Scratchings in the Poultry Yard
UP NGOR.

BREEDERS that have the strongest
u stock will never use for any
breeding a fowl that has at any time
been sick. 1t is the n safe way to
keep the vigor of the flock up.
In the care of fowls during the Fall
nothing is more important than this
question OF placing the fowls IN
healthy condition in the Winter quar-
tiers, that are properly ventilated and
kept clean, and the proper floor space
given to each flock.
In the majority Of cases too many
fowls are housed together. From
three to three and a half square feet
floor space is not too much for the
lighter breeds. while the heavier
breeds should have from four to five.
Many poultry-keepers have good re-
suits with less floor space to each
fowl, but to the beginner plenty OF
room will be safest.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-01-14
Winter Precautions.

Before placing the fowls in the
Winter quarters the poultry building
should be thoroughly cleaned and
well dried, for at this time of year,
with the many sudden weather
changes, a dry house is essential. Fall
colds, ehickenpox, ETC.. are checks to
egg production, and the effect is more
lasting than most poultry-keepers
credit. Colds be avoided by we'll
ventilated poultry quarters and plenty
of houseroom.
OVercrowded quarters, especially
in the Fall and early Winter, are the
cause of many colds, often leading
into roup, if not promptly checked.
Chickenpox or sorehead, if appearing
in the flock, should be promptly
stamped out. 1t can only be success
fully COPIED with by removing at once
all fowls that show symptoms of the
pox and treating separately.
To try to effect a cure by placing
medicine in the drinking water, al
lowing the sick fowls to mingle with
those that are well, is folly. Every
sick fowl should be removed from the
rest of the flock at once. 1t is sell
dom that any illness will attack a
flock well raised and managed, and
it is wise to keep any fowls that have
been Ill in a house by themselves un-
til disposed of.-Philadelphia Record.

and new. Some breeders prefer a
mixture of t%wo-thirds corr and one
third oats, and occasionally give a
cornmeal mush feed.
1t is said that turkeys will fatten
more readily on Northern white flint
corn, and the flesh will be of a finer
quality. While fattening turkeys
must not be cooped up. They must
have their liberty, and if regularly
given two meals a day they will not
be inclined to roam. To pen them in
a building or other inclosure will re-
suit In loss of appetite if not sickness.
During this confinement they soon
tire of the food given them, will start
to quarrel with other birds in the
pen, become restless, and at killing
time will not weigh as much as when
they we're first penned up. The tur-
key pines for associates; with them
1t Is liberty or death. York

Duck Eggs Are Gaining in Favor

(by L. A. Hart in Pacific Poultryman.)
IA UGH has been said regarding
duck eggs and their relative
value compared with hens
eggs, so ! trust what | have to a
VIII at least gain the attention of
those engaged in raising ducks of any
variety. l have never engaged In
raising ducks but have had the pleas
ure OF placing the eggs on market for
several poultrymen around Portland.
There seems to have arisen the ques-
ton whether there really Is a market
for duck eggs at the same price of
hens eggs.
The squad breeders of the North
west used to depend on newspaper
quotations as a basis for their selling
price consequently they seldom real
lied oyer SO per dozen. Now 1t is diff
ferent, squads bring as high as Sc per
dozen, seldom less than $3.50.
The Oregon Cooperative SQUAD As
ISOLATION is the result of SQUAD rails
ers. both In Oregon and Washing
ton. The duck raisers can accomplish
much In the same way. The main
point Is to get the disinterested pub
lie to try a pure white duck egg. then
the rest is easy.
The Beginning.
am engaged in the butter and egg
business tretai), and have a steady
demand for fresh eggs. A year ago a
friend of mine secured a pen of PEN
ciled Indian Runner ducks and by
September they began to lay in earn
est. He offered to furnish me with
duck eggs IL / could sell them. He
was already supplying me with pure
white Leghorn eggs, SO all that was
necessary to begin was to get the duck
eggs and place them before my GUS
toners.
On the wholesale market they we're
cheaper by two cents per dozen, but |
agreed to pay the same as for other
eggs. / Insisted OF giving one duck
egg with every eleven hen eggs. l
then put an advance of five cents
over other eggs and awaited results.
Demand Increases.
To my surprise | found an increased
demand for eggs. E~yerybody's atten-
ton was attracted by their clean
white appearance and uniform size. In
the rush some of them we're sold as
just eggs. Then came repeated or
ders and more eggs had to be Sc
cured. found other farmers who
kept ducks.

cents above the market quotations.

