POULTRY NOTES
Selecting PuIIets.

Not every poultryman can select a laying hen
by her appearance. 1t is true students OF poui-
try husbandry generally able TO 10 this, out
few farmers and poultrymen are unless they nave
given the subject some attention
The following suggestions should be of help to
you in enumerating some of the points in the
making of a good laying hen But these points
will need to be verified. That is, you must prac-
tice IL you would become good judge or at least
learn how to select your own pullets for lsyers.
And 1t will be necessary for you to know how to
select If you to improve your flock.
Judging poultry is said to be n finer art than
the selection of other farm animals, but the man
or woman who picks pullets with a fine head,
alert eyes and comb face and wattles of fine tex
ture, has taken the first step toward Increased
egg production. Good pullets should stand square
on their feet, with legs wide apart with the front
end of the body slightly higher than the posterior
end, and with n long back and tail carried rather
high. The body should be wedge-shaped, yielding
ample room for the reproductive and digestive
organs

mary over William B. Brinton of
Dixon. the Roger Sullivan entry. by
vote of avalanche proportions. He
has carried Cook county by nearly
three to one over Brinton, and he
rolled up an even larger percentage of
votes out in the state. In Sangamon
county, of which Springfield is the
county seat, Dunno beat his rival
about five to one.
On the face of incomplete returns,
William Loimer is defeated by about
1000 votes by Arthur w. Fulton for
nomination for congressman from the
Sixth district.
Returns indicate Congressman Mann

When Eggs Are Highest.

How to get eggs in late fall and early winter
when they are highest is a serious problem with
most poultrymen.
Taking it for granted that the pullets were
matched early and have made good growth during
the summer season, would get the entire flock
of spring pullets, yearngs and all into winter
quarters in September. That is, we would have
the poultryhouse and yards put in order for win
ter then, so there will be no rearrangement to
disturb the flock in any way disarrange its
daily routine habits during late October, Novem-
ber and December, when we most desire the eggs.
One Of the principal factors for securing high
egg production in the poultry flock is exercise.
hen kept closely cooped will not lay ais many
eggs during u season she will take on fat instead
and become unhealthy. Give the hens plenty Of
range-and then get larger basket in which to
carry the eggs to market.

NEW FOOTWEAR FOR iARMY
Improved Shoe Model Will Be Hob
nailed for Service In
Mexico.

The war department appointed
shoe commission in 1912 to design u
model embodying the best points OF
all the army shoes, surprising them,
If possible. The shoe which was
adopted was of good materials, well
made on rational last designed by
the department. The interior Is per-
fectly smooth, with heel broad and low
and sole moderately thick. The arch
Is flexible and without metal shank or
other stiffening. Eyelets are used
rather than hooks. The shoe reaches
but little above the ankle; it is wide
across the ball of the foot and has a
high toe cap. 1t is comfortable, neat
looking, light in weight and easily re-
moved or put on.
AS soon as the soldiers wear out the
shoes of the type which they are now
using on the border they will be retit-
ted with the new type which the gov
ernment has ordered, says writer In
the Outlook. The newest shoe is hob
nailed and weighs three pounds seven
ounces. 1t has been adopted for MeXi-
can service because the present type
has not worn well in mountain climb
ing and has been readily cut up by the
malpais rock in Mexico. The shoe is
similar to that in use in the Italian
army.
Whether this model will be perma-
nently adopted is open to considerable
doubt. The weight of the shoes and
the stiffness of the leather nsed de-
tract from the comfort of it. 1t has
some disadvantages. therefore, but the
severe usage In Mexico made 1t desir-
able to give this type a thorough try
out in regular service.

