TELLING AGE OF POULTRY

English authorities hold that there Is

they admit and indorse the experience
of the writer that In general inc spurs

tions in which really young birds de-
vclop old-looking spurs. while really
second-ycar birds preserve the snort
rounded spurs OF a cockerel.

1t is generally conceded that either

My experience hero is that good

prefer II to the phosphate and potash
if they cost the same money. but the

SAVE THE B0BWHiTE

The value of the bobwhite from
the standpoint OF the sportsman needs
no exploitation. but it has remained
fer member of the biological survey
or tho Department OF Agriculture to
discover and write thesis on the
Economic Value OF the Bobwhitc. "
Such a paper has been prepared by
Sylvester L. Judd, Pm. D, and makes
very interesting and suggestive read
ing. Mr. Judd describes a study of
the bobwhite. undertaken by means of
field observation. experiments with
captive birds and examinations Of crops
and stomachs In the laboratory. and
sums UP the results as follows The
bobwhite IS probably the most
abundant species on the farm. II is
one OF the most nearly omnivorous
birds, consuming large quantities OF
weed seeds and destroying many OF
the worst insects which the farmer has
to contend with. II does not injurc
grain. fruit or any other crop"
In series OF experiments referred
to 1t was found that seeds formed
50.7S per cent of its food, and that most
Of the seeds consumed were those OF
weeds. 1t was also found that a large
proportion Of the animal food of tho
bobwhite consists OF beetles, bugs.
caterplllars. spiders and miscellaneous
insects. While the opinion prevails
generally that the bobwhlte is n great
wheat eater Vt was found that wheat
constituted but 3.O4 per cent OF the
food Of those whose stomachs were
examined. and corn but 1914 per cent
Referring to the quantity Of weed
seed which is consumed by bobwhltes
1t is estimated that I'm the state OF Vir-
slnia there are four of these birds 10
the square mile. or 169. 500 i'm the state
The crop of these birds will hold half
an ounce of seed. and as at each of the
two daily meals weed seed constitutes
at least half the contents OF tho crop. or
quarter Of an ounce. half ounce
daily is consumed by each bird. on
this very conservative basis the total
consumption of weed seed by bob
whites from September TO April 80
In Virginia amounts to 573 tons.
