Winter Eggs Are the Earliest The secret of winter egg produc tion ii aolved by early hatching, in the opinion of specialists of the United States Department of Agricul ture. The pullet that is hatched early is ready to lay when the egg supply is lowest and prices are highest Chickens hatched before April 30, if they are properly cared for, will prove to be revenue producers at the time when high prices prevail To some extent the poultrymen of the country have overlooked this simple fact. For one thing, birds hatched later in the spring or summer do not become broody until late the following sea son, and thus an unprofitable circle is formed. Each year pullets mature too late to produce in the fall and winter, and they sit too late for their Feeding Ducks. There is good money in raising ducks, providing it is properly under stood how to feed them and take care of them. Ducks should be grown as quickly as possible, should be raised where there is plenty of shade, and it is not necessary that there be any water, such as a pond, in which they might swim. Thousands of ducks are raised yearly that never saw any water to swim in. Wet mashes are used chiefly to produce quickest growth. The following ingredients should be mixed into a mash and fed, moistened -nough to make it crumbly. Ducks for the first two weeks should receive their feed five times a day. A ration of two parts bran to one part cornmeal, one-half part middlings and 5 per cent sharp sand, ia very good growing ration for the rst two weeks. From the third week to ma turity a ration of two parts bran, one part cornmeal, one part middlings, 10 per cent commercial meat rcrap and 5 per cent of sand should be given. The young ducklings should be al lowed free range at. all times. When properly fed the eighth week marks the time to force for rapid maturity. They should then be confined and fed the following rations: One part bran, one part cornmeal, one part middlings, one-half part meat scrap and 5 per cent sharp sand, this ration being given four times a day. In addition a little green feed should be given. By twelve weeks they should be ready for market. POULTRY WHITE Wyandotte., headed by Flahel cock erel..

Laid by Hatched Chickens offspring to do any better. The poul tryman who wishes to get really good returns from his flock must break this circle. The growing use of incubators hat made this comparatively easier. There is no reason why incubators should not be filled in March and early April and the hatching over before May 1. ' Results at the government poultry farm in Maryland show that it is not unusual to get a daily average (of one egg for every , five hens throughout the fall and winter, and in some pens the average has been as high as one gg for three birds. If anything like this percentage could be obtained by the, ordinary poultry rairer he would derive real benefit from the high prices which eggs invariably bring for a period of several months. Lamp Troubles. Most of the troubles experienced wtih incubator and brooder lamps are due to either dirty burners or poor kerosene. Burners should be boiled in lye and vinegar at regular inter vals and nothing but the very best grade of incubator oil that can be ob tained used. Dirty lamp bowls are dangerous from their liability to ex plode. Always keep a good sized .quare of cloth on hand and wipe the tops and sides of the lamps perfectly clean after each filling. The perforated dies around the wick tube must be clean, and ir. place. It sometimes be comes coated with an invisible film of oil which shuts off the lamp's supply of air and causes it to smoke. A new burne.- for each size of lamp that is in use should be on hand, for one will sometimes become bent or jammed and unsatisfactory to use. A perfect Junction between burner and heater must be effected in the varie ties of incubators that use no chim ney or the lamp will smoke. If such happens and you suspect the burner, cut out a ring of asbestos to form a washer between the two and if the lamp's burning is improved a new burner is probably necessary. Al ways use a new wick for each hatch or brood of chicks, no .matter how long the old wick is. If a brooder or incubator smokes badly, the heater, flues and smoke exhaust must be thoroughly cleaned or the machine will heat up but indifferently. Use a strong solution of sodu, ammonia powder and soft water to remove the deposits of soot. Use a very handy table in the incubator cellar for turn ing eggs and filling lamps that is made by nailing short legs in the cor nets of a large shallow box. The top is covered with a white table oil cloth which is used to rest the egg trays upon and is easily kept fresh and clean. An extra flap of oil-cloth is tacked to one end and after the eggs are turned, it is turned over and used for filling and trimming the lamps. Digestive Trouble. About two years agr my hens started dying, one every little while. First, they act drowsy, then their combs get bluish and they stand around all drawn up and lose in weight til! they don't weigh scarcely anything. They seem to have a yel lowish diarrhoea and finally die. They have full range and have been fed ground corn and oats, bran, skim milk and cooked potatoes. Mrs. J. F. C, Nebraska. Your fowls are suffering from di gestive trouble. It is due to the ra tion you are using. Would advise you to eliminate the cooked potatoes and to give the fowls a greater variety of feed. The ration you have been giv ing them is too forcing and too con centrated. Would discontinue feed ing wet mashes. Feed as a grain feed one part of corn, one part of wheat, one part of oats. Feed as a dry nnsh one part of bran, one part of torn meal, one part of middlings, one part of ground oats, one part of corn glu ten feed. The above proportions are by weight. Give the fowls free range. To improve the condition of the di- ?;estive system a tonic, such as the ollowing, will be beneficial: Pulver ized gentian, one pound; pulverized ginger, one-fourth pound; pulverized iron sulphate, one-half pound. These substances can he procured from a drug store and mixed by yourself. Use two to three tablespoonfuls of Epsom salts to each quart of the drink ing water and follow this for two weeks with one-eighth grain of strychnine to each quart of drinking water, and you should notice marked improvement. Incubator Lamps. Strict attention to the lamps is a very important portion of the ooera- tor's duties. Only the very best brands ot kerosene should be used, and the wicks should be properly trimmed and cleaned at regular in tervals. The burners should be boiled as often as is necessary and be kept clean and bright If the wicks are allowed to become encrusted or dirty imperfect combustion will follow, and as a result the lamp will smoke and the formation of soot will take, place on the side of the chimney and in time will fall down and put out the light With the above precautions properly understood there should be no necessity to attend an incubator after it is regulated at night till early the next morning. Always use a new wick for the beginning of a new hatch. At the end of the season al ways empty out the kerosene; other wise it will volatilize and pass up through the heating jacket into the egg chamber and saturate the walls. Very often this is is the reason for an incubator smoking when it is first started. - PET STOCK PEDIOREED Bnaton terrlara, pupa and grown atock, doga and atud.

