WHY WE SHOULD LIKE
COWS AND CHICKENS
Poultry and Cattle Make Excellent
Combination to Handle
on the Farm

Poultry and cows are coming to
tion on the farm. Formerly many
persons. back-to- the -landers especial
ly thought poultry and fruit could
be handled together with greater gain
than any other combination, but
since the discovery that milk is the
best of all foods for chickens this
change of opinion has come about.
Twenty-Five acres of land, five to
seven thousand laying hens, ten cows
and two horses is now considered
about the proper layout. Fruit and
poultry do not go we'll together for
the reason that neither provides any
thing helpful to the other, except
which cannot be dispensed with in
profitable poultry keeping But fruit
does not provide feed for poultry and
chicken manure. valuable for many
crops, applied in any quantity to
orchards is positively harmful; It
forces wood growth and causes the
fruit to drop before matured. On the
other hand, this fertilizer is unexcel-
led for growing corn, wheat and grass
and corn, wheat and grass and unex-
celled for growing chickens. These
crops respond wonderfully to the high
content of nitrogen in chicken ma
nure. Thus the land will feed the
chickens and the chickens in turn
will feed the land. The butter fat
from the cows will be turned into but
ter and sold and the skim milk will
be turned into eggs and sold.
Just how many more eggs will be
laid by hen that is fed skim milk
than by one of like quality that is not
cannot be estimated with anything
like certainty, but 1t is certain that
the increase will be far above the fig
ure the average poultry keeper might
name.
The business of poultry keeping for
egg production is in its infancy; 1t is
bound to grow wonderfully in the
next few years. and economic egg
production is far from being an exact
science at the present time. 1t be-
hooves the egg farmer, therefore,
who would be we'll paid for his eff
forts, to give intelligent thought to
the matter of combining such lines
of agriculture as will work to the ad-
vantage of each other.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1914-08-29
More Than Hundred
Thousand Eggs Laid
in the Famous Contest

More than a hundred thousand eggs
is the record to date of the hens in the
laying contest at Storrs. This is an
average of nearly 1913 eggs each for
very individual in the contest, inclu-
ding good, bad, and Indifferent and is
only about one and half eggs per
hen behind the record for correspond
ing period in the previous contests.
This is thought to be an excellent
showing in view of the fact that more
than 500 birds are engaged in the pre-
sent contest as compared with only
500 in the earlier competitions.
All birds sent to the college for next
years contest will be tested by the
Storrs Experiment Station free of
charge for white diarrohea, provided
the owners signify on the entry blank
their desire to have this test made.
During the past two monthes the sta
ton has tested fifteen flocks in the
state with the total of consider
able more than four thousand hens.
OF this number 4S2 or a little more
than 11per cent were found to be in
fected. This blood test is undoubtedly
a long step forward in the eradication
of this disease that destroys so many
young chicks.

HOW OLD ARE YOUR
CHICKENS? FIND OUT
Essential For Poultrymen to Know
to Determine When Serv-
ice Ceases

An essential to success in poultry
raising is knowing at all times the
ages of the fowls. This can readily
be done by toe punching the chickens
as soon as hatched, which will obviate
the killing of the young hens and pull
let's before their days of usefulness
are over. The operation is most sim
pie. For example: On most farms
there is harness punch. Use tho
smallest punch, If there are different
sizes, and punch the outside web Of
the right foot between the toes. The
following year the chicks could all
be punched on the inside web of the
right foot. In this way one can read
lily tell the ages of the flock by years.
There are sixteen combinations that
can be used in this way. This method
is very good to weed out the drones
and Nonlayers, TO when a hen has
passed the second year as a layer, 1t
rarely pays to keep her longer. In
this instance, as soon as the hen
starts to molt after the second laying
season, 1t is advisable to market her,
as in molting she will produce very
few. If any, eggs and by keeping her
through this period which lasts about
ninety days, there is little to gain, but
the trouble of caring for her and often
mony fowls die while going through
the molt.

Guessed Egg-laying
Ability of Hens by
Hefting the Pullets

Tom Barron, the English breeder,
was the magnate that drew thousands
to the annual meeting of the Connecti-
cut agricultural Poultry Association
held at the Connecticut agricultural
college this month. Mr.. Barron cap
tured first place in the Connecticut
laying contest last year and so far is
again in the lead this year.
The climax was probably reached
when he was induced to mount the
roof of one of the poultry houses,
where the vast crowd could see him.
have hens from the contest pens pas
sed up to him and give his estimate Of
their egg records. He met this test
with the individuals of three pens, r.
1. Reds, White Wyandotts and white
Leghorns.
Mr.. Barron seemed to look at the
toes and legs first, apparently to get
an idea of their color. He noted
whether the legs were placed wide
apart. Then he studied the head
comb and eye. Then he ran his
hands all over the hen, back, front
and at the side. testing the lines at
the back, the shape of the breast bone,
the length and breadth of the back
Then he held her up for one last wise
inspection, after which he told with
surprising accurancy how the bird
stood in her pen record.
