BEST GRAINS FOR CHICKENS
Barley, Wheat and Corn Tested at
California Station and Found to
Be Equally Valuable.

The chickens digestive system is
quite different from ours, especially
In one particular. the gizzard. You
have all eaten it and know what 1t is.
but have you ever seen 1t taken from
the birds body when dressing It for
table use? II you have, you know It
Is full OF fine stones and pieces OF grit
These are used to help grind up the
food and get 1t ready for use in the
body. 30 we must see to it that our
flock is furnished with plenty OF grit
This should always be kept within
easy reach of the birds.
1t Is always a question as to what
grain will give the best results as far
as egg production is concerned. At
the California experiment station they
tested barley, wheat, and corn and
found them equally valuable IL other
feeds were used to supplement them
This being the case, 1t Is possible to
use the lowest priced grain. II wheat
Is fed, the soft wheats or the shrunken
grain that is not used for flour may
be used. However, don't ever feed
musty or spoiled grains. Some people
crack the corn before feeding but this
does not pay except with very young
chicks. 1t is a good practice to feed
finely ground mash every third or
fourth day in place Of the regular
grain feeds. This may be fed wet or
dry, but care should be taken to see
that 1t is evenly ground or the birds
will pick out the coarser particles and
waste much Of the finer part. 1t is
well to provide fresh meat from time
to time and this may often be fed
finely ground with the mash. When
using 1t be careful that 1t is fresh and
not spoiled.

PREVENT GAPES IN CHICKENS
Disease Constitutes UnanswerabIe Ar
oument for Keeping All Houses,
Yards and Roosts Clean.

(By n. 8. EAKINS, Colorado Agricultural
College. Fort Collins, Coio)
Gapes IL caused by wormlike para.
sites which become attached to the
mucous membrane OF the windpipe
and more often affects young chickens
than older ones. The wings are
dropped, head extended, the bill is
frequently opened, and a wheeling
sound is heard as the chicken ie seen
to be breathing will difficulty.
Treatment is worth while in some
instances, but the main thing is pre-
vention. The eggs of the parasites
are expelled from the mouths of dis.
eased chickens and may gain entrance
direct Into other chickens or the eggs
gettinH into the soil may be ingested
by angleworms and these being eaten
by fowls will cause them to become
affected. Magpies and other birds may
transmit the disease. This disease
constitutes another unanswerable ar.
gument for keeping chicken houses,
yards, pans and roosts clean at all
times.

The secret Of successful poultry rails
ing is to Gull. Breeding stock should
undergo q most rigid selection not on
ly for type but for constitutional vigor
for unless a bird has q good, strong
constitution 1t cannot be an economi-
cal producer. Weak chicks are more
liable to disease, they are not as good
egg producers. nor do the birds grow
and fatten as economically.
A good constitution is indicated by
a broad, deep chest, long body, active
disposition, keen bright eye, a broad
head and bright colored comb. glossy
plumage and a very well curved beak.
Birds which have any tendency to-

Lawrence.-The task of self-support
among the women students of the
University Of Kansas includes every
thing from cooking for harvest hands

The women who can do good steno-

deal OF typewriting for other students
A few furnish themselves with a little

the birds should be used 20 enable
the owner to tell the age Of his chick
ems. This can be done by tce-marking
the chicks with a punch when hatch
ed; or the mature birds may be leg
banded in the fall. The fowls for the
breeding pen should be selected from
the one and two-year-old stock in or
der to secure the largest and best eggs
for Matching. In fact the experience
OF the Missouri agricultural expert
ment station shows that In economical
reproduction few hens over two
years old should ever be retained.
The breeding stock should be sep
arated from the general flock. 1t is
an unnecessary expense to breed from
the entire nock because of the extra
male birds which will be necessary.
1t Is also poor practice to breed
from the entire flock because some OF
the birds do not come up to the keep
ers' ideal OF chickens, and for that
reason should not be used. The worst
fault Of the usual method of breeding
are O the use Of inferior males, (2)
the breeding of immature or poorly
developed stock; (3) the breeding
from the entire flock. poor as well az
good; and "a the selection of eggs
from the general egg basket. The
farmer should aim to select a few OF
the best females and then mate to
them a good. vigorous male. A few
henc properly handled will produce all
OF the eggs necessary for Matching
purposes, will eliminate the need OF
using additional males and will pro-
duce much better progeny.
