The old Hens Arc Valuable

Keep some old hens. They are
worth much more for breeding pur-
poses than pullets. and many of them
may be kept at profit for three years
or more. / have a Rhode Island hen
now more than three and half years
old prize winner when a yearling,
that set and Matched eight chicks on
"A stolen nest late last fall. At the age
OF six weeks they weighed three
quarters OF a pound each. They run
out doors every day up to the middle
OF December, and at that time were
full feathered and thrifty. This shows
something about what can be done
with an old hen. She has to be raised
only once, and except for the melting
period, loses no time after the first
year. l believe that continued sacrifice
of hens and replacing them with pull
lets is doing much injury to all fiocks
composed of pullets. and tends TO
lower the vitality of the flock The
use Of pullets for breeding pur-
poses is to use immature mothers.
1t is we'll known that the most
vigorous chicks are secured from hens
that are from two TO three years old.
The eggs from pullets may produce
as many chicks as the eggs from hens,
but ordinarily in the brood the loss
from the lot of chickens Matched from
eggs laid by pulIets will be nearly
three times as great as from the lot
which is composed Of chicks Matched
from eggs laid by hens.
The reason why some prefer to
keep pullets is because they have an
idea that it is cheaper TO raise puliets
than to feed melting hens. Experience
proves to me that this is a mistake.
1t costs a good deal to feed growing
pullet from the egg to maturity, be-
sides the care that has to be given

than cover the melting period of a

hen to be a valuable part Of my flock,

Of them on hand for winter eggs and

FARM and ORCHARD

the demand at home may be increased
and the commercial crop marketed
with relatively fair success to all. As
To just what constitutes judicious
handling, the Office of Markets makes
the following suggestions:
1. Growers should pick the fruit in
uniform condition, cleaning the trees
only for what is ready TO come off,
repeating the process until the crop
is harvested. The advantage is to
secure longer time for distribution
and to prevent the pack from repre-
senting extreme stages OF maturity
ranging from ripe to green.
2. When picked, the fruit should
be handled from orchard to cars in
such a way as to prevent deterioration.
care being exercised to protect the
apples from the elements. 1t is ex-
planned that under proper conditions
fruit which is picked to-day should
not be packed until tomorrow and
that for this purpose shelter should
be provided.
3. Those using the barrel package
should uniformly grade and pack the
crop in compliance with the Sulzer
( law and brand in accordance with It's
provisions, for the purpose of creating
feeling of confidence among dealers
and consumers.
4. Inferior grades should be elm
mated from the green-fruit markets,
not only for the reason that the de-
mand for such grades will be very
limited, but also because their pres
ence i'm the markets will undoubtedly
hamper profitable disposition of the
better fruit
s. All apple growers, operators,
dealers, and associations should early
arrive at an estimate to true values

prices rule i'm the beginning OF the

Peculiar Trouble Feather Pulling
Feather STANDARDIZATION

/. Will you please tell me what
is the matter with my young chicks
They eat well but all at once they
get some trouble in their backs and
cannot walk straight. 1t seems to be
something wrong with their backs.
9. What causes them to eat feath-
ers and what will kill it?
g. My chickens are partly bare of
feathers in some places and at other
places there will be punches Of feath-
ers. They seem to feather very ire
gularly. What causes this? They are
all young chickens and have a large
run. They have no lice.
a. How is this for feeding plan:
cracked corn and wheat and dry bran
before them all the time? They have
plenty of green stuff as they have a
large clover run.
/. We cannot tell what this trouble
is. Your ration may be at fault
which causes weakness. The fact
that they feather irregularly and
slowly would indicate this.
2. Feather pulling is n vice that
fowls get into, and is usually the re-
suit of idleness. Many remedies have
been suggested which have worked
well in some instances and not so well
in others. A good article on the
subject appeared in the August num-
bers of p. X page 156. When every
thing else fails take a sharp knife
and pare off the upper and lower bill
so as to leave an opening when the
bill is closed. This will prevent the
bird from getting a sufficient hold OF
a feather to pull IL out The bill will
grow out again but by that time the
habit will probably be forgotten.
3. Your ration may not contain
sufficient mineral matter to enable the
chicks to feather normally. Add bone
meal to the mash and supply them
with plenty OF grit and shells. You
do not mention the breed. Some
breeds feather more slowly than
others as do some strains of the same
breed. The Asiatics are apt to run
around half naked the most of the
summer, devoting all their energies
and feed to growing large body
rather than feathers.
4. If you will add as much of
white middlings. corn meal and gluten
feed to the bran and fifteen per cent
beef scrap you will have practically
the same ration used by the writer
and with us this has given excellent
results. AS TO your ration IL is rather
one-sded. The hens need more meat
and more protein than is contained

