Non-Laying Hens Not Worth
What They Eat During
the Cold Months.
SELL AFTER 1T SHOWS
Do Not Wait for Holidays;
Birds Will Not Repay
for Keeping.

On every farm in the state there are
n lot OF old hens that will not lay this
winter. With eggs at their present
prices these hens would be a gold mine
II they but produced but they do not
nor will they until April suns bring out
the grass. Feed is high. higher than
ever before in history, and If allowed to
cat all winter these hens will cost more
than ever they can repay. What about
1t. are you going TO keep them through
the year? There is little sense in hold
Ing over these hens, especially if there
are any pullets which give promise Of
laying. Right now the hens are not
costing much, for they earn the most OF
their living gathering wasted grain and
stray insects. hut once the snow comes
Nhe burden OF their keep will all fall
upon the granary. Better it is to take
n little bit lower price for them now
than to try and carry them until spring.

hes. time to sell them. when they have
cheap meat on their bones and nave
not yet cost great deal for their keep.
OF course, If some of them arc laying
it is a different matter, but few old
hens are producing just now.

reaches a sharp bend in the oviduct
called the isthmus. Here the liquids
making up the egg are encased in Two
skins known as shell membranes. The
outer skin lies close against the inside
OF the shell, while the inner skin clings
to the albumen. The air cell lies he
tween the two skins, and ii Is this air
that the chick first inhales when he is
ready to pip the shell and emerge from
his confinement. The secretion Of the
shell membranes In the isthmus re-
quires about three hours.
The soft -shclled" egg now passes
out of the oviduct into the third organ
OF reproduction known MS the uterus
It's function is to sccrete three layers of
liquid lime which harden ana form the
shell OF the egg. The inner layer con-
slsts OF very small particles of lime
separated by mipute air spaces. welded
together: the second layer is heavier
and of Il spOnEy nature, while the out
side Is thin, smooth shell of lime
containing n gelatinous substance. The
latter prevents undue evaporation of
the contents of the egg. but il is re-
moved by moisture or age
The egg remains in the uterus from
twelve to twenty-four hours. The
greater portion of this time IS required
to set and harden the shell. The hen
then goes on the nest.
Peculiarities in EGGS.
Almost everyone has seen a double
yolked egg. Two yolks We're liberated
from their sacs mt almost the same
time. They entered the oviduct nearly
simultaneously, and the coatings of al
bumen, membranes and shell were in
corporated over both yolks in place of
one.
Sometimes, at the close of the lay
ing period an egg is found that con-
tains nothing but albumen. 1t is quite
small. In this case the ovary had fin
ished its work for the time being; the

they get any larger. II Is so much
easier to halter break these colts now
before they get, SO large as to become

now will teach the colt to lead ana the
lessons are never forgotten. They

Is ready to break the colts to work and
is probably in a hurry for them. An
older horse is harder to teach to fol-
low the halter than n younger one, for
not only does he learn less readily, but
also he is larger and far more difficult
to handle. So break the colts to the
halter this fall and get them over their
natural fear of being handled. With

cuse for vicious horses. They should
be tame and quiet and they will II they

and grass besides. the colt fares but
poorly if forced to pick it's own living
from snow covered pastures. Feed the
colt. That is what puts the size on it,
the feed that it receives before 1t is

that Il colt will ultimately attain twice

Grain is so high in price that few
farmers will waste it this year, but it
