Ini the production of winter eggs no
consideration is of more importance
than the health of the hen. It is
contented, healthy hens that pay the
profit and care should be taken to in
sure the welfare of the flock. A few
hours work on many poultry,houses,
collided with an expenditure of a live
dollar bill will transform them from
an ugly makeshift into a comfortable,
profit -paying hen home, and some-
times it is not even necessary to spend
a dollar. If one does not wish to
spend real snoney there is often en-
ough boards that lay around in disuse
to go a long ways in doing repair
Work. Even corn fodder from which
the ears have been husked keep out
the cold and prevent drafts when set
about three sides of the house.
Provide for Ventilation
It is better to leave an open space
in the front of an otherwise closed
house than to board it up tight until
no air or sunlight can enter. In such
a house colds are the rule and disease
gerrxis thrive. No hen can work pro-
perly under such Conditions and it you
really carino's afford a window on two,
leave an opening that will admit light.
Leave an opening in the front 'of the
house anyway.
Too many winter houses, and for
that matter, all poultry houses, are
built too narrow and too high. Build
your house at least twelve feet wide
and sixteen feet is better. Then
make it only higlt enough to work
under comfortably. This saves ma-
terial and at the same time allows
the perches to be placed far enough
from the trent. The wide house also
conserves floor space and a house six-
teen feet square has many advantages
over one twice as long and only half as
wide.
Use plenty of litter in the laying
houge-brit be sure that it does not be-
come wet and mouldy. Damp houses
bring about this condition and floors
should be higher than the outside
yards. Even in houses where no damp-
ness is notioeable the litter becomes
badly damaged and will drassr moisture
after it becomes finelY pulverized.
The Best. Breed vs. Good Care •
Just what we have learned from the
various eggslaying conteets about
which are the best breeds would be
difficult, indeed, to determine, but one
thing stands out clearly and that is the
fact that almost eyery known breed—
at,least,. every breed that is in any-
thing like general use ---can be relied
upon to produce good returns if the
keeper does his part. Practically all
of the better known breeds have won
In these contests' under identical con-
ditions, SD if your Rocks lay less than
your neiglibor's Reds, do not be in a
hurry to change breeds. It may be
your own fault.
Skim -milk in. copious quantities is a
valuable egg feed and many farms can
supply it at 'practically no expense.
Where it is not at hand. a portion of
meat scrap added to the ration usually
pays. However, do not get the idea
that milk will also take the place of
water. Milk is a food—water a drink.
Corn has been severely criticised be-
cause of its fat -forming tendency but
do not let this deter you from feeding.
corn. Fed rightly it is a great food
and no one ever found a poor hen that
was laying eggs enough to be profit-,
able. It is usnallsr the old hens that
become too fat, but ;feed enough corn
to aid in keeping up the body head
when the weather be,comes cold. Corn
and wheat are two great feeds.
Lice by day" and mites by night
furnish the unhappy conditions of
poultry kept under insanitary surg
rounclins. Treatments for lice are
not effective for mites because the
latter works; only at night, making
raids on the tosvls from their hiding
places in crevices of the" roosts and
cracks of the building. 'To destroy
mites and keep the flock free of their
depredations insecticide sprays and a
sanitary building are necessary.
The presence of mites is indicated
by small black and white specks on
the roests—the excrement of these
insects. The first step is to get rid of
the hiding places so far ae possible.
The roosts ehould be taken down and
all unnecessary boards and boxes re-
moved. In heavily infested -houses
the mites' are to be found in all ,parts
of the building, including the roof,
Where they are leas numerous the in-
festations usually are "confined to the
• . roosts and nests and the walls imme-
diately adjacent. iFor small. coops a
hand atomizer will' suffice for apply-
ing insecticides as sprays, but for
larger houses a bucket pump,- knap-
sack sprayer or barrel pump is desir-
able A rather coarse Spray should
be applied from all angles and thor-
oughly driven into the cracks. The
floor also should be treated, as many
mites fall to the floor when the roosts
are being removed.
Of the several materiels that have
proved effective, one of the so-called
wood preservers, consisting of certain
coal tar products, known as anthra-
cene oil with zinc chlorid added, has
given particularly good results. Its
repelling power lasts for months. The
cost is about $1 a gallon, but twice the
quantity may be obtained by reducing
with equal parts of kerosene.
Crude petroleum is almost as effec-
tive, retains its killing power for sev-
eral weeks and. in most localities is
very cheap. It will spray better if
thinned with one part- of kerosene to
four parts of crude oil. .
Both of these materials often con-
tain foreign particles which should be
strained out before spraying is begun.
It has been found that one thorough
application of either of these mg-
teriale will completely eradicate thii-
mites from an infected chicken house,
but ordinarily it is advisable tcrinake a
second application a month after the
first, and in some cases a- third treat-,
meat is required. These subeequent
applications may be made with a
brush; using the materials pure, and
covering only the roosts, their sup-
ports, the walls adjoining and the
nests • if they are ' infested. " This
method of application is effective for
the first treatment also if, the houses
are not heavily infested. Poultry
should be kept out of the treated
buildings until the material is well
,dried into the wood. ; -
Used as a dip crude petroleum will
also clestnoy the small mite which
causes scaly leg. In dipping for this
mite the solution should not be allosti-
ed to reach the flesh above the infeeta-
tion Or to get op the -feathers.
The losses caused byox warble each
year aggregate millions of dollars.
Not only is the hide Of the infested
animal punctured by the emerging
larvae, cauaingn reduction in value of
one-third, but the presence of the
grubs in, the animal's back is source
•of loss which can not -be neglected.
Tho la„tter it very often overlooked.
The poor condition of .the -animal, its
inability -to talce on flesh, or poor
showing at the milk -pail, are factors
attributed to other causes. Most un-
OrMed CaLbleinen attribute these
conditions to iipa,r care, lack of proper
nourishment, or physiological troubles.
The presence of , fifty or sixty binn-
ing, running, -ulcers on the back of
the animal r.c.-lenis, a matterof small
iinportance, and is considered lightly
