MAKE A COLD FRAME
AND THEN USE 1T RIGHT
Prof. II. Harold
Adjunct of Early

In the south cold frames are in use
all winter. The principal winter crops
grown are lettuce. radlshes, beets,
cauliflower and occasionally cabbage,
while these crops are commonly fol.
lowed in spring by cucumbers, canta-
ioups and sometimes Irish potatoes.
The frames are easily made Rough
inch lumber, heart pine is best in the
south, and hemlock in the north, and
2x4 or 2x3-inch scantling are all that
is required. For the double frames,
strips three inches wide and three
fourths or onehalf inch thick, long
enough to extend across the frame,
should be provided for rafters. The
back or north side of the single frame
should be IL or Is inches high, while
the front should slope down to eight
inches. In southern practice where
canvas covers are used, the back
should be 21s feet and all cracks
should be we'll covered with building

Such a staple Is put on each end of all

end is placed forward, there will be
such n staple on which to hang the
number. II is not necessary to un-
hook the tin for making records on the
back. Just stoop down beside the
hive; lift up the lower end of the tin

notes or add more. These will be up

and are readily read from the top.

FORCING OR RerARpINo.
Suggestions offered by an Expert
Poultryman Concerning PuIlets.

James Il. Rice, poultryman Of the
Cornell university experiment station
issued bulletin relative to the pos
sibilities of feeding early hatched pull
lets during the summer by retarded or
forced feeding.
BY retarding is meant the idea that
feeding is necessary during the late
summer to check the early tendency
of laying. with the hope of getting a
larger egg yield in the early winter
BY forced feeding is meant the CIV
Ing Of rich stimulating mash to in
duce egg production.
Concerning the results of his work
Mr.. Rice has certain findings drawn
from data which are submitted below:
l. Forced pullets made better
profit than retarded pullets.
2. Forced pullets ate less food per
hen at less cost per hen than retarded
| pullets.
3. Forced pullets produced more
eggs of larger size. at less cost per
dozen than retarded pullets.
4. Forced pullets produced more
eggs during early winter than retard-
ed pullets.
3. Forced pullets have better hatch
Ing results of eggs than retarded pull
lets.
O. Forced pullets made n better per-
centage of gain in weight than re-
tarded pullets.
Z. Forced pullets showed less
broodiness than retarded pullets.
8. Forced pullets had less mortality
than retarded pullets.
g. Forced pullets showed better
vigor than retarded pullets.

II. Pullets having whole grain ate
more grit and shell than those having

Is. Pullets fed on grain were more
inclined to develop bad habits than

The upper end of glass sash may
be held down with a hook and staple,

lengthwise on the center of the raf-

ends of the twine used in tying them
