BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH
Cleveland institution Plans to Try a
New System.

The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
new system of church management.
business manager has been ap-
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances of the
church. AS executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues OF
members. subscriptions, etc, and pay
all expenses. He will serve as sec
retary OF the standing committees of
the church and keep a record OF their
business for transmission to the off,
cial board. This. II Is expected, will
leave the pastor free to give atten.
ton to the larger plans of the work
and to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial has the largest
membership of all the Protestant
churches in the city. 1t has an ex-
tensive charity work and handles over
$4,000 in contributions every year

THE FALL AND WINTER
CARE OF THE PULLETS
Ration Needed to Get
the Esss-By James j. HaIpin Michigan

When the cold nights begin to come
1t is time to bring the puilets into
winter quarters. They should then
begin to show signs OF approaching
maturity. Before Bringing them in,
clean the house they are to occupy.
whitewash it thoroughly and disinfect
the perches, nest boxes, etc. Be sure
that the disinfectant enters every
crack and crevice. Then cover the
floor with about four inches of fine
gravel or sand. Cover this with six
inches of dry. clean, long straw. as
the pullets will break II up quickly
enough Whore leaves are plentiful
they may be used and make very sat
isfactory litter. although they do not
last as long as straw.
When the house is ready remove
the pullets to it carefully. Do not
carry them by one leg only or other
wise misuse them. Any rough han
ding at this time viii. mean a subse-
quent loss in the eggbasket OF course
change always produces timidity.
but by exercising great care they will
soon become accustomed to their new
quarters. When about to enter the
house slight noise announcing ones
approach before opening the doors
will prevent fright and injury from a
sudden rush or flight against obstacles
in the pen. Chickens soon get to
know the call Of low, soft whistle
announcing to them the coming Of the
feed basket. At this stage the repro
ductive organs are developing rapid
ly and any abuse or frightening may
cause the loss of some of the finest
in the flock.
We have entered poultry houses in
the winter where the windows have
been closed for days at time The
hens are found standing around with
their feathers rufiied and looking as

month. On November 80, 1906, the
range TO slide one in from either side.
Both should usually be left open a
little while during the day except in
extremely cold weather. Hens enjoy
sunshine and fresh air but it should
come through the window and not
through cracks and crevices No one
should expect hens to lay well in a
house that is not constructed with
tight walls. The sides of many hen
houses are made of unmatched lum-
Der, which has shrunk, leaving cracks
through which wind, rain and snow
blow, perhaps directly on the fowls
No one should expect hens to do well
in such a place. A few dollars spent
on building paper and a few feet of
battens will work great change for
the better. Simply spread the build
ing paper smoothly over the sides
of the house and then place battens
on every IS inches. A good coat of
paint will improve the appearance,
and make 1t more lasting
Next let us consider the feed that
the pullets should have when they
come in off the range. While on the
range they doubtless found an abun-
dance of green food and meat in the
form of grass and insects. We must
supply these two foods when the pull
lets are confined to the laying houses.
If we can secure skim milk at rea-
sonable price, or have it on the farm
1t will be found to be an excellent
food. Very often one can buy green
bone and scraps or waste meat from
the markets at reasonable price Any
of these may be utilized as well as
scraps from the table, as long as they
are fresh. No one should be guilty
of feeding partially decayed meat in
any form. We cannot expect people
to pay good process for eggs IL our
fowls eat unclean food. In some in
stances the hens are fed the meat
from any animal that dies: this prac-
tice should not be allowed. Numerous
complaints are made annually because
even fresh eggs are off In flavor
When the source of the trouble is
traced out we invariably find the
hens have been fed unclean food.

Oll meal or oil cake may also be added
10 the mash feed. We like to use 100
pounds of bran, rs pounds of mid
dlings, 20 pounds oil meal, 100 pounds
corn meal and 100 pounds beef scrap.
Canada peas also make an excellent
addition to the ration during the
moulting period. The fowls soon learn
to cat them and they will help keep
the birds vigorous during the st; ain
of the moulting period.
There is as much in care and man.
agement as in the food Keep the
mems busy all day and then give them
enough to fill the crops at night. In
this way one can have healthy fowls
and avoid many bad habits. If a hop
per is used TO feed mash, supply a
hsht feed of grain in the litter in the
morning; stir it in well so they have
to work to find 1t. At noon open the
hopper and let them help themselves
until about four o'clock, when IL
should be closed and the hens fed an
abundant feed of grain. II some grain
is left in the litter they will search
1t out the next morning II moist
mash Is fed 1t should be given at noon
and then in moderation as the hens
are very fohd of warm, crumbly mash
in cold weather. and may engorge
their crops If fed too much. Aim to
have constant supply of fresh water.
DO not allow the fowls to get too
hungry but endeavor to keep them
comfortable, busy and contented. BY
strict adherence to these rules one
should be able to make the strong
vigorous pullets lay well all the fall
and winter.
