EARLY PUllET IS IMPORTANT
Attention Must Be Given Young Hen
and Her Development II Winter
Eggs Are Desired.

After all is said and done, by far
the most important single factor in
winter egg production is the early
hatched, well-developed pullet.
IL we are anxious TO get winter
eggs it is all-important that we give
attention TO the early-hatched pullet
and her development
II will be we'll TO sort out the prom.
ising early puliets and place them on
free range by themselves and give
them extra care and attention. A good
colony coop moved out TO the edge OF
a corn field makes quarters for them,
and IL an abundance and a good vari-
ETY. of feeds is constantly before them.
with pure water at hand, they will
grow much more rapidly than If run
ming with the balance OF the flock.
Especially is this' true Il they are
otherwise permitted to be pestered
by young cockerels or other males.
The early pullet will surely pay we'll
for extra care and attention on any
farm.

USE CRATES FOR FATTENING
First Essential Is to Confine Fowls So
That They Will Get as Little
Exercise as Possible.

The first essential in fattening
fowls of any kind is to keep them con.
fined so that they can get as little
exercise as possible. For this purpose
crates or regular fattening pens are
best. These pens should be so ar.
ranged that they can be easily cleaned.
In many cases the bottom is left slat
ted so that the soft droppings caused
by the fattening ration will drop
through and thus not soil the feet and
feathers.
The following method OF fattening.
in which milk is used. will give salts
factory results: A mash consisting of
four parts OF cornmeal, two parts
wheat middlings and one part beef
scraps should be wetted with skim
milk until it is thin enough to run
from a spoon, should be fed to the
chickens in troughs. They should be
allowed to eat as much of this mash
as they will. In addition to this they
should be given all the water they
will drink. and a plentiful supply of
green food. This method produces a
very fine, soft, sweet meat.
In commercial milk-fattening plants
buttermilk is used in combination with
ground feed similar to the above
method, but the farmer will generally
find it more convenient to use skim
milk.
In following this method OF fatten-
ing. on account OF the goft mash
foods liability to contamination, care
should be taken to keep everything
clean and sanitary. The troughs and
dishes should be scalded after each
feeding, and the pens should also be
kept well cleaned,

Many alfalfa raisers are In the habit

the least valuable feature OF the bar

field gets during the summer. plus tho
packing OF the soil by the mower, tho
horses hoofs. and the hay making and

lots OF nitrogen. Although the al.

the barley naturally cannot do as well
as if the land were really plowed In
stead OF scratched. a good stand can
be secured.
II Is possible TO either pasture tho

best. In the second light seeding so

In either case the land is producing

the mixture OF alfalfa and foxtail.

CARING FOR MOLTING HENS
Process Should Not Be Injurious to
Fowls Properly Fed and Sheltered
Long Rest Is Needed.

II is to be expected that most of
the hens will commence molting dur
ing the early part of September. The
loss 70 the old feathers and the grow
ing of new crop will make some
thing of drain upon the vital forces.
but, as it is a purely natural process,
1t should not be permanently injuri-
Gus to fowls that are properly fed and
sufficiently protecteI from storms and
changes Of temperature. BY alternat.
ing light and heavy feeding and add
ing condiments 70 the food and tonics
to the drinking water. IL is possible
TO hasten the molt There are excep-
tional cases in which 1t is well TO take
this course, but, as a rule. it is not
advisable.
While they are changing one coat
for another IL is not natural for hens
to lay many eggs. and IL is a great
mistake TO attempt TO force them to
lay by giving stimulating foods. They
need this period OF from ten TO four
teen weeks for rest and for the growth
OF new feathers. During this time
they shsuld have coed care. with
plenty OF pure water and clean grit.
Animal food OF some kind should be
given. with a liberal grain ration to-
gether with a small quantity OF lin
seed meal. and Il will be OF marked
advantage TO add a pint Of sunaower
seeds per day for each dozen hens.

Although not fully developed and
matured until the twelfth or fifteenth
month, a chick reaches nearly full
size in six to eight months. Birds are
the most active. maintain the highest
bodily temperature. and perform the
most rapid digestion of food of all the
domestic animals. Their bodily proc
esses are rapid also. and it follows
that results of wrong care or feeding
are more quickly disastrous, and the
disaster is more likely to be lasting
than with any other animals.
One may give the most painstaking
and skillful care to flock of brooder
chicks during the first three weeks of
their lives and then by three hours

Do you know that fertile eggs be-
come unfit for human food almost as
quickly as milk when subjected to the
same temperature? 1t is a mistaken
idea that eggs have to be put in an
incubator before the germ starts to
grow. The fact is that eggs begin
to incubate just as soon as they are
subjected to a temperature Of 80, or
above, whether this be behind the
