The pullets shined be comfortably and permanently lumeed in the fall; transferring mature pullets to a strange pen defers egg -production. 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), should be iloparated from the laying hens cued kept in good health and medium fleali, but not led for winter laying. In February or March they should be Mated with a suitable coelowel, and their rations them:lased so as to being them into laying cte the thee when their eggs are requir- ed for Inttcheng, Sllell 0. process of selection would soon produce a par-, ticularly fine strain or winter layers.
