GOOD WINTER LAYERS
Many Things Needed for Winter
Egg Production.
Pcultrymen Must Look Carefully into
Proper Housing and Care of Birds
to Secure Greatest Returns
From Their Flocks.

The winter season is rapidly ap-
preaching and poultry raisers in order
to have a successful season and get
the greatest returns from their tiocks
must look carefully into the proper
housing and care OF the birds during
the cold, blustery days which will
soon be here.
The time is also rapidly approaching
when diseases peculiar to the feath-
cred beauties, and large money yield
ers, will develop. Should you not be
in a position to exterminate the mala-
dies quickly, all your expected profits
will be turned into losses and the sea
son made a failure. Should this be
the case you will at once set up the
cry there is no money in chickens"
This is up to you, If you sit idly by
during these bright, beautiful days
and give no heed to the future com
fort of your fowls, do not complain
when you do not get eggs when they
are a luxury or set up wall when
your birds are picked off by the raw
ages of disease. Roup time will soon
be here and this is indeed most
dangerous disease among chickens.
See that your houses are protected
against all drafts and that the damp
ness is entirely excluded. Do not be
afraid to give the birds plenty OF
good fresh air, but do not permit
drafts The open style of poultry
house has been widely adopted and 1t
is a good one, but unless constructed
in the proper manner is sure to result
in the death of many birds.
The market for fresh eggs is rapidly
reaching high-water mark and this
household necessity will, if predictions
count for anything bring even high
er price than that of last winter, Be

FARM :
POULTRY
FREE RANGE FOR CHICKENS
Modern Wire Fencing, Which Has
Neat Appearance, Will Keep All
Fowls Out of the Gardens.

The old method of free range need
not necessarily be changed. The
fowls should not, however, be allowed
to run at will within the garden or
in and about the farm buildings.
Nothing is more aggravating or dis.
gushing than to have the nice veget'
ables or beautiful flowers scratched
up, and the doorsteps, the porch, the
barn floor and the farm machines
fouled with poultry droppings. Sep
arate the poultry also from the other
live stock of the farm.
If the fowls are to be kept near the
farm buildings, provide ample range
inclosed by modern poultry wire fenc-
ing. The latter requires ordinarily
but few posts, is easily put up and
has a very neat appearance when in
position.
Another way of separating the
fowls from the center of farm opera.
tions is to place the henhouses at a
considerable distance from the farm.
stead, in pasture where the fowls
will have absolute range. The latter
plan may entail some extra travel by
the poultryman and there is the risk
In some localities Of depredations by
foxes, hawks or other wild animals
or by thieves. The young, strong
farmer boy may find advantage in
the second or so-called colony plan,"
while the housewife will probably
prefer the fenced Enclosure near the
farmhouse.
Thirdly, the farmer is too careless
in the way he disposes of his poultry
products. He is usually content to
trade his eggs at the nearest grocery
store when by little extra effort he
could gain a select private trade
which would pay far better. His
pure-bred stock of one breed of fowls
In their well-kept house and capacious
grassy yards will be great adver-
tisement for his egg products, and
uniform clean appearance of the eggs
In their attractive package will prove
an additional help in making sales.
Then, too, in disposing of his fowls
the farmer often sells the birds alive
when by carefully dressing them ON
the farm and selling to his customers
on orders he could secure far better
prices

father or others carried him along In
working up cases.
He became known among the men

With grass as basis, graius, fruits,

The grass can be converted into
milk and it's products, into beef, pork
or mutton and returned to the land in
the form of manure for the grain

of buying a farm that did not have at

produce at least two tons of hay per
acre under favorable conditions.
The greatest thrift and profit made
by farmers off their farms in ten OF
the leading agricultural states that
have visited during the past two years
have been made by those who make
dairying and the growing of live stock

The great question: of keeping VI

that is by the growing of more clovers

YELLOW SKIN OF GUERNSEY

prepared to have eggs when they are
wanted. In, order to accomplish this
several things are necessary. First,
keep the hens healthy and vigorous,
feed them properly and keep them
busy. Idle hens never pay for their
board and keep.
Study the peculiarities and prefer
ences of the fowls and endeavor to
give them just what they want. Re-
member you cannot get eggs by failing
to attend to the many details con-
nected with the poultry yard and gen
eral inattention to business. A few
hours each day, morning and night,
will accomplish wonderful results. See
to it that your part in the program

hess of aspect, in one direction or
another, for which he will assuredly
be wholly unprepared. Need it be
said that this of itself is paramount
as an attraction?
Almost unlimited is the list of char
acteristic features for any one OF
which the country is worth visiting;
and each in its way is so important
that priority of mention must be en-
tirely fortuitous. Before descending
from the general to the particular one
may attempt summary of these as
follows, but with the premise that
they might be given in any other
order:
The climate is the most wonderful
in Europe. A polyglot crowd Of
scores of thousands flies annually to
the Riviera from every part in Eu-
rope in order to enjoy the supposed
maximum of sunshine, but often to
be undeceived by weeping skies, and
with the cruel mistral as certain.
ty At Lisbon, on the other hand,
cold weather as understood elsewhere
is literally unknown; the temperature
is not only higher than that Of the
Riviera, but is equable to a degree
that almost defies itself. What this
means in practical effect is illustrat-
ed by the fact that, in March last, !
met an English lady on board ship
who had stayed six weeks at Mont
'Estoril, near Lisbon, and had bathed
in the sea every day in February!
Nor was the season exceptionally
warm.
