POULTRY and EGGS 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 ■carce in winter they will hatch better the following spring, and also they are , ' —'' The Faveroll* breed of poultry we* practically unknown outside of France prior to 1896. They have since become popular in America as & general purpose fowl. Fave rolle* ore good winter layers. Their eggs are large and brown tinted in color. Climatic conditions have lit tle effect on them as they moult early in this country and grow heavy feathers for protection. They are also valuable as spring broil er*. the chicks weighing one and one-half to two pounds at the two months’ age. They are bred in sev eral colors—salmon, ermine, black and white. The cock shown is a salmon Faverolle. obtainable In greater numbers at the 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 eral of the best cockerels until spring, when they can bo sold to advantage us breeders. This, however, would not - do If mixed breed fowls were kept. The purpose of the keeper rmjst be borne tn mind when managing a flock of 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 on range will pick up enough green food to supply their needs even us late as tho last of November or until the snow comes on. This is also true In the matter of grit As the age for lay ing approaches feed plenty of ground oyster shells. When the green grass la no longer available give other green food to take its place. During early winter cabbage Is usually avail able and cheap, and tbis serves an ex celleut purpose in the diet of the ma turing pullets. Green Feed Fer Hens. Beets and mangels are of value for hens as an appetizer and bowel regu lator. When the cold comes on so that the range Is no longer comfortable they should have' plenty of room In good, airy houses. At this time they •re fed as large a variety of foods as can be economically procured. Very rarely should they have wet mashes of any kind. Cut clover or ground alfalfa and an occasloual feed of sprouted oats are beneficial. Sour milk also figures largely tn the bill of fare. Clover For Poultry.

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. Quarters For Brood Sows. Prepare warm. dry. but ventilated quarters for the brood sows and do so now.
