THE PROFITABLE AGE OF FOWLS.

THE PROF IT ABLE AGE OF FOWLS.
The question as to which is the
most profitable breed Of fowls, is very
frequently asked There are undoubt-
edly differences in breeds, but undue
Importance should not be placed upon
breed. The trap nest has shown that
there is more difference in individuals
than in breeds Breed isn't everything.
If a man starts in the poultry business
with 'the best breed" as he believes.
and has with it the notion that breed
is everything he will meet with newt
able failure. The breed may be all
right, but the fowls must be encour-
aged to do their best by good care and
management. When eggs are firm at
40 cents a dozen and the hens fail to
respond the owner is likely to become
unreasonable and take up with another
breed, and most likely the fault was
not in the breed The fault is usually
one of two things: Either the hens
are of a poor or non-productive strain
of the breed, or the management is
poor
1t is a point in management that l
wish to speak of here, one point in
many that must be taken into account
if poultry-keeping is to be made sue
cess 1t is a question of the most
profitable age of the hen. Poultry
men who have kept in touch with poul-
try Investigations during the past few
years are pretty we'll informed on this
point. but the importance of this sub
ject is not yet generally appreciated

The association is planning to go be-
fore the Legislature this winter and
make fight for poultry inspection for
the markets of the city. It is asserted
that this is the only line of food stuffs
that goes on the markets without in
spection.
1t was also voted to hold a poultry
show in the near future, which is de-
signed to be one of the largest ever
held in the Northwest. The fanciers'
committee has the plans in charge.

FOOD FOR HENS.

The most costly portion of the egg
is the white or albumen. This is de-
rived from the heterogeneous matter OF
grains, but principally from the AMI
NAL foods. Hence meat, milk, insects
and grains, rich in gluten, are the best
foods for that purpose. One of the
cheapest articles that can be used is
blood. If it can be secured from the
slaughter house, mixed with the ground
grain and cooked, it will be highly
relished by the hens, and will largely
assist in egg production. When meat
is used the lean portion should be pre-
ferred, as the fat is Of but little serv-
ice if corn is used in the food. One
of the cheapest substances for adult
fowls is milk, whether sweet or sour.
Regarding the use of blood, 1t is well
adapted for egg production. 1t can be
given with advantage to chicks as well
as fowls, and be used in several diff
ferent ways. First, by mixing one
pound of blood with three pounds OF
mixed ground grain, and the whole
mixture cooked as bread. There is

PHEAsANTs A NUISANCE.

Adverse criticism continues in the
New York papers in regard to Chinese
pheasants. The Jerusalem correspond
ent of the Penn Yam Express said re-
Gently:
"The pheasant problem is getting Sc
rious. A list of damages will be strict
ly kept and the State asked to settle
for all. The pheasant is more destruc-
tive than the squirrel or crow in corn,
and the grape grower is the prey OF
the Monaghan pheasant. The domes-
tic fowls and turkeys are carefully
shut up and guarded, while the State
turns thousands of ravenous pheasants
out on the grape owner, and prevents
the owner of the grapes from protect
ing the property that he has a war
ranty deed for, and you cannot keep
the State from trespassing on your
lands by putting up signs, etc. They
would have the same legal right to
import sheep from Colorado as pleas
ants from Manchuria and turn them
loose on the fruit grower to destroy
his crops. The Monaghan pheasant is
nuisance"

years at the Utah Experiment Station
a line of experiments with the object
of determining the value of the hen at
different ages for egg production. The
same hens were kept year after year
under similar conditions and a record
kept of production and of food con-
sumed. These experiments proved
that the hen is different from the cow,
which retains or improves her pro-
ductivity with age. The first year was
the most profitable, and there was a
gradual decrease in the productive
ness each succeeding year. 1t is safe
to figure this decrease at 25 per cent
each year. With average prices for
food and for eggs, it is not profitable
to keep hens after they have finished
their second year of laying. The first
or pullet year is very profitable, the
second will give a satisfactory profit,
but during the third year the egg yield
VIII seldom pay for the food con-
sumed
These conclusions apply only, of
course, where the eggs are sold at
market prices Fowls that have a spe-
cial value as breeding stock should be
kept longer, but the notion that ''the
old speckled hen" is the good layer
should not be cherished unless she is
caught in the trap nest. The fact that
she sings joyful lay, paints her comb
a brilliant red and scratches vigor-
Gus scratch should not be accepted as
sufficient grounds for committing the
sentence.
1t is safe to say that poultry-keep-
ers would be heavy gamers by rigor-
ously killing off the hens every two
years and replacing them with new
stock-with the exceptions noted
above. Where the pullets and hens
are allowed to run togeth it will be
necessary to mark them, otherwise it
will be difficult to separate the old
stock from the young when it is de-
sired to market them The usual
method of marking is to punch hole
in the web between the toes when the
chicks are Matched This is easily and
quickly done with punch which may
be purchased from the poultry supply
houses for 25 cents. A number of diff
erent markings may be made in this
way Where the practice is to dispose
of The hens every two years it will be
sufficient to mark them every other
year-James Dryden, Oregon Agricul-
tural College.

A great many people market their
hens when year old and restock with
pullets. My experience teaches me
that this is a great mistake.
First, hen doesn't reach her best
until she is 2 years old; then she is
fully developed and ready for business,
and if she is trap-nested in company
with pullets at the end of one year she
VIII win out with more profit to her
credit than the pullets. If she is
good hen she will continue to lay
through the mott and well up into the
winter before taking a rest. Very few
pullets will do this. had the pleas
ure last March of visiting breeders
yards, and he showed me a pen of
eight hens, each having record of
200 eggs or better for a year, and each
hen made her record after she was 2
years old.
A second and fatal mistake in SELL
ing all the year-old stock is this: You
ruin your stock for breeding purposes.
By breeding from pullets for several
seasons you will produce understood
birds and they, in turn, will produce
weak chicks, and those that you sue
coed in raising will not lay half as
many eggs as will large, vigorous
stock. Their eggs will be small and
will never bring fancy price in the
market and after a time this breeder
will decide the hen business to be
failure. On the other hand, birds
raised from hens years old or older
will be larger and stronger and will
mature earlier; and, if this is followed,
the stock will improve each year. Any
dairymen will tell you that he can
