WINTER PRODUCERS OF EGGS
Question Of Keeping Old Hens Duritg
Cold Weather Season Should Be
Decided by Conditions.

The hen more than year old is
not winter producer OF eggs. Why
this is so It is doubtful If anyone can
tell. The pullet produces the winter
eggs, but as she gets older. her sea
son of egg production is later. The
question then is whether 1t is profit
able to winter the hen two years or
more old. The answer Is yes, II one
has a good market for eggs in the
spring and summer, even though you
buy the food, and decidedly yes, IL one
grows the food for the fowls. II the
market in the spring and summer Is
not good, then it will not pay to win
ter the old hens, so that, after all, it
is not question OF management. but
one OF being governed by conditions.
In feeding the old hens during the
winter, economy must be practiced,
and the best way of doing this is to
have all these hens by themselves and
feed them light ration.

STOCK
METHOD FOR DOCKING LAMBS
Operation Should BE Performed When
Youngsters Are About Ten Days
Old-Short Tall Desired.

Docking should be done when the
lambs are about ten days old. The
easiest method is to place the lamb
between the operators legs, its rear
end in front of him. The operator lifts
the tail and with heavy knife pushes
the skin half way on the undcrside
of the third vertebra back to its juno
ture with the second. Then with
sharp cut he sewers the tail at this
point. Many shepherds leave the tail
one vertebra longer, but a short tail
is greatly to be desired since IL can
not collect SO much manure.
Very seldom, II the lamb is docked
early, will there be sufficient bleeding
to cause any material harm. II pro-
fuse bleeding does occur. cord should
be tied very tightly around the stump
of the tail Pincers heated to high
temperature. may also be used for this
purpose, and by many are preferred.
The tail is severed by closing them
upon H. The stump is scared or
burned, which completely prevents
bleeding. However, a burn will not
heal so quickly as a clean cut, and in
the former condition suppuration or
the formation of pus underneath the
scab may occur.
or course. there is a greater liabil-
ity OF dangerous infection where the
knife. without cauterization. is used,
since the scared surface tends to pre-
vent the entrance OF bacteria. Infec-
tion. however, can be avoided by the
maintenance OF cleanly and sanitary
surroundings. The pincers can salts
factorily be adopted for docking lambs
several weeks old, when the contin-
gency OF bleeding Is more likely.

To Boil Eaqs Properly.

There are three good ways to boil
an egg that has been cracked. A very
simple one is to add quite a little salt
to the water in which the egg is to be
boiled. This will prevent the white
coming out. II the crack is very large,
wrap the egg in piece of soft paper.
The wet paper adhering to the egg. pre-
vents the egg coming out of the shell.
If there is only tiny crack at one
end. make tiny opening in the other
end with a needle and the desired re-
suit is secured. The latter method may
be used to boil eggs preserved in
water glass. the puncture being made
at both ends.
