Beginners With Poultry,

1t is unfortunate for one to en-
ter into a business and fail be-
cause of ignorance or lack of
knowledge of how to manage,
and it is seldom that it is done in
mercantile pursuits, yet hun
dreds attempt the poultry bust
ness under the supposition that
anybody can raise chickens"
when the fact is that the poultry
business requires more skill in
management than is required in
raising cattle or other large stock.
The reason is that if a farmer
has one or two cows, the small
number permits him to become
familiar with each animal. He
knows their peculiarities, the
kinds of food preferred by each,
and should one of them become
sick he quietly detects it and at
once proceeds to use remedies,
If necessary sitting up all night
to take care of it, With a flock
of fifty hens, however, the case
is different. Although the flock
will not require any more room
than one COW, yet there are fifty
individuals, each being entirely
diffTent in many respects from
and all having their

Photographed Comment.

Ira d. Sankey the evangelist,
has been kicking up a big rum
pus with the duck farms near
his home at Eastport, Long
Island. Mr.. Sankey wanted the
duck farm abolished as a nuis-
ance by the Board of Health.
Sankey don't like their quacking
and DECLARES the ducks don't
smell nice. After an investiga-
ton the Board of Health con-
cluded that Rev. Sankey had bet
ter move if he couldn't stand the
ducks. The Board stood by the
ducks, and intimated that the
birds were a necessity, while
Rev. Sankey was not, or words
to that effect. Good for the
ducks! Hurrah for the Board of
Health!

When puIlets Take to Laying,

At this time of year we anx-
iously look day by day for our
first pullets' eggs. Some early
hatched stock has been laying
week or two, but Novem Der is
the month for pullets' eggs.
1t is very important to place
your pullets in coops as they are
intended to remain during the
fall and winter. 1t takes them a
while TO get accustomed to their
surroundings, or, in other words,
to feel at home. Fowls are great
creatures of habit, and once they
establish certain habits they do
not like to be disturbed. Nov
ing LAYERS, therefore, from coop
to coop simply upset their hab-
it's, and they begin all over again
to study the new situation, and
during this time they usually
stop laying. .
When pullets begin to lay they
Seem quite uncertain. Some will
1ay regularly every other day,
land some only twice a week. OF
course the first eggs are gener-
ally too small for market use,
but they increase gradually in
size. 1t becomes quite a. study.
to keep pullets laying regularly.
A regular system of feeding Mas
much to do wifAit BY regular
feeding is meant not so much, a
regular hour as a regular guam
fifty at each meal. One day a.
feast and the next famine, will
upset any flock of layers, and cs-
pecially pullets. Fowls, as a
rule, eat about so much at each
meal, and it is a very easy matter
to determine Just the quantity
required. Feeding a little short
during the day induces exercise;
and feeding all they will eat at
night brings contentment and
quiet roosting until morning. I'll
is my opinion that the majority
of breeders, even our best, feed
too much, or feed injudiciously.
Feeding layers to produce eggs
is very delicate matter-I do
not mean to produce an ordinary
mum Der of eggs, but to produce
the greatest possible number.
consider that green food of
some sort fed every day in the
year is really more important in
a continuous egg yield than a
choice of grains. OF course, in
spring and summer, nature in
the fields produces green food
enough and of sufficient variety,
but in the fall and during the
winter, this green food ration
should be kept up. Cabbages,
mangel wurzels and steamed
clover, together with boiled
beets, carrots and turnips, fill
the bill almost as well.
The hardest task in maintain
ing a constant and continuous
egg yield is to keep the laying
stock in prime condition. This
means such a condition of perfect
health that the eggs will not only
be laid regularly, but that they
will be of uniform size, according
to the breed laying them. IN
der such conditions, we should
have large eggs from Minorcas,
Leghorns, Plymouth Rocks and
Brahmas. When such breeds
lay small eggs, abnormally large
eggs with perhaps double yolks
or soft sEellcd eggs, the stock is
out of condition and usually over
fat. The eggs will thus be laid
irregularly, and many times lay

ity is induced by short feeding.
A hungry hen is usually a good
layer.
Some breeds, such as Leg
horns, Minorcas, Andalusians,
etc, are by nature active, but
still they can be overfed. Other
breeds, such as Brahmas, Coch-
ms and Laugshans being natur-
ally slow i'm their movements, are
less active, and can be easily
overfed. AS a rule, lazy hens
are poor layers, and must be in
duced to exercise. Hunger will
compel activity more or less.
Some breeds are called good for
ayers. If hens are inclined to
forage, and they can do this in a
coop as we'll as in the fields, they
must find something after a dill
gent search. Scattering grain,
therefore, in very deep litter,
will compel a great deal of exer-
else to find it. a hen that seeks
and finds will be induced to seek
again; but, if after great efforts
in scratching, she finds nothing,
she will become discouraged and
wait for feed time, and then eat
too much, and thus contract lazy
habits.
A very successful egg farmer
once told me that in winter he
always had something in his
coops for his hens to pick at
scattered grain, cabbage hang
ing up, aud even bones with a
little meat on them, always some
thing to find in order that his
flock should not contract lazy
habits. In this he was humoring
the natural instict of the animal.
A hen let run at large is almost
always hunting, picking and
scratching-frst at a blade of
grass, then a bug, then a worm
and next a seed. l think yarded
hens lay more eggs than fowls
let run. They cost more to keep,
but the returns in eggs are us
ually larger. The fact is that
varded hens fed on food which is
chosen because it will make eggs,
convert this food into eggs, as it
is intended they should, whereas
if let run and fed the same way,
they are apt to convert the food
into flesh and music rather than
eggs.
Water may help layers, but it
is not as necessary as one would
think. Yarded fowls and those
cooped up close, without access
to yards in winter, drink much
more than fowls with free range.
Drinking becomes a habit, the
same as in humans, and when
fowls are idle they take a drink,
not knowing what else to do.
This is because the water is
handy by. In winter fowls should
be watered once day. The best
time is about ten o'clock in the
morning and let the pans remain
full until after evening feed,
when they should be emptied for
the night, and cleaned, to be
ready for the next day. Water
ing too early in winter simply
induces fowls to fill their crop
with ice water, and this process
will in time check laying.
Feeding for a continuous egg
yield requires good judgment,and
a great deal of careful watching
in order to keep the flock in
prime condition. A good laying
strain of any breed, when in
