BULLETS BETTER THAN HENS?
Enthusiasts Take Opposite Sides on
the Egg Laying Argument-Few
Good Points Given.

A question that Is being debated
much at present among poultrymen is
whether hens or pullets are capable
of greater egg production. Some claim
that, while hens lay fewer eggs than
pullets, they lay larger and heavier
eggs, and because of this fact the eggs
command a better price than those
laid by pullets. 1t is true that most
hens do lay a slightly heavier egg
than pullets, but in many sections of
the United States eggs are sold with
out grading, and consequently the
smaller egg commands as good price
as the larger one.
Others are in favor of pullets be-
cause they lay so many eggs which,
they claim, possess a better flavor
than those laid by hens. No one dis
putes the fact that pullets are better
layers than hens.
The eggs laid by pullets do not
hatch as well as those of hens. The
chicks from pullet eggs and not, as
a rule, nearly SO strong and lively as
those from hen eggs. For this reason
it seems to be advisable to use pullets
for layers and hens for breeders.

fiat, and not cooked up on edge. We
must also use roller coulter large
and sharp enough to cut the Quack
roots off clean to the the bottom of
the sod, as explained by an expert in
the Farm and Home. Quack roots
are usually all in the first four or
five inches of the top SOIL We do
not want to pull any Of these roots
out with a dull pillow or coulter SO as
to have them stick up and grow.
During the winter top dress the
ground with manure, and in the
spring seed either to oats and grass
again, or to any quick, rank-growing
crop that will come up before stray
spears of quack gets start. Follow
the same system again, this time put
ting the pillow down twelve inches, and
go right on over again until you
have the pillow down fourteen or six
teen inches If necessary. In this way
we not only get rid of the quack
grass, but we also get a good deep
soil and mulch, and at the same time
we get the benefits of sub-soiling

carefully and gradually added live

that mixed farming would pay larger

KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
Good Results in Matter of Laying Can
not Be Obtained If PuIlets' Quar-
tiers Are Dirty.

No use to expect the best results in
the matter Of laying If you allow your
pullets to stay in dirty quarters, says
Coleman's Rural. Get busy with the
whitewash brush and the kerosene
spray and clean, clean, clean. Not
only inside the house, but the premises
all around it.
If you have fifty pullets for your
laying bunch it will take about two
hours to dust them, and time cannot
BE better spent. Let one person hold
the pullets by the legs while the other
fires insect powder into the feathers
with a powder gun. Get it under the
wings, around the head, neck and ev-
cry place where the feathers are soft
and fine, for there is where the mites
and lice love to cuddle and feast. -
Referring to the use Of kerosene
spray, fill the roosts and all the cracks
around the nests and roofing with it,
for it is there the pestiferous mites
hide You know body lice remain on
the fowls all the time, but the mites
seek the roosts and cracks for mo-
ments of seclusion.

CANKER SORE MOUTH
IN YOUNG PIGS

Infectious sore mouth, which is kill
ing many young pigs, is caused by
germ bacillus necrophorus) which
lives in filth, manure and dust,
and invades scratches or wounds OF
the soft tissues of the mouth and
snout. Clean, whitewashed, freshly
bedded narrowing places for soWs
should always be provided and will
be found especially helpful in ward
ing off the disease, according to the
department of veterinary science of
the College of Agriculture of the Uni
yersity of Wisconsin.
Do not pull, nip off, or knock out
the "eye" teeth or first tusks of suck
ling pigs, for this frequently leaves
a raw, bleeding wound and provides
a favorable place in which the germs
causing the disease can grow. This
practice was considered advisable at
one time to prevent the sow's teats
from getting sore, but observations
show that more harm than good re-
suits from 1t.
When a case of sore mouth is dis
covered, each pig should be caught
and examined for symptoms of the
disease. Those which are affected
should be placed in separate pen
and treated as follows: Scrape each
sore and ulcer clean and then rub
lightly with a lunar caustic pencil,
which may be obtained at any drug
store. Afterward, swab once or twice
daily with per cent. solution of
permanganate of potash. Use this
antiseptic every other day, or daily in
obstinate cases, until relief is given.
If Jumps form on the snout, cut deep
ly into them to allow accumulated
pus or blood to escape, and then
swab out with tincture of iodine. Re-
peat the iodine application on alter
nate days. Sore places on the head
are well treated by cleansing, paint
ing once with tincture of iodine, and
then rubbing once daily with mix,
ture of one part of ichthyol and three
parts of lard or vaseline.
In case the disease threatens it is

For the Asparagus Beds.

The land for an asparagus bed must
be well drained, warm, rich soil and
thoroughly worked. For a home
patch, deep spading may do, but care
must be taken to get the manure well
mixed with the soil il best results are
desired. For larger beds the manure
should be turned under with plow.
Deep blowing is advantageous in most
cases. The first blowing should be
done late in the fall, the second early
in the spring. Good, strong, one-year-
old roots are the best. A long bed,
single row for the home garden, is
better and more easily managed than
a short bed of number of rows. The
plants should have plenty of space.

That poultry farming is still consid-
cred royal road to "easy money is
shown by the many letters Of inquiry
/ receive from men and women who
wish to be given the formula that
would make it possible for them to
succeed with poultry. The following
reply to one of these letters may, per-
haps, be of value to others:
ct is practically impossible for any
one else to tell you what you could do
in the way of returns from fifteen hun
dred chickens. An experienced man
who has been through the mill and
worked up from the bottom will be
81 to $3.50 each on an average. An
inexperienced man, such as large
percentage of those venturing into
the poultry business are, will be likely
to have fifteen hundred chickens lose
him that much per hen per year.
doubt very much if any man could
make good on a poultry proposition if
he merely starts out on the theory
that there Is money in poultry.
"In order to be successful along
this line man must have a natural
liking for poultry, SO that he will look
out for all the little details; and he
must remember that there is really
as much detail work to taking care of
fifteen hundred chickens as there
would be to taking care of fifteen hun

AS general proposition, it seldom
pays to carry hogs long after they
are ready for market. Feeders who
have held their hogs for rise in the
market have found that the expensive
feeds wipe out all the advantages of
a higher price later.
Gains must be made or profits will
be materially reduced. Light feed
ing is a risky speculation, because
they cannot be carried along without
expensive grain feeds. Heavy feed
ing can be continued proftably to
growing pigs as long as supplement
feeds are fed along with the fat put
on by the corn. In this way $50 to
200 pound hogs can be continued on
full feed to weight of 200 pounds
or more and pay large profits.

dred COWS, or any other class of live
stock. The average poultryman falls
down because he does not pay enough
attention to the individual and wants
to consider everything on a flock
basis.
Personally, l think that man
with fifteen hundred chickens ought
to have at least forty acres of land,
and he should remember that feeding
chickens is just like feeding any other
class of live stock. You can make
good profit if they are used to market
your grain; that is, if you produce the
grain and sell it to the chickens at
the same price that you would get for
it at the elevator, your profits would
be likely to be good if your manage
ment is good If, on the other hand,
you have to buy all the feed so that
the middleman makes a profit on the
grain, your chances of profit are great
ly reduced This is true of all lines
of animal feeding. You can afford to
buy some feed just the same as you
can feeding other live stock, but l
doubt very much if man can make a
success on an ordinary location If he
has to buy all Of his feed for large
flock.
"You ought to be able to build poul-
try houses for from 81 to $1.50 per
hen. The amount Of labor required
would depend entirely upon the sys-
tenn of management that you adopt,
the amount of land that you secure,
and so on"
