(Pnpirtd by th? United stetra Department <? of Ayrteulture. > Hens (hat devote too much attention early in the season to the fall styles In feathers are not the kind that please the flock owner. It costs too much to support them and tliey demand too Ions a vacation period. Bnt the hen that weara her old clothes until | aii|:>mn has almost passed is the heat of the flock, for she has kept on lay ing since the previous fall or winter I go now when you see a bird thai looks shabbier than the others, do not con clude that she Is of the no-account kind and that her smartly dressed sisters are the ones to keep. Take Short Vacation. Of course some of the hens that molted earlier, say In August and Sep tember, are profitable enough to keep, but tlie cream of the flock Is made up of he^s that do not change their fenthers until October or November. Their molting will require only a few weeks and they will probably be laying again by the 1st of January. The poor ones, the early-molting loafers, will not begin until about this time, even though they have been resting since the middle of the summer. It takes one about two months and the other twice that long to get back Into production. The poultry keeper who has an eye for business will not neglect this worn looklng late layer, for she Is the best profit maker he has. She needs a highly nutritious ration If she la to be in the beat condition to start on anothenyear of high production. When the quits laying and starts to molt she has as much need for a ration strong In protein as she has when she Is shelllnr out the eggs, as feathers are highly nitrogenous In their makeup. They use the materials .supplied by beef scrap, gluten feed, and oil meal. The oil meal Is very effective in keep ing the feathers In a healthy condition. Kens that lay eggs late In the fall and in the winter are really producing an out-of-season crop, for It is normal for the hen to lay for a time in the spring and early summer and rest for the remainder of the year. Profitable hens are really those that have the capacity to force their egg-maktng machinery, but they must have the right sort of fead with which to do It. That means feeding well-balanced ra tions designed for the particular class, and sometimes for the particular breed. A balanced ration la a combina tion of feeds which furnish Just the necessary amount of nutrients to pro duce the highest and most economical egg yields. The amount of feed needed to produce a dozen 'eggs varies with the kind of birds. According to ex periments conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture general-purpose pullets produced a dozen eggs from 6.7 pounds of feed, and Leghorn pullets laid the same number from 4.8 pounds. Simple mixtures are usually the most desirable. As the fall advances and the days grow shorter the birds should be encouraged to put away at much feed as possible during the day so that their bodies will have plenty to work on for all of the 24 hours. A good handful of scratch grain for each bird at night will All the crop. It Is not desirable thai the liens be made to work very hard for this feed. Be sure that' the hena go to roost with a full crop. Id making up /atlons It <8 necessary to adhere to standards within certain limits, hot some feeds may be sub stituted for others, as barley, wheat, and oats for corn. However, meat scrap and other animal-protein feeds can not be replaced by hlgh-regetnble protetn feeds. All changes should be. made gradually, as sudden changes may decrease egg production. A great many poultrymen and live stock feeders now believe that If the animal has a free Choice tt will select the ration that Is most suitable. At the government farm at Beltsville, lid., the following mash was made np by keeping account of tbe amounts of the different feeds a laying flock con sumed : Samples of Balanced Rations. * Mash. Scratch Mixture. M Ibe.-eora meal t lb. cranked corn (tt lbs. meat acres 1 lb. wheat 1 lb. bran ' 1 lb. eats i 1 lb. middllnga Here Is a simple ration that has given very good results with Leghorns, but that has proved too fattening for Rocks and Wyandottee. Meat scrap. It will be seen, makes up over 25 per cent of the mash. Mash. , Scratch Mixture. I lb. com meal 1 lbs. cracked corn 1 lb. meat scrap 1 lb. oats For birds that are made too fat by the preceding ration, the following, containing only .IS per cunt of meat scrap but having conslderabla gra teln iu other feeds, has been found a good una. ^"V'* 1 Mash. Scratch Mixture 1 lb. corn meal S lbs. crack ad corn i it hnn 1 lb. ehsat 1 lb. meat scrap 1 lb. oats 1 lb. middlings 1 lb. barley 1 lb. ground oats Poultrymen resort to every possible means to get their hens to eat a great deal of feed, especially In the winter when the days are short One stay Is to out 'the morning scratch feed to about half. The hungry bird then goes to the mash trough and gorges on the dry mash. Then to Increase the consumption of mash some of It Is fed wet at noon and the bans will eat it when they would take no more of It dry. DARKENED CELLAR IS URGED FDR POTATOES Exposure to" Light Quickly Injures Quality of Tuber. * \ Temperature Beet Suited for Proper Preeervation la One Ranging From 32 to 46 Oegroee?Large Pilae Are Not Favored. The object of storing any product la to preserve its quality during as long a period as may be necessary or possible In order to permit Its dis posal at the most advantageous time. Investigations by the bureau of plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, show that the temper ature best suited to the proper pres ervation of potatoes Is one ranging from 82 to 45 degrees. In regions where the powdery dry tot occurs a temperature of 33 to 38 degrees holds the disease la check better than a higher one. It Is found best not to store pota toes Jn large plies when they are moist or covered with moist earth, as they quickly develop sufficient heat to In jure the vitality of the tubers. If through unfavorable weather condi tions It becomes necessary to store potatoes when they are wet and dirty, they should be spread out in a thin layer until they have become dry, after which they may be piled up< It Is not desirable to store potatoes to s greater depth than six feet. Potatoes Intended for table use should always be stored In a dark ened cellar pr stotage house. Ex posure to light quickly injures the quality of the potato for food pur poses. SMALL HOUSE FOR CHICKENS New Uupttoer Will Make Beet Appear, a nee, but Packing Boxes Will Answer Purpose Well. In building a poultry house, new lumber will of course make the best appearing 'structure and will also be somewhat easier to work up because It can be bought in lengths most advantageous for the purpose. Houses for a few hens can sometimes be constructed from packing boxes, while used material or second-hand lumber, if it can l>e purchased cheaply and is close at hand, will sometimes lowet the cost of the bouse materially. Occasionally, also, where a high board fence Is available, the house can be built In the corner of the fence, thus saving the construction of the back and one side of the house. Care must be used to cover or batten the cracks, either by means'of strips or by the use of roofing paper. Coiistttuct the building so that the front of your henhouse will admit the sunlight. Send to the Division ,of Publications, United States Department of Agricul ture, for bulletins containing plan and Illustrations; Farmer's Bulletin 980 is a good one to have, on hand. CEMENT FLOOR FOR FEEDING Fanner Should Remember to Give Slope to One Slge to Insure Necessary Drainage. Farmers who build cement feeding floors should remember to give the floor a good slope to one side. This Insures good drainage, facilitate# cleaning and mokes It possible for the feeding floor to completely fulfil) Its function of providing a clean place to feed hogs. Some farmers hr.re so lo cated these floors as to get a large amount of rainwater from rodfr of nearby biddings, which flushes the Roo. t'.or each rainstorm and ludps materially to keep them dean and sanitary. ?
