(From Weekly Letter, United States De-
partment Of Agriculture)
To obtain good results from a flock
of poultry during the winter all
houses and coops should be put in
good condition, only healthy fowls
placed in the buildings, and good care
given to the poultry. The houses
should be thoroughly cleaned, disin-
fected and made tight for winter If
the house has dirt floor, it is well
to remove three or four inches from
the top and substitute fresh gravel or
sand. If the floor is cement or wood,
remove all litter and dirt and put in
four or five inches of fresh straw or
litter. Be sure that the house is
tight on three sides and that there is
no chance for draft to strike the
hens. If hens roost or are placed in
a draft during the fall and winter,
colds are sure to develop, which may
result in roup and other troubles.
The south side, or front, of the poul-
try house may be left comparatively
open, but should be under control, so
that the openings may be closed
gradually as the weather becomes
cold. Have muslin curtains IN the
front of the house, or leave window
partly open even on the coolest nights
to allow some ventilation in the house.
Fowls will stand considerable cold air
provided 1t is dry, and ventilation will
keep the air thoroughly dry In the
house.
The pullets should be brought in
of the range and put in winter quar-
ters, but before they are mixed with
the older fowls be sure that the hens
are banded or that the web of the
foot is punched in some way so as to
distinguish between the outlets and
the hens. In this way the older stock
may be culled out whenever 1t ap-
pears desirable, and the young hens
kept for further laying. Gull the
chickens which are brought into the
laying house carefully, and fatten and
market all chickens which are small,
poorly developed or in poor condition.
These small, poorly-developed chick
ems are apt to catch cold If put in with
the other poultry, and develop dis
eases which quickly spread through
the flock. Market all surplus cocker
els or older male birds which are not
desired for breeding or not wanted
for later market.
Feed the grain in deep litter on
the floor and make the hens exercise
for all of their grain. The mash may
be fed either wet or dry, and should
be so regulated that the fowls will
get about equal parts of mash and Of
the scratch grains. It is necessary
to give the fowls plenty to eat to get

EnslIaae for Lambs.

Lambs that are being fattened need
some kind of succulent food, and for
this purpose corn-ensilage is good
substitute for roots. The expense OF
growing, and the additional labor re
quired in caring for them, make the
growing of root crops Improbable for
many of the flock owners, especially
when ensilage can be produced more
easily and for less cost per ton.

Fall or winter pruning of grape
vines in the home garden, as well as
on the commercial plantation, may be
done at any time during mild weather
while the vines are in dormant con-
dition. In general, the period from
November to March gives the most
satisfactory results, but the work
should in all cases be done at least a
week or ten days before the vines are
likely to start into growth.
In the colder sections Of the coun-
