One Of the achievements Of modern
poultry keeping is that Of forcing a hen
to doff her old coat, and grow a new

do so naturally. Many hens shed their
feathers so late In tae season. natural

before they get new suits. consequently
they seldom begin laying before spring.
II the moult can be FASTENED so that

supply of eggs during fall and winter.
The result Is usually accomplished
by cutting of all meat and mash foods.
