GOING AFTER WINTER EGGS
Few Simple Suggestions on Care and
Feeding That Will Bring Good
Results If Followed.
(By w. w. STORMS.)

The laying hen is usually search
| Ing for what she needs to make eggs.
She takes what she wants in the
way of food and let's the rest alone.
If you compel her to take what
she doesn't want or take nothing, why
of course she will take what you pro-
vide, rather than starve to death, but
she won't lay as many eggs.
Therefore, we like the hopper
method of feeding. We always pro-
vide a self-feeder hung on the wall
just high enough so the hens can eat
what they want without wasting 1t on
the floor.
A better method is to provide a
platform 16 inches or SO above the
/ floor, SO the fowl can jump up and
! down for the feed and water they
! desire, and then go back to the litter
TO work for the grain that is scat
| tered in 1t.
In one apartment of the self-feeder
. Is grit; another, charcoal; another,
oyster shells; another, equal parts Of
finely cracked corn, wheat, barle,v and
OATS another, beef-scraps; in still an
other is placed dry bran.
You might think that the hens will
eat too much, but they won't; they
will eat only what they want.
Scatter the whole grain, such as
wheat, barley and corn in the litter.

Feed them whole corn at night, es-
pecialIy on cool nights. They need a
cropful to keep up the bodily heat
overnight.
Give them table-scraps and green
food at noon. For green food we use
cabbages, mangel-wurtzels, sugar
beets, chopped apples, etc. Onions are
also relished, but they are liable to
flavor the eggs.
Fowls should have plenty of fresh
water, and we never warm it. They
like a cool, fresh drink the same as
we do.
Provide a dust-bath so they may
help to rid themselves Of lice. Use
plenty of liquid louse-killer and keep
the whole pen scrupulously clean.
If variety of food is given there
is no need of fear about plenty of
eggs. Do not feed whole grain in
hoppers. Only the ground food, beef
scraps and bran is fed there.
