(:ABE OF PULLETS.
Early hatched pullets for winter lay-
ers can be so cared for as to develop
the egg producing organs, or they can
Lr fed so as to cause them to lay an
fat and be only (it for the butcher,
says E. Nt. Kies. 1'he purpose of the
cure should be kept in mind from
weaning lime to maturity. The birds
should have green cut bond and green
feed each day, have the best coop and
never be crowded. The heavier breeds
should have but little corn. Wheat,
good heavy oats and table scraps aro
excellent.
If I had only one building for the
miscellaneous stock, 1 would use some
old shed with straw roof if need be,
rather 111911 put niy winter layers in
the crowd of old and half grown
stuck. Unless one is to furnish eggs
for hatching, there should be no male
in the tock. Many times on the farm
I have seen turkeys, geese and guinea
fowls, late hatched chicks and old cocks
in the poultry house when tie first
cold sterns came. Nothing could be
worse unless 11 were no shelter at all.
Whiter laying is an acquired Instinct
or habit and all the conditions must be
favorable or else the tendency to revert
to the urigival type will show itself.
.1: feeding time there is a generat me-
lee wi111 perhaps yt big gander or fon
turkey bussing the feed trough; young
and old cocks fighting. The ahy pullet
will not lay until she can be quiet and
secluded. I put the late hatched chicks
in one (lock; the cockerels in another;
slut ihem in parks and let the stock
horn which 1 expect to get my winter
layers have free range.
Perfect comfort and proper fond, plen-
ty of pure air. summer conditions re-
prvxlucc,I in fall and winter is the key
0c 1 :e whole situation. The first cold
rail,, should find the pullets in winter
