HOW TO GET EGGS IN WINTER 93 



rule. They require rather different treatment. If 

 you are going to keep over a number of extra good 

 hens to use as breeders in the Spring, they should 

 not be forced as hard as the pullets. Fowls forced 

 for eggs are not in proper condition to make good 

 breeding stock when the breeding season comes. 

 All the other left-over stock should be disposed of 

 before the pullets are put into winter quarters. 

 They will bring low prices if kept until November or 

 December. 



It will be seen from all this that there is no royal 

 road to winter egg production. It is all a question 

 of properly hatched hens, properly reared and prop- 

 erly fed. The requisites are not numerous, after 

 all, but they are exceedingly important.
