RED CROSS NOTES
Boys and Girls Urged to Save Clothes
for the Belgians

Unless millions Of American boys
and girls dig out clothing they no
longer need and turn it over to the
Red Gro IS during the week beginning
September %, millions of boys and
girls in those parts of Belgium and
France still behind the German line
are going to be cold this coming win
ter. Every American youngster who
wants to help keep these millions q
unfortunate children warm should see
to it that the things he is through
wearing get to the Red Cross colloc-
ton stations that week. He should
sec to it that all the boys and girls
of his acquaintance do their duty in
this respect.
The children in the occupied coun-
tries need about everything in The
list of wearing apparel. Counting
grownups there are 100000 people
in dire need of clothing. Many OF
them have scarcely enough to cover
themselves. The Red Cross hopes to
gather ct least 5000 tons of clothing
that week, an amount equal to that
collected in the clothing drive last
March.

FOWLS IN WINTER QUARTERS
Careful Handling While Moving Will
Prevent Setback in Proper
Production Of Eggs.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The ideal way to manage laying
hens is to have suitable houses at
maturity, with other yards or ranges
suited to the flock while growing, and
have each flock of layers occupy the
same quarters all their lives. If pull
let's must be moved from the quarters
they have occupied during the grow
ing season every effort should be made
to make the change as little disturb
ing to them as possible. The method
OF removal will not be the same for
all cases and conditions. Each poul-
try keeper must consider the situation
as it exists for his stock and adapt his
treatment to the circumstances.
Make the Change EarIy.N
In general it is desirable that pull
let's be in the houses they are to oc-
cupy during the winter three or four
weeks before they are expected to lay !;
but if the pullets are on good range,
and placing them in winter quarters
would deprive them of this and make
rations several months earlier than if
they remain on the range, it may be
better to leave them in the small cOOps
in which they were grown until WIN
ter. Then, If they are moved gently
and carefully, and special attention is

given to making them comfortable and
cOntented in their new home, the
change may have but slight effect on
their egg production.
Whether the change to permanent
winter quarters is made before or
after laying begins, gentle handling
and good treatment will go long way
toward offsetting the unfavorable eff
fects of moving pullets. In reality it
is not the change that is the chief dis
turbing factor but the way the change
is made. Rapid and rough handling
Is bad, yet most persons think it too
much bother to handle hens gently
and carefully. A little extra time and
care in moving pullets makes differ
ence of weeks and sometimes months
in egg production.
To change pulfets from one coop to
another with the minimum disturb
ance to egg production, whether the
pullet Is laying or not, have the new
home ready in every detail. 1T should
be clean, the floor covered with lit
ter, all nests and feeding and water
ing equipment ready for use, with a
feed of scratch grain in the litter and
the drinking vessel filed with water.
Move the pullets after dark. If only
few birds are to be moved and the
distance is short, the best way is to
carry them two by two, one under each
arm, the legs being grasped by the
thumb and fingers and the breast and
body of the bird resting on the hand
and wrist. In this position the bird
feels secure and safe and well treated.
When the number of birds and the dis
lance to be traversed make this meth
cd too labOriOus a convenient box or
coop should be used, the birds being
lifted carefully, one by one, from their
places on the rOOsts to the box. The
birds should not be Overcrowded and
should be taken with the same care
from the box on arrival at the new
location, where they should be placed
OF the floor near the rear of the pen
The first thing the hens will know
/ about their new home will be that as
soon as they can see they find feed
and drink there. With provision made
/ for litter and nests there is no occa-
! sion for an attendant to come into the
pen to do anything that in the least
disturbs the birds. Every visit to them
! the first day or two should be for the
purpose of doing something which
even hens will recognize as done for
/ their welfare. With this treatment
the effects of change are not great. II
is little trouble, but it pays
