Allow at least -I square faat of floor space for every bird. See that the Uttar Is deep and that the flock la kept hungry enough to work for the scratch grain.

This losa will not take care of an e]4dcmle If It hits the flock. It can tie readily seen that the wise thing to do is to cull out very rigidly at the beginning of the laying year, and carry only the most healthy and vigorous hens through the winter. Feed Hens Liberally In a laying pullet feed will p,-.** through the crop, stomach, gizzard and five feet of Intestines in less than four hours.
