EXCELLENT TIME FOR LAYING
Not Advisable to Have PulIets Pro-
duclno Eges Before October
Cold Weather flinders.

Many poultry raisers believe that
the sooner pullets start laying the
greater the financial returns will be.
but this is not always the case. It is
not advisable to have pullets laying
before October at the earliest, except
In the few cases where winter eggs
are not wanted. II the birds start lay
ing earlier than October the cold
weather comes around, and probably
will not start again until the winter

Matched pullets sometimes do, they
usually moult In the fall and do not
lay again until February. But 1t Ia
equally bad II they do not start laying
by the middle Of November, a. they
probably will not start in until the end
of January at the earliest and perhaps
not until the end Of February or the
beginning of March.
The time the pullets are Matched
has more to do with the time they
start laying than anything else,
but the system of feeding has consid.
cradle to do with it also. II pullets
are maturing too quickly they should
receive free range and be fed only
once a day, about 8 or 4 o'clock in the
afternoon being the best time. The
food should be only dry grain, and
oats are about as good az anything
for the purpose. As soon as the early
pullets freely receive nutritious foods
they start laying.
