matings, but we can begin rigid
culling of the young stock. The
time to select your layers should
begin the day on which the chicks
are Matched. Weaknesses and dis
ability make their presence known
early in life. Given a flock of
layers in which good health pre-
walls, the next thing to do is to
keep them in this condition. A
selected bird in good health, just
can't help but lay. After putting
your selected pullets into their
winter quarters, and there comes a
change in the weather, look out
for trouble. Take a lantern and
go through your houses, listen,
and if you hear any sneezing
among the birds, just start then
and there on campaign of dis
ease prevention. Stop these colds
before they get started. l know Of
no better treatment than the fol-
lowing: Close your house tight,
doors and windows. Then place
in bucket any good vaporizer,
fill the tank with any good coal
tar disinfectant, then light the
lamp under the tank and allow to
burn all night. Usually, by CIV
ing this treatment, two successive
nights will rid your house of
colds. Cultivate and lime the
runs and change the litter often.
Remember that grain thrown in
filthy litter may be the medium of
distributing germs throughout the
flock. Musty feed is dangerous.
1t invites ptomaine poison. Now,
many farmers neglect to provide
the materials the hen needs in the
production of eggs, allowing the
fowls to exhaust their energies
and weaken their bodily powers in
an effort to gather what their ap-
petites call for, or draw from the
stored-up energy of the body, in
an effort to lay eggs. Egg pro-
duction is reproductive process.
The strength and power to do ma
lures work must come from the
food supply. Hens will lay no
more eggs than they can obtain the
material to produce. If the car
Donate of lime is limited, so will
the number of eggs be limited be-
cause of the lack of shell material.
Every one knows that PHOSPHORUS
is essential to all the vital pro-
cesses of nature, yet how many
farmers furnish bone or other
phosphorus carrying materials to
the hens? Much of the diseases
among fowls can be traced to the
weakened condition of the fowls
body, due to improper or incorrect
and insufficient food. SO from
the foregoing, you will see that it
is absolutely necessary to have
healthy chickens to get winter
eggs.
