seen Tuesday evening along Stanley
Brook back of Frank Thompson's and
Geo. Richards houses. Will Hutchins
was the first to see him and report to
the people in that vicinity who very
soon were enjoying the rare sight, some
with field glass which brought the
great shaggy animal with wide spread
ing antlers very close to view. After
offering a good exhibition for some
time the moose leisurely passed over
the brook into the adjoining woods.
Next morning he was again near W. D.
French's cottage on Vose Mountain.

each person is limited to one bushel a

Poultry Division.

If there is any one question which
is asked more than any other it is
''Why don't my hens lay?" and it is my
intention to tell you some of the rea-
sons why they don't.
In the first place, let us consider the
breeding Of the birds. There are many
varieties and breeds all of which have
good producing strains and poor
producing strains. Now if these
birds have come from strain which
has been bred more for fancy pur-
poses. for feathers. than for utility pur-
poses. or the production of eggs. it
stands to reason that all the attention
was given to the fancy and none, or
practically none, to the other. And
every one knows that to get a good
producing strain. we must give consid-
cradle time and thought to the selec-
ton Of breeders.
Now let US consider the time Of
Matching. If the birds were Matched
out late, say from the last of June on,
unless they had the very best of care,
they would not begin to lay before cold
weather set in. You might have a. flock
,of pullets which had developed well and
which looked fine, but they probably
would not begin to lay in cold weather.
Pullets, to lay we'll during the winter,
should begin to lay by the early part
lof November, anyway, in order to be
well under way before real cold wealth
Ter begins.
Feeding is the next important factor
10 be considered. Regardless of the
breeding of the parent stock, regardless
of the time Of Matching. if the stock
hasn't been well fed and cared for it
can not lay. If the chicks have not
been supplied with sufficient green
Hood, a variety Of foods, bone forming
material, good clean water in clean
containers, clean. hard grain. and plen-
ty of shade then they will have been
neglected and the results will be
noticed in the egg production.
Housing is another factor which
causes trouble. II the poultry house
b cold, or damp. or nasty. or dark, or
kdrafty. the hens cannot lay as they
should. If the hens are crowded, they
cannot have sufficient room for exer-
else The stronger birds will crowd
tine weaker ones from the food, eggs
are liable to broken. II the nests are
provided. andzhe habit Of egg eating

contracted which, when once estab-
| lished, is hard to break. They can not
get sufficient fresh air, the air becomes
foul. the spread of disease is more rap
i'd, and the general health of the fowl is
affected. 1t is felt first in the egg pro-
duction.
| Since the foregoing are some of the
reasons why hens do not lay, perhaps
it would be well to point out some Of
the reasons why hens do lay.
| First let US consider the breeding.
| If person has, by constant selection of
his stock, obtained a strain Of fowls
which are good producers, one ought
to get a cockerel from that person to
use with his own stock. From his own
stock, select those pullets and band
these which begin to lay in October.
or early in November, and then breed
them. If you wish to breed from yearl-
ing hens breed only from those which
mott late, even though they lay but few
eggs the winter that you select them.
Select a cockerel which is a good Wig
orous, healthy bird, one that has never
been sick. one which crows loud and
often and a fighter
Feeding is next From the very first
the chick wants to be kept growing
There must not be any period in the
life when it was stunted. The first feed
should be given at 36-4S hours old and
should be sour milk. Feed the chick a
variety Of good sound grains, give it
plenty of range with some shade, plen-
ty Of fresh water and dry. clean quart
ers and it will grow well. Give it grit.
shell, ground bone and some meat
scraps.
The brooding of the chick, especially
when small, is a problem For US in
this climate, the open front house of
the Aubry type is very good The coal
burning brooder is probably the best
method yet devised for the brooding of
the chick. 1t gives the heat to the
chicks on their backs, there is no ten
dency to crowd toward the center,
there is constant supply of fresh air
under the hover, which is so essential.
and there are different graduations of
heat to which the chick can adapt him
self. The house should be kept scrup-
ulously clean and free from lice, as
cleanliness is essential to the produce
ton of eggs.
The poultry should be housed early
in the fall. in September. SO as to get
them used to their winter quarters. and
also to teach them to scratch for their
food, which exercise Is a benefit in
