of new coat Of feathers makes such
a demand upon the body that it Is out
of the question for egg production to
continue in any large degree
The growth of feathers, like all
other growth, calls for plentiful sup
ply Of protein in the ration. Most poul-
try raisers, however, make no effort to
feed a special ration at melting time,
but continue to give the laying ration
which the hens have been getting
right along. This Is good practice be-
cause laying ration contains pro-
tein which goes into the forming Of
feathers, since egg production practi-
cally ceases when the mott begins.
Still, some poustrymen like to be sure
there Is liberal supply of protein
available for the hens during the mott
ing period.
sunfower Seed In Favor.
Rations which contain high per-
centage of fat have a tendency to
give the feathers high gloss. Sun
flower seed, because Of Its fat content,
is In favor among some poultrymen as
q feed during the melting period, espe-
cially with birds which they wish to
get into the best condition for exhibit
ton.

WHITEWAsH RECIPE IS GOOD
One of Cheapest and Most Lasting
Wood Coverings Is Quite Easy

Government whitewash is one of the
cheapest and most lasting wood
coverings and protectors. 1t Is simple

previously dissolved in warm water.
Next stir In three pounds Of ground
rice, boiled to thin paste. and stirred
in boiling hot Then add a half pound
Of plaster Of paris, previously dis
solved with a pound of glue, over
slow fire. Last, five gallons of hot
water. Stir thoroughly and let stand
for three days. Apply while hot. An
application to fences, trees and I'M

Scarcely anything on the farm is
more distressing to view than lot of
hens going. into cold weather without
enough feathers to keep them warm.
1t is much like man wearing a
palm beach suit with snow on the
ground, and trying to seem uncon-
cerned about it. or the chap who leaves
off his rovercoat in zero weather to
harden himself-so he says.
Forcing the Mott Unwse. =
But there doesn't seem to be any
help for the unhappy poultry minus
their winter clothing. Much was said
few years ago about forcing the
melting Of hens, controlling it, and so
arranging things generally that the
hen would get back on the job Of lay
ing eggs with less delay. An expert
enced New York poultryman' declared
he had solved the problem by cutting
down very materially the hens rations
for several days. This was followed
by heavier feeding than ordinarily.
The menu, or the lack Of it, stopped
laying, and often resulted in melting.
at once.
The results were not so satisfactory
as had been hoped. In many cases
the hens did not finish the mott much,
if any, quicker than if they had been
let alone. 1t didn't seem possible by
this means to control the time at
which the hens could be brought back
to laying. Egg production could be
stopped all right, but it couldn't be
resumed any earlier than usual, and
sometimes IL looked as If it had been
stopped permanently. Obviously, this
wouldn't do.
One of the chief attractions of poul-
try keeping is a constant supply of
eggs, let the feathers fall when they
may. So the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture doesn't advise any
one to try systems that seem in con
fiict with nature, who seems to have
a way of her own in such things
