GREAT BATTLE EXPECTED.
Of the groat movement which Gen.

against Liao -Yang, the only news
conies from Russian sources. Much
of this is two or three days old, and
is apparently based on information
from the natives. The position in

Early winter leying demands liberal
feeding, which included in addition
to the grain, waste meat or animal
food, and legotable food. From two
flocks of .1358red Plymouth Rock pul-
lets thet were liberally fed from
birth for early inatterity at the Bond-
yille, (Inc., Illustration Station eggs
were gathered dimity after the pullets
were four months ancl one weelE old.
Experinienth al the 'Utah Experiment
Station showed' that the profit from
young' hene or pallets waS abollt five
times greater than that from hens
thew to four years old. Not only
did the old hens lay considerably
fewer eggs, but the eggs were worth
lees per dozen. This is accounted for
hy the fact that the pullets laid a
larger proportion of thole eggs in
winter,
WHEN THE PRICE WAS GOOD.
When tlie pullets aro forced for win-
ter egg production, there should be
kept in addition another breeding jam
of selected fowls from which to ether
the chicks. A hen or pullet that
commencee to lay in the spring will
at that time produce stronger -germed
eggs for belching then will another
that has had her vitality impaired by
winter laying.
The farmer should select from 'the
flock of pullets ten oe twelve of the
bmt winter layers, placing a regular
leg hand or a piece of wire around
the leg of oach. Tho next winter
these pullets, (1(100 yearling hens),
