the most troublesome tasks of poultry
keeping.
Many poultry keepers defer giving
water until late in the morning during
cold weather. Whether the water is
liquid or frozen Gce or SNOWY is i'm
material, provided the chickens can get
it. Supplying them with dry or slight
~ moistened grain when they lack wa
ter causes Indigestion and is generally
injurious to the birds and wasteful Of
the feed given them.
Wholesome Feed.
Shortage and high price of good
poultry feed has led to a tendency to
attempt to economic by using low
priced by-products and very inferior
grades of the common grains. Almost
invariably it is a mistake to use such
to the exclusion of better feeds. The
safe and sure way is to start the hens
laying by feeding good quality feeds,
and then partially substitute the cheap
err ones, regulating the amounts used
by the readiness Of the hens to eat
the changed mixture and by the con-
tinuance Of good condition and produc-
ton. This applies to all classes Of
feeds-grains, vegetables and animal
feeds. Sufficient supplies of the two
last named determine the wholesome
ness of the diet as whole. A formula
for combining the three, for ordinary
winter weather, is to reduce the meat
and increase the vegetables in warm
weather, and reduce the vegetables and
increase the meat in extreme cold
weather.
Liberal Rations.
Only Well-fed hens can lay as they
should. The best results are obtained
when there is not more than three
hours between feeds. Such a system
demands too much of the poultry keep
er. Economy of his time and energy
without waste of feeds is secured when
the feed is accessible to hens at all
times under conditions that prevent
waste. Dry feeding, in hoppers, of at
least half of the ground grains given,
and the feeding of whole and cracked
grains in litter accomplish this.
CongeniaI Exercise.
Scratching for feed is the natural
and favorite exercise of hens. They
are not, however, inclined to scratch
much when no feed rewards their eff
forts. Feeding the whole and cracked
grain in litter deep enough to conceal
it furnishes just the right condition to
stimulate exercise by liberal feeding
without waste and for congenial exer-
else that keeps hens fit without carry
ing exercise SO far that it uses energy
from feed that ought to be producing
eggs.

Learn 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 abun-
dance of green and animal feed on
tPeir range, which, with grain, fur
nishes perfect ration for laying hens.
In addition to this they get plenty Of
exercise and fresh air. SO far as Hes
within his power, then, the feeder
should aim to make the conditions dur
ing other seasons springlike.

MARK FOR EACH HEN

Ten eggs a month-6O during
the next six months-should be
the mark set by poultry keepers
at this season for each hen in
their flocks. Hens that cannot
produce that standard should
not be kept. Poultry keepers
who cannot reach it with or
binary good stock should quit
and stop using valuable feed and
time to little purpose. But no
one should admit that he cannot
reach it until he is sure that he
has failed after doing his part
lntelligently and Conscientious
~, and no one who faithfully
follows the instructions in this
article will fail to reach the
very moderate standard of pro-
duction demanded.

Either we prove the savior
or freedom or we fall beneath the heel

And we be numbered with the unstable

Pay heed We slackers, aliens who presume
Upon the safety OF these peaceful shores
Where racks no whip and no gun roars,
