2 Agricultural 1 Poultry?How to Feed lor P Winter Eggs. * , I Progressive Farmer. F The first reason thateges are so S( hard to get in late fall and winter 11 lies in the management of the * .. . .1 Hock. The best winter layers are " early pullets fed well when they l1 were younsr. An April batched 11 pullet is quite sure to go to lay- ^ ing in November. If ihe older stock are ted with the chickens ' hatched this seasqn, and receive 1 the same liberal amount ol feed ^ that the latter require, thev will 1 lay heavdy during the summer and until early tall. Then when they do quit, no r amount of coaxing will make ' them lay to any Cxt nt until r warm weather approaches in the spring. II you force them, by ( heavy feeling, to do their b^st v ^during the warm months, by v the lime cold weather comes ' tliev wi'l more likely get''off a their feed"' and n? t eat enough. c to keep warm and moke eggs s besides.

The profitable heni0 is the one that is busy on a cold n day. Feed them a heavy, warm u mash earlv in the morning so i they will stand around a'l dr.wn up and they are not apt to get ' on the nest to lay. Rather scatter some gri'in, wheat, oa's, or t even cracked corn in litter or trash where thev will be com- A ... . . , ti pelled lo scratch lor every grain. It is a fowl's nature to scratch, ' 1 and she will scratch a good while to get her breakfast and be happy and sing in doing it. It is with hens as with people, ^ better to warm up by exercise '1 than by taking "something hot" 1 in the stomach. 2 In preparing the mash which s is to be their afternoon or eye ^ ning meal, due regard must, be j had to get those feeds which j will furnish protein and the a carbonydrates or fat-forming food . . , 11 in the proper proportions, hqual j parlfl by measure, ot wheat bran.i. ^ground oats, corn meal and middlings make a good mixture. , With this mix animal meal in! o the pronrotion of one part to } eight. Animal meal is dried meat and bene, ground, and is essential in the formation of the oj.g, ' and if it is not used, green cut bone and meat, or beef scraps ^ must be given in place o' it. Care and attention go a long . t way towards success in 1 lie , poultry yard. The buildings ^ should be comfortable, not hot, ^ hut the floor dry, no draughts, good root, and the fowls not ^ crowded. Such a system of man* fl aging poultry on the farm will pay.

But the great trouble about eeping cotton to ripen is that eople have not houses to store 5 in. Would it not. pay to build hem ? A few years ago I picked out 3,00 lbs of the second picking (for eed lo plant) on the first of Oc* ober.
