Success Rests on High
Degree of Health

6NHE foundation upon which all
successful poultry operations rest
4 is constitutional vigor. according
t. poultry experts of the department
OF agriculture without a high de-
gree of health it is utterly impossible
to progress in poultry work, and
there is no other place where eondi-
I tons are so conducive TO poultry sue
cess as they are on the farm. The
farmer has the advantage of having
free range for his birds, which means
ar unlimited supply of bugs, insects.
green food and grit as food supply.
Poultry strongly constituted means
highly fertile eggs and the produc-
ton of good, strong chickens Eggs
produced from fowls that have free
range on the farm hatch better than
those from fowls that do not have
that advantage. In feeding the farm
err has the advantage over other
lpcultrymen. Where live stock is kept
there is a considerable amount of
grain dropped upon the ground
which could not be utilized other
than by poultry This grain in most
cases would be a total loss to the av-
erage farmer unless eaten by the
Z
fowls.
On the farms milk is available for
feeding Its value as an egg producer
is not exceeded by any other one feed
in existence. Chaff from the barn
left, containing many feeds that are
readily consumed by poultry. can be
used as a bed of litter in the poultry
house instead of being wasted.
1t is essential to successful poultry
raising to know at all times the ages
of your fowls. This can be readily
done by toe punching chicks as soon
as Matched, which will obviate the
killing of the young hen and pullets
before their days of usefulness are
over To do this use a small harness
punch; perforate the outside web Of
the right foot between the toes, and
the following year punch on the in
side of the right foot The age of the
f.ocks can thus be told year by year.
As soon as the hen starts TO mott
after the second laying season it is
advisable to market her, as in molt-
ing she will produce very few eggs,
and by keeping her through this
period. which lasts about 90 days,
there is little to gain, and often the
fowls die during this time.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-02-13
Feeling Fowls

Fowls should have empty crops in
the morning, and the crops should
never be quite full until it is time 10
go to roost at night For the first
feed, grain scattered in the litter
early in the morning is preferred, the
sooner the better after the birds leave
the roosts.
This induces them to exercise,
which is especially important on cold
mornings. In the middle of the day
warm, moistened mash should be
given, about what they will eat with
in Is or 20 minutes. and at night
about an hour before they go 10 roost
a liberal feed Of grain should be scat
tered in the litter. Care should be
used in the selection of fish-scrap for
the dry mash used in feeding layers
an oily scrap is said TO give a fishy
taste to the egg. a clean. perfectly
dry fish-scrap is free from oil and
will not produce the fishy taste.

@S many a small farmers place.
II II and for that matter, on num-
" bers of large ones. the piano box
style Of poultry house is deservedly
popular.
AS easily can be seen by the de-
signs accompanying this article, and
which were drawn specially for the
Farm and Home Magazine Section.
there are three different types avail
able at very little cost In fact, any
handy man can construct any one or
these chicken houses. And they viii
be found admirable where only a
few chicken are kept
Of course. such houses obtained
their name from the fact that some
one once conceived the idea Of utiliz-
ing a piano box for the purpose. But
for that matter, a piano box. if there
be one available. will be found an
admirable frame.
Chickens need principally warmth
and shelter. The piano box viii give
these admirably and if il be rooted
with any sort of the patent roofings,
IL will be found TO be very service
able. 1t should be whitewashed in
side regularly.
of course, it should be said that
this article is by no means meant for
those who make business of poultry
raising. 1t is. however, intended for
the man who feels he would like 20
keep few birds but is puzzled about
how 10 go about the preliminaries-.
Type A is the popular one for the
small yard.
No greater space is needed than the
box will stand on. The birds are
given practically on enclosed run
while the rear part of the house
serves as covered sleeping quarters
So simple in construction are any
OF these designs that they can be con
structed entirely from the drawings
published herewith.
The hint for this was furnished US
by a well know Washington farmer.

