Don't Force Pullets to
Lay Eggs During Winter

Now that the pullets are housed
and laying it behOOves us to consid-
er what we are going to expect Of
them. Usually we know what kind of
breeding is behind these pullets and
whether they can normally be expect
ed to lay 100 eggs apiece or $50 or
200. During the next year many per-
sons will get 20 eggs less than the
birds are bred to lay and some will
get or try to get 20 eggs more. The
supplying Of protein in correct pro-
portions is a stumbling block to many.
Experience shows that 10 per cent
meat GO per cent Of the mash) is
necessary and any more is detrimen-
tai. If milk is fed, cut down on the
meat. Bloody eggs from pullets are
usually a sign Of forcing which will
result in high mortality. Late Matched
pullets may have to be forced in order
to get a winter production, but they
are injured for future years and for
breeding both by late development
and by forcing. The moral is hatch
early.-O. @. Krum, Poultry Extension

Saint Nicholas Tired
of His Own Children

I'm HIS book called "a Tramp
Abroad" Mark Twain gives the
legend about Santa Claus or ST.
Nicholas. While the author was trav-

passed by the house of the children's
Christmas saint. There, the story
goes, at fifty st. Nicholas became tired
Of his own children and decided to be
a hermit Their noise distracted him,
so he sought out a dreary refuge far
from the world. Here, it is said, he
had the leisure to ponder and reflect
upon plOus things. What became of
his wife and ten children is not men
toned. But as a penance' the old
saint is obliged forever to climb down
''sOOty chimneys Christmas Eve con-
ferring kindness on other peoples

own"
In any event the old fellow looks
pretty jolly, and we hope he enjoys 1t

the singing of Holy Night" followed
by the Lords Prayer.
The minutes of the previous meet

It's Very Necessary to
Supply Egg Ingredients

When we realize that a hen makes
eggs containing all the twelve elements
needed In human nutrition and makes
them out of raw material, we see how
necessary it is that she be supplied
with the needed ingredients for produc-
ing eggs. Eggs contain iron, and most
Of this iron must go into the fowls
systems through the green leaves they
eat. That is why poultry must be sup
piled with clover or alfalfa throughout
the winter.
Ground alfalfa is used extensively
IN poultry ratiOns, both In the dry
mash and in wet mash, or sometimes
as steamed green's. Greens fed in this
way are good, but we find hay prefer
able. In the first place, the ground
alfalfa seems rather heavy and the
birds do not relish it as they should.
Besides this you will notice that when
the birds are fed hay, they leave the
hard woody parts and eat only the
leaves and tender parts.
A little observation will show you
that any animal that is in a reproduc-
ing condition will consume more leaves
and green food than when 1t is not
reproducing. For this reason, a hen
that is laying needs more green food
than when she is not laying, as some
Of these elements used in building eggs
are taken out of her system every day.

Sweet Glover Should Be
Turned Under This Fal

Sweet clover, in a field that is to be
used for corn next year, should be
turned under this fall. This will give
the green plants time to start decaying
and become incorporated in the soil.
If not turned under until spring, there
will be so much material that there
will be a layer Of it between the
plowed soil and the subsOil interfer-
ing with the passage Of moisture and
plant food. This condition would be
particularly unfavorable If the season
should be dry. To facilitate turning
it under, attach a No. 8 wire to the
beam Of each plOw letting it extend
back into the furrOw 4 or 5 feet be-
hind the plow. This method is very
effective in getting all the growth un-
der the ground.

her chores with apparent ease, until

Glover Hay More Than
Doubles Gain in Lambs

A little clover hay and linseed oil
cake lowered the feed cost and more
than doubled the daily gain in weight
when fed to lambs In tests in lambing
down corn at the Ohio experiment sta
ton.
. In a 41-day test "a lambs turned
into standing corn without additional
feed made an average daily gain of
.16 pounds at a cost of $14.S9 per 100
pounds gain. A similar lot receiving
three-fourths pound Of good clover hay
in addition to standing corn made a
daily gain Of "a pounds at a cost Of
$9.45, per 100 pounds.
Linseed oil cake added to the clover
hay at the rate Of 10 pound per
lamb still further increased the daily
gain and lowered its cost per hundred.

Suggestions on
Feeding Forage
Mistake to Leave Animals in
Fields Until Crops Are
Cleaned Up.

A mistake often made when crops
are harvested by turning live stock
IN on them Is to turn feeder stock
into the fields and to leave the ami
mails there until the fields are en-
tirely cleaned up of all feed. At the
beginning Of such a feeding period
feed Is relatively plentiful and the
stock makes some gains in weight.
Later, when the animals should be
on heavier feed, the supply of feed
Is relatively scarce and it requires a
lot Of moving around for an animal to
get enough feed to continue making
q gain. Sometimes animals come to
a standstill or even lose weight on
this account Such a loss in weight
Is a double loss.
Let Stock Clean Up.
A better plan where a whole crop
Is to be fed to live stock is to harvest
the better part Of the crop and allow
the stock to clean up the remainder;
then, when this is gone, feed the
harvested part Of the crop and avoid
losing any Of the gains made from
the cleanup Of the field. Another way
Of harvesting a crop with live stock
is to remove the fattening stock be-
fore feed becomes scarce and replace
them with other stock to clean up
what the fattening stock has left.
Water Is Essential.
A readily available supply Of good
drinking water Is also essential when
stock is used to harvest a crop. When
q fattening animal has to walk a mile
or so for a drink it won't always
drink enough water, especially on
cold, windy days. It takes a lot Of
energy for a fat animal to walk any
great distance and to produce this |
energy it requires feed, so a good |
water supply will save feed.-E. II.

The Heavenly Song at
Merry Christmas Time
@&i


~ HILETUS PHONE was a lover
NE of music, but he had his limita-
tions His collection of records
represented his taste, but also the
taste of the young masters. His piano
rolls embraced all the jazz variations
without due attention to harmony.
The wave lengths Of his radio set were
too short.
II has been said that all the heav-
emily Orbs sing in their motions, but
Philetus had never heard them, even
in imagination. His ears were long,
but they had never reached that far.
There were conceptions so delicately
beautiful that they could not get into
his mind. He had been heard to say
that the story Of the Christmas song
was doubtless an oriental invention.
Had he been among those wondering
Bethlehem shepherds it is probable
that he would have neither heard nor
seen anything that night.
So the Christmas singing was too
high for Philetus He spent Christ
mas Eve with a fox trOt and a giddy
whirl, but the carols went over him
and passed him by. In the splendid
church great organ harmOnies swept
up to medt the moOnlit benedictiOn Of
the starry heavens, carrying rapt souls
to heights of fuller vision of the glO-
rious gladness of the Christmas time,
but Philetus was in bed.
A mere lad, however, rejoicing in
his new radio set that night, tuned in,
saying, "Give me Heaven"-and got it !
