GOOD SUGGESTIONS
FOR WINTER LAYER

The successful poultryman knows
able eggs. He knows. too, that to
secure constant supply of eggs dur
ing winter the laying hens must be
kept comfortable. The condition of
the poultry house at this season Is
therefore Of great Importance.
"A hen that uses mp the food given
her to keep her body warm cannot
be expected to lay many high-priced
eggs" says Prof. d. S. Weaver of
the department of agricultural en-
cheering at the North Carolina State
college. I'VE should took to the con-
dition of the poultry house and see
that there is plenty Of litter on the
floor; that the walls are tight to
prevent drafts and that we have. win
dows to admit light and air These
are requisite for heavy production
of winter eggs"
Professor Weaver states that the
windows should open on the south
side of the house and should be
equipped with curtains so that they
might be raised during the day to
admit sunlight and air and closed
at night to keep out the cold.
Longer working days for the hens
may be secured by installing cleo
trio lights, states Professor Weaver.
An automatic switch may be used to
turn on the lights before daylight in
the morning and after shutdown in
the afternoon. Such a switch will
save lots of trouble and add to the
egg production when the proper
amount of good feed is supplied
Nor should we forget that hens
like plenty Of water in winter" says
Professor Weaver. "Thls water should
be Ice cold but fresh and pure each
day."

Prevent All Drafts in
the Incubator Cellar

To get good hatch of strong chicks.
1t Is essential to have the incubator in
the right kind Of room. properly ven
tilated, advises the poultry department
of the New Jersey agricultural expert
ment station. A room that will hold
an even temperature of 60 to 20 de-
grees is as important as having an in
cubator that will hold temperature
of 103 degrees.
If an incubator cellar is used. 1t
should be large enough to provide for
the future expansion of incubator ca
pacity A yelling eight feet in height
is preferred, as 1t permits layer of
air to circulate over the machine and
provides room for the expansion tank
and other fixtures found on most incu-
bators. The length and width of the
cellar, of course, will depend on the
size of the incubator to be used and
the number of machines to be placed
side by side AS rule, an inside
width Of IL feet is ample for a single
machine and % feet If two machines
are placed side by side Have windows
tthree-light cellar SASH on each side.
Place them approximately eight feet
apart If the building or room Is %
feet wide, and ten feet apart If u
feet wide.
While the Incubator cellar is most
commonly ventilated by opening the
windows, this method has serious OBJ
jections. 1t is rapidly being replaced
by the indirect method which provides
plenty of fresh air at all times with
out drafts.

Preventive Measure in
Dealing With Diseases

Several years ago sheep producers
of the corn belt became convinced that
If they were to grow sheep profitably
they must rotate their pastures in or
der to prevent worms from iniuring
their flock In more recent years the
hog producers have adopted similar
plan in order to avoid many Of the
poultry producers are beginning to
realize that many of the diseases that
are causing heavy flock losses can be
prevented by following plans similar
to those adopted by sheep and hog
men.
Most heavy poultry losses can be
traced to the fact that the birds are
raised on the same ground year after
year without paying attention to the
prevention of worm lnfestation or
disease infection.
DR.. Charles Murray, Iowa State col
lege, who inspects the sick poultry
sent to Ames by Iowa farmers, Is re-
sponsible for the statement that COG
cidiosis is the cause of large per-
centage Of the loss among young
chickens, especially among those that
are over tvs weeks OF age. In out
lining the trouble, Doctor Murray lays
particular emphasis on the need OF
preventive measures In dealing with
the disease.
In all poultry diseases prevention Is
the best cure. Birds are small and
difficult to treat individually.

Overlook Value of Milk

The value of sour milk and butter
milk is often overlooked ON the farm
Many times this Is thrown into the
slops or fed to the pigs when it might
much better be given to the laying
hens. 1t provides protein for the
production of eggs and assists in
maintaining the birds in healthy
condition. When the mash is mixed
with milk, or when the birds receive
all the milk they will drink, the meat
neal ray be decreased about one
third.
