BETTER POULTRY STOCK
THE BIRDS FIRST OFF THE RoosT
ARE MOST VALUABLE.
BY II. L. kempster, Professor of Poul-
try Husbandry, College Of Aeri-

- 49,
try Husbandry, College of Asri-
culture, University of Missouri.
The secret of successful poultry
breeding is to Gull. Breeding stock
should undergo the most rigid selec-
ton, not only for type, but for consti-
tutional vigor. Unless a bird has a
strong constitution it is not an eco
homical producer. The chicks are
more liable to contract disease, and
those that live are not as good egg
producers, o do the birds grow and
fatten with as economical gains.
A good constitution is indicated by
a broad, deep chest, long body, active,
vigorous disposition, keen blight eyes
and broad head with a bright-colored
comb and glossy plumage. Male birds
should display vim and vigor. Females
with long crow heads, heavy abdo-
mems and excessive fat due to lack of
exercise should be eliminated from
the breeding pens, as they are rarely
good producers and are always poor
breeders. The bird which is first off
the roost in the morning and last to
go on the roost at night should be
used. Above all, select a strong male
bird. He is half the flock.
The great point is to have some
type in mind and select the breeding
stock with this purpose in view. Too
close %inbreeding is also the cause OF
lack Of vitality. The criticisms to be
made of the farmers breeding meth.
DDS are:
/. Using inferior males that have
been retained for home use.
q %Inbreeding.
8. Breeding from the entire stock
4. Selecting eggs for Matching from
the general egg basket.
The breeding season is always the
one of the highest egg production. In
ferior birds are usually laying an(
are as liable to reproduce as the bet
ter specimens. Another common prac
tice is the introduction Of males O.
different breeds. Stick to n breed
Pure-bred stock is more liable to pro
duce reliable stock. Scrubs and dung
hills cannot be depended upon. Breed
ing from entire flocks produces infe
rior progeny. By selecting a few o
the best females and then mating
them to a good vigorous male, enough
eggs for Matching a be produced ant
the practice will result in bette
progeny. Poor stock is Improbable
Good quality is not only productive
but also demands a higher price whel
marketed. Careful selection is as i'm
portant in improving poultry as il
other branches of live stock.

Winter Care Of the Sows
Variety of Feed and Exercise Are Important for
Production of Good Litters
By c E. Br..hs.r. COLLEGE d Asdsutus Univslay Of MiAoui

In cold weather. if sows have a good
deal of outdoor exercise, they may be
fed more corn with safety than when
they are kept pretty closely confined.
The herdsman must realize the i'm
portance of furnishing considerable
bulk, and of restricting the proportion
of heating or highly ~fattening foods.
Furnishing some such foods at roots,
or alfalfa or red clover hay is i'm
portant. Sows will eat considerable
amounts of good, bright alfalfa when
it is supplied. It is best fed in racks
made especially for the purpose Skim

province Of Louisiana, which included
Missouri, petitioned the king of Spain
for aid for the settlers along the Mis-

Missouri. "The said inhabitants" he

During the period of CESSATION the
sow should be kept in good, strong
condition, but not overloaded with fat.
Extremes in condition are to be avoid
ed. The very fat SOW is liable to be
clumsy with her pigs, and sometimes
her pigs are few in number and lack
ing in vitality. On the other hand, the
very thip SOW will either not do JUS
tice to her pigs, or will become a mere
wreck herself during the time she is
nursing her litter. and the chances
are that both these things will hap
pen. A SOW may be kept in fairly

high condition and still produce salts
Factory, filters provided she takes
plenty of exercise.
There is a temptation to feed sows
almost exclusively upon corn. Such a
method of feeding cannot give the best
results, as corn does not furnish
enough bone and muscle forming cor
~stituents to properly develop the un-
born pigs. It's exclusive use may be
the cause of the sow's eating her pigs
later. 1t is also rather too fattening
and heating to feed in large quanti-
ties to a SOW at this stage. 1t is true
that corn may be fed, but it must be
ted with judgment. A feed high in
protein should be fed with it. A good
grain ration to feed pregnant sows is:
SolH paFtS.
Shipped stuff ................2 parts.
1anKage ....................l part.
Another good ration is:
corn parts.
Linseed oil meal .............1 part.

An Flock Improvement includes Prop
err Housing and Feeding and the In
tetIlsent Attention Of the Owner

While we believe the number Of
sheep in West Virginia should be
largely increased, it is perhaps Of
greater Importance that the sheep We
have should be improved. 1t Is posi-
BILE to have a profitable flock without
having registered one, and to the
man who already has common OF
mixed flock Of breeding ewes, or the
beginner in sheep husbandry, we make
the following recommendations:
The uniformity of the flock is of first
Importance. They should be as nearly
alike as possible in type, breed anc
general characteristics. In order te
secure this result, the shepherd shoaic
first decide upon the type Of sheep he
wishes to produce, and we think thai
experience has shown that for most
sections of this state one OF the Dowr
breeds will best meet the conditions
though Merinos and their grades have
many friends. Select pure.bred
ram of the type, desired and always
keep pure bred sire Of the same
breed at the head of the flock. Keel
in mind always that it is fatal to uni
formity and improvement to use any
thing but a pure bred sire. While II
may sometimes seem expensive tc
stick to this rule, 1t is well to keep In
mind that the greatest success is pos
sible by no other, and the uniformity
Of the flock will more than make up
the difference in cost.
