�� Getting By in Lean Months.
isEvery chicken man knows October
!
j the lean month with the hens. It is
When going over the hens in the;
late fall to eliminate the undesirable,
breeders, there are a number of de-'
Snits things that we should look for.;
First of all, it should be the pur
pose, in examining the birds, to be''
sure that they are physically fit; in;
other words, that they show no signs,
of disease, either past or present,
which would incapacitate them as fu-!
ture layers and breeders.
The eyes should be examined care -1
fully for evidences of roup and colds.
The inside of the month and throat
should be examined for evidences of
canker. The general fleshing of the
birds should be determined to see that
they are holding up well in weight.
The condition of the feathers in the
vicinity of the vent should be exam-
ined to see that the birds are free
from diarrhoea or any ovarian dis-
orders, which might be responsible for
the laying of imperfect eggs. •
Do not fail, when making the final
examination, to look the birds over,
from a breeding standpoint, to see'
that they possess no noticeable defects,'
such as squirrel tail, side sprigs,'
stubs and other standard breeding de-,
feces which might be passed on to the
future generation of chicks.
We must always remember that it,
is the standard -bred birds which pos-'
sess production qualities for which
there is the greatest demand and the
most profit.
When looking over these hens, all
of which are superior birds, because
they have stood the test of an all-
summer culling, be sure to lay special
emphasise upon a few very important
characters which designate their pro-
ductive capacity.
Pick those hens, first of all, that
have good big bodies with great body,
capacity; good width of back, with the
width carried well back; a back which
is free from targe accumulations of
fat. Be sure and select birds with
bodies that are deep, front and rear.
Select ones that have large, soft ab-'
the month when one derives the least:
income from the flock, primarily be-,
cause production is ac its lowest end.
Our birds are laying an average of;
between twelve and thirteen eggs each;
during the month of September, butt
in October they will drop rappoly until
they are only laying round six or
seven eggs a bled per month. This
means a decrease in revenue of nearly,
a half.
This being the case, it brings home
to us the desirability of working out a
scheme of poultry management where-
by we will spread out our income to
supplement the meager returns re-
ceived from eggs.
There are two ways of doing it: i
Hatch some earlypullets next year,
have them come into lay along in,
August and, they will be up round a'
50 per cent. production in October,'
thus giving in this month of low pro-'
duction but high prices a heavy egg
production.
Then the second way of accomplish-;
ing this same purpose is to try and di-
versify our source of income. Though
our egg production must be the big
end of the business, yet if one has suf-
ficient range and can grow a few hun- {
dred extra pullets there is always a!
ready market for them in October. 1
When the pinch comes, as it has
right now, let us make a resolution to
get more eggs in October another year;

it should be. Undoubtedly one of the
best remedies for such a condition of
affairs is co-operation on the part of
the growers themselves.
Surely the man without a silo has
more reason to be concerned about the
weather these days than has he who
possesses one. -

colored shades are to a room what
trimming is to a dress. They add the
little spots of color which show that
someone has been thoughtful and
painstaking.
Fortunately, there are still possibil-
ities left outside of the regular chan-
nels, and it is to these that we must
turn. Often an old brawn or gray
jug of our grandmother's day will
furnish the base.
Sometimes a pottery vase or deep
bowl can be secured that has a wide
enough mouth to make a generous -
sized oil reservoir and can be con-
verted into a regular oil -burning lamp.
These bowls and vases come in a
variety of sizes and colors: nice
browns, tans, and buffs, some in
brighter colors—blues, yellows, greens
and reds. They are all good, provided
you use them so that both base and
shade harmonize with the rest of the
color scheme.
In the blue and brown or blue and
tan room there is nothing better for
the base than soft brown or tan, with
the shade in parchment, -cloth, or silk
of lighter tan and banded or trimmed
with blue. Sometimes even a bright
red base may used, provided there
is a good deal of corresponding red

Lastly, do net forget the head. The

to the selection of the breeds this felli
