THE GRANGERS (Continued from December 2ai.)- j Prof. Harry K. Lewis, with his topic, ' "Poultry for Profit," said in part: There is no better paying business fori this section of the country than poultry { for eggs. Tlie soil is well drained and | thus healthful, climat i- mild, permit!- | ing out of door range at almost all sea- ; sous. The only detriment as the high < winds making shelters and wind breaks , necessary. Quantity governs the price j of eggs hud the profit ties in having them j when the other fellow has none. That j is, to produce them out of the natural I season, to combat nature. The four essentials for winter eggs , are stock of the right sort, that is bred ! for laying and if a laying variety, I housing to secure best results, feeding t tor the end desired, and, having secured ! the eggs, to sell them for the best oh- i tamable price. ■ In aclccting the breed the demand of] the nearby market must be considered, j Thus Philadelphia pays most money for the white egg while Boston's call it for the colored. For white eggs the single comb white Leghorn is best for this locality, and ore a desirable sort in being great scratchers and foragers and can be kept at leas cost than any other. Pullets should be hatched early but there it the drawback that eggs in early spring are apt to have the infertile in majority and are too high priced to be aet when the dance is of 60 per cent being clear sad thus wasted. From the middle of March to the middle of May will give pullet* that with proper care win begin laying in October and beginning then Will continue through the winter. Hatching and brooding with the hen is of course beet in her being lees trouble and less lore, bnt for oommereial purposes this is not possible. Incubator ' ehieks may be weaker if not property hatched and there is loss in weight, the mature birds being amaller, but at ' Woodbine where all are artificially ' hatched and brooded the egg increase per hen has increased from 110 to 128. Th young stock should be made to de- j vtlop rapidly, that ii, without any set back. There should be free range for the 1 growing birds; lots of room and plenty Of shade and shelter, this last can be 1 made by brush if none exists naturally. The food should be a dry mash made up ■ - of ground oats, corn meal, oil meal and ! ' meat meal, always at hand in hoppers, 1 also plenty of shell, grit and charcoai. ' and abundance of water. They should be removed to the permanent house a 8 month before layj*!^~Utoe comes The besj hbuse for the county condi- i1 open front. That is witf ] T ^ "sides and back tight and the front \ 8 boarded up about three feet from the 1 ground And the rest of the space wire ; ' with a canvas curtain on spring rollers * for uae if ne^d be,' which will be but seldom. A good site is lfix 40 feet, 8 ft. ' at front sloping to 4 ft. at the back A longer house should be divided by canvas partitions to prevent draught. ( The apace per bird depends upon the r care taken. About 5 ft. square per bird u is good measure; less will do if there is j good care given. The floor should be free from nests and the dropping boards should be high up, so as to give the full space to the birds. The floor may be of dirt, boards or cement. The dirt floor is ; 0 'all right except that it will become " tainted and must be renewed, but it is 8 fr>od for dusting. The board floor is un- a desirably on every occasion. Concrete n h beat. Properly made it is vermin and * damp proof and is easily kept: In- t stead of one compact layer the latest 1 and approved way is to make a 4-inch C foundatkm' of concrete and over this put 8 a cover of building or tarred paper, fast ening it down with spikes. Then above this put a two-inch oover of cement j, and on this a cSver of fine sand and gravel. The building should be faced to secure the most sunlight possible The dropping bards should be kept cleared, •tin if the droppings are dry and healthy A slight accumulation does no harm. .Where the vard room is limited it >U,ti yard

be divided and a quick growing crop such as buckwheat or rye he in one to be fed off while that in the other is growing. At Woodbine there are 4000 hens on four | acres. The food ia the dry mash always 1 at hand and grain scattered in the litter ! ' "a* 10 a. m. The hoppers should be if ! signed to limit waste. Nothing equsie ( oil meal lor haalenig feather growth and , making the plumage look sleek. - ; , Broiler farming has never proved 1 profitable, but is best conducted as a side issue to the egg business. , 1 Houses can be kept clear of bee and * mites by sprayiflg or brushing monthly 1 with a mixture of crooline and kerosene.
