Precocious Pullets 
I have Homo Single Comb White Leg¬ 
horns hatched March 21. 1922; began 
laying August 5. Should I pul them in 
laying house now? Is there any danger 
of their going into molt by such early 
laying aud not laying this Winter? If 
there is, can you tell me how to prevent 
it ? w. F. L. 
Yes, there is considerable danger of 
moltiug this Fall after a short period of 
egg production, in the case of these pre¬ 
maturely ripened pullets. They should 
have been held back when comb develop¬ 
ment and other evidences of premature 
maturing appeared, this checking being 
accomplished by withholding the mash 
fed, with the substitution of whole grain. 
March is too early to hatch Leghorns, 
late April or May being a better time. 
If well fed and cared for Leghorns will 
begin to lay shortly after becoming five 
months of age, and they should not be 
laying in August. Thesd pullets may be 
checked in their egg-laying now, as sug¬ 
gested above, but molting will be likely 
to follow the change in their ration. Very 
probably you have only a few now lay¬ 
ing; hold the rest of the flock back by 
reducing or cutting out the high protein 
masli fed and substituting whole grains 
for a time. Removiug the meat scrap 
from the mash when evidences of pre¬ 
mature maturity develop will also check 
this untoward development. Wbeu chicks 
of different ages must be kept together it 
is difficult to push the later ones to 
maturity at the desired time without 
ovprdoiug the matter in the case of the 
earliest hatched. M. b. d. 
DON’T let the coal situation bother you. You 
can keep your home warm and comfortable— 
every room, all winter—with WOOD, if you have 
one of these durable heaters that bum EITHER

Brooder with Coal Stove 
Would you advise regarding coal stove 
brooder, the number to keep under one 
stove, the size of building best suited, 
and how to prevent chicks piling up? 
Pennsylvania. F. u. n. 
A brooder stove may be run in any 
building large enough to give room for 
it. and the chicks, though less than 100 
square feet of floor space would not/be 
suited to a flock of 800 or more after 
the chicks had become several weeks of 
age. Flocks up to 1.000-chick size are 
successfully brooded under one stove, but 
there are serious objections to keeping 
that number of small chicks together, 
and better results will be obtained if not 
more than 300 chicks tire brooded, fed 
and cared for about one stove. This is 
not because a single stove cannot furnish 
sufficient heat for more than that num¬ 
ber iu a suitable building, but because 
larger flocks handicap the less vigorous 
members iu many ways. 
Piling up of clucks is due either to 
insufficient beat or to fright, or, if the 
habit is once acquired, to habit. It is 
most frequently the result of insufficient 
heat and, when it is observed, the warmth 
of the quarters should be increased until 
the chicks spread out over the floor about 
the stove. A flock may be frightened by 
•uttering their quarters with a lantern at 
night, or by other disturbance, and made 
to huddle iu corners. M. B. D.

A well-drained dirt floor should prove 
satisfactory for a time, though rats will 
burrow through it after a while and the 
fowls will dig deep holes in their wallow¬ 
ing You will probably uot be content 
with it long. Matched flooring, placed 
vertically, will make studding unneces¬ 
sary. but I ft. lengths would be too short 
in the rear. You should have at least 
1 % ft., and better 5 ft. of head room 
there. Two by four scantlings are pretty 
light for long rafters, though they might 
answer if well supported at their centers. 
Two by six timbers would be better. 
Window sash of standard house sizes 
should lie used, and in> curtains are 
necessary. From oue-folirth lo one- 
third of the front wall may be in glass. 
It is not necessary to double board over 
the perches if the walls are airtight, 
though double hoarding in the rear aud 
overhead is often practiced. Droppings 
boards will tie quite necessary if a flirt 
floor i§ used. A poultry-house IS ft. 
deep will In* very satisfactory, though a 
depth of 20 ft. is none too great. With 
a center support, tin* rafters may he iu 
two pieces, thus avoiding the necessity of 
purchasing unusually long scantlings.
