GOOD WINTER LAYERS
Many Things Needed for Winter
Egg Production.
Poultrymen Must Lock Carefully Into
Proper Housing and Care of Birds
to Secure Greatest Returns
From Their Flocks.
The winter season is rapidly ap
proaching and poultry raisers in orde.'
to have a successful season and gi t
the greatest returns from their flocks
must look carefully into the proper
housing and care of the birds during
the cold, blustery days which will
soon be here.
The time is also rapidly approaching
when diseases peculiar to the featli
ered beauties, and large money yield
ers, will develop. Should you not be
In a position to exterminate the mala
dies quickly, all your expected profits
will be turned into losses and the sea
son made a failure. Should •his be
the case you will at once set up the
I cry “there is no money in chickens.”
This is up to you. If you sit idly by
during these bright, beautiful days
and give no heed to the future com
fort of your fowls, do not coinpla.n
when you do not get eggs when they
are a luxury or set up a wail when
your birds are picked off by the rav
ages of disease. Roup time will soon
be here and thL is indeed a most
dangerous disease among chickens.
See that your houses are protected
against all drafts and that the damp
ness is entirely excluded. Do not be
afraid to give the birds plenty of
good fresh air. but do not permit
drafts. The open style of poultry
house has been widely adopted and it
is a good one, but unless constructed
in the proper manner is sure to result
in the death of many birds.
The market for fresh eggs is rapidly
reaching a high-water mark and this
household necessity will, if predictions
count for anything, bring even a high
er price than that of last winter. Be
Nsg||g|gg^

prepared to have eggs when they are
wanted. In order to accomplish this
several things are necessary. First,
keep the hens healthy and vigorous,
feed them properly and keep them
busy. Idle hens never pay for their
board and keep.
Study the peculiarities and prefer
ences of the fowls and endeavor to
give them just what they want. Re
member you cannot get eggs by failing
to attend to the many details con
nected with the poultry yard and gen
eral inattention to business. A few
hours each day, morning and night,
will accomplish wonderful results. See
to it that your part in the program
of egg production is carried out and
the hens will do the rest.
AUTUMN CARE OF THE COLTS
Young Animals Should Be Given Some
Grain and Hay Just Before Pas
tures Begin to Dry Up.
Young colts should not be left out
in the pasture until they begin to get
low in flesh. It is much more profit
able to begin feeding them a little
grain and hay along before pastures
begin to dry,up to have them in readi
ness to go on dry feed later without
any serious trouble.
This is too often neglected: and, j
when young colts are brought in thin \
in flesh, and they cannot be taken
through the winter in the condition ,
that they could have been, this neg*
lect is inexcusable.
In weaning the colt from the mare, j
it should have the very best of care, j
as the change of conditions is liable j
to cause some trouble. While on the j
good summer pasture the mare gave j
milk that was easily digested and in
taking colts from milk to dry food, |
it is necessary that they should re
ceive the very best of attentiou. They
should be properly fed in order to
prevent any bowel troubles. This rule
will hold good in taking young calves
through this period and in fact will ap
ply to all kinds of live »tock, but
more especially to the young of the j
farm which are expected to turn in a
profit for the farmer the next year.
To Destroy Ants in Beehives.
It is not common to find ants in the !
hood of a beehive in the spring
months. They collect there and breed
o account of the warmth given off by
the bees. Remove the hood and brush
off the ants once a week until rid of
them.
To keep the moths out of the hives,
simply keep the hives occupied with
bees and the moths will have very
little chance of making their abode
with them in the hives.
Profit in Goats.
Goats may be raised profitably on
land which is suited for any kind of
cultivation.