My hens do not sit early, and later they usually want to all sit at once. t is almost too expensive to buy a brooder for the few chicks I wish to raise. A good portable hover is not ex pensive and will give good results. If you buy baby chicks and have a few broody hens you can brood the chicks with the hens and save loss of time in setting hens. Prevent Roup. I Colds and roup cause more trouble among the young chicks at this season than with the adult fowls. The main causes are damp brooders and roosting coops. Large, roomy, well heated brooders, with plenty of light and a deep litter in which the chicks are kept busy scratching, are the best preventative measures. Chicks hatched from roupy stock are especially susceptible to- these trou bles, but the proper sort of brooding will bring them through O. K. In case of trouble 'with colds, the first step in order is an improvement of the brooder or roosting coop quar ters. Next disinfect the drinking water and rub the heads of affected chicks with camphorated vaseline. Bad cases should be killed at once and their bodies burned. Colds are a rare exception in flocks, brooded by the coal brooder by the coal brooder stoves, as these supply a constant ventilation, with plenty of heat, and are of necessity installed in roomy, well lighted brooders, with plenty of head room. , Egg Eating. Egg eating is a bad and expensive habit of confined flocks, but it is easy to cure when you know how. Sim ply take a flat fine file and file the end of the bird's beak down to the quick just far enough to show pink and be tender without bleeding. Leave a few china nest eggs in nests and on floor. By theNtime the egg-eater's beak grows hard again tha bad habit will be cured. The same treatment helps to stop feather pulling. Taking Care of Baby Chicks. Baby chicks most be thoroughly taught the lesson that there is heat underneath the hover of the brooder and they must come to it to be warm ed up when cold or chilled. When brooding large flocks about the popu lar colony stove brooder this can be accomplished with a minimum of trouble to the operator and the chicks kept under constant control by the use of a strip of stiff half-inch mesh galvanized netting one foot wide and about twenty-five feet long. This is set on edge in a circle surrounding the chicks about the stove. If it is wished to crowd them up close under the hover the ends are pulled past each other and the diameter hi the wide circle diminshed. At feeding time it can be expanded to its full size and the chicks allowed to spread out a short distance from the stove. There will be little trouble and loss from chicks piling up in cold corners before they become brooder broken if this little device is used from the first four or five days of brooding. Also less constant attention will be necessary, for the poultryman can leave even newly hatched chicks for several hours at a time and be as sured that none will wander away from the stove and become chilled. A shorter strip of wire can be used to advantage about small portable hovers in the same manner and when the poultpyman has a dozen or so appliances upon his hands in early spring their aid will prove very wel come indeed. f Secondary Equipment This spring when time comes to invest in the smaller articles neces sary to care for the flocks properly, consider the point that money will be saved, the daily routine of. poultry work lightened and the premises greatly improved in appearance by adapting some uniform and durable material for such utensils. Troughs, mash hoppers, nests, brood coops and drinking pans of galvanized metal cost but a little more than those made of wood, are far more sanitary and sightly, resist decay and, with ordi nary care, will last a much greater period of time. Articles of this ma terial, moreover, will be stored awav when not in use, vai they usually nest together closely, take up but very little space, while those of wood are generally left in the yards from year to year. Egg Shortage. The Canadian government is urg ing increased production of good poultry and eggs. The establishment and operation of large hatcheries is to be encouraged.. During 1916 Can ada shipped nearly -8,000,000 dozen eggs to Great Britain. In spite of large shipments of eggs from the states and from Canada, the British market is still shprt on eggs and has a good demand for many million dozen more. This should be a good year for egg farmers. Four Thousand Postmasters Put On Classified List Washington, March 31.

Mixed with water It makes a solution which is applied to eggs during incubation ; it soaks into the shell and supplies oxygen lor the growing chick; absorbs the carbonic acid gas given oft by the chick; further, by its action on the animal matter of the shell, it rots or disintegrates the shell, making it mora porous and brittle. Up to the hatching point, a chick breathes through Innumerable Diood vessels located in tne inner memorane just wiimn tne sneu. Close the pores of the shell and the chick quickly dies. Partially close then and the chick is weakened just the same as if partially strangled. If, at the same time, the shell is drying out and becoming harder, tougher and non-porous, a point ia reached where the chick is too weak to break out of the tough shell. EGG-O-HATCH changes all this by keeping the shell porea opens making brjttle the shell; supplying the chick with extra oxygen and quickly absorbing and getting rid of the carbon dioxide.
