To Get Eggs All Winter.

A flock of early hatched pullets - with a comfortable house free from vermin, with proper ventilation, a scratch pen and box of grit, all grain buried in litter, will do nobly during the whole winter, but the roosts must be sprayed with kerosene oil twice a week; their Bodies dusted each month with good Insect powder, plenty of fresh drink at comfortable temperature, green feed such as sliced beets, steamed clover, # or loose cabbage to pick at freely, all the green cut bone with clean, fresh, sweet adhering nrjrat that they will eat at one meal twice a week must be supplied. A mash of middlings with on© part in three of corn meal in zero weather stirred thick enough to be crumbly, oats or Avheat at night except in zero weather when corn should be fed warm at night are also excellent, provided only about two-thirds as much as will be eaten up clean in ten minutes is fed at a time. Pullets require more than hens and Leghorns less than heavier breeds.
