PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
Hatch Chicks at Such Time to Allow
Pullets TO Begin Laying in
October and November.

With the average small-farm flock
where hens of general-purpose
breed are kept 1t is most satisfac-
tory to let the hens do the Matching
If the hens are of nonbroody breed,
however, it is necessary to use incuba-
tors or to purchase baby chicks.
Whatever the method of Matching. it
is most important that 1t be done at
the right time of year.
The proper time of Matching varies
with different localities. being earlier
in the South and latest in the extreme
North. The aim should be to hatch
the chicks at such time as will al
low the pullets to reach their full de-
velopment and begin laying in Oeto-
Der or November, poultry specialists
In the United States Department of
Agriculture say, as these earlier ma
turing pullets must be depended upon
very largely for the fall and winter
egg production Late-hatehed chicks
do not mature In time 10 produce fall
and winter eggs. nor do they live or
grow so well during the hot weather.

or weeds away from its base and pro-
feet the trunk from mice and rabbits
with fly screen or closely-woven gal
vanized wire. Thousands of young
annie trees are lost every winter, in
certain sections. from being gnawed
by field mice aud rabbits AS rule,
the mice work 1Sst at the surface of
the ground, espe, tally where grass
and rubbish Is lief, around the roots
of the trees. Rabbi s are more likely
to gnaw the bark from the trunk
above the ground, especially while
there is deep snow and they are
prevented from getting green food on
the ground For this, reason the pro-
tectors should extend at least two
feet above ground and two inches un-
der ground.
Fruit trees that have borne during
the last year should be gone over and
all mummllied fruits removed and
burned. Any suckers or shoots which
have grown up from the roots or on
the trunk OF the trees should be
trimmed OFF. II also is a eo0d plan to
give the trees thoroughs spraying
