How Citrus croos w.re Saved.

With the temperature lowering
around 80 degrees. as it was for two
or three weeks in the California citrus
fruit district during The winter, the
motorcycle frost patrols reduced the
damage OF former years TO wonder

on u large number of temperature sta

and the moment the mercury dropped

then lighted and Jack Frost kept

To get good results from a flock Of
poultry during the winter all houses
and coops should be In good cOndi-
ton, only healthy fowls placed in
these buildings, and good care given
to the poultry. AS 1t takes about two
weeks for hens or pullets to settle
down to their new quarters they
should be moved early. The moving
should be done before they begin to
lay, for shift after egg production
begins may set them back for a month
to six weeks. Moving pullets around
from one house to another is the best
means Of holding back egg production
II they are developing too fast. The
United States Department of Agricul-
ture points out tnat it is highly de-
sirable to bring the pullets in from
the range before they begin to lay.
Prepare Houses for the Winter.
The houses should be thoroughly
cleaned, disinfected, and made tight
for the winter. 1t is much easier to
do this work while they are empty
than after they are filed with fowls.

to remove the top or A inches and
