WINTER FEED FOR THE HENS
Almost Any Cover Crop VIII Answer,
But There Is Nothing So Easily
Produced as Rye.

Some kind of green food is neces-
sary for the hens in winter, and some
times 1t is little difficult to know
just how to provide 1t. Bluegrass
pasture usually affords green grass al
most all winter, but not all of us can
have a good large bluegrass range.
Most everyone who has hens has a
garden that they can use for provid-
ing green for them. Not only do you
get value from your garden in the
winter when it would be lying idle
otherwise, but you are benefiting the
soil at the same time. Almost any
winter-growing cover crop will an
swer, but there is nothing so easily
produced or that provides green so
quickly as rye. In the spring 1t will
make mass of foliage to be plowed
under to enrich the soil and place it
In a splendid mechanical condition.
When you plow for the rye do not
make the seed bed level, but leave
1t as rough as you can. This will
cause 1t to gather the rain and hold
1t, and in the spring the soil will have
stored good supply against the sum-
mer droughts.

SELECTION OF BEST LAYERS
TrapnestIna Is Best Method Known,
But Not Practicable Where
Large Flocks Are Kept.

While trapnesting is the best meth
cd known of selecting the best layers
and building up a laying strain, 1t is
hardly practicable to use 1t in large
flock, unless a goodly number Of nests
are provided and one person can give
a large amount of time to attending
them and recording results.
1t is better and cheaper to buy male
birds from trapnested stock and to
begin the work of sorting out the
drones by disposing Of every pullet in
the fall that has not begun to lay
within few weeks Of the time the
first ones began laying. The non
laying pullets are easily detected by
their undeveloped combs, and their
separation from the flock is simple
matter at this stage.
Every pullet that Is worth keeping
for the production Of a laying flock
should be laying by the time she is
eight months old at the latest Sort
out the others relentlessly and give
the good ones all the room and feed
through the winter. If it Is possible
to have separate house for them, by
all means do SO, for they cannot do
their best when "bossed" and driven
by older hens during the weather
when they must be shut In.
In the spring keep the best Of these
pullets yafded with your new male
bird that has been guaranteed to be
from a producing mother, and
hatch these eggs early-in March and
April If possible. Give the chicks
plenty of room and good care until
they begin to mature, then 60 through
the culling-out process again, culling
out this time all pullets that are not
laying by the time they are seven
old at the latest. Pay no at !
tention to their breeding or their
other good points. Get rid Of the
drones and give your attention to the
others. Keep this up and you will |
have q tck of layers.

other
They were being kept at loss, and
that loss must have grown heavier the
longer they were kept. The owner
complained that there was nothing in
the chicken business. No wonder!
Dirty houses are the cause of many
hens leaving them in summer and TAX
ing to the other farm buildings. the
trees and even to the fencetops as
roosting places. They rarely go back
to the house when they have once left
it, and this leads directly to losses by
night birds, prowling animals and cas-
ual chicken thieves. 1t Ia better to

MESMERIZED
Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to be-
lieve that coffee is necessity of life.
and the strong hold that the drug,
caffeine, in coffee has on the sys-

A lady writes: II had used coffee

cal wreck.
II was weak and nervous, had sick
headaches, no ambition, and felt tired
of life. My husband was also losing
his health. He was troubled so much
with indigestion that at times he could
eat only few mouthfuls.
Finally we saw Postum advertised
and bought package. I followed d.
rections for making carefully, and
added cream, which turned it to the
loveliest rich-looking and tasting
drink I ever saw served at any table,
and we have used Postum ever since.
