The Utility Hen.

That the utility hen-the biddy that
hasn't all the fancy points and hen mil
linery necessary in an exhibition fowl,
of eggs-is coming into her own is
evidenced by the fact that nearly all
the pig shows held this season have
contained classes for this type. The
managers of the various shows have
arrived at an appreciation of the fact
that the hen that doesn't conform at
all to the arbitrary standards of those
who have the say-so in telling how a
show bird should look, but that has
the faculty, or the ability, to lay some
thing like 200 eggs a year, or maybe
more, Is of greater value to humanity
in general than the bird that looks
like a picture, and lays about as many
eggs as a picture hen might.
So the men who prepare the entry
lists for the big and little shows have
this year made provision for poultry
of this kind Breed and fine show
points do not count in these classes.
The requirements are that the hens
must be layers of plenty of market
able eggs, and that at the end Of the
profitable laying period the hens car
cass must also be marketable. A hen
that will produce about 200 eggs in
her first full year of productiveness
pounds of f1rst-class meat is the type
that is desired by many practical poul-
trymen: and it is this type of hen that
the utility classes have been provided
for.

Longer Usefulness for Hens.

Frank c. Hare, poultry husbandman
of the Clemson. S. c. Agricultural Col
lege, proposes that the years of useful
ness of hens as layers be doubled as
means of obviating necessity of the
annual renewal of laying flocks. Mr..
Hare suggests that this may be done
by SO adjusting matters in the poultry
yards that heavy egg yield during the
pullet year may be cut down, to the
end that the egg yield in following
years may be more evenly distributed
He says:
Under existing conditions the poul-
tryman is burdened with the neces-
sity of reproducing his flock every year.
Efforts should. in my opinion, be direct
ed toward the prolongation of the hens
laying capacity, and that, instead of
a renewal of the flock after the breed
ing period has been reached, the egg
yield in the pullet year should be ad-
justed so that yields in succeeding
years may be evenly distributed, thus
obtaining layers with a longer useful
ness"
On it's face, at first glance. Mr.. Hare's
proposition appears to have merit.
When considered. however, it may
readily be seen that present methods
in poultry culture would have to be
wholly overturned and the industry
placed on an entirely different basis if
the suggestion were adopted.
Nature has provided that a hen shall
lay about SO many eggs in her entire
life Investigation and research in
state and government laboratories has

to breed a strain of heavy-laying poul-
try. which, when the laying days of
the hens are over, can be converted
into six or eight pound roasters or
boiling fowls, is nowadays stunning
the racy, finely bred types that catch
the eye of the careless or unobservant,
that capture the blue ribbons and that
usually leave the egg basket empty. He
isn't after that kind of fowl. as is
shown by the fact that it has been a
long time since $1,000 was paid for a
single sweepstake cockerel, or $500 for
pullet bred to the purple.
Today the effort Of practical poultry
men is to find or to develop a strain
of fowl each individual hen of which
will lay as close to 200 eggs year as
possible. The worlds record is 301
eggs laid in $50 days. Very few hens
approach this record, but there are a
great many hens in the United States
that have made records in their first
full year as layers of above 200 eggs.
Such hens represent the maximum of
actual practical value to the poultry
man. 1t doesn't cost any more to feed
and house a 200-egg hen than it does
to care for a hen that lays only 100
eggs. Selection, care in mating, prop
er choice of blood lines SO as to avoid
inbreeding, and proper methods of in
the chicks during their period of
growth-these are the secrets of build
ing up a strain of heavy layers, Just
as they are the secrets of building up
strain of fancy exhibition birds. The
only difference is in the object sought
to be attained and the selection of
qualities to be developed and fixed.

Ready for Big Show.

Premium lists for the big show to be
held at the Arcade January 1928, in
elusive, under the auspices of the Ma

cations are that the show will be the
best and biggest ever held in the Ma

1t was stated at Friday nights meet
ing that inquiries which have already
come to the officers of the association
indicate a wider interest in the COM

Fifth Week of Contest.

