Getting Eggs in Winter from a Rural Correspondent

Homemade heater keeps drinking fountain from freezing
A Farm and Home reader describes a simple, cheap heater for an outdoor drinking fountain. A wooden box sized for a lamp from a brooder is drilled with multiple holes to vent heat, lined with tin, and fitted with a front viewing hole and hinged door to prevent freezing water.
Protecting Bees With Improvised Ventilated Covers
A Bee Culture correspondent describes making winter bee hive covers warmer by filling the space between boards with chaff or packing. He details a method: nail a narrow wood strip over the opening, insert chaff through a custom trough, press it in with a thin board, then repeat on the other side and seal with another strip of wood.
POULTRY NOTES
Pellets that are forced to lay early seldom make good layers. Good sized combs denote an eke laying breed. Nest boxes must prevent roasters. Fresh meat and bone is better fed early. Scattering lime around the poultry house prevents roup. A southern scratching pen pays off. Chopped clover and hay substitute green food. Use only mature birds for breeding. Millet seed nourishes hens and aids fertility. Every farmer should raise some.