Concerted Movement for Michigan
Good Roads

Henry b. Joy, President OF the
Lincoln Highway Association. has
launched the first concerted movement
Tor good roads in Michigan. The open
ing hre or attack is in the form OF a
petition directed to Governor Ferris
and signed by voters in every walk
or life requesting that the machinery
or state be Immediately set in motion
10 provide necessary funds and ar
range logical program OF state
highway Improvement. Copies OF the
petition have been sent to every
licensed owner of motor vehicle in
Michigan.
This is merely an entering wedge
Good roads are for everybody and it
is hoped that all friends of good roads
will become active In this movement.
Copies Of the petition are being sent
out from Mr.. joys office. Detroit.
In this petition Mr. Joy emphasizes
the fact that Michigan has for her
chief industry the manufacture of
motor driven vehicles; the develop
ment of this industry depends largely
upon the transportation facilities of
the country where these vehicles are
to operate. Michigan is separated
from the highways Of her neighbor
states by patches OF road that are "A
disgrace TO the commonwealth--ma
of them impossible certain periods
of the year.
Mr.. JOY is a strong advocate Of the
economic value of good roads to the
community, and is confident that
money spent on judicious road inn
provement always returns to the people
many fold.
This campaign for good roads i'm
Michigan has sounded note that the
people have long been waiting for.
While the petition has been in circula-
ton but few days the returns are daily
increasing in volume. Enthusiastic
cooperation from all sides indicates
that the people of the state have at
last awakened to the realization that

Marketing the Apple Crop

According to the Office OF Markets
! OF the department present indications
'are that the commercial apple crop
OF the United States is much larger
this year than last, but less than that
OF 1912 by several million barrels.
However, il is estimated in the cur
rent number OF the Agriculture Out
look of the department that the prob
lem of distribution will prove TO be
more complex than two years ago,
owing TO certain conditions resulting
: from the European war.
Attention is called to the small
quantity OF American apples-less
than 1000. 900 barrels-taken by Eu-
rope in normal times. Both the
growers and dealers are urged TO view
the situation with optimism and to
prepare for the disposal OF Europe S
usual portion in other ways. 1t is
suggested that with Judicious handling

and congestion will occur throughout
the channels OF trade, with disastrous
results to ALL concerned.
6. Only standard varieties well
packed should be placed in cold
to rule in the late fall and early win
ter. as the inevitable result of liberal
offerings OF common storage stock,
will probably limit the demand for
cold-storage apples until midwinter.
T. An effort should be made to fully
supply small towns by direct sales in
order TO secure a more uniform dis
tribution and avoid congesting the
large markets. Attention is called to
the practice in some sections Of grow
ers who go with cars OF apples to
poorly supplied towns and sell on the
track. Growers or dealers who. desire
TO use this system should apply to the
town and railway authorities for in
formation as TO regulations controlling
such sales. and. If conditions justify
shipping, the arrival OF the car should
be proceeded by judicious advertising
8. Growers who live i'm communities
where cooperative organizations are
operated should do all possible to
strengthen these exchanges. 1t is as
serted that the disloyalty of members
is the chief element of failure in CO.
operative enterprises, and growers are
strongly urged to support their as
sociations as the best way To effect
satisfactory distribution.
Those who grade, ack, and brand
their barrels i'm accordance with pro-
visions of the Sulzer law should be
more successful in making quick and
satisfactory sales than otherwise
When apples are packed in standard
barrel as established by section l of
the Sulzer law. and are plainly and
conspiciously marked as containing
one barrel of apples of one of the
standard grades described in section
2. such "A statement if true would con-
stitute a satisfactory compliance with
the net-weight amendment Of the food
and drugs act. Otherwise the package,
if intended for interstate commerce.
must be marked to comply with the
net-weight amendment To show the
quantity of the contents, either by
weight or by dry measure or by
numerical count must be qualified by
the size of the apples expressed as
the average diameter in inches to be
a statement of quantity.
With respect to Europe. the Office
Of Markets urges exporters to care
fully watch the movement and assure
themselves of steamer space and a
demand on the other side before
making shipments. Latest announce
ments Of steamship companies are to
the effect that fairly regular schedules
will be maintained between America
and the United Kingdom.
For the benefit of those who may
not be disposed to exercise especial
care in handling the crop. on the
grounds that it will not be worth
while, the ONCE of Markets suggests
1t as probably being true of this year
that not only proper handling, but al
so great diligence will be required for
effecting satisfactory distribution.

PLAN TO PRUNE BUSH FRUITS
Remove All Wood From currant and
Gooseberry Bushes That Is More
Than Four Years Old.

In response to an inquiry regarding
the pruning of currants and goose
berries, the division of horticulture OF
the Oregon Agricultural college re.
piled recently:
Both currants and gcoseberries pro
duce their fruit on wood two. three.
four or five years old. The new oue-
year-old wood seldom bears much
fruit. Wood more than four years old
usually grows rather weak and bears
only small amount of rather inferior
fruit.
1t Is generally considered advisable
to remove all wood from both currant
and gooseberry bushes that is mere
than four years old. Then thin out the
new canes that came up from the
ground or near the ground last season
to three or four of the strongest ones
and head these back to about two feet
In length.
IF this plan is followed season after
season, your gooseberry and currant
bushes will consist each year Of three
or four one-year-old shoots. three OF
four two-yearold. and also of four
year-old branches"
