About all we could do was to raise a flock of good pullets for winter egg production. Any man who has tried raising poultry knows that the last few months have called for extra effort on our part. But the time will soon be here when we are going to reap what we hsve been sowing, writes J. W. Recknor, Jr., In the Farm and Ranch. The pullets will shell out the eggs and the price will ,soar higher as cold weather comes Ion. Our dull months, you see, have been our hard-working months. But to reap what Is due us we must not lay down on the job how as cool weather approaches. The thing to do Is to get everything In the best shap? possible to clean up some cash this winter. The merchant puts his store in the best shape possible, deans up and Improves as much as he can. so as to be prepared for the fall business. Here Is where his profits pile up. During the dull season he gets by, perhaps, but he counts on the business this fall for extra profits. Clean up the old store. That is, cull out the nonproducers from the flock. Get rid of the drones. Keep nothing on the yards except moneymakers. Turn all the shoddy goods to the market man. and hit the fall anO winter months with a flock of healthy, vigorous bread-winners that bring In the dough. If you have a large flock and you are afraid to do the culling, then get the assistance of some one who has had some experience. It pays to cull. Tou get the same number of eggs on less feed and house room. The nonlayers eat up your profits and crowd the producers Get rid of them. If you are not feeding the birds as you should, get them on a good ration at once, as the pullets must be In condition to lay. If you have bred-to-la.v chickens and you have done your part In keeping the pullets growing all summer and you continue to give them the right kind of attention, you need not fear but what yon will be reward ed this fall and* winter with a heavy egg production." Feeding right has much to do with a laying hen. She can't lay unless her food contains all the elements that go to make up an egg, and In the right proportions at that An egg ration will have to be fed through the winter. It might pay to look Into your feeding methods Sometimes, by doing this, a mistake can be detected befofe It Is too lata Handling of Pullets in Autumn Requires Skill No one thing requires more skill than the correct handling of a flock of pullets so that a maximum yteld of eggs may be obtained all winter. First of all, the birds must be fat. as this gives them the necessary strength and endurance. To have them fat, large quantities of hard grain must be fed. Three-fourths of the food they consume should be hard grain. It Is not as important during the latter part of their development that they have as much mash as when ready to lay. If milk Is fed, very little mash Is neces sary. They should have plenty of green food at all times. When the first eggs sre found on the range, at least one-third or onehalf of the birds best developed should be placed In their winter quarters. If the birds are allowed to remain very long on the range after starting to lay, the change to winter houses Is sure to check them and may cause a fsll molt. When the remaining birds show maturity, they should be put in winter quarters also. Caution in Culling Is Urged by a Poultryman Practically every rule has Its exception. Uarly molting birds are poor layers," say experienced poultrymen. This Is true la the main, but there are exceptions. N. H. Ohapman, poultryman with the agricultural extension service, University of Minnesota, points out that many farm flocks went into s premature molt early in June because of lack of feed, hot poultry houses at night, and depredations of mites. Dgg production by these flocks fell off rapidly, but as sufficient feed Is supplied and poultry houses properly ventilated and the mites exterminated, the flocks are gradually Increasing production. "When culling such flocks, each hen ah on Id be carefully studied for evidence that the molt Is about to subside," says Mr. Chapman. "The best hens will come back and they ought to have their chance. The poorest ones will, of course, continue to molt and should be discarded." MANY ACCIDENTS CAN BE AVOIDED Drivers and era Do Many Things Endangering Their Lives. In spite of the great number of accidents which have resulted from gasoline explosions, drivers and garage workers continue to do things which endanger not only their own lives, but also the lives and property of others. It seems needless to caution against the use of matches, cigars, cigarettes, and other open flames near gasoline, or near oil-soaked rags and clothing. In drawing or pouring gasoline from one container to another, static electric sparks may be developed. It Is advisable always to keep the two containers in contact with each other, or to attach a chain to the pouring container which will maintain the contact. This will lead off the electric charge and prevent sparking. Sparks often result from striking together two pieces of metal. It is best to use kerosene Instead of gasoline when cleaning oil and grease from metal parts. Carry Fire Extinguisher. Every motor vehicle should carry a tetrachloride fire extinguisher. For garage use probably the best fire extinguisher is one of the foam type. Never use water on a gasoline or oil fire; It will spread the flre. A mixture of sawdust and soda (about ten pounds of bicarbonate of soda to a bushel of sawdust) Is good to put out oil fires. Sand is also used effectively. The drip pan, side pans, and car In general should be kept clean and free from excessive oil. If present, excessive oil may do much to spread the flames In case of fire. If extension cords are used for portable electric lights, It Is necessary to guard against electric shock and fires resulting from electric causes It is therefore advisable to use vapor-proof fittings, a keyless socket, lamp enclosed In a vapor-proof globe and further protected with a rigid cage to prevent breakage. It is also advisable to have armored cable Instead of ordinary electric cord; this should be kept in good condition. Getting Under a Car. When it is necessary to jack up the car and get underneath, be sure the car Is held up securely. Be especially careful if any of the wheels have_been removed. Block tile other wheels to keep them from moving. If the support should give way, the car may fall and crush you. Lt Is best to use a pit if iKissihle. Never depend on Jacks when It is necessary to get under car. Horses are better supports than Jacks, ordinary boxes, or blocks. Remember, the brakes are not operative when the rear wheels are jacked up off the ground. When In the garage, the engine shoura not be run longer than necesr sary. Carbon monoxide Is contained n the exhaust gases, and unless the arage is fairly well ventilated may .use headaches, other discomforts, anjd even death to the persons in the garage. If you haven't a self-starter, be careful not to break your arm when cranking. Always pull the crank up, not down.
