to keep the droppings in a heap. To

ers in Winter II Maximum Num-
Der of Eggs Is Wanted.

Laying hens must have their morn
ing dust bath If they are to lay the
maximum number of eggs through the
winter. 1t is a necessary luxury for
them. BY it's use they are enabled to
rid themselves OF mites and to remove
all scales and dirt from the skin. Lice
and mites do their greatest injury to
the fowls at night, while on the roost.
Instinctively they look for place to
dust in the morning. Do not force the
hens to dust in the droppings or feed
litter. During the summer they usually
find their own busting place such as
the road or in the shade of trees and
Ishrubbery, but in winter 1t must be
provided for them. Nail an old grocery
box in one corner of the house. Ele-
vate 1t above the floor so that it will
mot become filled with straw or litter
and put in six or eight inches of dust
ing material. A little slaked lime
added to it would not hurt anything.
