Austin Shelley. “In supplying eggs during the late summer and fall, the comfort of the hens and pullets that are starting to lay must be consider ed,” the agent states, in making suggestions on getting maximum results from the farm flocks. Cool houses, shade, fresh water, and freedom from lice and mites will contribute more to the hens’ comfort than anything else. “If lice get on the birds, they should be dusted with sodium ’luoride. This can be done by )utting a pinch of fluoride back of the head, on the back, under each wing, and in the fluff eathers. About two treatments, 0 days apart, will get rid of lice. Mites can be controlled by paint- ng the roosting quarters with old motor oil or a mixture of kerosene and motor oil. If the house is badly infested it may take sev eral cleanings and oilings.” Urging that laying hens and pullets be given all the feed they will eat, the agent advises that a cheap feed can be prepared by mixing one-third, by weight, of yellow com meal, one-third wheat shorts, ground wheat, or ground oats, and one-third fish meal, this mixture to be kept before the birds at all times. Another feed containing corn or a mixture of corn, wheat, and oats, should be kept always before the birds. READ THE AD$ Along With the New*
