MAKE PREPARATION
FOR WINTER EGGS
Pullet Must Be Well Developed to
Become Good Producer
Hatch Them Early.

About the last Of September is the
annual worry time for those high
priced eggs. Get busy now-hatch
your chicks during March and April,
get rid of the cockerels just as soon
as they are big enough to fry-give
the pullets range, lots of feed, fresh
water and milk, and the worry time
will be only a dream.
A pullet must be well developed be.
fore cold weather to be an early win
ter producer. Our summer season is
short and we must take advantage of
every growing day and even crowd
things little by Matching early and
give our chicks little special care I'M
til warm weather when they can look
after themselves on range.
Mr.. Vaplon of the Colorado agricul-
turai college advocates early Matching
also, to get better price for the cock
erels. He says two-pound cockerel
Tin May and JuIH) is worth as much
or more than he will bring when he
weighs two or three times as much.
Getting these fellows out of the way
means also more room and better care
for the pullets.
Don't depend on hens for winter
eggs; the pullets are the only solu-
ton and they must be Matched early.

when his eye caught a glimpse of a

clerk to place an assortment of the

Ladies belt?" queried the polite
salesman. Certainly, sir; what size?"

he stammered. 81 don't know" And
he gazed about him helplessly for a

appeared to strike him. Cant you let

of his arm from shoulder to wrist.
Then, looking up at the clerk, he

World Learns Slowly.

Landsmen, as well as mariners who
few centuries ago sailed round the
earth, should have observed, even with
a little travelling, that objects such as
mountains, hills, towers, trees, etc,
which had not been sooner seen, sud-
denly began to come into view, then
to grow higher and higher as they
were approached until their full height
appeared, thus duplicating the appear
ance and disappearance of ships at
sea. Yet through ages these simple
phenomena, proving beyond doubt
the rotundity of earth, to say nothing
of eclipses, which showed the circular
shadow of earth on the moon, taught
little or nothing to the greatest of men.
to say nothing of the merely shrewd
ones; and there are many people
clever in everyday affairs Of life
today who still cling to the ignorance
of ancients and of years SO modern as
those of the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turtles.

Care of Meadow

Where the gophers have worked up
the meadow sod, take common gar
den rake, smooth down the dirt
mounds, sprinkle seeds over them,
brush lightly again with the rake and
you will not only avoid running your
sickles through the dirt and dulling
them, but good set of grass will
spring up and cover the ground. If
a considerable area is worked up,

animals of the type best suited to
his conditions. He must be a good
judge of horses, have a clear and well
defined idea of the type of horse he
is going to breed, and then set out to
produce it.
There are four distinct classes suit
able for production. These are the
heavy drafters, carriage or coach
horses, roadsters and saddle horses.
any of these are always in demand
and command high prices. OF these
four classes, the heavy draft horse is
best suited for Arizona farming. These
may be raised on the range or on al
falfa pasture and marketed at a good
profit.
The draft colt can be raised with
less risk and less liability to accident
than colts of the lighter class. This
is because he is less active and slight
bruises or blemishes do not seriously
detract from the value of the drafter.
Furthermore, draft colt earns his
own living after he is two years old
and his education can be completed
on the farm. Some of the essential
points to be considered in selecting
draft horses are good feet and legs,
weight exceeding at least 500 pounds,
a well developed blocky body with
good style and action. The feet and
legs are of first importance in any
horse. A desirable draft animal may
be produced by breeding large mares
with good size and quality to first
class sire of any of the recognized
! draft breeds. Percheron horses have
been proved to be suited to conditions
in Arizona, since they have excellent
action and large size. The breeder
| should aim at perfect, heavy draft
| type and make every effort possible
| to produce it. In case the colts were
lighter in weight than expected they
could still be suited to some other
classes that would bring less money.

BY II. r. WILLIAMS, Arizona Expert
nnent Station)
In no other one line of live stock
production has there been such lack
Of study or system as that of horse
production. For many years the farm
srs have practiced haphazard meth
DDS of breeding, feeding, care and
management as well as preparation
for market. They have bred and
reared horses without any regard to
their own local demand or the re-
9uirements of users from a distance.
Horse breeding when judiciously
carried on has been a profitable bust
ness for American farmers. If horses
sre bred with a definite object in
view, as some special class, one need
not be afraid of poor market. How
ever, farmers who do not exercise
care and business methods in the pro-
duction of desirable sorts will un-
dOubtedly find that they have too
many insists on their hands that can
not be sold at profit.
To be successful horse breeder a
man must be thoroughly familiar with
the horse market, know the various
classes, and set about to produce the
animals that are in demand. In the
great markets, horses are classed ac-
cording to their work 1t is impossi-
BILE to draw hard-and-fast lines be-
tween some of the classes, but most
of them are fairly well defined A
horse that is known in one part of
the country by one name may be diff
fereDt from horse which is referred
to by the same name in another part.
However, there are certain distinct
classes which are given the same
name the world over, and it is with
these that the farmer should familiar
lie himself.
After the farmer knows the various
types in greatest demand on the mar
ket he should aim to produce superior

NOTES PICKED UP
IN POULTRY YARD
Little Details Make Difference
Between Success and Fall
ure With Chickens.

Keep the hens we'll supplied with
water to drink. and see that the chill
Is taken off it in the cold weather.
If you have not been in the habit
Of giving them all they need, you will
be surprised at how much they will
drink. They should have all they
want, but it must be clean and not too
cold If a hen gets chilled she will
stop laying.
1t is the little details that make
the difference between success and
failure in poultry raising.
The pulIets that are filling the egg
basket their first winter are the ones
that delight the farmers heart, and
the poultry man who has such a
flock is now reaping the reward of his
well-managed business.
Pullets Matched in March or April
and properly taken care Of, should
begin laying in November, if not be-
fore, and continue laying all through
the winter, when the price for eggs
is highest.
The egg shells from the eggs used
in the kitchen should be dried and fed
to the hens. They will help out the
supply of lime which the hens must
have in some form, to prevent them
laying soft shelled eggs.
Be sure to crush the shells so there
viii be no danger of teaching the
hens to eat eggs.
The very best of food without a
plentiful supply of pure, fresh water
will fail to induce the hens to lay.
Reduce the drinking part of your
hens ration and the egg yield will
soon be reduced, for water is the
principal substance in an egg and II
cannot be reduced.
Next to pure air, water is the cheap
est thing we can supply our poultry.
If the mash you feed is given to the
fowls warm these cold days, it will
be invigorating, but If 1t becomes cold
or frozen before it is consumed II
is very unsuitable food, as the fowls
will then be compelled to take consid
cradle cold water in the mash, which
chills them.
Don't forget the hens dust bath
They must have it to be healthy ant
happy.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1915-04-16
Comfortable Stock.

Keep the poultry comfortable.
Good food, good care and comfortable
quarters are the important factors in
making poultry pay. If the hens are
getting the aforementioned attention
and still not laying. they should make
up for lost time when the Matching
season comes around.
