More Money From Eggs
BY H. L. Kempster,


Bad eggs cause Missouri far
mers a loss of between three and
four million dollars annually.
Government experts estimate that
five per cent of the eggs market
ed have developing chickens and
thai three per cent are "rOts'
due to the embryo decaying. All
these losses could be avoided by
beeping BOOSTERS out of the flOcks
thus only infertile eggs pro-
lduced. If Missouri farmers
IMOnld follow this plan, they
could save one and three-fourths
millions of dollars annually.
Infertile"' eggs produced by
flocks in which thre is no male
bird are the only kind that can
reach the consumer in good con
dition during the hot summer
months. The only object in
having a male bind in the flock
is to get fertile eggs for hatch
lang purposes. Now that the
Matching season is over, the
Missouri College of Agriculture
urges all farmers TO sell off all
the rOOsters or shut them away
from the hens.
Last year in July and August
nearly one-half the eggs leaving
the farms were unfit for food.
The farmer, as a result, received
a low price. Prevent that loss
this year by getting rid OF the
rooster. Now is the time to act
10 prevent future losses.

Care of Young Chicks.
Rv IL l.

BY II. l.. kempster.
Studies at the Missouri Agri-
cultural Experiment Station
warrant the following recon-
mendations in regard TO the care
and feeding of young chicks;
During the first two days of
the chick s life it should rest and
be kept warm. 1t is better
without having food until it is
forty-eight hours old. Then the
following mixture should be fed
in dry litter and also in a shall
low tray 3 parts finely cracked
wheat, 3 parts finely cracked
corn, l part steel cut oats. Keep
some of this in the litter all the
time.
Chicks should have access to
a clean drinking fountain which
should be so constructed that
they cannot get themselves wet.
1t is also desirable to give them
access to sour skim milk or but
termilk. Twice daily the chicks
should receive rolled oats or the
following mixture 3 parts
bread crumbs, 3 parts corn
bread, l part boiled egg. This
mixture may be fed dry or it
may be moistened with sour
milk. A very small amount of
charcoal and finely cut green
food should also be fed.
Continue the mixture of wheat.
corn and oats until the chicks
are four weeks old changing
gradually from the finer to
more coar0Cly gOund food. Keep
he following mixture in a box
where chicks may run to it at
I'll times: 30 parts wheat bran,
20 parts corn meal. 30 part
yhest middl;ngs, 10 parts beef
''rap, sifted fine and l part
ne meal.
Keep fine charcoal and grit
here chicks may have free ac-
ass to it. Feed 4 tines daily.
Continue the green feed and
give the chicks milk. 1t may be
be advisable to feed a wet mash
once a day at 400 p. m. Feed
only what the chicks will eat up
clean befopn going to rOOst.
Change gradually from chick
food to cracked corn and wheat.
Chickens that are not yarded
Should be fed corn and wheat in
litter as a scratch food and.
should also have access to a
dry mash in a hopper where they
can help themselves.
Raise chickens with the
simplest rations possible. Clean
food, consisting of cracked and
ground grain; animal food, such
as sour milk, buttermilk, com
mercial meat scrap and bone
meal clean water, plenty of
shade, comfortable and dry quar-
tiers. freedom from lice and ae-
cess to clean fresh earth are es-
sentials for successful brOoding.

MIXING Fertilizers at Home.

Home mixing OF fertilizers has the
advantage Of permitting the farmer TO
make any combination OF plant food
that he may desire. There Is no such
thing as formula that is best for
every crop on given soil one may
mix and use at once materials which,
IL left to stand for some time, might
get in bad mechanical condition or lose
some nitrogen. thus the home mixed
product has decided advantage over
the manufactured article.
In European countries the proportion
Of plant food boush, by farmers and
gardeners in the form of raw mate
rails or OF agricultural chemicals is
much larger than II is here. 1t is q
comparatively simple matter to mix nj
home the equivalent Of a ton OF fer

phoric acid and potash

per!mental stations and the United
States Department Of Agriculture
strongly emphasize the profits to be de-
rived from home mixing. Nearly every
experiment station has advocated and
published one or more bulletins on the
subject. showing its practical advan-
tages.
