TO GET EGGS DURING WINTER

number of eggs they lay instead of by
the number of pounds they weigh. Elk.
pCnSivc houses are nOt~neceSSary but
must be comfortable to insure proper
egg laying. A house should accom-.
m0date as many hens as space calls
for without crowding; about two
square feet of floor space per hen is
about right. This keeps up the tenn
pcrature in cold nights ard stu gives
scratching room to insure egg produc-
