FOWLS IN
WINTER QUART
Notes of Interest to the
Owners of Poultry.

All the fowls should be in their
winter quarters By the beginning OF
this month. 1t is best that the pull
let's should have time to get accus-
toned to their new quarters before
they commence to lay.
Keep the pullets confined on the cold,
rainy DAYS
If the fresh air plan is to be followed.
the windows or curtains should be left
open until the mercury drops almost to
zero. If the hens are rather crowded
especially If burlap curtain is
dropped in front of the roost, the win
dows may be left uncovered through
out the winter, except possibly when
there Is driving story in progress
Fresh air houses usually mean healthy
stoc-s.
II is not too early to think about
a supply of dust or loan, to be used
for busting purposes during the win
ter. A barrel or two should be SET
aside before the ground freezes. Road
dust will serve very we'll. but the fowls
seem to prefer a little heavier soil.
This is a god month TO lay in a
supply of vegetables. dried clover or
lawn clippings. to~be used for green
rations during the cold months. No
flock can thrive satisfactorily unless
it has liberal supply of green food.
Mangels. turnips and cabbages are ex-
cellent vegetables for poultry. The
mangels are particularly good, and
often may be obtained at a very low
price.
/ If number of unused cabbages
happen to be on hand, they can be
kept by spreading them out on the
north side of the house. SO that they
do not touch, and covering them a
foot or more deep with leaves or hay
