FEEDING FOWLS IN WINTER.
How a Successful Woman Poultry
Raiser Manages Her Flock.

/ do not know as my method OF
| feeding has any particular virtue in it,
but at any rate get a fair amount of
eggs from my fowls in the winter sea-
son, SO I believe that my methods are
not very far wrong, writes Carrie Vim
ton in Farmers Review. AS early in
the morning as the fowls can see to
pick up feed 1 give them a feeding of
whole grain, which 1 scatter in litter
on the feeding floor. The fowls hop
down from the roosts and begin to get
to work scratching in the litter. AS
they are all very hungry at that time
they work with vigor and this makes
them warm. On some of the very
cold mornings when I go to the poul-
try house the fowls have their feath-
ers pulled up all around them to keep
a good cushion of air around their
bodies. They however soon lose this
appearance of GOODNESS after they
have scratched in the litter for a few
minutes.
At noon again I give them more
grain in the litter, and they have to
do more scratching. I notice that
some of the hens that are inclined to
be lazy do not like this sort of thing,
but they have to get to work or go
hungry. Since I have been feeding all
my grain in litter, ] have not had any
over-fat hens. At noon also l give the
fowls the roots they are to have, and
find that mangles and sugar beets
are particularly good. The fowls also
like turnips, though l notice that some
farmers report that their fowls do not
care for them. I feed the roots whole
when the weather is mild, and that
gives the fowls more cause for exer-
else. But in the cold weather I feed
the roots chopped or mashed, for the
whole roots would freeze in a short
time during our coolest days.
Cabbages feed to limited extent,
but they do not seem so necessary
when the fowls have turnips and
beets. However, cabbages are easy to
keep from month to month and make
good source of supply of green food
when the other kinds run out. A
little while before dark I feed a mash
as hot as the fowls can eat it and
they seem to relish it greatly. I think
that the lower animals appreciate
warm food about as much as we do.
This mash is composed of different
things. Bran enters into it, and some
corn meal and shorts help make up
the mixture. But the largest ingre.
dent is ground oats, for the oats are
very valuable as food for fowls. The
fact that they are so evenly balanced
in their constituents makes it advis
able to feed them in some form or
other. When I can get meat meal I
put some in, but perhaps not more
than enough to flavor the mass I
feed ground bone on which there is
some meat, and this makes it unneces.
sary to feed large quantities of meat
meal.

POULTRY PICKINGS.

Birds cannot tell their feelings,
hence we must judge and prescribe
from symptoms alone.
The causes of malignant colds are
filth, dampness, drafts, neglect and
improper food.
Ducks seldom become broody;
geese are apt to become broody after
laying the first litter.
Eggs from yearling ducks hatch
well, but geese must be about three
years old to show strong fertility.
When a fowl sneezes, waters slight
ly at eyes and nostriIs and dumps it
has a common cold, not regarded as a
germ disease.
The pullets Matched in March will
make good layers for the late fall,
and then they can be handled so they
will lay all winter.
Don't depend on any secret system
of breeding layers. If you don't know
your flock we'll enough to select the
layers to breed from your case is
hopeless.
Be sure conditions are favorable,
then apply the Ratchet to the hen
that persists in striking every time
the price of eggs advances.
