Valuable Information
in Poultry Industry
Timely Tips That Should Be of
Great Value to You and
Your Success.

1t is a good time to Gull out all
the old hens that will not pay for
their feed the coming year You are
doubtless aware Of a number of hens
that are too old and too fat to amount
to anything any longer as layers.
Then there are others younger that
are worthless as layers at any time
Of the year.
Strive to make the most of the
chicks you have Matched Leave no
stone unturned to make the sturdy
and rapid growth of these young
sters Do not grunt and growl be-
cause you have failed to hatch as
many as you had hoped to. One
hundred well raised chicks are worth
more to you than twice that number
Of worthless runts, made so by
crOwding and insufficient feed and
care. There should never be a sim
gle let-up in the feeding and rapid
growth Of a chick from the time il
is Matched until IL is fully matured.
To secure such growth chick should
never be allowed TO go hungry
Feed good wholesome feed both to
the mems ana the growing CHICKS.
II is not so important what you
feed but the quality and condition Of
II. Stop might suit pigs all right but
l never felt like feeding it to my
chickens, as many do in the shape
of all kinds Of decayed vegetables and
fruit during hot weather. Fresh veg
etables and scraps from the table of
all kinds are all right. A sour mix
ture will cause bowel trouble in
growing chicks quicker than any
thing else.
Among the leghorns, those with the
heavier combs are usually the best
layers. In fact this is the case in
most varieties.
The heavier cOmbed hens prove to
be better layers than those with
smaller combs. This may make them

hibition point of view, however, yet
it is a fact worth knowing.
On farms where there is an album
dance Of room to be devoted to the
chickens. the movable colony house
is a valuable adjunct in the care of
either a flock of growing youngsters
or hens. 1t should be built light but
strong with PKG sills on each side
with the ends rounded up in the
shape Of a sled You can then hitch
a horse to it and 1t will slide from
one place to another, thus locating it
upon fresh ground once a week or
two as deemed best. These houses
should be made low and broad so they
will not tip over when being moved.
Have the fronts open and covered
with wire netting which insures fresh
air. After the young chicks are two
months old they can be put in one OF
these houses and furnished with a
self feeding hopper for mixed grains
and a large drinking fount holding a
gallon or two of water.
Make your coops for a hen and a
brood Of chickens large enough so the
hens may stand up and flap their
wings, and stretch themselves at will
This seems necessary to insure per
feet health to the hen, and a good
healthy brooding hen goes a long way
toward healthy chicks.

FINE ALFALFA

Bolin Williams returned from a
trip to Boggy bottoms, and he brought
with him sample of some alfalfa
that he found growing wild in the bot
toms. Mr.. Williams was in company
with w. C. Hatcher, a well-known
farmer of that section, who owns a
large amount of land. Last year Mr..
Hatcher was in the bottoms and camp
ed for meal and fed his horses alfal-
ia, and when he was there last Satur-
day he found the product growing
wild. 1t was over three feet high, ana
looked fine. and there is no telling
what it would have been had it been
cultivated. 1t was also in the shade
of big trees, which is the more re-
Mr.. Hatcher was so well
impressed that he decided he would

market value or the cotton as an ad-
vancement and accepts the scrip for
the remainder up to 15c per pound,
which he is expected to hold until his
cotton brings 15c in the market AS
an illustration, il the cotton is worth
12c per pound in Galveston, he will be
paid &c per pound or $500 per bale,
besides his seed which are worth at
least $1,000 per bale, netting the far
mer $500 per bale In cash and $4,000
per bale in the scrip which he is ex.
pected to mold until the price reaches
15c when his cotton is sold and the
scrip redeemed.
Now how can this hurt the farmer
one cent, when he has realized $55
per bale, which is as much as he has
gotten out of his cotton on the average
for the last five years?
He next says that "the corporation
will have buyers in the field next fall.
but that they will only compete with
local buyers, will not try to force
prices up" How can there be any
competition between the local buyers
and the agents of this corporation whu
has but one price, 15c for basis mid
ding; all the time, no more no less,
and the local men trying to buy on
exchange quotations which are now
indicated to be about liz to 12c ac-
cording to their futures as being quot
ed in the daily papers. He criticises
the corporation for having some heavy
type in their advertising and very
small type when they printed copy
of their Selling contract" In order
to show the make up of the contract
1t had to be printed upon a page not
more than half the size of original
paper. This corporation has nothing
to hide and are willing for everybody
to know the whole truth. Send to Mr..
]. w. L. Corley at Oklahoma City and
get copy of their booklet. Read it
without prejudice and feel assured
that you will declare it the cleanest
plan ever put forth to save the cotton
growers of the South $3oo,UO 900 per
year that has been going heretofore
into the hands of the spectators and
other small fry that have been prey
ing upon the farmers. This proposit-
ion has given perfect satisfaction
where it was used last year and II the
farmers can realize the fact that they
canot lose cent and have everything
to gain that they will rally to the
support of the Southern States Cotton
Corporation.
This corporation is not a great fl