The close of the fifth week of the
great egg-laying contest at Philadel-
phia, in which 100 pens of five hens
each are entered, shows the single
comb white Leghorns far in the lead.
The Leghorns number forty-five pens,
almost one-half of the total number
entered. At the close of the fifth week
the entire 100 pens had laid 1885 eggs,
and of this number the single-comb
white Leghorns had laid 1858 eggs. The
single pen of Columbian Wyandottes
and the two pens of white Orpingtons
in the contest had not laid a single
egg in the first five weeks. One pen of
Faverolles is entered in the contest,
and the five hens have laid thirty-five
eggs; while the single pen of buff Leg
horns has laid ffty-four eggs. The
white. Wyandottes, of which there are
ten pens, stand second to the white
LeghornS in pen averages. Five-week
totals and pen averages for breeds rep
resented by at least four pens were as

sold at a price at least equal to their
cost of production; in the meantime the
flock has been reproduced at a nominal
cost, which cost will be wiped out in
the sale of the surplus cockerels and
breeders in the following fall.
In the proposed system the yield in
the pullet year will be cut down; a loss
in income will occur in consequence of
plus males and culls will not be avail
able.
If the life of the layer be SO prolong-
ed that she will give an even flow of
eggs over period of, say, five years.
the labor of Matching, brooding and
high rate of mortality will overcome
the saving of labor is not known, but
it is safe to assume that several dec
ades will have elapsed before a strain
in longevity. il it can be done at all.
Under present conditions pullets are
bred with the sole end in view of OBJ
tanning from them the maximum egg
yield during their first laying year.
Time OF Matching, methods of feeding,
brooding. etc, are regulated with this
end in mind. A certain proportion of
the pullets, those that come closest to
the individual breeders ideal as to
form, size, egg yield, etc, are reserved
for breeders the second year, and the
others go to the block table fowls.
In this manner the pullet is forced to
her utmost egg capacity in her first
year of laying, and the money she
brings as a table fowl more than pays
the cost of Matching, brooding. feeding
and caring for her-or, at least, 1t
should do so. It is difficult, therefore,
to see what advantage lies in reducing
the output of pullet eggs, stretching
the period of egg production over a
number of years. and consequently in
creasing the cost of feed. care. etc,
with no reasonable assurance Of an in
creased grand total of eggs per hen.

This weeks prize winner follows:
Many step, and many hours of
time, can be saved by any poultry
man who is able to plan his work in
telligently, SO as to obtain the utmost
efficiency in the work of properly car
ing for the chicks and fowls. The use
of labor-savinE devices. almost all of
which may be made at home by any
nary carpenter tools, will be of much
assistance in economizinS time and
labor.
The homemade feed hopper shown
In the photograph, is easy to make and
works just as we'll as the metal hop
pers sold at poultry supply houses.
Dressed lumber must be used, though
1t 1s not necessary that the lumber
should be matched, as shown i'll the
picture The hopper may be twenty
four inches high, eighteen inches wide
and twelve inches through at the top,
tapering in to a depth of nine inches
at the opening. The cover is sloped,
to prevent hens from roosting thereon.
The opening, through which the fowls
obtain the grit, feed or whatever is
used in the hopper, should be four or
five inches above the bottom of the
box Inside, the hopper may be diVid-
to oe used for grit. oyster shell. char
coal, beef scrap, etc. The hopper may
be constructed with only single COM
partment for feeding dry mash. \
a hammer are all the tools needed for
building such a hopper, and the de-
vice will last Indefinitely. The reason
for using dressed lumber is that the
dry mash, grit. charcoal or other feed
will run down into the opening better
when the inner surface of the hopper
is smooth than it would If the surface
was rough. The cover of the box
should be hinged and provided with a
hook and screweye, so that it may be
fastened down after filling.
Colony coops for hens with broods
of chicks are easily made with the
same equipment of tools and ma
terial. The coops should be about
thirty inches high in front, twenty
four inches high at the back, thirty-six
inches wide and thirty inches deep.
This gives the hen plenty of room and
obviates the danger of her trampling

productive cells are hereditary in the

hen, any more than it can in any other

sion Is obvious that with the hens short

that nature. in the case of the hen, as
with other animals, has provided Ii large
number of cells in excess of actual re-
quirements simply to take care of the

universe.
Automatically, the present system
consists of the cost of any number of

may produce; the second year these
pullets become breeders to a limited

All peers above the rank of baron are
pluralists in the matter of titles, but
the Duke of Buccleuch. who has just

His forebears married the daughters
and sisters of kings. and he himself
was lineal descendant of Charles II,
to whom the family owed the highest
title. Charles son. tne Duke of Mon
mouth, married Anne Countess of Buc-
cleuch. and on their wedding day Ammo

such thing as distinctive egg type of
hen, and that heavy layers may be
found among birds that are qualified
for competition in the biggest shows.
How ever, such claims usually are based
on mere Il believe so'' evidence, and
the tabulated, reduced-to-fgures statis-

That hens possessing all the points of
