Hens Will Lay In Winter
If Properly Handled

Why don't hens lay at this time Of
the year?
They do if their owner is on to his
job.
It is about as natural for hen to
Lay in the fall and winter as it is for
roses to bloom at the same season.
But the expert poultryman nowadays
with his modern methods of breeding.
Of feeding, of housing and Of handling
has his hens to lay 200 or more eggs
per year and to lay a goodly number
of these in the winter. says the Kan
sas Farmer.
Can an ordinary farmer or small
poultry keeper get good winter yield
Of eggs?
he can if he will have a properly
built house, not meaning an expensive
one, but house that poultry use and
live in and can't be kept out Of.
He can If he will feed the modern
way or feed all grain in litter; feed
beef scraps, fish scraps or milk-ani-
NAL protein-heavily; feed dry mashes
and perhaps wet mashes
Feed plenty OF grit and oyster shells.
The digestive apparatus of a chicken
demands grits. The feeding is the big
element in governing the egg yield.

 The corporal in charge of the post reported that he challenged the Mex jeans, that they continued to advance without replying, and that after they were we'll over the line they fired a shot at him. He then ordered his squad to fire, retreating to a point 150 yards north of the line to prevent being fanked. The Mexicans re- treated.
 When reserve companies of infantry were rushed to the line the Mexican border guard opposite withdrew into the Mexican town. About 20 shots were fired by the United States troops.
 A Mexican officer then rode up to the custom-house and said his men had been fired on while they were on their side. Maj William Brooke. Of, ficer of the guard, said every sentry was posted well back Of the line. NO casualties were reported by the Mex, jeans.

 Gen. Orsa Garay, Mexican command CT, reached the line soon after the shooting and asked for conference. He said his men reported they had been fired on while we'll on their side of the boundary.
 Maj. Brooke informed him that he had positive information that this was not the case. The commandant then said he would punish any men wno had violated orders not to cross to American soil
 It developed that the sentry line had been extended westward because of a report that Mexicans would attempt a raid to drive off large number of horses.
