nicely, and, to crown my success, the
greater number of them are pullets.
They are of the White Leghorn va
riety. This kind of chicken natures
very quickly and | think about the
best for all round purposes. They are
good layers and will not bother about
wanting to set before they are three
years old.
They are also good foragers and II
given the wide range will not need
much extra attention until melting
time, when they should, of course,
have bit Of soft food.
Many poultry keepers complain of
a shortage of eggs early in the fall.
This, in most instances, Is due to nee
Ngence during the Noting season.
People do not seem to understand
that when the laying hen begins to
shed her feathers she loses consider
able vitality and grows weak and
languid.
The White Leghorn hen sh - her
feathers earlier than many of the
other varieties and the grain is usual
ly still in the fields where she can get
enough without being fed.
The other breeds, melting later, lose
this advantage and II not given some
extra food to give them proper vital
ity, will produce very few eggs before
the winter chills come on and then
remain idle all winter.
There is Just as much depending on
getting the hen in proper condition
for winter laying as there is cleaning
and otherwise preparing the poultry
house for winter use.
One Of my neighbors said to me
recently: Tell me how you keep
your hens always laying the entire
year,"
I told her I kept them in laying
