth and kind usage
then, they will not discount" for us in
the extreme cold season. II we desire
to have freSh-laid eggs, therefore, in
the winter-time, be it remembered, we
must use the pullets which have come
from the early previous spring hatch.
and we must provide them with good
warm houses, stimulating food, and
good care through the autumn and
early winter months When we come
to the breeding stockholm which the
succeeding spring we desire to produce
fresh matches of chickens-then the
later birds of the previous year, or the
two or three-year-old hens that come
into laying in February and March, will
be profitable. Winter-laid eggs are of
no account for Matching purposes, ex.
cept in the incubator And although it
may be well enough to start an early
brood or two annually, the bulk of all

How 1t May BE Enlarged at Compare
lively Small Expense.
There are scores of poultry houses
in the land that are detached buildings
in themselves, and in size something
like ten by fourteen feet, accomodat-
ing twenty or twenty-five fowls; and
there are scores of owners of these
buildings who would like to keep
larger stock of poultry We're the ac-
commodations for housing them am
pie. The accompanying sketch shows
how these single houses may readily be
enlarged to three times their present
size, and that, too, at small expense.
Two wings of equal dimensions with
the original building are built upon its
sides, the roof of each being contin-
uation of the original roof, though
forming small angle at the point of
luncturc. The side walls of the old
building are left intact for increased
warmth in the inner room, where n
more tender breed of fowls, such as the
Lcghorns, may be kept in winter, Civ
ing the outside rooms to the more
hardy Plymouth Rocks or Brahmas.
Through these side walls, however, is

AMONG THE POULTRY.

PLAN to have the hens lay when eggs
are dear.
BOILED mill, is one of the best RENE
dies for diarrhea.
IT is only in exceptional cases that
pull let's should be sold.
In nearly all cases gapes is caused by
feeding in filthy places,
SUNFLowER seeds make good food
for the hens while molting
YoUNG fowls that are being kept for
growth should never be overfed.
ANY stimulant fed too plenufully
and persistently soon loses its effect
a GOOD sprinliling of fresh earth is
one of the best materials to keep down
bad odors.
RED pepper is only temporary slim
ulant, and increases the appe tite for n
short time only.
OILY foods should not be fed to laying
hens except in cold weather or when
they are molting,
HEALTHY fowls pick up their food
quickly and relishit When they do not
something is wrong.
UNLESS it is necessary it is rarely
good economy to market small chickens
late in the summer or early fall.
SELL off the surplus cockrels and
late-hatched pullets. The latter will
not lay until late in the spring.
SUNFLowER seed and oilmeal can be
fed to good advantage in small quaint.
ties during the molting season.
THERE is no reason for keeping and
feeding old roosters that will not be
wanted for breeding next season.
GIVE them chance and the ducks
and geese will soon clean up the purs
lane in the garden; they are very fond
of it.
No MATTER what breed is selected
vigor and activity should always b,
considered. An overgrown, fat fow
is nuisance.
WHEN it can be done conveniently, Il
will be good plan TO SOW II patch o
rye close TO rhe poultry house for fal
and winter pasturage. The fowls vii
pick over it every day that the weathe
will permit.-St Louis Republic.

Wisdom Founded on Experience, In "A Con-

Never waste time in wintering weak

Never take from a strong colony in
the spring to build up weak one, as
you may lose the work of both of them.
Never keep a supcrannuated queen

Never leave newly-hived swarm

you may be surprised by its taking to
the woods. Remove 1t to stand at a
