EXTENSION HCTES
Livestock should have salt boforo them
every day. An animal will not maintain
a thirsty • condition without plenty of
salt and viator, regardless of what they
arc fed in hay and grain. If your stock
has boon without salt for seme time,
feed them salt in small quantities until
they again become accustomed to it.

If you arc having trouble getting your
s017s or gilts to breed, make certain
they are given plenty of exercise.
Don’t pen them up too closely, Givo
■them more range. Feed them some oat
and pea hay or some ground oats in
addition to their regular ration. Give
them salt and water, a mixture of equal
parts salt, fresh wood ashes and ground
limestone or bone meal makes a good
tonic for hogs,

Flocks of laying hens should have evening
and morning illucu nation in the laying
house, Hens without artificial light
do not have tine enough during cur short
winter days to rot the required exercise
and sufficient quantities of feed to
produce eggs which they arc capable of
producing,

A reflection made of tin and painted
heavily with silver, bronze paint will
help r. great deal in giving you better
light from your lantern. The light
should be placed so that it will shi.no on
the perches as well as on the floor.,
Although when the floor is well lighted,
if the porches arc dark, the hens wi-ll
often renain on the roost. The light
is best at about six feet from the floor,
******
One lantern should not he expected to
effectively light more than 200 square
feet of floor space.* A dim light for a
few minutes at night is very helpful to
the hens in getting onto the perches
without injury to themselves,
