A flock of pullets that Gun he
brought TO laying in the fall will give
the largest yearly profit. The average
poultry keeper fails either to hatch
early enough In spring, SO that the pull
let's may reach laying maturity in Oc-
toller, or he does not keep them grow
Ing rapidly enough to bring this about.
Pullets thar do not get to laying well
before the arrival of cold weather and
the sh0r, days of December. Will sell
dom start egg production before Feb
additional feeding are required, and
the advantage of his period of high
est egg prices Is lost.
Very few eggs are secured on the
average farm during autumn and early
winter. but experienced poultryn,en by
better management secure fair egg
production during these seasons. 1t
the cockcrels and pullcts be separated
MS early as possible and given sepa-
rate free range.
Avoid ovcrcrOwding ut night. A coop
tlint will hold 100 young chickens Will
not house properly more than half as
many growing pullets. Their maturity
will be retarded If too many are kept
together, or II they are annoyed by
lice or mites. Frequent Inspection of
the houses, especially after the pull
lets have gone to roost. Is advisable.

pullet with sodium iluorid or nercurial

Valuable results of interest to poul.

Md. where different ratIons have been
fed to various groups OF laying hens
for period of eight years. AT this
time. more than 1000 hens and pullets
are used In feeding trials Of this kind.
The pens range In size from 10 to
so hens, all the fowls being trnp-nesied
during the period under test. During
the last three years. the mash which
production has consisted of mixture
Of per cent bran. 4 per cent mid
dlings, 20 per cent meat scrap, and G6
per cent curnmenl. This mash was
the result of experiments where the
hens were allowed to select their own
mash ingredients. When given free
choice of these various ingredients. the
fowls consumed the various ingredi-
ents In the above proportions. Sew
erni pens. both of Leshorns and Rhode
Island Reds. OF 30 hens each have av-
eraged from 40 to 1855 eggs apiece
where this mash has been fed. The
feeding mixture seems to be especial
ly adapted for Leghorns. although II
has also given good results with the
Reds. The WynndOttes and Plymouth
Rocks are inclined to accumulate too
much fat when fed this mash. md one

gives better results when fed to these
two breeds.

The road patrol system used In
Grant county, WASH, Is pointed out
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture as an illustration OF how
highways can be maintained most sue
cessfully and economically. Other
counties In the state use the ''gans"
system, assigning to each gang a long
section, upon which they make repairs
at intervals, seldom reaching all the
necessary points. In Grant county the
plan is to prevent a road from getting
into bad condition rather than to make
repairs.
There are ID patrol sections, each
from six to ten miles long, In the s7.S3
miles Of county highways. Each Sec
tion is In chnrge Of a patrolman. who
works constantly on his piece of rond.

The change was recommended by the Photographic office. navy de- partment, and, according to the am nouncement of that office today. it was agreed to by all steamship com panies signatory to the "transat- lantic track agreement"
 Effective today .eastbound trans- atlantic liners will cross longitude 47 degrees west in latitude 40 de- grees and 30 minutes north, while westbound traffic will cross the same longitude in latitude Al degrees and 30 minutes north. By this change the double track is moved simul- taneously southward from the dan ger point off the New Foundland banks.
 Tt is urged" the Photographic of fice's announcement said, fin the in- terest of safety at sea that all ves- sells engaged in the transatlantic trade between the United States and European ports also adopt these routes"
 Reports from the ice patrol and steamers plying in the north At lantic have indicated for some time that icebergs were moving south ward in larger numbers than is usual at this season of the year.
