FOWL WITH STRONG AND
(By W. D. NBALF. Colorado.)
For winter layers the eight-mom h-old
pullets and the yearling hens are the
best of the flock. The pullet thnP has
been stunted is defective, or unhealthy,
should be removed from the flock. Also
the hens that lack in vigor should be
culled out. All hens more than a year
old should be sent to market. The oth
ers will be compelled to board them

The long-legged, narrow-breasted
and flat-bodied pullets will not he
good layers. A pullet that more than
pays her way must be built close to
the ground with good craw capacity
and have a thick body, giving plenty
of room to the vital organs.
The early-hatched pullet should be
gin to lay In October and by the first
of the year she should be doing her
best. The pullet that does not begin
to lay before cold weather generally
delays the matter until spring opens.
However, the pullets that are prop
erly housed and put on an egg-laying
diet will begin before the month of
October has passed.
The aim of poultrymen should be to
produce as near as possible summer
conditions for his winter layers. This
demands a comfortable house, one
that prevents all drafts of cold air
and keeps out the rain and snow. It
may be open to the south, but this
opening should be closed during the
stormy weather to keep the flock com
fortable. The floor should have a
good litter of straw from 8 to 10
inches deep. Here the flock can get
plenty of exercise by scratching for

Should Be Fed When Shoots Are Not

Other Good Feeds.
Sprouted oats are good for laying j
hens and should be fed when the j
shoots are not over one-half inch in
length. '
Tender, juicy green stuff should be;
fed, such as beets, cabbage, green clo-j
ver or other succulent food, but it is
unwise to feed green food in a frozen
condition to laying hens; skim milk,
buttermilk, dried milk and dry ground
bone are also good for the protein in

Green Feed Needed.
Grass, grit, bugs and grains are the
summer food for the hens. These in
gredients should be supplied in the
winter when hens cannot range. The
green food can be given in form of al
falfa leaves, turnips, cabbage, beets
and sprouted oats. The commercial
grit and oyster shells may be pur
chased at a nominal price from the
poultry dealer. In order to have a
meat diet one can purchase the meat
scraps or beef meal and blood meal
from the poultry man in the city or
town. A mixture of two-thirds corn
and one-third wheat is a good grain
feed for winter time. This furnishes
a variety of grains and is appreciated
by the flock.
It is best to keep the hens in the
house until the frosts are off the
ground. About ten o'clock Is a good
time to open the door and let them
out when the sun is shining bright.
If snow is on the ground keep the hens
inside the house. A hen will not lay
that must stand around in the cold
snow.
My experience has proved that It is
wise to keep a dry mash before the
hens at all times. In a self-feeder put
a mixture of two-thirds bran, one
sixth corn chops and one-sixth dry
beef scraps. Here the hens can get
their lill and have plenty of food for
egg making. (live cold water that is

Surprised Dinner Party.
In a recently published boow Sir
Henry Lucy has a charming story of
the late Canon Alnger. The canon
was very fond of children, and set out
one night to attend a party given "by
children for children."
"Don't announce me," he said to the
servant.
Leaving his coat and hat downstairs,
he quietly opened the drawing-room
door, where the buzz of voices an
nounced the presence of company.
Dropping on his hands and kuees he
entered, making strange noises distinct
ly resembling the neighing of a horse.
Aware of a dead silence, he looked up,
and found the guests assembled for an
eight-o'clock dinner regarding him
with disgust not unmixed with alarm.
The children's party was next door.
