FOR SUCCESS WITH POULTRY
Practical Way Of Building Up Laying
Strain q Hens 10 to Breed Those
With Best Records

Trap nests are the best guidep0ts
to success. They point out the hens
that are dong good work, and expose
the drones. They not only tell you
how many eggs each individual hen
laying In q year, but they also point
out the color OF the shell and the
shape Of the egg.
The time is near at hand when hens
will be sold on their egg records, and
prices governed accordingly.
1t is an excepted fact that the only
way to build up laying strain Of
hens is to breed from those giving the
best records, says the Farm Journal.
By annually picking out the best Of
the flock, 1t is possible each year to
increase the average of the flock
In line with the introduction Of
trap nesting came the question Of the

Trap Nesta

10 one that is not laying. II remained
for Q man BY the name Of Albert
Angel, Jr., to strike the proper idea
In this direction.
Briefly stated, this system consists
Of a house and yard divided into two
unequal parts. One side 10 large
enough for IL hens, and the smaller
side Is for the cock In the house are
trap nests with two openings. Every
night the hens are put in the larger
house. The cock stays permanently
in his own quarters. Every hen that
lays an egg or enters q trap nest
goes out into the apartment with the
male. When night comes, the laying
hens are all with the male and they
then are returned to their own side uf
the house and yard, to 60 through the
same process each day In the morn
ing the male bird is alone. The trap
nest is made by simply fashioning
two light doors, using one-inch mesh
wire netting. The door TO the nest
which the hen enters to lay is hinged
from the inside, and Is pushed open
by the hen, and closes behlng her.
The door In the rear of the nest open
ing out into the cocks yard, is hinged
from the outside. When the hen en-
tiers the cocks pen she can not re-
turn, as will readily be seen. These
doors, or gates, are light, and work
easily, and should be the size Of the
entrance Of the next box and hinged
to the top.
The illustration, q popular make Of
trap nests, such as is used on many Of
the large poultry farms. A shows
trap nest turned to open nest.
B shows nest closed after hen
has entered. c shows trap set
When a hen is through laying she
will stick her head out Of the nest
and cackle, and should then be re-
leased.
On the LEG Of each hen is placed
an aluminium band on which Is stamp
Cd 4 number. Upon opening the door
Of the trap the hen is picked up and
her number aScsrtAlnsd. This Ii then

THE GET READY" SEASON.

What Hot Springs needs more than
anything else Is the revival of that
get ready for the season. spirit that
used to exist at this resort few
years ago much of the summer period
and more of the fall period was spent
in improvement and preparation for
the seasons business. When the sea-
sol opened the business houses had
an atmosphere OF newness and dress
that helped business.
The annual visitor who comes this
season should receive some impress,
sion of conviction that Hot Springs
has done something extraordinary in
the matter of catering to resort pat
ronage. Certainly with a little ex-
pense a3d with little cooperation
we could make such an impression.
A little paving work actually done on
Valley street from Reserve to Bridge
and around the Iron Mountain depot;
an adoption OF the street lighting pro-
position; and the cleaning up OF
premises and spreading of some new
paint on some very ugly slacks,
would complete much of a picture.
Then to keep Central avenue repair
ed and cleaned, and to have our high
way in good condition for travel;
with the golf links in good condition;
would contribute much for Impress
ions.
A spirit OF enthusiasm and unity
would bring about such results.
