Increasing the egg yield during the months of soaring prices Is one of the surest methods of swelling the profits from the poultry flock, the Seurs-Koe- touck Agricultural Foundation points out. Prices paid to producers for eggs during the three months, November, December and January, are nearly twice as high as In the spring months. While extra care Is required to obtain high winter egg production, ail of the essential steps are within the reach of the average farmer. “To produce a great man, start with hls grandmother.” Any chicken will lay In March, April and May, but the ability to lay from November to March lias been developed only by many years of breeding and selection. To get win ter eggs, early pullets must be hatched from vigorous, healthy stock of proven ability to lay during the winter. At the Massachusetts Experiment Station, pullets hutched in February produced . r »C eggs before March 1 of the follow ing year. March pullets laid 40 eggs before March 1, April pullets, 30, and May pullets, only 18. The spring and summer egg production from the early-hatched winter layers was Just as good us from the late-hatched pul lets that did not lay In the winter. Careful feeding and management of the chicks are necessary If healthy, well-matured pullets are expected In the fall. In addition to the whole fltaln ration, a mash containing a liberal supply of protein and minerals is needed throughout the growing period. The chicks must have plenty of sunshine and the poultry house and yard must be kept sanitary to prevent disease. A good flock deserves a good home, a poultry house that Is well ventilated, light, clean, free from drafts, dry and free from vermin. Pullets should be housed at least by the first of October to become used to tbeir new quartets. Hy artificial Illumination in the poultry house during the winter, Hally the same length of day can be produced as fowls normally wwjld receive In the spring. It gives more time to consume the feed necessary to keep warm and have a surplus for egg production in the fall and winter when toe price Is high. A hen Is a factory and cannot produce eggs unless her ration contains ail the Ingredients needed to make eggs. Also, she must be made to consume a large amount. Many farm flocks get poorly balanced, Inadequate rations from November to March and hence lay few eggs during those months. For most farm flocks, the combined mash and grain feeding plan Is best. The •cratch grain c«n be varied according to the supply and prices of local grains, « standard mixture consisting of equal parts of corn, wheat and oats. The mash also varies, but one in common use consists of 100 lbs. of wheat bran, 100 lbs. of flour middlings, 100 lbs. of yellow com meal, 100 lbs. of ground heavy oats or ground barley, 100 lbs. of meat scrap, 3 lbs. of salt, and 10 to 20 lbs. of steamed bone ineul. The animal protein can be obtained also from skim milk, buttermilk, or tankage. In addition, some green feed, such as cabbage, rape, or sprouted •oats must be given to keep the hens In good physical condition. Oyster shell for lime and grit must also be Included. The use of a mash feed, either home-mixed or purchased, as a part of the ration ofTera one of the easleat means of Improving the winter produc tion of farm flocks, the Foundation continues. Probably not over 10 per cent of farmers give a mash, although it Is not possible to force the bens to consume a balanced diet without It.

THE DUKE BROTHERS. FARMERS IN JAPAN. * Moose]aw, Saskatchewan, gave a dinner to Ben H. Thomsosi in honor of his Holstein-Friesian cow, Canary Cordyke. They both deserved. The Saskatchewan Government bought the cow for $10,000. Canary is world’s champion in but ter fat and gives enough milk in a day to last the average family a month. In 305 days, this wonder cow pro duced 1,080 pounds of butter and 26,396 pounds of milk. Too bad there is no way of im proving men's brains, as we improve cows’ udders. Only time can do that, and time it slow.

He has been elected President of the United States, win begin his work in less than two months, has been in Washington several days at work. How much has he talked? Not at aU. Eight years more of business with out conversation will suit this coun try very well. We have had, at vari ous times, considerable periods of conversation without business. OLAR NEWS.
