upon the farmers of the state to stand

to encourage local producers to with

I'VE recommend that the masters i'm

oranges in the state, at which the merits
of this controversy shall have been
thoroughly discussed, and urge that
resolutions favorable to the milk pro-

seventy FIVE years has lived here.
Josophia Wells was born Oct. 18th, 1884,
and in her young womanhood married
Samuel N. Buzzell by whom she had five
children three of them now living. For

the death of her husband. Rev. Mr.
Gregory of Lunenburg conducted the
funeral services at the church and preach

She was member of this church for

they are liable to stop and not begin
again until the warm weather. On
the other hand. the much more fire.
quent mistake of the farmer is to
hatch the pullets out so late that the
cold weather catches them immature
and they remain stunted and undevel
oped and never begin laying until the
season of high prices is past.
The early Matched pullets should be
kept laying steadily from November
until the following August. AS to
whether they are to be sold at this
time or kept throughout the second
year of laying there is considerable
dispute among poultrymen. 1t has
been very carefully figured out. how
ever. that hens lay during the second
year about two-thirds as many eggs
as during their pullet year. 1t is
worth at least IS cents to 81 to bring
a pullet to laying maturity With
yield of $50 eggs during the pullet
year we may expect 100 eggs from the
hen during the second year. This loss
of fifty eggs just about offsets the cost
of raising an extra pullet to replace
the one we would sell, so it is practi-
cally an even break as to whether pull
lets should be sold at the end of their
first laying year or kept throughout
the second season. The majority of
poultrymen keep hens for laying the
two years.
Climate.
Climate and soil are essential fac
tors in egg production, but, of course,
cannot be controlled by the poultry
man who is once located. The chief
expense in egg production is the extra
care and food necessary in the winter
months. Likewise. in spite of all eff
forts, the poorest results are obtained
at this season of the year; hence the
advantage of being in a climate and
with soil where hens can run out
doors at all seasons of the year. Light
sandy soils even with the same tenn
perature are much better for poultry
for the reason that snow does not last
long upon them and grass and grain
would keep growing, where in heavier
soil they would have long since dw1n-
died away.
The heavy egg production of the
Australia egg laying contest. which
has excited considerable comment in
this country. has to be largely ascrib-
ed to the mild winter climate in the
region where the contest was held
Houses For Layers.
Those who live in milder climates
along the Atlantic shore from Phlla-
delphia south and. for that matter,
even on the New England coast. where
the breeZes from the sea melt the
snow quickly. will find that the most
profitable egg farming methods con-
sist in providing the hens with COM
Portable sleeping quarters and with
out going to any particular trouble to
provide them with daytime occupa-
tion Under such circumstances lay
ing hens may be fed grain and beef
scrap from hoppers. with perhaps one
mash of bran. corn. milk. cooked veg
etables. ETC.. once a day. This is the
simplest form of egg farming and is
practiced at the famous Little Comp
ton district in Rhode Island. The re-
suits in egg yield are probably not as
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1910-05-18

yarded this green food may be grown
along the side and cut, pulled and
thrown over the fence. For summer
and early fall use rape, which is an
excellent food, and there is little la
Dor attached to gathering a sufficient
quantity for the hens dinner. For
winter and early spring pasturage rye
is perhaps the best crop, though kale
planted the previous spring and fed by
gathering the lowest leaves off the
stock is excellent for confined hens.
In the case of laying hens the fact
must not be forgotten that laying is
the vital or reproductive function of
the hen and that as such is very close
IL related to the hens nervous organ
ism. With the finest of houses and
the most perfectly balanced rations, if
the hens are not happy and contented
they will not lay. Dogs and strangers
about the premises are known to have
a detrimental effect upon the egg yield,
and careful poultrymen will not permit
their hens to be frightened or worried
in any manner. 1t is in the observa-
ton of such points as these that dis
tinguishes the true husbandman from
those who fail as poultrymen.
