WINTER CARE OF PULLETS.
Young Poultry Need Roomy Quarters
and Good Handling.
In caring for young poultry stock In
winter I try to give It enough room in
which to develop and then feed It more
liberally thiin the older fowls, writes
H. E. Ha.vdoek In the American Agri
culturist. Overcrowding is one of the
gravest dangers to guard against.
There are two methods of handling
pullets—one so as to get eggs in win
ter; the other so that by feeding they
will be in fine laying condition the fol
lowing spring. In keeping pure bred
stock I fiud it the best plan to use the
latter method, because where eggs are

time of high prices for hatching pur
poses.
Where winter eggs are to be pro
duced it is necessary the pullets
are hatched early in the previous
spring. This means a smaller percent
age of chicks hatched, as at that time
the eggs show less vitality. I have
also found it more difficult to raise the
chicks. As eggs command the best
price in the spring, that they do not
batch well meuns a greater cost for
each chick. Although these pullets
Will lay in winter when eggs command
the highest price for market purposes
it will still be necessary to furnish
proper food and care. Even then some
may put on flesh instead of producing
eggs.
I find that the best food is whole
grain, meat scraps and green food. It
is also important that the pullets he
kept out of the snow and above the
frozen ground, for cold poultry pro
duces few eggs. With pure bred poul
try I find 1t advantageous to keep sev

If mixed breed fowls were kept. The
purpose of the keeper rmjst be borne

young poultry stock in winter.
Rations For Egg Layers.
A good ration for pullets Is composed
of equal parts of cracked corn and
clean whole wheat This should be
fed from a hopper. A dry mash com
posed <rf com meal, wheat bran and
beof scrap should be kept in the pens
for the birds to peck at Pnllets kept

food to supply their needs even us late

the matter of grit As the age for lay

green food to take its place. During

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By C. C. BOWSFIELD
Good farming, good homes and thrift
are coupled with the little farm idea.
As small places are apt to have a va
riety of produce, they stimulate good
selling methods. They are a means of
developing direct marketing plans by
which consumers pay prices
for kitchen supplies, while producers
receive more than wholesale rates.
A reader who recently bought a ten
acre farm a mile and a half from town
asks me to make up an outline for the
successful management of his little
place. He wishes to keep a team of
horses, two or more cows, some poul
try and have as wide a diversity of
production as possible in order to dis
tribute labor evenly.
In nearly every case persons taking
small farms are Inspired with the need
of diversified crops, so that if one
thing fails there are other products to
keep up the income. 1 will say right
here that many ten acre tracts are
maintaining several cows and consid-
ON THE LITTLE FARM.
erable other live stock, besides allow
ing room enough for a large produc
tion of vegetables and fruit
A farm of tbis size may devote two
acres to pasture, three acres to corn,
two acres to a commercial garden, one
acre to orchard, one acre to root cr<>|«
and the tenth acre to buildings, poul
try plant, etc. This arrangement will
enable the owner to alternate the three
acres of ground devoted to corn with
the three used for garden and root
crops. Thewe products should be grown
In rotation not only for the purpose of
keeping up soil fertility, but as a
means of fighting insect pests.
In the acre devoted to orchard there
may be about fifty trees, which should
Include at least apples, pears and cher
ries. There will then be room for about
200 raspberry and currant bushes
among the trees and around the edge
of the orchard. The root crops should
Include carrots, beets, rutabagas and
other things of the kind. '|'be three
acres of corn will supply roughage for
six or eight head of stock, and between
the rows rape should be sown so that
after the grain has been harvested a
number of hogs may graze through the
fall months. The plowing can be done
before the ground freezes. There will
be corq enough to fatten the hogs sot
the winter market and to feed the
horses besides supplying part of the
poultry rations.
After crops of lettuce, beans, early
potatoes, onlous, peas and radishes
have been taken off early in the seasou
the garden can be fitted for succession
crops, such as cabbage, tomatoes, cel
ery, sweet corn and late potatoes.
This program ot double cropping can
be widely varied. It enables *. person
to raise twice as much stuff as the ordi
nary garden produces, and as there Is
an extra amount of cultivation the soli
does not wear ont. So far as possible
plowing and fertilizing should be done
In the fall.
There should be earnings about as
follows: Toultry plant for 200 hens,
$300; three cows. $400; ten bogs, $130;
garden produce, $400; fruit, $250; one
horse raised each year, $150; totaL sl,-
050. Each of these estimates of earn
ings may be enlarged a little, as they
are conservative. A little additional
income may be gained from the sale
of calves. It would also be possible to
clean up some money by keeping pi
geons. An Incubator run in connection
with the poultry plant ought to In
crease the earnings of that department
a hundred or two. A gross Income up
around $2,000 Is not unreasonable.
There must be paid out about SSOO for
help in the garden and for mill stuffs
for the cows and poultry. If cream Is
sold or butter made there will be a con
siderable amount of skimmed milk for
the hogs and chickens.
This cannot be more than a sugges
tive outline for the guidance of peo
ple who are taking little farms. The
problem will not be exactly the yamo
In any two cases, and the owfier of
the farm must figure out methods for
himself. A much wider diversity of
production Is feasible. For Instance. |
twenty or thirty colonies of bees do
not take up any room worth speaking
about but they may add S3OO to S3OO
to the yearly income. It will be found
that tiie above estimate of possible
earnJcgs In orchard and garden U low.
