PRODUCING EGGS
IN THE WINTER
BY L. W. SCHWARTZ.
Wisconsin College OF Agriculture.

One of the first and the most i'm
portant factors in producing eggs in
winter Is the age OF the birds. Pull
let's are those hens laying for the
first time. This class lays more the
first year. beginning to lay early in
the winter, when the price of eggs Is
on the increase. The yearlings are
those laying for the second season.
They begin later in the winter than
do the pullets and. as a rule, lay a
smaller number OF eggs. We should
not keep the birds after their second
winter, because after that period they
do nothing more than just about pay
for their keeping.
Chickens should have a warm, com
Portable place in which to roost. This
should have no draughts and be dry
above all else. Sunlight should have
free access to all of the house at
some time during the day. In order
to have this. the house should face
toward the south. Sunlight is not
only necessary to the health OF the
fowls, but IL is also great germicide
and aids very materially in keeping
the house dry.
Another secret that goes hand In
hand with fresh air and sunlight Is
the cleanliness and neatness Of the
house.

To have the hens happy. is a Sc.
cret of egg production. The best way
to do this Is to keep them busy and
to furnish good, clean food. Make

the grain in a deep litter OF clean
straw. A foot OF straw !s none too
much. A good grain ration used at
the Wisconsin college OF agricul-
ture il made OF two parts by weight
OF corn, two parts of wheat, and one
part OF oats. This should be thrown
In the litter in the morning and after
half as much in the morning as at
night. To get the best results. a dry
mash ration should also be fed.
The following ration Is used at the
meal one part bran. one part wheat
middlings, one part alfalfa meal. one
part ground oats. one quarter part
oil meal and one-half part beef scrap.
,, II must be borne In mind that in win

IS HELD OFFICIAL
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES APP
POlNTMENT HOLDS FOR
20 DAYS AT LEAST.
SAYS DONALD MUST ATTEST
Under Law Secretary Must Counter
sign Appointment Of /. A. Anderson
as State Insurance Commits sioner-
Action by Ekern Expected.

Madison.--A decision by Attorney
John S. Donald, secretary of state,
must, under the law, countersign the
appointment of l.. A. Anderson, as
insurance commissioner to succeed
Herman l.. Ekern. Owens holds that
Anderson is now the legally appoint
ed commissioner, regardless of the
fact that no action has been taken by
the senate. Owens holds that Ander-
son will be commissioner for the next
twenty days, the time limit within
which the senate must act.
The decision was Immediately
made known to Ekern, who has been
practically in a state of siege in his
offices. 1t is believed that Ekern will
at once take action in the supreme
court to prevent his successor from
taking office. The nature of this ac-
ton is unknown.
Il regard your duty in the pre-
misses to be clear and unequivocal,
says the attorney general in the opin-
ion to Secretary of State Donald. The
opinion says that the secretary has
no discretion in a case of this kind,
that the latter's duty is plain and that
he is directed by law to perform it.
An editorial in La Follette's Maya
zine protests against the governors
dismissal of Herman l.. Ekern from
the Office of insurance commissioner.
The article says in part: How much
of this attempt to destroy his great
work for the state is due to political
malice and how much, if any, is due
to the Vaccinations of the insurance
combination of Wall street, with
which one George w. Perkins is con-
nected, cannot now be determined.
The people of Wisconsin will not sub
NIT to this. They will not suffer
this man or his important service to
leave upon any pretext, however dis
guised."
