year was the most profitable, and
there was a gradual decrease in pro.
ducuveness each succeeding year. II
is safe to figure this decrease as 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
satisfactory profit but during the
third year the egg yield will seldom
pay for the food consumed.
These conclusions apply only of
course where eggs ars sold at market
prices. Fowls that have a special
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 a joyful song. paints her comb
a brilliant red and scratches as Wig
orous scratch should not be accepted
as sufficient grounds for committing
sentence.
1t is safe to say that the poultry
keepers Of this state would be many
thousands of dollars in the pocket by
vigorously killing off the hens every
two years and replacing them with
new stock, with the exceptions above
noted.
Where the pullets and hens are al
lowed to run together 1t will be ne
cessary to mark them, otherwise 1t
will be difficult to separate the old
stock from the young when it is de-
sired 70 market them. The usual
metho Of marking is to punch hole
in the web between the toes when
the chicks are hatched. This is easily
and quickly done with punch which
may be purchased from the poultry
supply houses for 25 cents. A num-
Der Of different markings may be
made in this way. Where the prac-
tice is to dispose OF the hens every
two years 1t will be sufficient to
mark them every other year.

sary 10 Success of Poultry Business
More Difference in individuals
Than i'm Breeds.

The question as to which is the
most profitable breed OF fowls is very
frequently asked. There are un-
doubtedly differences in breeds but
undue importance should not be
placed upon breed. The trap nest
has shown that there is more differ
ence in individuals than in breeds.
Breed isn't everything. II man starts
in the poultry business with the best
breed, as he believes, and has with
1t the notion that breed Is everything
he will meet with inevitable failure
The breed may be all right but the
fowls must be encouraged 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 unrea-
sonable and take up with another
breed, and most likely the fault was
not in the breed. The fault is usual
ly one of two things: either the hens
are Of poor or non-productive strain
of the breed, or the management is
poor.
II is point in management that
wish to speak Of here, one point in
many that must be taken into account
il pOultry-keeping is to be made a
success. 1t is question Of the most
profitable age Of the hen. Poultry
men who have kept in touch with
poultry Investigations during the past
few years are pretty well informed
on this point, but the Importance Of
this subject is not yet generally appre-
ciated. The writer carried on for
several 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 pro-
.duction. ~
The same hens were kept year af-
ter year under similar conditions, and
a record kept Of production and Of
food consumed. These experiments
proved that the hen ID different from
the COW which retains or improves
her productivity with age. The first

BIG IDAHO CROPS.
Hail Does Much Damage. But Rains
Were Needed

llall Does Much Damage, But Rains
Were Needed
A report from Grangevllle, Idaho,
says: Another good soaking rain to-
day brought great joy to the farmers,
and Notwithstanding the great dam
age to the crops in the section visit
ed yesterday by the hailstorm. the
grain output from Camas prairie this
year will be tremendous, about a
third larger than last year.
Many fields will harvest so bushels
of wheat to the acre. The section
damaged by the hail Is small COM
pared to the whole of the prairie so
that the damage will be only a drop in
the market.
But while the territory hit by the
the damage was unprecedented. John
Callan who lives eight miles north
of town, was in today and says his
crop is completely destroyed. A
number of his pigs were killed by
the hail, some of them Weighing 60
pounds. Several OF them had their
backs broken by the hail which was
as large as oranges. Fowls were
killed in numbers and several horses
had their eyes knocked out Limbs
were broken off the trees, the bark
knocked off and his orchard ruined.
John Coram, the old pioneer farm
er. says this is the third severe hail
storm that has visited the prairie in
the past % years and that II is the
greatest grain country in the United
States.