tion will be delighted TO receive

Winter Feed for Fowls

An ample as well as a varied sup
ply of green feed to hens during the
winter is important for the health of
the fowls. Its value does not lie IN
the amount of nutriment it contains.
but as an agent in digestion. Fowls
eat more when fed green food than
otherwise Vegetables induce in
creased eating, hence increased egg
production.
Nearly all the common vegetables
are relished by fowls. and they should
be fed al regular intervals. Mangels
are easy TO raise and keep well. Cab
bsge is a good food; the hens like il,
and II dose not flavor the egg Tur-
nips are an excellent vegetable for
fowls when grown right, stored and
cooked. Rape is an excellent green
food TO plant in the runs. Potatoes
are good only when boiled. As a rule
they are too expensive TO feed to poul-
try. Onions. when they can be had,
are an excellent feed and, like let
tuce, are excellent for chicks. Silage
may be used provided that only a
small quantity is fed at first until the
hens become thoroughly accustomed
to IL

Few Good Points on
Setting a Hen

N Fed the sitters corn or wheat, all
I7 they will eat, and provide grit,
q water and a little green food.
provide also a box of earth for dust
ing.
The hen will usually hatch best in
a nest on the ground, but the ground
should not be too hard. Cover it with
chaff, or short straw or hay. If the
hen is set on a board floor, put in two
or three inches of moist earth, hollow
the nest slightly in the center, and
cover with straw or hay. Planer
shavings are also good nesting ma
terial.
Dust the hens with a good insect
powder or tobacco dust when setting
them. and again 10 days later rub il
well into the roots of the feathers.
Put a spoonful of the same material
OF a moth bah in the center of the
nest With this treatment the hen
should be free from these pests dur
ing the period of incubation.
After six or seven days of incuba-
ton, the infertile eggs may be taken
out and saved for the chicks. Rotten
eggs should also be removed. II Il
number of hens are set at one time,
they may be doubled up after testing:
that is, if as many as a setting are
tested out, one hen may be reset on
fresh eggs An egg tester may be pur-
chased from a poultry house, or a
small box may be used in which an
electric light globe may be put \
coal oil lamp or candle may be used
instead of an electric light bulb. In
one side of the box cut a hole about
the size of an egg Testing is done ia
a dark room or at night by holding
the egg to the light at the hole in box.
An infertile egg viii look clear, just
Ike a fresh egg, only it has little
larger air cell. fertile egg viii

the American and Asiatic classes The

Fertility of Eggs

different hens very in size, even when
the hens are of the same breed one
hen may lay an egg weighing more
,ban two ounces; another, less than

is not necessarily the one that lays
the largest egg. The hen that lays
small egg may produce so many more

though her eggs average much less

There is a great difference in eggs

The chief causes of infertility in eggs
is close confinement OF the layers.
Exneriments have shown that eggs
produced by fowls on free range are
more fertile and hatch better than
those from fowls confined IN Ea1os'
In these experiments about tnree
times as many eggs tested interule

having unrestrained range. N.hetner

was due TO possibly greater exercise
or to natural foods found on the
range. the experiment does not snow

Poultry Notes

1t requires a close observer TO be
successful.
Make rules, and be sure you live
up to them yourself.
Good luck and lazy poultrymen are
not acquaintances.
The man yho postpones and neg
lects is the one who invites failure.
The man who changes every time
new breed is put upon the market
never has anything more than the
plain chickens
This is the time to get hustle. The
rainy days are here. and no good poul-
tryman will let his fowls wade around
in wet yards Put dry straw in the
covered runs, and see to it that it IS
kept dry by changing frequently.
Healthy, vigorous hens, properly
housed and fed, cannot fail to produce
a goodly number of eggs during the
season of high prices.
An enterprising chicken raiser who
has gone into the business in Alaska
writes to the department of agricul-
ture that he is clearing $500 per year
on each hen he owns.
