FEEDING FOR WINTER EGGS 79 



I want to say a word in favor of green bone for laying hens. 

 I believe it is more effective as an egg producer than any 

 other one thing that can be fed. Evefy poultryman whose 

 desire it is to get winter eggs should not fail to feed it.

 Note the Small Area of Glass. 



Cabbage and other green food is before my fowls almost 

 all the time and clover, grit, shells and charcoal are where 

 the fowls can reach them any time. Pure, fresh water is 

 provided frequently. Hens cared for in this manner will 

 not fail to produce their share of eggs in winter. None 

 of our varieties of Buffs have ever failed to lay a liberal 

 number of eggs in the severest weather. Don't expect 

 your hens to lay well unless you care for them well.

Good Ration. 



By D. W. Harberts, 



My method of caring for and feeding fowls for eggs in 

 winter is as follows: I have my houses warm and per- 

 fectly dry and large enough so there will be no crowding.
