THE BREEDING PEN.
An Experts Views m to the Qualities

An Experts Views m to the Qualities
to BE Perpetuated.
In the making up of the breeding pen
there are number of very important
factors to be dealt with if success is to
be expected, and I will point out
few of the more important ones to be
dealt with, says Rev. c. E. Petersen In
American Poultry Advocate.
No birds should be used which are
not sexually mature, healthy and in
full vigor, as only from healthy and
mature stock can shealthy progeny
be expected.
If immature birds are used the prog
eny will suffer, which is proved year
ly by the markedly higher death rate
among the chicks hatched from such
immature stock birds.
Stock of advanced age should not be
used either. as, for reasons that are
obvious to the observer, no good results
can be expected.
There is no need for me to explain
that the chicks are in everything es;
sentiai the creatur of. their parents
and Of their ancestors; that it is on the
whole predestined by the nature Of the
germs from the combination OF which
the chicks emanate what they are tc
be-
This is good and sufficient reason
why the utmost care should be used il
the selection of breeding stock and in
formation as far as is possible obtain
ed as to the ancestry Of the. birds to be
used in the breeding yard, for by NJ
means everything that is given us is
good The parental germs themselves
may, to begin with, be possessed of in
herited deficiencies, or they may have
suffered by injuries which affected thu
parental body, or they may have beer
imperfect because of the immature o.
advanced age of the parents.
All kinds of malformations are he
reditary and should under no circum
stances be permitted in the breeding
pen, however slight, IS the tendency il
every instance is to eXaggerate thes
deformities.
[ said all kinds, whether Inherited O,
acquired, as the last kind will in tim;
become hereditary. and even if in 9th
er respects the bird should be desirable
leave it out of all consideration fo
breeding purposes, as the result in ;
very few generations will prove disas
tcous.
Equally unsuitable for prccreatiol
are specimens whose physical develop
meat is not complete or whose seXua
character is imperfectly marked. Va.
Remember that potency is just a
much hereditary as any other facult.
and is indeed of the greatest impo1
tance as this particular faculty is tn
rejxvenator of our strain. r
And wherever bird proves himsel
strong in this particular and gives ev
idence of continued strong potency fo
several generations such bird shoul
be treasured and his strong potential
ity bred into the strain. gFGp

How to Cor.fne LexhOrnS,,

The usual method of keeping Leg
horns is to confine them in yards hav-
ing fences about six feet high and with
reasonable yard room they will rarely
fly over, especially if there is no post
top above the wire for the birds. to
alight upon. Fowls almost never fly
directly over a fence, but fly up on to
the top Of it and then fly down. TAX
ing advantage Of this habit, it is easy
to stretch couple of strands Of wire
above the fence posts with slim stakes
to support them. When bird flies up
to light on the post top the wire pre-
vents, and the attempt is rarely re-
peated.

..stuhyv Houses Cause catarrh.

IOuSCS SauSC OAA<AHAAs
A writer in American Poultry Advo-
cate, in answering the inquiry of cor
respondent whose flock IS suffering
from acute catarrh, very sapiently OBJ
serves: Unless you handle the affected
birds carefully acute catarrh will run
into the roup stage. 1 have met many
cases of this character caused by too
little ventilation at night. Close, hot,
stuffy houses and coops are behind
many of these cases. The gospel of
fresh air is doing much to prevent ca
tarrh diseases in our birds. Increase
the amount Of air supplied your birds.
Do this by removing understanding
openings if needed-and cover with
wire netting to keep out vermin. Get
the chicks into large coops with wire
front. Let all birds out of the houses
in the early morning so that they may
pass more time in the pure outdoor air.
Add one-hundredth of grain of arse
mite of antimony to the days drinking
wafer Of every five birds and then add
just a film of kerosene oil to each yes
sell This is medicine enough.

DOCTORiNG A HORSE.
How Medicine May BE Given the AMI.
NAL without Injury.

NAL without Injury.
In giving liquid medicines to a
horse, says the Horse World, have the
medicine in a stout bottle with slop-
ing shoulder-an ordinary pop" bottle
does very well-and do not add any
more water to it than is necessary to
properly dilute it, as very large
drench is difficult to administer. Next
get the horse in good position SO that
he has to take his medicine. If the
construction of the stable permits it,
back him into a single stall, throw a
rome over the beam at the back, make
moose on the end of it, pass it under
the nose band of the halter and place
it in the horses mouth below, the upper
jaw.
Now raise the horses head until the
medicine will run back in the mouth.
Don't put it too high or the horse viii
have difficulty in swallowing and there
is danger of the medicine going the
wrong way. You can easily keep the
head in this position by holding the
rope in one hand while you pour in
the drench with the other. Pulling
out the tongue and squeezing and
humping on the throat are quite use
less as inducements to the horse to
swallow and may cause coughing.
Should coughing occur the head should
be released at once, even if the medi-
cine is lost, as otherwise it might get
into the lungs.
This is a much better and more hui
name way than putting up the head
with twitch. and a drench is usually
given without any difficulty.

Bad Habits In Poultry Culture

Eau HApItS III EOUHtry N<tAtuHS'
There are a few bad habits in poultry
culture Among those none are so in
furious as lack Of exercise, overfeed-
ing, overcrowding and the presence OF
insect vermin, says the Feather. The
union Of these four destroys many that
might Otherwise be prosperous focks.
and this can be traced to either the
ignorance or neglect Of the attendant.
Either or all should be blamed upon
the caretaker. In this day Of poultry
enlightenment no one can present q
reasonable excuse for ignorance, and
there cannot be any possible excuse
offered for carelessness or neglect.

Heavy Horses Profitable.
Heavy horses are more profitable
each year in spite of the gasoline en-
gine and the more common use of
steam. Well bred, heavy horses, serv-
iceably sound and we'll broken, sell
readily from $3.50 to 5000. Farmers
hesitate to buy light horses for farm
use. and after one has had experience
with a good heavy team he will never
go back to light horses for farm work.
no matter how much heavy stock
costs. Horses weighing 1,3Oo to lego
pounds are of ineStimable value on
any farm. Here is a suggestion for
farmers who can raise few colts
each year. Raise none but the best.
See that they are heavy horses of the
popular breed in your own community.
In many places Percherons are favor
ties. while in a few sections Shires
and Clydes are wanted. In many
places Belgians and Suffolks are be-
, coming popular These latter are
compact, very heavy and are giving a
good account of themselves wherever

Delaying Pu1lets' Maturity.

You can keep pullets back from lay
ing by moving them from one place to
another as soon as they show decided
~ retldening combs. A poultryman
who wants to get large size on his
Barred Rock pullets follows this plan
each season. with the result that he
holds them back an average of about
a month, he thinks, and when they dc
begin to lay they lay larger eggs than
do small pullets and keep right along