sucn Keen senses that they can keep the tempera-
ture at close to 103 degrees without referring to
n thermometer, which instrument is never en-
ployed
Custom Matching in this country is quite an
other matter, and hns been made possible only by
the invention of incubators of the continuous
type, heated from coal-burning furnace and
requiring only comparatively small amount of
attention. 1t is line of work which farmers
wives and other women can follow with success
and TO which farmers themselves as well as the
owners of large poultry plants, turning their
attention. Men and women living near the larger
towns and especially If close to the railroad sta
ton or on trolley line, particularly well sit
uated to do custom Matching, for people keeping
n few hens will come personally with their eggs
and also call for the chickens-just as they do in
Egypt by the way, except for the means of
reyance.
The initial investment need not be large. One
can start with single machine and increase the
size of his plant as business warrants little
advertising by means of circulars, or, better, in
newspaper, will bring the custom. 1t is first
necessary, however, to learn all about running
the incubator. 1t would be foolish to seek Gus
toners before becoming thoroughly familiar with
artificial incubation and making several expert
mental hatchngs. These can be made in the fall
winter.
Along with custom Matching goes the sale of
day-old chicks This is another line which men
and women In the country elsewhere who have
but little capital mny begin in a small way and
increase with their business. The two branches
may We'll De combined Also Ii at any time tnere
be a dearth of custom-hatchng orders, the
chimes may be kept running just the same to fill
orders for nG-cy Matched chickens. For Matching
chicks, Charge based on the number of eggs in
an incubator tray is often made. If, for example,
the tray will accommodate 10 eggs, the charge
may be 50 and upwards. Just much time and
fuel required for dozen eggs for 75. OF
course, If the eggs 10 be Matched for several
toners are received at the same time, they can
be placed in the same machine but 1t will be very
difficult to decide to whom the chicks belong when
they out of the shells.
If the hatcher Is using single machines 1t iF
wise TO employ the smaller sizes. The machines
which come in sections most satisfactory for
they can be added to like sectional bookcases
as ones business grows. OF course the custom
hatcher takes no responsibility. He does his best
and If the eggs fail to hatch the loss is the GUS
toner's The hatcher has no means of knowing
that they fertile, even, until test at the
end of five days is made. Likewise, the hatcher
runs no open accounts If he is wise deposit
should be made when the eggs are left, and the
remainder paid when the chicks are delivered.
Day-old chicks best sold at fiat rate, say
10 cents apiece, with delivery charges added
Strongly made cardboard boxes especially de-
Eigned for shipping chicks are manufactured and

protect the chick from harm. If shipped soon
dried OF, food will be required, for chicken
needs nothing to eat for the first two days Of
Its existence after leaving the SHE'LL being nour-
ished by the yolk of the egg which 1t has absorbed.
For that reason, people who complain that the
practice of withholding food is cruel are wasting
their sympathies
To Just what extent these new developments
will revoutionize the poultry business of the
country, can safely even guess. 1t is GER
tain, though. that hundreds of people who for
mery raised few chicks each season with hens
will now either send their Matching eggs to Gus
tom hatchery or buy day-old chicks. The expense
is but little greater and hours of fussng with
brOody hens eliminated. People living in the
cities may now keep hens In the back yard for
they will need roosters and thus avoid the COM
plants of neighbors, and can keep breeds which
do not get broOdy.
One thing is certain, though If the egg pro-
ducers going to make the most of their op-
portunties, many of them will have to reform
their methods. The statement Is made, apparently
with authority, that there is an annual loss of
S45OOO.OOO because of the improper handling of
eggs. Much of this loss can be traced directly to
the producers-the men and women the farms.
Such facts responsible in part for the present
muchdiscussed high cost of living.
Many farmers let their eggs accumulate until
they get basketfu although it may take several
weeks. Fertile and infertile eggs are dumped in
the same lot. If hidden nest is discovered the
old hen is shoOed away and the half-incubated
eggs are sold along with the others. This is the
reason why the average market egg is unreliable.
Incubation has begun In fertile egg before 1t is
laid. In few days traces of the embryo may
easily be discovered, even though the egg simply
be kept in warm room allowed to remain in
the Ordinarily the germ soon perishes, and
then the egg is quickly added to the rotten-egg
class. An unfertile egg may be kept for many
weeks without going bad, although it may get
somewhat stale and consequently unfit for the
table.
Under the present system, the customer is pro-
tected to large extent by the big egg merchants,
who examine the eggs which pass through theii
hands by means of test known Gambling. This
Gambling is highly important part of the business
in most cities, and on the and expertness
with which the work is done depends the quality of
the product which the customer secures. The men
who candle eggs become remarkably expert-so
expert that they can handle two eggs in each hand
and grade them at a glance they are passed
quickly before hole in tin shade placed before

Eggs from iocks which contain male bird
except in the breeding season will keep longer and
be better than those laid by hens with which n
rooster Is running. Many people still hold to the
antquated belief that hens lay better II attended
by rooster. This is pure fallacy. In point
of fact the roosters annoy the hens, and may

process now, especially in the West
