WINTER POULTRY NOTES
Special Care Should Be (liven Fowls
During Cold Weather to Obtain
Best Results.
To obtain good results from a flock
of poultry during the winter all hous
es and coops should be put In good
condition, only healthy fowls placed
In the buildings, and good care given
to the poultry. The houses should
le thoroughly cleaned, disinfected,
and made tight for winter If the
house has a dirt floor, It is well to
remove three or four inches from the
"top and substitute fresh gravel or
sand. If the floor is cement or wood,
remove all litter and dirt and put in
4 or 5 inches of fresh straw or litter.
Be sure that the house is tight on
three sides aud that there is no
.hance for a draft to strike the hens.
If hens roost or are placed in a draft
during the fall and winter, cold3 are
sure to develop, which may result in
roup and other troubles. The south
tide, or front, of the poultry house
may be left comparatively open, but
should be under control, so that the
openings may be closed gradually as
the weather becomes cold. Have
muslin curtains in the front of the
house, or leave a window partly open
even on the coldest nights to allow
some ventilation in the house. Fowls
will stand considerable cold air pro
Tided it is dry, and ventilation will
keep the air thoroughly dry in the
house
The pullets should be brought In
off the range and put In winter quar
ters, but before they are mixed with
the older fowls be sure that the hens
are banded or that the wb of the
foot is punched in some way so as to
distinguish between the pullets and
the hens. In this way the older stock
may be culled out whenever it ap
pears desirable, and the young hens
kept for further laying. Cull the
chickens which are brought into the
laying house carefully," and fatten
and market all chickens which are
small, poorly developed, or in poor
condition. These small, poorly de
veloped chickens are apt to catch
cold if put in with the otner poultry,
and develop diseases which quickly
spread through the flock. Market all
surplus cockerels or older male birds
which are not desired for breeding
or not wanted for a later market.
Feed the grain in a deep litter on
the floor and make the hens exercise
for all their grain. The mash may
be fed either wet or dry, and should
be so regulated that the fowls will
get about equal parts of mash and of
scratch grains. It is necessary to give
the fowls plenty to eat to get good
results, but the birds should always
be eager for each feed. In cold
weather feed about one-third of the
scratch grains in the morning and
two-thirds at nipht. In this way the
hens are forced to exercise more than

if they receive all the grain they de
sire at the morning feed. Scratch
grains, mash or ground grains, ani
mal protein, green feed, grit and
shell should be supplied in the win
ter. A good scratch mixture may
be made of equal parts, by weight,
of cracked corn, wheat, and oats;
and a mash may be made of two
parts corn meal and one part each
of wheat bran, wheat middlings, and
beef scrap. Green feed, such as cab
bages, mangel wurzel beets, cut al
falfa, or sprouted oats, should be
supplied to replace the green feed
which the fowls have been securing
in the fields; and beef scrap, skim
milk, cut green bone, or some sim
ilar feed is needed to replace the
bugs which the fowls have been get
ting on the range. Beef scrap or
feed of this nature is very essential
in securing a good supply of eggs
during the winter months.
Clean the dropping boards at least
once a week, and spray the roosts
with kerosene or some commercial
preparation for killing mites once a
month during the winter. Have a
good supply of sand or dry dirt on
hand to use on the dropping boards
during the winter.
If any of the birds develop colds,
put as much potassium permangan
ate as will remain on the surface of
a dime into a gallon of water and
keep this mixture in their drinking
water for several days, or until the
symptoms of the colds have disap
peared Remove any sick birds from
the flocks as soon as they are noted
and treat them in coops by them
selves, or kill and bury them fi they
are not worth treating.
Examine the pullets and hens for
lice, and dust thoroughly with a good
insect powder or apply a mixture of
2 parts of vaseline and 1 part of mer
curial or blue ointment, about the
size of a pea, 1 inch below the vent
of the bird, rubbing the mixture
lightly on the skin. An application
of this ointment two or three times
a year will keep the fowls free from
lice. Where insect powder is used,
it should be applied three or four
times a year, or oftener if the fowls
become infested. Provide a small
box in the house partly filled with
dry road dust or fine dirt in which
the hens may dUBt, thus helping to
keep themselves free from lice.
Concrete on the Farm.
Concrete is becoming one of the
greatest factors of permanent farm
structures Water tanks, watering
troughs, sidewalks, floors, founda
tions, silos, and other farm struc
tures are being made of concrete.
"Are the necessary precautions being
taken to secure permanency at low
cost?" inquires Professor G. V. Skel
ton, who will discuss the properties
of cement, choice of sand and aggre
gate, economical proportions for dif
ferent purposes, waterproofing, mix
ing and placing, and estimates of
quantities and cost, at the 0. A. C.
Short Course January 10 to Febru
ary 4 next.
Whether the farmer is going to
make his own concrete or hire it
made, he should know the essential
properties underlying the making of
permanent and economical concrete
in order to obtain the best results.
The idea is too prevalent that "any
one can mix good concrete."
