Our Evening Thought

As the rivers furtherest flowing
Ia the highest hills have birth,
As the banyan spreadeth growing
Often bows its head to earth,
As the nOblest minds grow onward,
Channels far for good to peace,
So the largest hearts bend downward,
Circling all the human race.

you had to do to get claim was to squat
on your choice 100 acres for fourteen months

$1.25 per. Today this land is worth $50

the investment from $1.25 to $3.50, Daddy be-

poultrymen selecting by means of the trap nest
is impractical. 1t takes too much time. 1t has
been found at the Kansas Experiment Station.
as well as several Others that as general rule
the pullets which lay at the youngest age also
lay the most eggs during the ensuing year.
Therefore, if one watches their flock and marks
the birds that lay first, one may be fairly sure
that they are getting the better layers. This
is the time of year to do this.
At the same time, the fact has been worked
out at several of the stations that the hen of
any of the yellow legged breeds that shows
good, yellow legs at this time of year is a poor
layer The good layer seems to absorb all OF
the yellow pigment from her shanks and puts
it into the yolks of the eggs she lays The re-
suit is that at this time of year any hen that
shows bright yellow legs should be discarded
poor layer.
Beyond this, in order to build up really
good laying flock it is necessary to pedigree the
male birds. 1t has recently been discovered
that the ability to transmit high egg production
is limited to the males. In other words, hen
that lays 200 eggs cannot transmit the ability
to lay large number of eggs to her daughters
She can transmit that to the sons, who in turn
can transmit it to his daughters. In order to
follow this up, trap nesting and pedigree hatch
ing are necessary, which, as already suggested.
are out of the reach of most poultry keepers.
The last step then in the fall work of building
up laying flock should be to purchase from
some breeder who does pedigree his stock, a
standard bred male which is the offspring of
high producing hen, or better still which has
in his pedigree for several generations back a
large number of big producers Breeders who
producing this kind of birds are not so
plentiful yet that wait until late
winter or early spring to secure these birds
the time to attend to this matter is now.
Given a flock of strong, vigorous females.
furnished with variety of feeds, which in
clude plenty of animal feed and greenness, a
house which is dry, cheerful with sunshine and
we'll ventilated, and free from drafts one may
look forward with reasonable assurance to a
fair egg production during the coming winter.
If in addition to this, male bird is secured
from high laying strain to mate with these
birds the coming spring, still better produc-
ton may be expected next winter.

handling large amounts of feed, as well as re-
productive organs capable of carrying heavy
body.
The vigorous hen besides having short
head and body of generous capacity will have
a pair of short, parallel legs with claws that
are we'll worn. The vigorous layer is almost
without exception very active bird, which in
her effort to secure feed to satisfy the demands
of her appetite scratches early and late. The
result is that the long clawed individual can
usually be put down hen that is poor
layer and probably one that lacks physical
thrift. The vigorous hen that is good layer
will always be among the last the perch
at night and the first to be down scratching
in the morning. The hen that is to lay through
out the winter must have the very best sort of
circulation in order to keep her warm. 1t IS
only the active hen that will have a rapid
circulation
cal evidence of weakness are weeded out of the
flock in the fall, plans must be made to supply
them with as nearly the same variety of feed
that the birds en- Joy during the spring months.
Some arrangement should be made for supply
ing succulent feed. If possible, supply of
mangel wurzel beets should be secured. These
well relished by the hens who will leave
only the rinds. They are easy to prepare sim
ply being split open so that the hen may get
at the juicy substance of the beet. If these
beets cannot be secured, arrangements can al
ways be made for sprouting oats. During most
of the year winter wheat will offer pasture for
the chickens and furnish them greenness with
little labor
To take the place of the bugs and worms,
meat scraps should have part in the ration.
This is a commercial product which will keep
through the hottest summer, and which fur
nishes protein at four cents pound when
purchased at the rate of 500 per ton or So per
hundred. If possible, sour milk or butternlilk
should be supplied the birds in addition to the
meat scraps. A ration which has been success
fully used at the Kansas Experiment Station,
as we'll as others is made up as follows:
MASH FORMULA
90 pounds corn meal
90 pounds wheat middlings or shorts
so bounds
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1915-11-27

80 pounds wheat bran
10 pounds 1inseed oil meal
10 pounds nlled alfalfa
l pound salt
This is to be fed in connection with a scratch
ing feed consisting of
3 parts by weight of wheat
parts by weight of corn
l part by weight of oats
Where sour milk or butter milk is supplied
the fowls the proportion of meat scraps may
be cut down ten pounds. If winter eggs to
be produced, arrangements must be made to
supply the green feed and the animal feed
before actual freezing weather effectually cuts
off the natural supply. Grit and oystershel1
should be before the fowls at all times.
Before the fine weather fails and snow flies,
attention should be given to the poultry
house. While it is true that moderate tenn
perature is of the spring conditions, it has
been unp1easantly shown by experience and e,-
perirnents that where one is forced to make
choice between the two conditions, fresh air
and warmth, the low temperature is the lesser
of the two evils, and chickens are actually more
comfortable and, therefore, lay better in
house that is cold, but furnishes abundance
of fresh air, than they do in one that is COM
fortably warm, but does not have good ventila-
ton. It goes almost without saying that if the
poultry house is drafty the knot holes and
cracks must be stopped up. The house should
be tight as possible three sides with
generous open window space the fourth
side, which will admit plenty of fresh air and
sunshine. Most poultry houses are built too
tight That is one reason why chickens are
prone to roost in trees, in quite cold
weather. Whenever the poultry house is made
the most comfortable place the farm for
the birds to sleep, they will be found sleeping
there. 1t will be the most comfortable if it
protects them from the wind, allows the sun
shine and fresh air to enter, and is at the same
time dry. The ventllating window at the front
of the house needs to be protected only by a
light frame covered with cheese cloth. This
protection is necessary only in time of storm to
keep out the rain or snow
In order to have first class laying flock,
there must be in addition to the furnishing of
spring conditions definite breeding for high
egg production. For most farm and town

1t is easy to laugh when the skies are
blue
And the sun is shining bright;
Yes, easy to laugh when your friends
are true
And there's happiness in sight;
But when hope has fled and skies are
gray,
And the friends of the past have
turned away,
And, then, indeed, it's a hero's feat
To conjure a smile in the face of
defeat.
It's easy to laugh when the storm is
Ger
And our ship is safe in port;
Yes, easy to laugh when you're on the
shore
Secure from the tempest's sport.
But when wild w wash DER the
storm swept deck,
And your gallant ship is a battered
wreck,
All, then is the time when it's we'll
worth while
To look in the face of defeat with
a smile.
It's easy to laugh when the battles
fought
And you know that the victory's
won;
Yes, easy to laugh when the prize you
sought
Is yours when the ace is won.
