Laying hens should get great part
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 hensl
will thus get the necessary exercise
which is essential for good egg pro-
duction. | fhcns arc placed in winter
quarters from free range, they should
be literally supplied with vegetable
feed, which at this season can be easi.
ly obtained from the garden. In fact,
laying hens should have vegetable or
green feeds as much as possible
throughout the winter. This makes it
possible to feed grain heavily to pro-
mote good egg production and yet
keep the birds in the best Of physical
condition.
The problem Of feeding is one of
great Importance, and should be care
fully considered, for on it depends to
a larG, extent not only the general
health Of the birds, but also the econ
Omy '.tich promotes success. 1t is a
subject, however, which should be
stud ed with a large amount Of COM
mon sense, for there arc hard and
applying to every case. The price Of
fast rules which can be laid down as
feeds and the general environment
should be considered in determining
the right ratiors.,
Profit in Winter Eggs
For the largest profit good pro-
portion Of the eggs should be secured
dur!ng the winter. If two extra eggs
per week can be obtained from each
if the product is increased by only one
hen, a good profit will be made. while
egg per week in winter, this one egg
will pay for all the feed the hen eats.
70 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 !ccd and its proportion.
The rutrimcnt in the feccd Of laying
hens serFcS a twOfoI: purpose-to re-
pair waste and furn :sh heat to the
body and to supply the egg -makinb
materials. As only the surplus over
what is needed for the body is avail
able for egg production, the proper
feels should be fed in sufficient guam
titles to induce this productio.
In supplying fec to fowls there
arc thrcec kinds Of constituents which
fixed proportions if the desired results
are to be obtained most economically.
| These constituents are mineral, nit
| ropenous, and carbonaccous, all Of
/ which are contained IN corn, wheat
oats and barley, but not in the right
proportions to give the greatest egg
yield In addition, some animal feed
and green feed should be supplied.

KEEP WELL DEVELOPED
EARLy MATCHED PULLETS
Upon the Selection, Handling, and
Feeding of the Birds Now Depends
in Large Measure, the Success
of the Poultry Raiser in Getting
Eggs Next Winter When
Prices are High

Pullcts that were hatched early last
spring and developed properly during
the summer should begin laying in
October. These are the pulcts that
should be selected now to make up the
flock that IS to produce eggs next win
ter. Whether they continue to lay next
season when eggs arc high in price
depends upo the way they are fed and
the method of changing them from
summer conditions to their winter
quarters. At this season these are the
questions that should receive the at
in@tion of every poultry raiser.
1t IS desirable that pullets be in the
nouscs they are to occupy during the
winter three or four weeks before they
ar" expected to begin laying. How
ever, If pullcts ar" 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 given to make the hens COM
Portable and contCMtcd in their new
home. II this is Gonc, the transfer
viii have only slight effect on their
egg production.
Give Pullets Good Start
Gentle handling and good treatment
will go Il long way toward 0ffSctting
The unfavorable effects Of moving pul-
lets. whether the change to permanent
inter quarters is made before or af .
ter winter laying begins. Rapid and
rough handling should be avoided. 4
little extra time and care in moving
outlets carefully makes a differences
of weeks, and sometimes months, in
egg production. The new home should
be clean, the floor covered with litter,
All nests and feeding and water equip
ment ready for use. "A feed Of grain
should be scattered in the litter and a
drinking vescSl filled with water be
fore the transfer is made.
When hens are to- be changed from
one house to another it is best to move
chem after dark. If only few birds
are to be removed and the distance is
short, they may be carried two at a
Iimc, net by the feet. with their heads
hanging down, but resting in sitting
position on the attendants hand and
wrist. When large number Of birds
are to be transferred a convenient box
or coop may be used. The birds should
not be overcrowdcd and should be
placed in and removed from the box
gently.

In feeding poultry valuable lesson
may be learned from nature. In the

their range, which, with grain, fur
