Spring Poultry Work.
Pullets For Egg Laying Next Fall

Early.

The poultry raiser on farm or in
city who wishes to produce fall and
winter eggs with a by-product of
spring "fryers" should begin now
to plant for the early setting of
eggs, say poultry specialists Of the
United States Department of Agri-

treme South setting should be
made from the first to the middle
of February; in the central group
of States, from the early part to
the last of February; and in the
northern tier of States, from the
latter part of February to the ear
ly part of April. With settings
timed on this schedule the chicks
will hatch in ample time to allow
their maturity before cold wealth
er. The pullets from these broods
should lay during the late fall or
early winter when eggs are scar
cest.
The setting schedule outlined
also will permit the development
of early spring ''frysrs. The
young chicks will be developed to
the point where they may be turn
ed out on the ground by the time
vegetation is out. and SO may aug.
ment their feed with green stuff.
The smaller breeds of chickens

vantageOus to preserve their own
eggs in the home, purchasing them
when the supply is abundant, and
packing them in a solution of wa

For current use fresh eggs usually
can be kept satisfactorily for two
