POULTRY
CONSULTING DEPARTMENT
Early Chickens for Winter LAYERS

Early Chickens for Winter Layers
Records show that the first year of
a pullet's laying is the period when
she returns the greatest per cent of
profit upon her keep. From this it is
easy to see that the poultryman who
succeeds in bringing his pullets to the
laying stage as early in life as pos
sible is the one who will get the best
results. Early chicks and the proper
care in bringing them up are things
necessary to secure this.
An incubator is very useful in this
sort of work, as the first chicks
should be Matched out not later than
February 10 and it is not usual to
have many broody hens at that sea-
son of the year. Some object to such
early chicks, claiming that they are
too hard to rear in the extremely cold
weather of that season but, if proper
quarters are provided, we think that
better results are obtained than from
the ones Matched during the change
able weather of the later months.
Chicks that are Matched after the first
of May can never be developed into
early layers.
Early chicks and good quarters are
not all that is necessary TO secure
early laying pullets, however. A prop
erly balanced ration with systematic
plan of feeding are other require
ments. Begin the feeding with 81
nourishing ration that vii. promote
development of frame and growth
rather than the putting on of fat.
where the chicks are made over-fat
the time of their reaching maturity
is likely to be greatly delayed.
If the pullets have been properly
fed and cared for by the time that
they are seven months Of age some of
them should begin laying and within
few weeks the flock should be pro-
ducing enough eggs to pay their daily
keep. By this time their rations
should have undergone a radical
change. Previously a ration that aim
ed at development of the body was

treatment for macadam road should
be one-third Of a gallon per square
yard. Before this tar or asphalt is
applied, the road should be thorough
ly cleaned and swept so that coarse
stones show on the surface. The tar
or asphalt which is used will adhere
to these stones rather than to film
of dust or screenings. After about
one-third gallon is put on the side of
the road it is well to sand it,-not
the yellow sand on the side of the
road, not the white sugar sand, but
it should be pea gravel or stone chips
so that it won't bunch or iron out
under traffic. The amount of pea
gravel or clean stone chips should be
about Is or 20 pounds to the square
yard or surfaces. If more is used it
is rather a waste because it is soon
thrown off to the side. In general
practice / would advise twenty
pounds rather than fifteen, even if
some is wasted. This should be roll
ed in with steam roller.
In patching the bituminous-bound
macadam road, the whole top course
should be cut out so as to give a
definite shoulder and the same kind of
material used for repair that was US
ed originally. If the surface is badly
punched it is hard to repair it. When
this is the case it resolves itself into

given but that is no longer necessary
and we should no be giving food that
is rich in the elements necessary Tor
egg production.
By using the proper system it is
possible to have the pullets laying
well early in the fall while summer
conditions are yet present to some
extent. This early start will have q
great deal to do with the results Sc
cured during the winter months. We
have in mind flock of 16 pullets that
during the months of December and
January laid 600 eggs that sold at an
average price Of 20 cents per dozen.
1t probably cost no more than five
cents per dozen to produce these eggs
and the profit was certainly great
enough to satisfy the most greedy.
This is surely proof that work with
pullets that insures their development
into winter layers is profitable. The
work must be begun, however, during
the early months of the year.

Says Drink Water
IfYOu Wish to Grow
Fat and Plump
THIN MEN AND WOMEN
Do You Want to Get Fat and Strong?

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing it with greasy foods, rubbing
on useless flesh creams" or follow
ing some foolish physical culture
stunt, while the real cause of thinness
goes untouched. You cannot get fat
until your digestive tract properly as
Stimulates the food you eat. Drink a
glass of cold water four or five times
a day and take the following prepare
ton known to reliable druggists al
most everywhere, which seemingly
embodies the missing elements need
ed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich, fat-lad-
en- blood. This preparation is called
tonoline, and much remarkable testi-
mony is given as to its successful use
in flesh building. Tonoline which
comes in the form of a small non
injurious tablet, taken at meals and
mixed with the digesting food, tends
to prepare fat, flesh and muscle
building elements so that the blood
can readily accept and carry them to
the starved portion of the body. You
can readily picture the transforma-
ton that additional and previously
lacking flesh making material should
bring your cheeks, filling out hollows
about you neck, shoulders and bust
disappearing, and your taking on
from Is to 80 pounds of solid healthy
flesh. Tonoline is harmless, inexpen-
sive, efficient All druggists have it
and are authorized to refund your
money if weight increase is not OBJ
tanned as per the guarantee found in
each large package.
Caution:-Tonoline is recommended
only as a flesh builder and while ex-
cellent results in cases of nervous in
digestion, etc, have been reported,
care should be taken about using it
unless a gain in weight is desired

