practice. 1t is equally bad for pull
let's. 1t tends to check their develop

be placed In the house or pen they
are to occupy for the winter.

on the oirts and gorging themselves

Ing cannot overcome this blood drain

weaken the growing stock and pre-
vent development.
II possible, puIletS should be kept
in Il house and yard by themselves.
The house should have a roosting place,
scratching pan. dust bath and nesting
places. Keep the pullets of tail grass
on wet or stormy days. Use every
prccaution to keep them from getting
bowel trouble or colds. Colds ia the
fall easily develop into roup a dis
ease which must be avoided. 1t may
not prove fatal. but 1t Will surely
delay laying.
Feeding for Fall and Winter Eggs.
II fowls have no means Of exercising
their scratching habits, they soon lose
their visor. To keep fowls busy, espe-
cially as the cold days approach, a
scratching pen becomes a necessity 1t
should be provided with two or three
inches OF clean litter. into which. the
grain is thrown. The birds should be
encouraged to work for all their grain
feed.
For litter 4 good combination is dried
leaves. hay and straw in about equal
proportion. Any coarse material, how
ever will serve equally we'll. Some
poultrymen recommend dry sand. If
litter is used. the scratching pen should
be cleaned once a week. The fine ma
tertal may be used under the perches.

Green food of some kind should be

Ford gift Is particularly valuable. De-
spite the large number OF ambulances
in service on the Western front. mrnv
more are needed. Reports that no more
machines were being accepted for this
theater Of war are without foundation.
In addition. ambulances may be sent
as part of Red Cross aid to be OK
