GULL OUT NEEDLESS ROOSTER
Agricultural Department Urges Mar
keting of Male Birds Soon as
Matching Season Is Over.

It has been estimated that One-third
of the loss from bad eggs in the
United States is due to blood rings,
which are certain stage of chick
development in the egg. 1t takes
fertile egg to develop blood ring, and
the egg does not necessarily have to
be under setting hen or in the in
cubator for several days, as blood
rings will begin to develop in an I'M
heated room during hot summer
weather
Blood rings cannot be produced in
an infertile egg, no matter how long
the incubation, and infertile eggs can
only be produced by hens which are
not allowed to run with male birds.
The roosters are responsible for the
egg loss due to blood rings, and do 1t
by putting fertility into the eggs.
There is 10 good reason why the roost-
ers should be with the hens after the
breeding season is over. 1t has been
found by numerous experimenters that
hens lay better during the summer
when they are not annoyed by the at.
tentions of the rooster.
The United States department of
agriculture says that if farmers and
others engaged in the production OF
eggs would market their male birds
as soon as the Matching season is over,
large saving would be made, as prac-
tically every infertile egg would grade
first or second if clean and promptly
marketed. The thing to do then is
to sell off the cockereis and pen up
the breeding males, 30 that the hens
will be alone during the summer

FEW TROUBLES FOR THE COLT
Veterinarian Of Idaho Station Gives
Remedy for Navel-ill-Diar-
rhea and Rupture Cures.

by E. T. BAKER, Veterinarian Idaho
Experiment Station.)
Navel-ill is a serious disease of
the new born 1t is nothing but a
form of blood poison, the germs get
ting in through the navel. The cord
is rather short, and is first noticed
to be of a dark purplish color with
yellow pus. The joints begin swell
ing, and the colt soon dies unless
promptly attended to. Disinfect the
navel at once with a good caustic
antiseptic and change the location of
the mare and colt Give colt a table
spoonful castor oil with a little spirits
camphor, about half teaspoonful. If
veterinarian is called, which will
always pay in the long run, he will
give both local and general treat
ment in the form of vaccines.
Diarrhea is another frequent
trouble The mothers milk is often
the cause See that she is not over
heated or chilled. Give the mare
four ounces of sodium thiosulphate in
a bran mash once daily for three
days, and milk her out well. Give
the colt two tablespoonfuls castor oil
and one tablespoonful brandy in two
raw eggs.
Rupture is also rather common.
These often disappear without atten-
ton. Place the colt on its back and
return rupture. Apply strong
blister, and bandage for an hour or
so each day.

SHADE FOR CHICKENS
Many Chicks Are Victims of Sum-
stroke or Apoplexy.
Natural Shelter Is Best Because X Is
Usually Formed by Trees and
Bushes, Permitting Free
Movement of Air.

by PROF. JOHN WILLARD BOLTE.)
Chickens are probably less well
able to stand the extremes Of heat
than any Of our domestic animals, be-
cause they do not sweat to any great
extent. hence are deprived of that
safety valve that all OF the domesti-
Gated animals possess. 1t is undoubt-
eddy true that the chickens comb and
watues serve to cool of its blood to
very marked degree, but even they
will not avail in very hot weather
and shade of some kind must be al
ways available.
This is especially true with baby
chicks, as they cannot stand the d.
rect rays OF the summer sun nearly
as we'll as the other fowl can Many
chicks are victims of sunstroke or
apoplexy every year, and it is usually
the strongest and best developed ones
that are overcome.
Natural shade is best of all because
it is usually formed by trees and high
bushes, sufficiently distant from the
ground to permit free movement Of
air and the sun can get around to dis
infect the ground at certain times. By
all means have your hen coops, brood
ers and colony coops located in the
shade during the middle Of the day.
If there is no shade available in
the yard where the baby chicks run,
it will be necessary to provide some.
A mighty good scheme is to build a
frame abGut two feet off the ground
and cover IT with four inches of sod
or a foot of straw, weighted down.
This heavy thick roof prevents the
radiation of heat from its un2er sur
face and is quite waterproof, thus
having the advantage of boards or
canvas.
The ground under this shelter
should be dry and dusty and the lit
tie fellows will spend the long, hot,
noontime hours resting in the cool
and busting themselves.
With the older chickens, the prob
lem is fully as serious and shade must
be provided. This is sometimes done
by raising the floor of the hen house
couple of feet above the ground,
but this plan is Objectionable be-
cause of it's cost and the fact that the
hens lay in this scratching compart-
ment and rats harbor there.
An orchard forms the very best
location for the chicken park, as the
trees furnish shade and damaged or
decayed fruit while the hens eat the
tree insects and enrich the soil. For
the backyard flock of hens, either
sun-fowers or sweet corn will pro-
vide plenty Of shade if planted thickly
and early.
The hen house is usually of little
value for shade within, because the
roof is too low and the breeze cannot
blow directly through. If cross ven
tilation is provided and there is an
air space or straw loft under the roof,
little outside shade needs to be pro-
vided. Wherever possible, have the
house so located that there is room
for the chickens to get in the shade on
any side of it, out Of doors.

EARLY CHICKS MAKE PROFIT
Exceptionally Large Demand in Min
nesota for Light-Weight Roasters
1T Pays to Feed.

The early chick is the most profit
able, yet there is profit in the late
chick, provided it is not too late. There
is an exceptionally large demand in
this section for lightweight roasters
and broilers of two to two and one
half pounds, writes A. c. Smith of
Minnesota in the Orange Judd and
Farm. This furnishes a splendid OPP
portunity for those who wish to rear
and market chicks without being
obliged to house them. Matched in
May or June, they should easily reach
those weights before October l, and If
especially well fed, still earlier. This
Is the most favorable time to hatch
and raise chickens, as the parent
enough to acquire splendid health and
remarkable vigor. Eggs, if sensibly
set, should hatch almost perfectly and
the chicks should live and thrive.
The equipment required is very
small-a good-sized box or barrel,
covered with waterproof paper, in a
dry sheltered place, may be used both
to set the hen in and to house the
brood, though the barrel is rather I'M
suitable for the brood after the chicks
are weaned, especially if there are
many chicks.
Both hen and chicks should be al
lowed free range after the chicks are
a few days old, to pick up a large
share of their living, but in addition it
is a good plan to feed them at night,
and to give them all they will eat, as
they will grow faster and will either
be marketable at any earlier age or
weigh more, and consequently bring
more at a given time.
Chickens of this weight will not, it
is true, bring a fortune, but it must be
remembered that they cost very little
to rear. The fact that the earlier they
are marketed the better the price,
should not be lost sight Of For this
reason, it pays to feed them little
where there is not an opportunity to
pick up abundance Of food.
