Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Egg Question Solved
The fact is, to have any number of fresh - laid eggs in the winter, the hens must be actually compelled to lay them - for they will not lay them ordinarily. It is not natural for them to lay in winter simply because condi tions are not conducive to a full egg yield. There are several reasons for this the most apparent of which is declining or dying Nature, which deprives the hen of seeds, green foods, insect life, and the natural 'warmth of summer; for all of which substitutes must be sup plied that will not only take their place but so invigorate the hen as to overcome the natural influences.
