POULTRY HOUSES.
Floors. Walls and Ceiling Should Be
 ln Good Shape Al the Time.

Poultry Keepers expect at this sea son of the year to have considerably decreased egg production but this can be prevented in a marked degree if a little extra pains are taken in the care of tl7e stock Poultry house sanitation is an important factor in egg produc- ton during the summer months and no poultry keeper can afford to neglect his buildings and equipment because Fermin and disease thrive during warm moist weather Hens that have been laying heavily during the spring months are in a condition to become easily infested and lose their health and vitality thereby decreasing the egg production.
 Clean houses are essential the year round, but particularly during the summer If the poultry house has not already been thoroughly cleaned, this work should be done immediately and where there are board or concrete floors they should be cleaned. swept and thoroughly disinfected. Where there are dirt floors the dirt should De cleaned out until all the litter and dlth accumulated for months has been entirely removed.

Month of Decrease in produc r ze s4< Ff,s-- T,-,,.fs, a s--

It can be seen that fresh cows de- crease about 3 per cent eaesa two months for six months, and later the oecline is much more rapid. This is because the stimulating factor is be- coming weaker and the milk cannot be fully maintained even with a greatly increased cost of feed except with a very few extremely persistent COWS
 But the above figures represent all conditions. They do not single out a definite time of year. At the Iowa station 1t was found that for every 100 pounds Of milk delivered by sixty far mers on June l, 46 pounds were brought in August. The station herd at the same tsIne was producing 6S pounds for each 100 on June 1. No fresh cows had been added to ilae sta ticn herd whil in all likelihood some Of the other herds had been thus as- sisted
 The factors concerned here
 Excessive heat and dryness are certainly unfavorable, especially where COWS travel long distances to pasture CT water
 g Flies are Extremely annoying. al though this alone rkobably has only a small influence.
 3. Pastures are short dry. and less
 In short, it is matter of un- favorable conditions for t1le consump- ton of nutrients sufficient to maintain normal flow
 A large part of the day must be spent protected from the sun. Even when grazing in the cooler periods of the day much time is lost and energy dissipated in knocking flies Further the grass is not so abundant nor so tempting.
 The solution is to provide addition al feed, the best of which is corn sil- age in the summer silo The next best is the harvesting of some green and placed in the winter silo about June. A plan just as desirable as either, but more tedious, is cutting of green crops. and drawing them from the fields daily. Some plant to sup ply sufficient feed is essential in main taining producticn<a and wise in dairy mana cement

EGG PRODUCTION
 CONTINUES TO INCREASE Every One of Five Best Pens at storrs
 Were White Leghorns.


 In the thirty fourth week Of the laying contest at Storrs the hens pro duced 4152 eggs or 175 more than for the corresponding week last year. Esv- cry one of the five best pens were White Leghorns: not only this but P. G. Platts binds from Wallingford, Pa. that won first place laid s4 eggs thus equalling the record of the s0regons'' In the thirty second week and making the best weekly score for any Iseghorn pen during the past three years. w.. E. Atkinson's pen from VVa1lingford, Conn. were second with 58 eggs Oak crest Farms pen from Southampton. Pa. were third with 57 eggs while A. E. HaH Wallingford. Conn. tied with Frank R. Hancock, Jacksonville, Vt for fourth place each having score of 55 eggs.
 There is, of course, a point beyond which hens cannot go in the matter of laying eggs. H now looks as if the zenith of production has probably been reached- Large numbers of the reav- fer breed9 have been broody and this always means at least a temporary in terruption in the egg yield FlIther- more some individuals that have per haps never been over enthusiastic about laying will no doubt soon be shedding taeir feathers and the pro- cess of acquiring new coat neatly al- ways means no eggs. Thus the poul- fFymanss problem is not how to get more eggs Hlis week than he did last, but rather to recognize the fact that hens will yield less eggs from this time on to the end of the laying seq son. Good care and management dur ing the summer means that the falling off in yield will take place much more gradually especially in the case @of the lighter breeds
