POULTRY
*FACIS*
ROOSTER LOWERS EGG YIELD
Interesting Tests Made Ut New York
Experiment Station on Presence
Of Males In Flock

The belief used to be general many
years ago that hens would not lay
without the presence Of q male bird
In the flock. And even today there
are q few people that contend the
male stimulates egg production to a
greater or less extent Men who
have raised poultry for years still
cling to this notion and persist In
keeping a lot of males hanging about
where only eggs are wanted.
The New York Experimental sta
ton made up four pens Of pullets,
two consisting of pure-bred stock and
two OF mixed stock. With one pen OF
each class cockerels we're kept, while
with the others none were allowed.
The cockerels we're put with the two
pens two months before any began
laying. Some pullets in each of the
two pens in which no cockerels were
put began laying a month before any
in the two containing cockerels. The
fowls were OF the Asiatic breeds and
rather persistent sitters. No attempt
was made TO discourage any of the
hens from sitting, and there seemed
to be no difference in the relative
number Of sitters in the contrasted
pens. OF the cross-bred pullets the
lot without males laid better through
out the season and also during the
best egg season. OF the other lot
the one without males began laying
earlier and did better than the one
with males during the first part OF
the season, but II fell slightly behind
for the latter months, though during
that period they kept even with the
lot which was accompanied by males
1t was thought that the vice Of feath
er eating which broke out in this per
had much to do with the falling of
in egg production.
From these experiments It would
seem that the presence of males has
a detrimental influence upon the ege
yield. This is also the theory ad
vanced by many in recent years, ant
1t is now pretty generally accepted
by prominent egg farmers.

the rebellion will die in 1865. That
is the estimate made by those who

the last veteran survives until that
date he will have lived ninety years
after the surrender of Lee.
Kronk who died a couple of years
ago in New York state, was the last
soldier of the War of 1912, and he

years after peace had been signed
