pullets and hens, do not lay unless
properly housed and fed the foods
that are necessary to make eggs,
declares r. N. Crane, University of
Tennessee specialist.
Stop up the cracks on the north,
west and east sides of your poultry
house. Put some windows in the
south SIDE and an opening for fresh
air and ventilation. See that The
floor is dry. Then put or 10 inch

every morning with small grains; in
the evening feed all the corn the
hens will eat. preferably on the cob,
which should be cut into short
pieces.
Keep before the hens all the time
an open hopper filled with two parts
corn meal, one part wheat bran. one
part beef scraps, one half alfalfa
meal, little charcoal, oyster shell
and grit mixed with the above. One
half pound of table salt in every 100
pounds of the mixture will help
greatly.
Green feed, as cabbage leaves or
sprouted oats. at noon. with the fore
going win mean eggs when eggs are
high.
The American hen above all else
stands for thrift. Make her produce
eggs by proper housing and feeding,
then invest some Of the proceeds in
thrift stamps.
The weather has frightened up
and the thing to do is to get the
hens started to laying before the

You cannot get eggs with an old
