Get Rid of Culls

Get rid of your "culls' just as soon
as possible after they are ready for
market. This is an important matter
that is sometimes overlooked by breed
ers. Especially is this important where
space is limited.
"Culls" are a hindrance to the growth
and development of the balance Of the
flock, for several reasons. Neither
growing chicks nor the old fowls do
well in ,overcrowded quarters and are
more liable to contract disease and be-
come lousy. Besides. the breeder is en-
abled to give better care to the ball
ance of the flock after the culs are
out of the way.
Gull closely, disposing Of all speci-
mems that show any permanent defect,
such as wry tails, crooked breastbone,
roach back, twisted back, feathers on
legs or toes in American, Spanish anG
other an-legged breeds and lack of
feathers on legs and toes in the Asiat-
ic breeds, or any serious detect in
comb, wattles or earlobes
In fact, get rid of all birds having
any defect that you know can not be
outgrown. If raising market poultry, OF
course these defects cut no figure, but
even in this branch of the business
careful culling is desirable and protita-
BILE. as the flocks should be weeded out
and the non productive birds discarded.

Ration For Layers

\ question which has been frequently
asked in the institutes | have attended
is What is good ration for laying
hen?
That question answers itself. If you
give it a thought We will ask our
selves this questlon-What is an egg
composed of? Seventy four per cent of
the egg is water, Now, how necessary
it is that a hen should have water
every hour Of the day-nice, clean
water Because it is impossible for a
hen to lay many eggs without water.
When the housewife opens an egg in
a saucer and examines it. and the egg
Is not so nice as she would like to see II,
the white Of the egg is watery and the
yolll is pale, she thinks the hen is sick,
but that is not So
When the white of an egg is watery,
it shows that we are not feeding good,
tein'in feeding causes it. Fourteen and
half per cent of the egg is protein.
That is the white Of the egg.
We must find a ration rich in protein.
That we can do by feeding plenty of
clover and wheat bran and wheat mid
dlings. What is the result? The white
of the egg is thick and attractive.
Ten and a half per cent of the egg is
fat; that-js the yellow. If the yellow IS
pale we can color it by feeding.
If you feed too much buckwheat the
yellow of the egg will be pale We
feed yellow corn and wheat, two glu-
tens, and i1t that way give beautiful
hue to the yellow We also feed quite
good deal of corn, to produce fat.
How often do we pick up an egg in
the winter with shell so brittle that 1t
won't stand shipping. Sometimes you
find an egg with nothing but tissue-no
shell at all. What is the matter With
that hen?
The shell is composed Of lime and It is
a great drain upon the hens system. to
produce the shell. They must have
lime enough to cover the egg with a
shell.
Glover is rich in protein and IS rich in
lime but, in addition to this. we slack
la little lime and put 1t into the sFKl
box, and the hens will go there if they
require 1t; and you will be surprised. II
you try it, at the difference in the re-
suits.
What is the result of this kind Of
food? We will break an egg in a
saucer and see. The white Of the egg Is
thick, heavy; it is attractive, nutri-
.tious; the yellow of the egg Is the
golden hue that was desired, and the
shell is firm and strong and will stand
shipment. There is the perfect egg,
just brought about by thinking the
matter over carefully, and feeding in
diligently.

Manager of Southland Poultry
Farms Has Been Raising
Fancy Fowls 20 Years.

| There is no fad that will take a firm
than fancy poultry. There is none that
will better repay the time and money
expended on it, @
That these statements are true is well
evidenced by the experience of o. A
Muse
Mr.. Muse is. al present the manager
of the Southland Poultry Farms. at
Charleston, Ga, and there isn't a better
equipped, better stocked and more
prosperous looking plant in Dixie The
rule Of absolute cleanliness and perfect
health are so well enforced here that
to the casual onlooker poultry rearing
would look to be a dream of incident
of1t-taking. OF course, il isn't that
but the strict rule of cleanliness and
health that MIR. Muse applies makes
poultry breeding profitable, even if il
does call for lot of hard work
Twenty years ago this fall Mr.. Muse
was walking down Pryor street one
day. His attention was attracted by a
poultry show-one Of the first. by the
way, ever held in Atlanta He dropped
in. casually. Just to see what there was
about a chicken that justified holding
an exhibition.
He came out with severe case of
Chicken fever" and he has never got
well TO this good day
Mr.. Muse started out with White
Cochins, Silver Wyandottes and Brown
Leghorns, strictly fancier's fowls. all
of them. He bred them well. in spite
of the difficulties that beset him and
| have beset all who have dallied with
such pains-requiri chickens. until ten
years ago when he saw his first pen of
Buff Orpingtons at an Atlanta show
The Buff Orpington of that day was
a crude fowl as compared with the
beautiful fowl it is now, but Mr. Muse
was taken with it from first sight and
lit has been his hobby ever since. He
has raised thousands Of them and has
won hundreds Of ribbons at state and
Southern shows.
4 year ago he transferred his own
flock to the Southland Poultry Farms,
strengthened it with some iudicious
purcha ses, and added splendid stock in
Whites and Blacks.
The Southland farms made fine
record in the two Atlanta shows last
winter. The pen of Buff Orpingtons
which won a blue in both shows was
one Of the finest of its kind ever seen in
the South.
Mr.. Muse has on range at Charleston
now more than 1000 young birds
healthy, vigorous and well bred.
Everlasting cleanliness is the main
slogan OF the farm. 1t means success
with chickens

How to eGt Rid of Chicken Flea

In answer TO one Of our readers. saws
The Progressive Farmer. Professor r. /
Smith, Of the North Carolina AgricuI-
tural Experiment station. wrote as fol-
lows:
q received the bottle containing
chicken feas. This is the common
name, and the flea is known to occur
on various animals as you have OBJ
served.
THE young stage of the heas is a
worm that lives in dust or filth in
cracks in the chicken houses, barns
etc. For this reason the best method
of fighting them is to thoroughly clean
out all houses in which they occur, and
treat all. the floors with kerosene or
gasoline. or with boiling hot water II
you can use it more conveniently The
use Of carbolated vaseline is said to
be good treatment for the infested
chickens. ana should be equally effec-
tive on other animals. 1t acts as re-
peIlent and as a good healing ointment.
You must remember that when flea $
once get a foothold in buildings It is
not an easy matter to exterminate
them, and unless you clean up thor
oughly and repeatedly, the treatment of
the animals themselves will be Of ques
tionab bic value The use Of fine tobacco
dust, snuff or insect powder busted i'm
cats and dogs will act as a repellent."

EViCt | ate MOIterS,

The hen that does not mott until in
the winter and takes all winter is one
there is little profit in keeping They
will not usually lay until spring. but
they eat feed just the same Sell off
those that did not mott in the fail or at
least be feathering up before winter
starts. The early melting hen is the
one to choose Sometimes a hen does
not mott until winter but keeps right
on laying all through the fall. Such
hens should be let lay as long as they
will, az eggs usually bring a good price
late in the fall. Then when they stop
laying sell them.
