Winter eggs are the result of good
housing, variety in feeding, proper -
care, and selected females.
A good poultry house is one that
affords plenty of - ventilation without
drafts. The fowls must be protected,
especially at night, while on the roost.
Fresh air never killed poultry, but
cracks in walls and leaky roofs have
often done so` There must be ample
room in the house so that the hens
have opportunity to scratch and tier-
case. Comfortable, busy hens never
:worry to get outdoors during cold,
blustery weather. They are 'contennte,

Eggs are the product of feed. We
must supply the proper feed or there
will be no eggs. - Those who keep 200

find the commercial serateh foods and!

too, little mother?
Do you know that the farm chil-
dren are not well fed? The examin-
ation of rural school children shows
that five to seven out of every ten
are half starved or quarter starved.
This means that there are mothers
who are working so hard at other
things that the mother's most import-
ant work -bringing up her children -
is neglected. And many of them
know it but if things are to be made
different you mothers will all have
to got together to make thing, dif-
fereet. You can have your ebildi°en
given a hot lunch at school at noon,.
if you all vote that way.
The mother who is a good cook
rarely has large doctor bills to pay.
