contented Flock in Winter Quarters.

given TO making them comfortable and
contcntcd in their new home, the
change may have but slight effect OH
their egg production.
Whether the change to permanent
winter quarters is made before or
after laying begins, gentle handljn"
and good treatment will go long way
toward offSotting the unfaVorable eff
fectS Of moving pullctS. 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, vet most persons think it too
much bother to handle hens gently
and carefully. A little extra time and
care in moving pullets makes a differ
ence of weeks and sometimes months
in egg production.
To change pullets 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 Il
feed of scratch grain in the litter and
the drinking vessel filled with water
Move the pullets after dark. If only
Il 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
