Rules For Caring For To successfully,, wiuter poultry there are a number of-. points in their" care that should lie watched closely.. Ross M. Sherwood of the Kansas Agricul tural college poultry department men tions the following rulea as those that should be given special attention dur ing the wiuter season! Vatering pans should be emptied at night to prevent freezing. A slight increase In egg production, may be obtained by feeding the chick ens a warm mash once daily, but care must be taken not to have tbe feed too hot. t Either keep the birds In tbe house all the time or let them have free range. Letting them out one week and then keeping themf in' one week is sure to cut down the egg yield. Green feed stimulates digestion and gives egg yplka a richer color, Poultry bouses should be free from drafts aud dampness. Fresh air aud sunshine are two of the best disinfectants. Dropping boards should be cleaned t,leqst once a week, Litter on the floor should be removed ks soon as .it beepmes damp. For tbe best egg yields do not neg lect tbe protein feeds, such as butter milk and meat scrap. Silage is a cheap form of succulence or green feed. THE PILGRIM SPIRIT.
