be the best winter layers, starting
their regular production when Ave or
six months old. Hens a year older
win rank next Do not keep hens
more than two winters unless they are
superior for breeding purposes They

producers It Is well to retain a few Of
them for a couple Of years longer.
Nothing new can be said about the
manner Of housing poultry. The build
ings must be dry and clean. we'll venti-
lated and free from drafts. Open front
houses give the best ventilation A
floor can be made dry without great ex-
pense. II 10 good plan to I'll in the
foundation with small stones and
gravel TO insure drainage. This can be
covered with earth or cement Board
floors are favored by some owners.
One Of the first points in cleanliness Is
to have feeding room separate from
the roosting quarters Nests are better
In the feeding room than close 10 the
roosts. 70 have any success worth
while the premises must be kept free
from vermin. This Is not difficult, but
II requires persistent effort and watch
fulness, Anybody who will not give
heed to this injunction should keep out
OF the poultry business.
The principles which govern feeding
are no less important than the others,
but fortunately It Is not necessary to
have great proportion OF the higher
priced grains. One great essential Is
variety. One gets balanced ration
most suitable for egg production by
providing regular supply OF green
food to go with dry material through
the winter months II is easy to pro
vide sprouted oats. cabbage or beets-
1t is also necessary and easy to keep
the chickens supplied with meat scrap
and ground bone Taking ono season
with another. no grains are cheaper
have the oats clipped or ground nSd
the corn cracked
Where certain amount OF green
feed is regularly supplied It Is hardly
necessary to give wet mashes. A dry
mash fed In hoppers Is preferable. At
the same time warm mash Of mois-
tened bran and shorts Is not bad
thing on a cold day. A small supply
Of skimmilk improves the poultry
house diet and Il cheap. Tho stale
bread and crackers obtainable at rec
taurants and bakeries cost little and
to some extent take the place Of
grain. Clean water and grit should be
within reach at all times. Charcoal
and oyster shell arc excellent articles
for poultry. It Is best to have clean
scratching floor for chickens. and ev-
cry morning tho fowls should DO 10

char for wheat, corn, sunAower seeds
