scratch feed to the astonishment of myself and neighbor these pullets be gan laying in december and kept us in fresh eggs during the balance of the winter and not a single pullet went into molt some months later i happened to mention the matter to a poultry ex pert he merely laughed and replied nothing remarkable about that in fact i always make it a rule to feed corn to my freerange pullets as soon as the extremely hot weather is past and i continue to feed it liberally until the fowls are placed in winter quar ters by such a system the pullets put on sufficient flesh to begin winter laying without experiencing a loss of vitality and thereby escape the win ter molt as long as the young stock is on free range there will be plenty of bugs worms weedseeds and waste grains about to balance all the corn they will consume and it is almost impossible at that period to induce them to eat more of it than is good for them the time to cut down on corn in the poultry ration is when the flock is
