Keep Only the Strong Birds.


The first principle to be adopted IN
the successful handling of poultry
should be to eliminate the weak stock
wherever we see it. This applies 10
all stages of development, from the
baby chick to the mature fowl. The
chick which shows physical weakness
at anv time should be killed or dis
tinctIy marked and kept away from
the strong stock, later to be marketed
If worthy. 4 chicken may overcome
weakness so far as external appear
ances show, and still retain the in
herited weakness. 1t is well known
that certain physical weaknesses are
transmissible from parent to offspring.
The best safeguard against transmit
ting weakness in a breeding flock is
the elimination of all stock that show
or has shown weakness. Sometimes
this may mean the disposal of the
whole flock and starting with strong,
new blood.
Do not use immature pullets in the
breeding pens under any circum-
stances. If using pullets at all mate
them to a well matured cock bird, and
mate the hens with a yearling cock
erel.
Breeding from late matched BIRDS
continually is sure to produce birds
under size Occasionally breeding
from a late Matched bird will do no
harm, but it should never be made a
continued practice.
See that each bird that is used in
the breeding pens has his health GER
tificate, which is a bright eye and red
comb. 1t is a waste of time and eff
fort to try to raise strong chicks from
weak breeding stock.
Careful breeding, proper feeding and
the right kind of care will produce
heavy laying in any breed.
The breeder who pursues his work
in a systematic manner is the one who
gains the greatest measure of success.
Select the breeding fowls with deb
mite aim. If you want heavy layers,
ascertain which are your best laying
hens and breed from them only. If il

Good Times Ahead.

There is going to be greater pros
perity and greater growth in the poul-
try business in the next few years
than in any other branch of farm in
dustry. Now is the time to begin lay
ing your plans, the Matching season is
here. and you cannot raise too many
birds this year. But be sure that you
start with good, strong, vigorous stock
get the very best your pocketbook
will afford. Study the business and
there is no reason why you should not
add neat sum to your income by the
end of the year.
In advising all TO hatch all the
chicks possible in the next two months,
l do not wish to convey the idea that
Matching is all that is necessary. Al
ter the chicks are Matched they must
be protected from the cold and rain
and be properly housed and fed. IL
you are not in position to take good
care of many chicks, it would pay to
hatch only as many as you can prop
erly care for, and they will be better
birds than if you had Matched more
and neglected them.

Prevent disease by keeping the
poultry house clean, dry, and properly
ventilated, and supplying pure, nutri-
tious food. -
Charcoal is a good health producer.
Give it to the fowls freely. Often it
will correct minor ailments, such as
slight bowel trouble or Indigestion.
Treat your fowls with kindness ana
they will show their appreciation by
keeping your egg basket filed. A
half-scaredto-death hen is never a
profitable laying hen.
The farmer who says hens are a
nuisance generally speaks the truth as
far as his individual experience goes.
His methods, or lack of method, makes
them vertiable nuisance.
Supply the breeding stock with a
hopper of bran where they can help
themselves at will; also supply them
wit hchoarcoaI and grit In short do
your best to keep them in good health.
If the poultry has not paid, why? 1t
is a good time now to find out why be-
fore the seasons work commences. IL
mistakes have been made, try not to
make the same mistakes again.
If you don't feel able to purchase
thoroughbred stock to begin with then
get a pure bred male and begin to
make improvements. The increased
returns from your flock will soon en-
able you TO buy the kind of stock you
want.
Success with poultry is simply the
81.
tails connected with the business.
Anyone can be successful if they will
use little diligence and common
sense.
The old sayings, "a stitch in time
saves nine,' and AN ounce of preven-
ton is worth pound of cure" apply
with full force to the poultry business
remember this.
