PREPARING FOR WINTER.
Timely Advice For Placing Poultry In
Winter Quarters.

Timely Advice For Placing Poultry In
Winter Quarters.
"Make hay while the sun shines"
is a motto to be adopted by poul-
terers these fine autumn days.
Quantities of leaves should be stored
away to be used in strewing the
floors of the henneries after the
daily cleaning up. The sand heap
should be replenished also, so as to
insure a fresh supply during winter.
A load or two of sawdust will be
useful too; it is a good absorbent.
Before poultry goes into winter
quarters, see that they are free from
vermin. If lice are found, apply
a mixture made of lard and
kerosene. Mix we'll by stirring
until of the consistency of cream,
and apply freely to the head, wings,
legs, etc. Do not depend upon sui
phur in the dust bath rather mix in
soft food. Sulphur should be given
about once week to fowls.
Feather eating is caused by a
deficiency of sulphur in foods. Sui
phur is obnoxious to vermin by be-
ing absorbed by the system, and
finding outlet at the pores. AS it is
the custom with the poultrymen to
"cull" all undesirable poultry at
this season, and to arrange for those
that it is desired to keep over, it fol-
lows that they should have been OBJ
servant enough to know the char
acteristics of each fowl, lest, in
order to make room for young fowls,
the older ones be sacrificed, which
would really have been the most
profitable.
An undesirable quality in hen is
a desire to brood after laying a few
eggs. This is due generally to too
much fat, and is common in some of
the Asiatics. Such one is better
set apart for pot pie at an early
date, or for market. Informed
poultry is to be discarded also, if
flocks are to be kept up to a high
standard, Poultry should be well
along in the moulting process now;
some will be through; these will
make your winter layers. If poultry
does not finish moulting by the time
cold weather sets in, they will be
likely to postpone laying until
spring, but such will prove good
early spring layers, and will con.
tinue laying all summer, which will
be full compensation for the winters
inactivity, provided food and space
can be spared.
AS with the'late mOulting ones sc
with the late pullets. Pullet'
Matched in March will moult in No
vember, or possibly in December
just at the time when eggs are bring
ing a good price. Those pullet'
which were hatched in April will b'
the oues to depend upon for eggs
during the winter. 1t is desirable
to give foods containing oils, sucl
as linseed meal, etc., to hasten thu
"feathering out" and poultry

Hints on Feeding.

Young animals cannot digest solid
food until they have their grinding
teeth through. II will be wise to
avoid feeding young lambs any
grain until they are thus far ad-
vanced, says the American Sheep
Breeder. A little meal, sailed, may
be given, however, by the hand, to
tame them, and prepare them for
feeding in this way by and by. 1t is
good thing to have a good fresh
cow on hand when the young lambs
are appearing. A few drinks of the
new milk may save many a lamb.
Later in the season preparations
should be made for good supply of
cabbage and turnips for the flock.
These are for next winters feeding,
when they will 90 far to keep the
flock healthy. 1t is a wise precau-
ton to separate the lambs from the
Older sheep as soon as possible, to
avoid the infection of the young
things by the numerous parasites
carried by the old sheep. These, by
their greater natural hardness, do
not suffer from them as the weaker
lambs will. Some ewes are poor
mixers, for, although the feeding
may be the same, some will milk
better than others. But we may be
sure the milk is made from the food,
and some extra good feed may help
the eve to do better. This is a
point to be taken note of by the
shepherd, so that the less produc-
tive ewes may be helped out with
more liberal supply of feed. Alter
nate pastures are great help to the
flock. Sheep love change, and
naturally are wandering in their
habits. A freshened pasture, there
fore, will greatly help them as a
change now and then.
