FEEDING POULTRY
FOR WINTER EGGS.
Be Sparlng With Corn, as Fat
Hens Won't Lay.

It is not a good plan to keep pullets
and mature hens together in the same
flock if we wish to get plenty of win
ter eggs. Laying pullets require and
consume with advantage an mount OF
food that will quickly overfatten the
hens, and the fat hen lays poorly or not
at all, writes w. II. Fisher In the
Rural New Yorker.
When layers OF all sorts and ages
are housed and fed together, either the
| pullets will get too little or the hens
will get too much, and in either case
we diminish egg production and are
apt to injure some Of the flock.
Overlooking is to be avoided in fowls
Of all ages, but 1t is much easier to
overfeed the mature bird than the
growing pullet. The tendency to take
on fat is common in the yearlings and
older hens Of all kinds, being most
marked in the larger and heavier
breeds. In order to avoid overlooking
one must take a good many other con-
ditions into account. Each must
study his birds and learn the details
of management for himself. Their be-
havior at feeding time Is a good iudi.
cation Of the amount of food that
should be given. If they are eager
and lively all goes we'll. If they move
about slowly and show Indifference
the amount Of the ration should be cut
down.
Breed should be considered. The
active, hustling Leghorn will dispose
Of more grain in proportion to it's size
and weight than the slow going
Cochin. Then the kind Of food that
forms the bulk Of the ration Is ar
item of Importance. Look out for the
~fattening effects Of corn. Too muct
fat puts an end to laying, and it is the
cause Of much Ill health and som
deaths in the poultry house in the win
ter.
