Last winter rat thr, D1(ierinarubal farm n pet of 100 pullets whose per cent egg yield by mouths ranged front li percent in :November to 50 pet.. cent in April, an avetiage of 27, per uc L cent for the six months, prod et 0 d cents 'te• oz- eggs at cashof .. L d c l i'ag a en. The, percentage of egg yield de- termiees more than anything else the cost of .production, foriustanee, when the egg yield was 20 per. cent the con was 21 cents per cloven, and at 40 per eeet yield the cost Was only 10: edits, per down. This pen was selected as it was thought to lie e- qual. in preauction to • an average forth flock. The average do'sen ergs 'sold for 20 cents more, than the cost of feed required to produce it. Each lien gave fill cents over cost of feed in the six months, which, though not large, shows that' even at the high price of eced, eggs can he pro- duced at a profit. The prices paid for grain were local Ottawa prices and were high. The price received for the eggs vas 44 cents pet clown. This was net aS high as the local market and no higher than many' farmers ob- tained daring the same time. But the farmer in addition' might cut. down cost, for he has table scraps, milk and other feeds that may be used which were not available here. To make a profit this year,: business me- thods must be adopted and a few suggestions that may help follow. ;seep only the best Pullets for eggs and the 'best year old bens for breed- ing. For good dlieks must he pro- duced next- spring as well as eggs this winter. More than ever will it be advisable • to get rid of every- thing that does not produce. Market pullets nob uatured'enough to start laying before early winter. Sell all the liens that are more than two years old, also all cockereks that are not inteaded for breeding purposes. If the cockerels can be kept until later and well fed, a bigger price will be obtained, but better sell all now than take up space required by the early pullets.

Two or More of the.- .grains he:ggains may be mixed in equal propotr- tions for the grain rations, The mash may consist of ground barley and. oats, or bran .may be Added. If grain has to be purchased cracked corn is as cheap as anything and makessu' le ddition t any a atoll a n ) grain ration. Bran is as cheap a food as nee can buy' for the mash. The mash call be yeti dry .in a hopper or mixed with mill: and: fed moist i':nte a day. Any table scraps 'should be used in the mash. TI milk is not a- vailable, beef scrap or other animal food should be fed in the mash. In good heavy litter, feed a mixture of the grain so that they will alnat-is have some in til litter, but not so much that they eau get a crop full without scratching for it. In the Prairie Provinces, there is consider- able shrunken wheat available. Shrun- ken wheat if it is dry is as good a poultry food as wheat fit for hulling purposes, Care must be taken that it is not damp or otherwise spoiled. Shrunken wheat alone, if there is no other grain, will answer for the grain feed. For the mash, use titan, middlings or chopped oats. Elevator screenings', free from black seeds, make a good feed For either grant mash. ii alfalfa or clo- ver can be had, by all means give the leaves to the hens, In Central Can- ada, Ontario, and Quebec, grain is scarce and it is likely some will have to be purchased. IF there is feed wheat from the- west available, it should lie used. Cracked corn may. be purchased locally, such as 'barley and-buekwheat, might be used. Bran can be used is mash Iced and the good crop of clover in Ontario and Quebec will do much to cut down the cost of the ration. The clover may be led dry, or steamed and used In a Mash. In the Maritime Provin- ces where grain is usually purchased for the poultry, the saute advice may be given as that for central Canada net forgetting the clover and milk. If small potatoes rail be had for Poultry feed they may be boiled andfed in the mash. In every case, grit and shell should lie before the layers at all times, ,.Tu some: localities the grit ,:an he secured from the local. gravel pit and in other cases sufficient lime can he secured to dao without the commercial shell. If neither of these is available they should be procured and its niuclt given to the birds as they will eat. it floes not pay, to stint the lapere. If they do not get the feed they will not lay the eggs. As a role, a laying lien will not get too fat, 'therefore, feed the pullets well .IP green cut bane is available and there is no milk, the former may be fed to tile pullets at the rate of about half an ounce each per day. The proportion of grain and mash us- ua'Dy eaten is from two to four of gran; to one of mash, Seafortli. Mrs. Chas.
