After years of poultry experience, I find 
that the two most important factors in suc¬ 
cessful Winter egg production are six square 
«« of floor space and plenty of straw, with 
halt the feed usually given. This spells 
eggs, provided all the other needs are at¬ 
tended to. I consider the straw of wheat 
equal in value to the grain for poultry.
