Increasing the Number of Egg.

increasing inc NunOeF OF Eggs
How can I increase the egg-laying
of my flock, is a question ev-
cry farmer would like answered and
it is comparatively easy. Every farm
er has some good layers in his flock,
but the work of these faithful hens Is
often offset by a number of dronss
that do nothing but at several times
as much as cost others. Therefore Ne
must GUST the drones before trying TO
build up the egg-laying capacity of the
flock. An attempt to increase the egg
production with lot of hens that do
not lay at all must necessarily meet
with mediocre success.
The farmer who has small flock
can tell just which hens do the laying
simply by observation; but with large
flocks the least that could be said of
such method would be unprintsble.
The farmer with any number OF hens
must employ more practical.

keeping and which are successful can

of but one way and that is by the use
of the trap nest

disadvantages: but so far 1t is the
best way to discover what the indi.
vidual hen does in the matter of lay
ing eggs. The chief disadvantage the

several times a day to release tie
trapped hens. But the farmer who is
interested in increasing the egg out
put, and therefore his poultry profit,
will usually find a way to have some
one attend to this job. To get the
full benefit of the trap nest. each hen
should wear leg band with a differ.
ent number. and whenever a hen is
released from the nest after lay.
ing an egg, the number Of her band
should be noted and an egg marked
to her credit opposite her number in
the record book. When trap nests
are used. enough should be installed
to amply accommodate all the hens
say one for each six hens kept. All
other nests should be removed from
the poultry house to discourage lay
ing any other place than In the trar
nests. This may seem lot of trouble
to some farmers, but once the system
is in use, the interest in watching
which hen will have the most eggs to
her credit at the end of the year. alone
will guarantee its continuance.

The Delavan Condensed Milk COM
pany suspended operations on Satur-
day, July 1st, following Strike of
the milk producers for more money for
their product. AS result of this,
there was considerable milk in that
locality that could not be disposed of,
the company refusing to meet the price
demanded. 1t is not known just how
soon the condenser will resume opera
TONS
! The Delavan Condensed Milk COM
pany is corporation in which Chicago
/ parties owned the controlling interest.
When the Und erwood tariff law re-
moved the tariff from case milk they
lost SO heavily that recently they made
| several changes in their system OF
management, etc. They then rented
their factory to Ohio parties who had
large war orders to fill, with under
standing that the Ohio men could sus-
pend operations on short notice. For
time they paid good prices, but when
the farmers of the community decided
that they wanted $l.7O for their milk
in place of $3.50, the price offered for
July, the Ohio company simply gave up
the plant, with the result that the Del
AVIAN milk producers are up against it
as far as selling their milk IN Delavan=
Els concerned.
A compromise ended the strike of
the farmers at the Delavan Condensed
Milk company. The Milk Producers
association and the officers of the con-
densory, each side conceded point.
| The farmers wanted $1.70 per 100
pounds, and the company offered only
$3.50. The price in the future will be