Blooded Poultry Stock
Distributed to Farmers

THE experiment station of West
! Virginia announces for. the sec
ond time the distribution of White
Leghorn cockerels from experiment
station farm flocks. These birds are
selected from heavy laying strains
and are worth several times the pur-
chase price. yet they may be had for
virtually the cost of Grating and ship
ping.
The applicants for birds must be
farmers living on farms in the state.
All those who secure these cockerels
must agree to keep no other male
birds with their heps for two years
unless the hens are penned separated
during the breeding season. Fifty
cents Is the price asked for these
cockerels and it must accompany the
order. This just covers the cost of
Grating and delivering to the express
agent. The express on the birds must
be paid by the farmers to whom they
are sent. Not more than three cock
erels will be given to any one farmer
and the purchasers of cockerels from
the experiment station last year are
not eligible to receive them this year.
These few suggestions and regula-
lions with regard to the distribution
of blooded cockerels are worthy of
comment, because it shows that the
people Of West Virginia are alive to
the possibilities of improving the
flocks that are now on the farms of
the state.
1t is doubtful II one-tenth of the
farmers of this country, and this is
true of the Southern states as we'll as
any others, realize the possibilities of
their poultry. 1t is doubtful if these
people manage their flocks in a way
that would make 1t possible for them
to realize anything like the degree of
profit which should naturally be
theirs. This does not near that they
should have more expensive or better
equipment or more fancy houses, but
it does mea they must give the poul-
try better and more common sense
care.
The dairy COW and the hen go
splendidly together. The former is a
constant source of income, while the
latter uses the ~by-product for the
greatest profit. If handled with fair
intelligence and given half a show,
the hen will make a splendid little
side line week in and week out
throughout the entire year.

Feeding Methods.

Simple feeding methods pay best,
and simple feed rations fit best into
work of the farm. None of us would
care to go back to the wet mashes of
some years ago, which involve the
labor of daily mixing and feeding.
| depend on the hopper plan Of
feeding, supplying all the ground
grains and part of the scratch feed in
this way. On the farm, with its
many cares and duties, to adopt hop
per feeding is to bring the labor cost
down to the lowest limit of safety.
One of the simplest and best dry
mash hoppers which l have ever used
is made of an ordinary box, say 16
inches square and five inches deep.
A lath frame, covered with two-inch
mesh wire netting, fits loosely in
this, resting directly on the mash. AS
the feed is eaten this frame drops
down, permitting the birds to help
themselves, but preventing them from
wasting the material by scratching it
out.-Baltimore American.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-01-14
GREEN FEED.

IT has always been troublesome as
1 well as expensive to secure a suf-
ficient quantity OF green feed for
fowls. Green feed is necessary to pro-
mote the health of the birds and keep
them In the best condition. To try
to get eggs during the Winter months
without some form of. green food or
vegetable would be like maintaining
your work horses without feeding
them hay.
Both would soon lose their vitality
through digestive disturbances and be
unable to do their work property,
which In a hen is to produce eggs.
To purchase cabbage or some other
vegetable and store 1t over Winter
requires space and also quite an out
lay. So the next best thing is to
sprout oats for the Winter layers,
and wheat or rye for the chicks in
Spring or Summer. The oats can
be sprouted In your cellar.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1915-01-14

1led customer would tell another.
NOW l have a steady demand for duck
eggs and never have enough. 1t all
came about for this reason. am a
fancy poultry man and believe in
top prices for the farmer. So being
engaged in business does not prevent
me from cooperating with the pro-
Queer. enabling him to secure a prem
ium for his strictly fresh eggs.
More N~ourishing.
A duck egg Is not only larger than
ordinary hen eggs but contains more
n~ourishment- For baking they have
no equal. believe the best fried egg
| ever tasted was a duck egg. Need
less to say the common green egg
will not satisfy. A white egg will
attract attention every time. Indian
Runners are very desirable as a white
egg strain.
The egg farmer of today must be
awake to a few important facts: First,
he or she must gain the confidence OF
customers by demonstrating %continu-
ally that the buyer can depend on
what they say regarding their eggs
being fresh. Second, never take a
chance Of mixing old eggs with new
laid ones. To be certain, never mar
ket an egg over five days old. Don't
blame the customer for faults that
you car remedy. Because you can't
come to town oyer twice a month, or
every time ii rains hard. don't blame
the trade.
Use Diplomacy.
To be successful in business OF any
kind do not try to convince by argu-
ment. Use diplomacy always. There
are times when a customer is crooked,
or more often misinformed; in such
cases be sure you are right, then go
ahead. Try to reason rather than be
arbitrary. Having been behind the
counter since twelve years of age, and
having made many mistakes along the
lines just mentioned, | know that GUS
toners are not customers any longer
than they are treated sQuarely and
politely.
Third, II in doubt never take ad-
vantage of the doubt. Better cor
struct a Gambler from a cigar box by
cutting a hole large enough to see
through an egg, then place a tallow
candle inside. Learn the difference
In eggs "a hours old and three days
old. There is a difference and it
shows in Gambling although they look
the same when broken. Duck eggs
are gaining favor every day. l a
use more myself. VIII some reliable
duck raiser take notice?

COlorfng Plumage,

In the showroom the demand is
for pure white plumage, free from
brassiness or creaminess. This ex-
plains why some fanciers are SO par
ticular about protecting their birds
from sunburn and also why certain
Of them are seemingly foolish in the
matter of the ration used.
A friend of the writer noted
throughout America for his ability
to produce winning White Rocks and
White Wyandottes is most decided in
the belief that yellow corn imparts
a creamy tint to the plumage, and
his flock receives only white corn.-

Utility VS.. Fancy.

The utility VS.. fancy bug seems to
be getting some of the so-called
utility advocates. Utility is surely
the first thing to consider in any
fowl that a profit is to be derived
from. But those claiming 1t is i'm
possible for a fowl to have fine shape
and plumage and at the same time
be a good utility fowl have ne founda-
ton In the face of the Missouri State
laying contest, and hundreds of trap
nest users who are high-grade breed
ers.-New York Herald.
