It is of the utmost importance that fowls be well fed when they are shed- ding their old feathers and putting on the new ones so that they will have in their systems the different elements required to grow feathers. These feathers require a good many different elements for the building of quill, web and pulp that is found in the base of the quill. A hen which receives only certain kinds of food has difficulty in developing in her system the different things required to make the feather. Therefore, if these various things are not supplied in the food, the feather -process proceeds more slowly and at the same time places a greater strain en the system of the hen and ,in that way retards her recovery and makes it impossible for her to lay as soon as she other- wise would. If a variety of food, such as is ordinarily fed to those hens which are laying, is given the molt- ing fowls, their systems will have a chance to obtain the different ele- ments required and the molting pro- cess will go forward as Nature in- tended it should and the hens will °recover from the strain at the proper time and, equipped with a new coat to protect them from the cold of the coming winter, will produce eggs when the greatest profit on them is possible. Confinement in hot hen houses hastens the throwing off of the feath- ers, but retards the growing of new ones •because a ben which is not corn- f'ortable is not carrying forward the processes of digestion and develop- ment in her system that are required to grow, these neve feathers as they Y should be grown.
