Oakland will present it soon • *»a magnificent successor W a justly famous name • • .a New All-i / When the rough days of autumn and winter arrive, the hens begin to ii^nt about for comfort and protection from winter winds and snow. If the poultry house is cold, dark, and uninviting, It Is very unprofitable to the owner. It not only shortens up the egg supply, but next spring the hens go to work with a handicap because they have been poorly wintered. If we give the hens one-lialf the attention that we do our other stock they start making things count, says a writer In an exchange. Our poultry house is built for economy and comfort for the hens. We are strong believers in the scratching department, making} the hen work a lot. To do this we have all the floor space in the building arranged for bad days, for that is when they must work inside. We put up a gunny-sack curtain in front of the perches, which servos for two purposes. It keeps the hens warm when on the perches at night, and keeps them off the perches in the daytime. » Then we partition off the inside with this cheap burlap whifh breaks possible drafts, and also dirides the flock in their work for the aay. We also open the windows, and drop down a burlap curtain on bad days to keep ^out cold air, storms and beating winds. This burlap Is almost indispensable i* our poultry equipment, and we use much of it. Our front curtain to the main building is made from it, tacked upon frames so it can be raised or lowered as needed. On snowy, rough days the hens work happily away, more contented than if outside. It has always been our custom to set up a windbreak of cornstalks against the lee sides of the fences and (h^ west and north of the houses, and It is\ wonderful how the hens will take refuge behind this fodder barrage many winter days when the snow Is off. Consistent Layer Will Molt Late in Season Most hens stop laying when they begin to molt. It Is a fact no longer disputed that a hen, in order to make a high yearly record, must be a consistent layer. The early molting hen is pot a consistent layer. She takes all the fall months as a vacation for changing her plumage. The consistent layer molts late and grows her new plumage rapidly. The hen that under normal conditions molts early, will not lay as many winter eggs as the hen that molts late. Neither will she begin egg production earlier In the spring. No definite date can be set as to early molting. As a general rale, however, the first hens in the flock to molt should be sold, and the last to molt should be kept for breeding purposes. Hens may be thrown Into an early molt by starving while laying heavily; by irregular feeding; by roosting in a house that is poorly ventilated; or III any way that tends suddenly to check es? production. Molt from any of these causes should be avoided, as It Is likely to result In a lower total eggproduction. If the pullets are hatched early, they will be laying In the fall and thus the egg production kept op at all seasons.
