Not everybody understands how to
feed and case for a- flock of .hens so
as to get eggs in winter. A woman
who is succeeding admirably in anis
respect the present season gives the
following suggestions: First, do„expect eggs in winter unless the hens
are young,. Old fowls are too fat to
lay well. Best 'results 'axe obtained
,
with pullets. Next, do not �
crowd
too many hens in one -flock. About
twenty, to,twenty--fivedo better'
than a largerenumber. If old and
young of both sexes comprise the
flock it will be advisable to keep the
)
m
young hens and pullets by theselves.
Provide water with the .chill off in.
cold .-Weather. Hot bricks under
the container changed twice or three
times duringthe day will do this. If
kept clean there is no objectionto
heating these bricks in the house.
Charcoal, crushed oyster shell and
grit are kept where they -are acres
side at all times, and meat scrape
forms a portion of the ration every
day. The first meal is fed as soon
as it is daylight. This is a warm
mash slightly moist, composed of bran,
ground oats and a' little corn meal fed
in troughs. At this time •a basket of
clover chaff is emptied in the scratch-
ing stied. • There is no noon meat
but about' four o'clock a liberal feed
of corn is given. This corn is kept
in the house, precious as it is this
year, and so is never icy cold. .
