ishing feed they will eat till they are

Of long experience gives this method
Of controlling the melting of hens:
AS soon as the hens are through lay
ing turn them on alfalfa and feed
them dry bran in addition. Under
this treatment they get thin. Then
feed them a mixed ration of grains
and meat, giving a light feed in the
morning and all they will eat at noon
and night. Under this treatment they
will finish melting quickly, get new
feathers and begin laying i'll Septem-
Der. By October they are in full
laying condition and make a profit
through the fall and winter. OF course
every one has not an alfalfa field
whereOn to turn his chickens, but the
idea is to give them d laxative food
to induce them to start 10 mott. Any
kind Of green feed would help to do
this. A little linseed meal In the bran
mash would help toward the same re-
suit
Fowls on full feed are net so apt to
shed their feathers so freely as those
that are underfed. We do not believe
in starving them, but to give them a
light diet instead of the usual grain
ration. Then. after they have shed
their feathers, you can feed them all
they will eat of the best food you can
supply them.

most of them are unmarried.

money will have to be determined by
