Forced Melting

To get many eggs in the carly
part OF winter, one must have
his hens we'll moltcd early, so
the new feathers shall be grown
before cold weather begins.
Poultrymcn who were making a
specially of winter eggs long sc.
lected hens that had mol.cd
early, and wished for some way
to force their hens TO mott. |, is
quite a recent thing that it has
been recognized by poultrymcn
in good standing ,ha. molting
can be forced.
The process is very simple
and is as follows: Part OF the
food is withheld about two weeks.
This stops egg production and
reduces the weight OF the hens.
Next they arc fed heavily on a
ration suited to the growing Of
feathers aud the building up OF
the system. The hens will no,
only mott more rapidly, but also
more uniformly; and will enter
winter in a better condition than
If fed right through the Noting
period on an egg producing ra-
ton.
Either with or without this
method being used the ration
should be more heterogeneous
than what il usually fed. Both
the increase ia animal food and
the addition CT a little i,nsced
meal during the mott will help TO
produce new feathers. Skim.
milk can be used az u fair sub.
stitutc for animal food, but
nothing can wholly take the place
OF meat. For the health OF
The fowls, it is advisable to
protect them from drafts and
weather that is chilly and damp
during the molt.

Land that ovcrflows is generally

soil that il overlooked arc no,
favorable; but the foregoing
facts may enable one to see sha,

Red clover is a good crop on

Mr.. Sanders has loudly called for
some one to charge him with some

every action that challenge like Mr..

Splendid Site for Watering place
Ebenezer campground, situated or

Vim parishes, in the finest location
for watering place in the State o'
Louisiana. There are seven splendid
never-f:.iling springs surrounding IN
elevated knoll of about twelve acres,
all we'll shaded with gum, oak, pine
and other trees. The water OF all oi
the springs is cool, limpid, clear as
crystal, nndexceedingly pleasnntani
refreshing to drink. Moreover there
are numerous authentic cases OF the
curative and health-giving effect of
these waters, and, while no analysis
OF their properties has been made,
there ARE hundreds of persons who
nre we'll satisfied and can certify that
they have undoubted medicinal
virtue.
The capacity OF these springs il
well proven by the annual attend
ance Mt ELenezer camp meeting. when
two or three thousand people and
numerous animals ARE watered daily,
aud have an abundance To spare.
These springs nre within one mile OF

surrounding country is principally

streams nre quite near. In addition
