Pullets that were matched early last
 spring and developed properly during the summer should begin laying in De- tober These are the bullets that should be selected now to make up the flock
 that is to produce eggs next winter.
 Whether they continue to lay next sea- son depends upon the way they are fed and the method of changing them from summer conditions to their winter quar-
 ters At this season these are the ques
 tions that should receive the attention
 of every poultry raiser.
 It is desirable that bullets be in the
 houses they are to occupy during the
 winter three or four weeks before they
 are expected to begin laying. However,
 if bullets are on good range. they should
 not be deprived of this, and may be
 removed to their winter quarters when
 good range becomes scarce The change
 should then be made gently and carefully.
 and special attention giver to make the
 hens comfortable and contented in their
 new home. If this is done, the trans
 fer will have only slight effect on their egg production.
 GIVE BULLETS GOOD START Gentle handling and good treatment will go a long way toward offsetting the unfavorable effects of moving pull lets, whether the change to permanen, winter quarters is made before or after winter laying begins. Rapid and rough
 handling should be avoided. A little extra time and care in moving bullets carefully makes a difference of weeks and sometimes months, in egg proddc- ton. The new home should be clean, the floor covered with litter, all nests and feeding and water equipment ready | for use feed of grain should be scat tered in the litter and drinking vessel filled with water before the transfer is made.
 | When hens are to be changed rom one house to another it is best to move them after dark. If only few birds are to be removed and the distance is short, they may be carried two at time. not by the feet, with their heads hanging down. but resting in sitting | position on the attendants hand ana l wrist When large number of blrds are to be transferred a convenient box l or coop may be used. The birds should
 not be overcrowded and should be placed in and removed from the box gently. MAKE THEM SCRATCH 1 Laying hens should get a great pat | of their feed by foraging. When housed in winter quarters the best substitute !! for this is to make them scratch for the
 grain in clean litter scattered about the floor. The hens will thus get the neces- sary exercise which is essential for good | egg production. If hens are placed Tn
 winter quarters from free range, they should be literally supplied with vege-
 table feed, which at this season can be easily obtained from the garden. In fact, 1 laying hens should have vegetable or green feeds as much as possible through
 out the winter. This makes it possible | to feed grain heavily to promote good l vat "a hirdS | in the best of physical condition.
 i The problem of feeding is one of great importance. and should be carefully con sidered. for on it depends to large ex-
 tent not only the general health of the birds, but also the economy which pro-

Sheep Raisers Organize

More than 30 county sheep breed ers' associations have been organized by the sheep specialist of the United States department of agriculture in Texas. The object in organizing these associations and the purpose of the members is to raise more and, better sheep as wartime emergency in answer to the governments call for increased production of wool and nut ton. A poster with the slogan More sheep-better sheep which is being widely distributed by the Texas sheep specialists, is reported as being an jim portant factor in stimulating interest among sheep raisers

DEATH RATE IN HOGS

In the year ending March, 1918. 5000 GOO hogs died of disease in the United States as compared with 100000 in 1914. go per cent of the deaths being due to hog cholera. The losses in 1914 were equivalent to the normal consumption of pork and pork products by the entire popu'ation of the United states for S7 days. The department of agriculture keeps 160 trained veterinarians working n 33 states in cooperation with agrl- cultural colleges, state authorities and local veterinarians. to control hos cholera.

Raise More on Less Land

Intensive farming does not necessaril; mean growing special crops and garden truck. In ordinary farming it means doubling your crop on the same acreaSs or cutting your farm in two, and growing as much as you did before. Too often farmer is measured by the number ot acres he epetates while his actual farm ing ability IS shown by the quantity and quality of farm products per acre. With the right kind of management, 1t is possible in frany localities to make SO acres produce more crops and more profit than the average quarter section.

It is very difficult to compare foods on the basis of mineral matter they con tain, but all physiologists agree that milk is very valuable from this stand- point It is food prepared by nature especially for the growth and develop ment of the young. A quart of milk a day is a good allowance for growing child.

FARMING A BUSINESS

As one farmer so aptly expressed it. T tried a few years ago to keep an accurate account of my business, but was not able to continue it throughout the year owing to the rush Of farm work Since this farm management demonstration work has been started by the county agent know that these records are of value and just what an account should include to make them of value. I find 1t easy now to save my checks for money paid out and to list the things I have received money for. Then. at the end of the year know if my business has been profit able. and if not why 1t was not so.''

DON'T FEED POOR BULLETS

, In supplying feed to fowls there are
 three kinds of constituents which
 should be present in certain fairly well
 fixed proportions if the desired results are to be obtained most economically.
 These constituents are mineral, nitrog-
 enous, and carbonaceous. all of which |are contained in corn, heat oats, and
 barley, but not in the right proportions to give the greatest egg yield. In addi- tion, some animal feed and green feed should be supplied.
 Not all of the early matched bullets
 will make good winter layers. An
 early matched bullet that is undersze tat this season will never make good hen. A late matched bullet that is we'll
 grown and developed at the time of selecting the birds which are to make up the winter laying flock gives bet
 ter promise than the poorly developed, early matched bullet If proper care is
 given it should begin laying In mid
 winter. Don't waste feed on any e. cept the promising bullets, They should have good care and good feed at all stages, It is impossible to grow bullets
 carelessly and on short rations until
 they reach the age when they should
 be full grown and mature. and then bring them forward quickly by short course of good management. The pull let that is worth keeping as layer is l, worth good care and full rations all the time. One that is not considered worth keeping should be eaten or mar keted. Undersized birds will not pay for the feed they eat during winter.
 LESSON FROM NATURE
 In feeding poultry a valuable lesson
 may be learned from nature. In the spring the production of eggs on the farm is an easy matter. Fowls which are at liberty to roam find an abIn- dance of green and animal feed on their range which, with grain. fur nishes a perfect ration for laying hens l In addition to this, they get plenty of exercise and fresh air. So far as lies l within his power, then, the feeder should aim to make the conditions dur ling other seasons springlike.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-09-19

notes success. It is a subject, however which should be studied with large amount of common sense, for there are no hard and fast rules which can be laid down as applying to every case. The price of feeds and the general environ ment should be considered in determining the right rations.
 PROFIT IN WINTER EGGS
 For the largest profit a good propor- tion of the eggs should be secured dur ing the winter. If two extra eggs per week can be obtained from each hen. a good profit will bt made while if the product is increased by only one egg per week in winter, this one egg will pay Sfor all the feed the hen eat> To obtain this greater production not only should the fowls be young and of a good laying breed. but the feeder should have full knowledge of the proper feed and it's
 The nutriment in the feed of laying hens serves a twofold purpose-to re- pair waste and furnish heat to the body and to supply the egg-making mate rials. As only the surplus over wheat is needed for the body is available for egg production, the proper feeds should be fed in sufficient quantities to induce
