QUALIFICATIONS Of
HENS FOR BREEDING
Foundation of Success in Poultry
Keeping Is Ability tc Rear
Vigorous Chicks.

A most pernicious idea appears to
be gaining ground in regard to the
qualifications OF hen for breeding.
The number OF eggs she will lay is
apparently the only passport to the
breeding pen, regardless OF develop
ment or constitution. BY all means let
us have the prolific hens for this pSr'
pose, but let us see to II that they are
otherwise qualified.
The foundation OF success In roul-
try keeping is ability to hatch and
rear strong, virile chickens, and
these can only result from strong,
well-deyeloped and well-cared-for par
ents. This also applies to the subse'
quent egg production. Therefore 1t
follows that II hen is weedy and run
down she is not a fit subject for
breeding, no matter how many eggs
she has laid. But II does not follow
that a good layer should be discard
ed as a breeder. That would be go
ing to the other extreme, but what
should be insisted upon is bodily de
velopment OF sufficient proportions
and strength to indicate breeder OF
robust stock.

INTERESTING HINTS
ON CALF BREEDING
Heavier Calves Produced From
Cows in Their Prime, Accord
ing to English Test.

From careful records taken OF 10
Shorthorn cows It was found by an
English agricultural society that the
average CESSATION periods of cows
bearing bull calves was 2Ss.9l days;
OF cows bearing heifer calves 2S3.7S
days. The longest period in the
former was 297 days, and the short
est period ESQ days; in the latter 29S
and 274 The average weight OF the
bull calves was S9.45 pounds; that of
the heifer S25 pounds, 1t was found
that the longer the period the heavier
the calf in each case.
II was noted that the heavier calves
are produced from cows in their
prime; that is. ranging from five to
seven years OF sge after that age the
calves appear to become smaller at
birth. II is thought safe to take an
average OF 2s5 days as the period OF
CESSATION and 50 pounds as the av-
ersge weight Of q Shorthorn calf at
birth.

Umbrellas and khaki seem a most

the Nive. the Grenadier guards cap

SCORE UP ONE FOR JONES

Time Methods Of Travel.

Down in the crimson clover zone
there were two farmers named Jones
and Smith, respectively. Jones was
old.fashioned and stuck to old-fash'
ioned ways, but Smith, who was more
modern, bought a fine new automo-
bile. One day he was proudly exhib-
iting to some friends when Jones
came along
"Um." remarked Jones. as he
thoughtfully sized up the handsome
machine. What's that thing there
on the side?"
That's a spare rim and tire an
