the production of fall and winte-r
eggs? They -can all beegatmed under
two main limas: 1. 13 -reeding. ,2.
Feeding. '
These are two very big factors, and
they eannet be separated. Either one
alone will not suffiee, The .bestabred

of feed will 110t make the poor -bred
bird lay. The saying goes, "You
can't get blood out of a turnip."
Breeding poultry for winter eggsis
principally a matter of 'breeding them
for early maturity, or breeding lairds
wbich will mature end lay in six
months instead of ten or twelve
months, as is natural; also breeding
birds which have the power of lune-

short time in the spring or breeding
eeason.
his factor of breeding has long
been esteiblished in most of our pres-
ent-day strains of poultay, especially
in the light breads (Leghorns, An -
canes, etc.), and aur general-purpose
lerecas (Plyn-sout,h Rocks, Wya•ndettes,
etc.). Of course, these are still being
improved each year by breeding, 'but
the main has been established so that
for the general run of poultry keep-
ers it comes down to a point of
feeding. -
The following rations and method
of feeding will be found very efficient
Lor fall and winter eggs. About a
menth before it is expected they
should start laying, or just about the
time they throw their growing rnelt,
their ration ahould he changed. They
should be taken from a ration of a
high fibre and protein content which
they have been gx•owing a,rd developing
on, and given a more fattening feed
as follows:

In closing, I will speak of root crops
for hogs. They enjoy andthrive on
them. Carrots, artichokes, parsnips,
mangels and beets are excellent for
the purpose. The ordinary objection
to the raising of roots for stock feed'
in Canada ha e been the cost of labor
necessary fer their production. Much
of this labor cost is the harvesting of
the crops. The cost,of raising them
is not great. We cannot profitably
maintain the pig in idleness and allow
him to burn his energy in fruitleia
-wandering over barren pastures, nor
can we afford to simply maintain him
on costly grain, nor gather and serve
his food when he can, with greati sec -
cess, harvest his own crops.
Let as try out the hog on a portion
of our corn crop this year and then
keep all right 'where the temperati-ge
does not go below 84 degrees.

-winterwork. About ^a month of this
feeding should ,condition them, and
• then they should be put on a -laying

left before the birds at all times, and
easily accessible.
Scratch Feed.
Corn ..... .100 lbs.
Oats barley, buckwheat, or
kahr corn ................100 lbs.
Scratch feed should be cut down to
8 to 10 pounds per 100 birds per day:
one-fourth of this amount fed in the
morning, one-fourth at noon, and one-
• half at night, • or one-third in the
moaning arid tvvia-thiads at night.
• Feeding scratch in this way will
tend to drive the birds to the mash,
which they must eat to lay. The birds,!
when this ration is fed, are just about
ready to lay, and it will push them
across in good, uniform shape, and
unless something wrong happens in
, quality of feed, during' the fall, and
winter they should go through with
a pretty steady flow of eggs.
The Hog as a Harvest Hand.
Ifigthe fousy fall days, with a arraltri-
bale of things requaring attention, the
,tfatmeg often has a willing laborer
warmed in, enforced idleness. A
laborer so willing that if hie
can he put at the Work he iS adapt-
ed to doing, he will pay for the priv-
ilege of doing it. 31 refer to the hog.

in cleaning the stable, and more diffi-
culty- in keeping the cows clean, the
extra fertilizing material collected in
this way will probably pay, for' the
extra labor. If this does net, the ex-
tra supply of Milk received by keeping
cows in a comfortable stable at times
when t,he temperature. drops below
freezing point, or elose above it, may.
Experience shows that cold has a
very marked effect in lessening the
milking for some time, when the na-
tural tendency is for a cow to dry up,
and during which time every means
should be taken to keep her milking.
Cows 'should milk at least ten months
of the year. Leavirig cows outside dur-
ing cold nights, after they have been
milking for six or eight months makes
a greater tendency for those cows to
go ary.
Where cows are kept inside, the

some absorbent material like sawdust,
shavings, chaff or cutsetraw, should

the platform, and in the gutter. Thie
helps very much in cleaning the stable,
and in keeping cows Clean.
Another advantage of stabling on
frosty nights, is that it prevents cows
