Jv- ' Agricultural - V Department How to Get Eggs in "Winter. The Progressive Farmer. Having good success with hens laying daring the winter months, I thought probably an outline of my plan ot feeding might be of help to soipe of your readers. Getting eggs in wiuter depends upon feed and warm quarters to sleep in, and not so much on the breed as some have it. Any good breed will do. Select good, strong, well developed pullets that wore hatched not latef than April, whatever number you wi?h to keep; but do not keep over twenty-five iu'one house. 'thk^bkstjcind'of ukn housk.^ A house ten by six feet is a good size for that many, built three aides close and the front facing the sout|). One 1x12 plank at bottom,- three feet wire netting next, and then two lxl 2's at the top make a nice front lor the house. Arrange the house inside so you can have a scratching peu under the perches. This ia easily done, by having a shell just under the perches to catch the dropping; it will also be a great convenience in cleaning out, which must be done to in _ mi i? i is sure success. me noor snouiu | be tilled in so it will be dry eveu during rainy weather. Keep the scratching.,peu littered about one toot deep with straw or other litter, leavos beiug excellent. Feed all the grain in the litter and cover it up Avoid feeding too much corn, as there is danger of getting the layers ovor-iat. especially where older stock are kept, thi? showing one of the advantages ot keeping pullets which are not apt to get over-fat. Also, not having to go through the molt, they get in good shape for laying in winter. THK OKAIN KKICI). Wheat and oats are tine for the laying lions; and where one can not get wheat, one can always get wheat bran and shorts, which make a splendid substitute, equal parts bran and shorts w i!h a little cottonseed meal making an excellent mash. Mix Willi a little water, not wot or doughy, k..i ?;. ~i- ... UUI JU.^I iilU'31- Oil*-'IJfill lO 'TUIIlble. This also can be thrown on top ot the litter in the scratch ing pen, and the birds will always scratch toi whut they get in the straw. He careful not to feed more mash than will bo eaten up at once, as it will be liable to sour. . ^ _ RAliUITS or i.kan mkatIwuhstiTUTBS for ORIBN < on". This in the morning, with oats buried in t'.e litter. and a pood feci o( < orn at night. one hour before loosiing time, will serve for the grain ration: and the hen? wit^ge: <d! the roost in tin* morning and go to sc ratching for if y grain hat may noi have been touud tlie day before. Thi? crain must be supplemented with animal food of some soit and green te^d. For ar.un?l foo 1, one pou id of fresh green cut bone* per da; f >? twenty Ihti-is beat; but where bones cann -t i be ol)! ..ned. rabbit or lean meat j of any sort will do. .Milk ai-*o| is very good, which can be mix- j cd in the m i ' and also be given i as a drink.

The chill taken of! the drinkinic water in cold weather is aiso very beneficial. A BALANCED RATION NBCK89ARY. Do not toed corn alone, and THE LANC expect egga in winter. You of ] ten hear people say, "My hens lay in winter and 1 feed nothing but com"; but if you look luither,you will finu their liens have a nice grove w,in plenty 01 aeau j leave-' to scratch in, where they \ can find bugs and worms even i in the winter, also some green { feed somewhere around. Keep | your hens scratching for whaf they eat. Such aie the hens i that lay iif winter, not the ones ] that sit at the gates or doorstep < looking for the next leed of corn < to be thrown out ou the ground. | Try this kind of feeding one season, and see what results you < will get. Start early in the ] fall, by separating the pullets f you are to keep for layers; and j feeding them plenty ot muscle- ' tormiug roods and not too much 1 corn ; and you will have plenty } ] ot eirgs in winter. I have thirty pullets that were hatched the ( tenth day of last May, and six | of them have already (by the ( middle of February! hatched off ( seventy chicks ; and eight more | of them are sitting now. Those ; puliets were fed as above directed Do not forget to see. that ] there is plenty of grit that theM hens can get as wanted. IJens j will naturally lav in spring, ] when Nature furnishes thetn with i green and animal feed. D. Orighton Tickling, tight Coughs, can he surely and 'j >m uij iuunruuu n uu ? |iiroV/i ipiiuu.