reduced, as well as the gain per day
per steer. These are the results Sc
cured in recent test at the Missouri
agricultural experiment statsion in
which some steers were full fed while
others received much less feed.
The steers which received feed in
sufficient for the greatest growth
were most affected by such ailments
as indigestion and pink eye, and their
sickness was more likely to result in
death. In fact, among more than a
hundred steers in the experiments all
the losses except one were among the
low-fed animals.
Steers fed for long periods, such as
three years and half, on feed in
sufficient for the greatest growth, did
not seem to be able to digest their
feed and to make good gains when
later put on full feed Even a steer
whose growth was greatly retarded
for only one year never eqauled in
weight a steer of the same age which
had been full fed from birth, although
when put back on full feed he made
very profitable gains and developed
very choice carcass of beef. These
results do not disagree with the COM
mon observation that thin steers of
ten make the most profitable gains.
Such feeders have usually not been
starved so long or so steadily.
The most economical choice beef re-
suited from the use of feeder weigh
ing about $50 popnds so fed as to
make a gain of 500 pounds. Such a
steer will probably not quite top the
market, but he should make the
greatest possible profit to the feeder
and furnish an economical carcass for
the butcher and housewife, and meat
of a quality to please the most exact
ing. The carcasses show that of this
500-pound gain 38 per cent is water,
40 per cent fat and IL per cent pro-
tein. When similar steers were fat
tened until they had gained another
500 pounds, or gone from 1850 TO
1850 pounds, the carcasses were
much overdone and the second 500
pounds was 76 per cent fat, Is per
cent water and per cent protein.

Fat If You Get
More Fresh Air
Be Moderate in Your Diet and Reduce
Your Weight with Tassco

Lack of fresh air weakens the oxy-
gen-carrying power of the blood, the
liver becomes sluggish, fat accumu-
lates and the action of many Of the
viSl organs are hindered thereby.
The heart action becomes weak, work
is an effort and the beauty Of the

Fat put on by indoor life is un-
healthy and if nature is not assisted
in throwing it off by increasing the
oxygen carrying power of the blood,
serious case of obesity may result.
When you feel that you are getting
too stout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure has
become joke and your health ruined
through carrying around burden of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.
Spend as much time as you possibly
can in the open air; breathe deeply,
and get from any druggist box of
tassco, take a glass of hot water ev-
cry morning before breakfast then
take tassco after each meal and at

Fall Spraying for Peach Leaf Curl
More than twenty years ago, it
was discovered that the leaf curl of
the peach could be almost completely
controlled by spraying the trees
with certain fungicides. Spring APP
plications gave good results but
were only effectual when made at
least three weeks before the buds
started. The weather at that time
10 often unfavorable both for getting
upon the land, as well as for spray
ing the trees, and peach growers
have suffered latge losses because
they have not been able to spray the
trees at the proper time.
During the late fall, equally good
results can be obtained from spray
ing for this disease and generally it
is easier to find time to do the work
then, than in the spring. The prin-
cipal drawback is in the well-cared-
for orchards, the leaves often hold
ing on very late and making it i'm
possible to do a thorough job of
spraying. Where the leaves have
dropped, however, fall application
will be as effiectual as one made in
the spring and in sections where the
disease is very troublesome, it will

the fall and repeat the application in
the spring in order to insure a thor
ough job. The same material may be
used in the fall as for spring appli-
cations. IA
While lime-sulphur solution at the
rate of one part to eight parts Of
water may be applied where the San
Jose scale is present, if the scale has
not appeared in the orchard fully as
good results can be obtained in con-
trolling leaf curl by using two
pounds Of copper sulphate in one
hundred gallons of water; and even
at the present price of copper sui
phate, this will not be found very
expensive spray.
Whether the spraying is done in
the fall or spring, too great pains
cannot be taken to cover and soak
every leaf with the spray as those
which are not treated in this man
ner will still be subject to attack.

Stallion Needs Exercise


Allowing stallion to become abb
normally fat through constant con-
finement in a stall is poor practice
He should be exercised daily, asserts
David Gray, assistant in animal hus-
bandry in the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college. The best exercise for
a stallion is real hard work in har-
ness. He is a willing worker, and if
properly handled is as docile as any
ether horse. The draft stallion at
the agricultural college is worked on
the ensilage wagon every day. Some
times stations can be worked togeth-
er with good results. When a stall
lion cannot be worked in the harness
he should be taken out on the road
each day and exercised.
The stallion should be fed a good
nutritious ration-oats, bran, and a
little oil meal with some alfalfa and
timothy is good. Alfalfa fed to horses
should be more mature than that
given to cattle, and it should be con-
sidered as concentrate rather than a
roughage. An occasional run on a
grass pasture is beneficial to the
health of the stallion. Care should
be taken that the fences are strong,
for if stallion once breaks through
he is likely to try it again.
