/ WORK OF HEN is IMPORTANT
Taken In Aggregate Her Business Is
Big Thing to Farmer at End Of
Year-Give Green Feed.

(By JOHN II PAGE. Arkansas Commission
ar OF Agriculture
Do not overlook or neglect the hen.
Her business is a small one, il is true,
but. taken in the aggregate, at the end
of year it is big thing 10 the farm
er.
The best way 10 get eggs is 10 look
after the hens a little. See that they
can get plenty OF fresh water every
day. See that they get some meat
scraps, ground bone and oyster shells,
too, if you can. The most important is
a green feed during the winter, when
there is no green feed. The way TO
make il cheap is TO use oats.
Fill tub or bucket nearly full Of
oats. Pour warm water over them and
let stand all night Next day put lay
er OF oats about an inch deep on an old
burlap sack, laid on top of some
boards. Cover over with another sack
and spread on another layer OF oats
and then another sack and so on until
all the oats are spread. Then wet the
whole pile every day or two with warm
water, and keep in a warR place,
where il will not freeze, until the oats
sprout. When the sprouts get two or
three inches long begin 10 feed them
TO the chickens.

WHEN THE FOWLS WON'T LAY
Complaint Is Heard al All Seasons
Of Year-Ample Supply of Water
Is Essential for Eggs.

Every month or so l hear some
chicken grower complaining that his
ur her hens won't lay, in spite of the
fact that they have plenty of fresh
water and that the ration is so bal
enced that it ought to make the hens
lay in spite of themselves.
This complaint is heard at all sea-
sons of the year and from the farm
hen owner as well as the man who Is
rying to make a success of CONNER
eial poultry growing. 1t is serious,
too; for the steady, daily production
Of eggs is the thing that we depend
npon to make hen keeping pay. In
some flocks it is weIl-nigh chronic
complaint, but the owners seem never
TO be able to discover just why the
hens will lay for month or two at
one season and go on strike for the
rest of the year, says a writer in Farm
Progress.
Any one OF a hundred reasons may
be back of the failure of the hens TO
iay when they should and as they
should. Take the one reason of old
age. for instance A lot of US manage
our birds in such a hap-hazard way
that we are never very sure OF just
how old all our hens are.
Some people, too, will'feed all man
ner OF proper foods and feed them
regularly and neglect proper watering.
AS a hen egg is about two-thirds water
1t is very evident that plenty of water
of the right kind is one of the mater
tals necessary TO produce eggs. Then,
too, we sometimes neglect the ques-
ton of grit, OF charcoal, of egg-laying
materials that have to do with she'll
making and bone strengthening.
In one or two cases that have no.
ticed the cause Of the lack Of egg was
caused by the dampness and clammi-
ness Of the henhouse. Hens neither
can nor will lay in a house that is
damp and depressing as a cellar.
Overcrowding is another reason why
hens fail TO lay. If there are not
enough nesting boxes or il the floor
space or the roosting places seem
overcrowded there will be certain fall
ing of in egg production that may be
very serious. There is, of course, but
one way to remedy this. There must
be more room provided or the flock
win have to be cut down to fit its
quarters without being crowded.
vermin is another reason and a big
one. Lousy hens will not lay. The
vitality is being sucked out OF them
and the energy that ought to go into
eggmaking is being taken to nourish
a few hundred mites per hen. The
Irritation that hens suffer when carry
ing these mites and lice is bad enough
to keep them from laying even IL the
parasites were not drawing out their
vitality at the same time.
