MUCH DEPENDS ON BREEDERS
Vigorous, Hardy and Resistant
to All Diseases.

Whether a farmer will raise better
poultry this year than he did last will
depend primarily upon the kind Of
stock that is used for breeding Every
baby chick is entitled to be well born.
Unless its parents are strong, yigor-
Gus, hardy and resistant TO disease, q
poor hatch" and weak, puny chicks
will result, say the poultrymen at Iowa
state college.
The use OF low vitality breeders is
the most frequent cause Of poor incu-
batting success and high death rate in
brooding. Chicks hatched from poor
breeding stock never reach the size OF
well,bred individuals. The pullets do
not begin laying until the following
spring and then hardly enough TO pay
Tor their feed.
II the flock is 10 be improved, only
those birds that show size, vigor and
reproducing qualities should be used
as breeders. Twenty-Five good females
in a roomy pen with a couple of good
males will furnish eggs for incubation
that will produce chicks worth while,
ones that will grow into big fellowt
worth a good price on the market
The pullets from such mating mature
raridiy and are in condition to lay
the winter eggs"

RAISING FEED FOR THE FLOCK
Farm That Produces Its Own Grain 10
Always Most sueeessful-oper
stlnp Expense Reduced.

"The poultry farm that produces its
own feed or a goodly part OF II is al
ways the most successful" according
to William II. Pfeifer OF Attention, Mo-,
because the feed Is always right at
hand when needed. no drayage, no
waste, the range birds seeing to the
latter.
The shattered grain does not go to
feed sparrows, crows, etc, but pro
duces chicken-meat and eggs. The
droppings go back TO the fields as
fertilizer and the operating expense or
upkeep Is greatly reduced.
Such a farm has a great advantage
over the one that has 10 buy all fits
feed, hauling II over miles OF rough
country roads, paying dearly for the
time wasted in drayage and extra han
ding. This in itself is important evi
dence OF why the farmer can produce
cheaper poultry and eggs than the
poultryman. Those who after serious
consideration decide to go into the
business should bear this advice in
mind"

GRADING THE LITTLE CHICKS
Grade According to Size and visor or
Arrange Things So Weak Ones
Are Comfortable.

Owing TO differences in the vigor OF
parent stock, age OF eggs when incu-
bated, and other causes, there are al
ways differences in the vitality OF the
chicks, and these manifest themselves
very quickly. The stronger chicks
shove the weaker away from the food,
crowd them out OF the sunniest spots
in the brooder. and take the best Of
things generally.
Since the most vigorous chicks are
the most valuable. we do not like 10
discourage this disposition to thrive
but strong chicks should not thrivs

as there IL q perceptible difference
in the size OF the chicks. either grade
the chicks according to size, or d.
