Making Hens Lay in Winter.

We are glad to see some one jump on
the college professor who told his stu
dents that they could make hens lay in
winter by feeding them powdered red
albumen mixed with an equal quantity
of red pepper"
The correspondent who scores the
professor fer giving this sort Of advice
to college students who aspire to the Sc
ductive and instructive delights of the
hennery, admits that filling hen with
red pepper may stimulate egg produc-
tion, but .ft will just as certainly re-
act and ruin the hen.' 1t Is taking
fowl advantage of the hen, anyway.
After eating red pepper she gets rest
less and uneasy and imagines that she
must lay an egg whether she wants to
or not. Moreover, eggs laid at such a
high temperature are apt to be scorch-
ed or slightly shirred and will not pass
the candlelight test on Water street.
The hen with several ounces of red
pepper in her internal arrangements is
also apt to get hot under the ruff and
quit the egg business in the middle of
winter when her fruit is in greatest
demand.
OF course, with eggs at cents
apiece, the temptation to give the hen
q rush order" in the shape OF an ounce
of red pepper is. great, and in this
avaricious age, when greed rules in the
hennery as we'll as in the wheat pit,
very few poultry enthusiasts are able
to resist 1t.
The protest against peppering the
egg chutes Of the hen to make her lay
in winter is timely and praiseworthy
What the hen needs in winter, says the
correspondent, is plenty of good food
Hight and exercise. A long walk before
breakfast and few sp-ints on the gol
