Their development and management during the critical time just preceding and during the winter laying period requires careful attention to many details. After the range has become depleted, cabbage, swiss chard, or other green feed should be added to the ration and continued throughout the winter months. Green feed aids in egg production and helps to prevent diseases, especially colds and roup. Skim milk or buttermilk in the ration is also an aid in producing winter eggs and maintaining the health of the flock. Sudden changes In feed are to be avoided. The house should be clean, well ventilated and roomy. Leghorns reat least three square feet of quire floor space and six inches of roosting space. The heavy breeds need more space. Pullets need a great deal of fresh air. The house should have 15 to 25 square feet of open space In front for each bundred pullets. This space is kept wide open except in very windy or severely cold weather when It may be partly closed by lath wind bafflers. The skillful poultryman will move the pullets into winter quarters before they begin to lay and will keep them perfectly free from lice and mites and other sources of annoyance. d 1 Fattening of Poultry for Holiday Markets The chickens that are fat will be the ones that will bring the highest price on the market during the holiday trade. Always the fat ones are bought before the poor ones. So warns D. H. Hall, extension poultry husbandman, Clemson college, in discussing the fattening of poultry for market The fattening ration of birds is very You have simple, says Mr. Hall. enough protein to build up muscle, but the carbohydrates content should be high. A soft feed or mash should be fed in order to make the muscles as soft as possible. The following ration will make a good fattening food: 50 pounds corn meal, 25 pounds wheat bran, 25 pounds middlings. Mix the above with two parts buttermilk. When buttermilk Is not available, meat scrap can be mixed with this ration at the rate of 15 pounds per 100 and water used to moisten the mash. Young fowls stand confinement well, but old hens do not It is best to fatten young fowls in coops and old hens In small runs. A fowl on fattening ration should gain from 50 to 90 per cent of its own weight. Changing Litter Often Gives Healthy Results watch your Bowels! What should women do to keep their bowels moving freely? A doctor should know the answer. That Is why pure Syrup Pepsin Is so good for women. It just suits their delicate organism. It is the prescription of an old family doctor who has treated thousands of women patients, and who made a special study of bowel troubles. Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is made from fresh, laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients. It doesnt sicken or weaken you. No restrictions of habit or diet are necessary while taking it. But its action is thor--' ough. It carries oft the sour bile and poisonous waste. It does everything you want it to do. It is fine for children, too. They love its taste. Let them have it every time their tongues are coated or their skin is sallow. When youve a sick headache, cant eat, are bilious or sluggish ; and at the times when you are most apt to be constipated, take a little of this famous prescription (all druggists keep it ready in big bottles), and youll know why Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the favorite laxative of over a million women!

Ultra Violet Rays Windows should be hinged so that the sun can shine directly onto the hens, because the sunlight coming through glass loses the ultra violet rays.

Do not forget this. .Do not force your birds to pick over and try to eat out of litter which is largely composed of dust and dried hen manure. Change the Iittler frequently. It is a labor, a trouble, and an expense; yes, but It is the only way to do, if you want the best results with your poultry. Whether the floors of your house are of boards or cement, do not let them become damp.
