 Let the birds out on the ground on the warm days. Not, however if there is snow, or slush, or a chilling rainstorm. Heavy winds, if the mercury is below 50 degrees. are, bad for laying fowls.
 Be patient and persistent in keeping fresh water in abundant supply. Ice Wa ter will do it's share in discouraging the laying hen.
 In severe weather, see your fowls com fortably roasting every night. Don't miss one. A curtain down, window left open, or the birds left exposed to the bitter frosts one night may mean the finish of several of your best breeders for the season.
 Care for the droppngs Have a place to preserve them in fine coal ashes or in ordinary plaster Better still, possibly, put the mout on the land every week. The droppings from 100 fowls should be worth from s15 to $20 a year.
 If you are beginning the business now, buy the best breeding stock you can af- ford to purchase. There is as much diff ference in hens as in horses or cows. It has taken the people good while, to discover this; but there is nothing more certain today. Begin with quality rather than quantity.

 It is a mistake to feed the hens a heavy wet mash in the morning. A small ration of this character starts them well into the day; but scratch feed should be scattered in the litter in sufficient quantity to keep them interested and quietly exercising. This will keep them warm and out of mis- chief Where the winters are severe and sustained and long continued even more importance should be placed on the physical exercise of the fowl. An inactive fowl is almost certain to be unproductive Activity is the law or life, the highest life The litter should be clean and not too deep. Every ker- mel of the grain should be discovered by the birds. Do not look for fertile eggs from hens that sleep on the roost IA hours of the day and stand stu with full crops the other 70 hours The reproducing bird in springtime is ever Ia astingly at work. If you want fer- tile eggs give your fowls plenty or exercise.
