Many factor influence desirable
quality in the flesh of poultry intend
ed for table use. Flavor, texture,
amount of flesh in proportion to total
weight of the bird, and the amount
and distribution of fat over the car
cass are some Of the most important.
Besides the general differences be-
tween various kinds and breeds of
birds, theye are differences between
birds of the same stock, due to sex,
age, exercise, feeding and methods of
handling and marketing. The effect
OF sex and age are often offset by spe-
cial care and feeding.
The flesh of females is, as rule,
milder in favor and more tender than
that of males. Caponizing makes the
favor of cocks more delicate and ten
der and increases the amount Of flesh,
especially on the breast.
Age increases the favor at first ad-
vantageously, but later disadvanta-
gcously. Many persons consider the
flesh OF young birds, such as broilers,
too mild and that the added richness
of flavor of the bird year or two old
compensates for lack of tenderness,
The masses of flesh in proportion to
bone increase as the bird grows older.

Kansas nocks that had male birds

The conditions in this case were ex-
actly the same as in the first except
that there were no male birds pres

In money this means that, even If
you are not taking particular pains

Infertile Eggs Keep Longer.

Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the production OF infertile
eggs for market. The keeping quality
Of infertile eggs is so much greater
than that of fertile eggs as to make
their production highly profitable to
the poultryman.
Keep the male birds from the flock
except during the breeding season.
Among extensive tests that have
been carried on to show the better
keeping quality Of infertile eggs, one
reported from Kansas is typical. Dur
ing June, July and August experts
from the United States Department
OF Agriculture candled 2,205 eggs
from Kansas focks that had no male
birds present, and found l,427, or 63.S

Selecting Your Breed.

"What is the best breed" is ques-
ton often asked by those who con.
template raising chickens. The best
breed for any poultryman depends
upon the particular product in which
he is interested.
Those who wish to keep poultry for
home supply Of meat and eggs will do
we'll TO select the Plymouth Rock
Rhode Island Red, Wyandotte or Or
pington. These breeds lay medium
number of brown-shelled eggs and
have carcasses heavy enough to meet
most family requirements. These
breeds are good .sitters and good
mothers.
If egg production IS the primary
purpose OF keeping chickens, those
who expect large income should Sc
lect such a breed as the Leghorn
Minorca or Ancona. These fowls lay
larger number of eggs, have smaller
carcasses, and require less feed than
the first named breeds. They are bet
ter rustlers than the heavier breeds,
but are non-sitters, and are affected
more by sudden change in tempera-
ture.
The heaviest breeds, such as the
Cochin, Brahma and Langshan, are
good as meat producers and are liked
by some breeders for their ornamental
appearance.
When ornament is the chief OBJ
ject, the Polish and such breeds of
bantams as the Japanese are often Sc
lected for their odd and beautiful
plumage.
The selection of breed within any
of these groups is not so important
as the selection of a good strain or
family in the breed chosen. When
buying, it is well to find out what the
breeder has been working toward in
the Improvement of his flock. OF
two breeders of the same Kind of
chickens, one may be selecting for
high egg production, while the other
is selecting for shape and color dis
tinction. One cannot look too care
fully into those details if the best re-
suits are hoped for. A growing num-
Der of breeders are developing strains
which combine all the desirable quail
tiles In their particular breeds.

Why Anconas?

Every day | am asked, "Why dc
you prefer Anconas to other breeds"
| started out with ten different breeds
OF birds, Anconas among them, but
my favorites were bluffs Of heavier
breed. My second year l exhibited
all ten varieties and my pride were
the bluffs, but after another year | dis
carded all except my imported White
Leghorns and the Anconas. Why!
Because the Anconas have every.
thing utility fowl should have; they
are non-setters, which is one thing
worth a great deal to a breeder.
They are heavy layers of white
eggs and they lay most of their eggs
in December, January, February and
March, when eggs are high, They
lay more pounds of eggs to the least
pounds Of feed. '
They are beautiful fowl-kind
gentle to handle and as show bird
are hard to beat.
They are bright, quick and active
will on range shift for themselves
and are the happiest, busiest little
bunch, always singing and always
laying. The greatest laying hen in
the world today is an Ancona, Queen
Bess, record 33l eggs in 365 days
The next best record is Lady Eglan-
tine, white Leghorn hen, record 3l4
eggs in 3o5 days. Government and
state experiment farm statistics show
that it cost about $l.50 to feed a hen
year, so why meat breeds' A
seven-pound hen won't pay for her
feed. 1t is the eggs we want, it is
the eggs that fill the purse, so why
not Anconass .g
Anconas for the table have deli
cious favored meat and far superior
to many of the so-called meat breeds;
but if they only had the two qualities,
shelling out eggs and being non-set-
tiers, this alone would make them the
best fowl on earth.
Did you ever have an old hen go to
setting just when you needed the
eggs, and how many times you have
ducked her under water, kept Nher
cooped up for week or ten days and
then have her go right back to set
ting? If you have ever raised these
settlers, you sure will appreciate
That Grand and Glorious Feeling"
of raising Anconas.

Methods for Destroying Lice and
Mites.

Methods tor destroying Lice ana
Mites.
Lice-The louise spends all its life
on the body of the fowl. For that
reason each fowl must be treated in
d;viduallyI One method of treatment
is to dust with a good louise powder.
A more satisfactory method is to use
blue ointment. This is very poison
GUS and should be used with care.
Formula for Louise Powder. y
Three parts gasoline, one part Gre
sol or IS per cent crude carbolic acid.
Mix together and add as much
building cement as these liquids will
moisten. Allow to dry and apply
thoroughly. Repeat in week 10 ten
days. This powder is too severe for
little chicks.
Formula for Louise Ointment.
One part blue ointment, one part
vaseline.
Rub a piece about the size of pea
on skin close to vent. Repeat in a
week to ten days. This is not salts
factory for little chicks.
For little chicks probably small
amount of sweet oil or lard is most
satisfactory. This is applied on top
- head and under wings.
Mites-The mite spends the day
under the perches,s in nests, in cracks
and in crevices and in the droppings.
It goes to the fowl at night and sucks
blood.
First, the house must be kept clean.
Then it should be sprayed with )
per cent solution Of a good stock
dip, with kerosene or with white
wash.

Housing.
Right housing for poultry is a sub
ject that could occupy many pages
with resultant benefit to those inter-
ested. Conditions of housing COM
mence Immediately the chicks are
placed in the brooder and many trou-
bles may be traced to bad conditions
in this part of the management. A
flock of chicks Of a month or less are
extremely susceptible TO defects in
housing, for their power of resistance
to disease is much lower than in more
mature stock. If any are taken sick
the danger of contagion is greater be-
cause of closer proximity in smaller
space, and weaker stamina, so many
of the young birds may succumb to
trouble from which older birds
would easily recover.
The worst defect with management
in brooding young chicks is over
crowding, as some. breeders forget
the fact that chicks OF three weeks
require practically double the space
they occupied at week old. If a
brooder is used, that is built to hold
100 chicks they should be divided at
two weeks to allow room for their
quick growth.
One of the first signs OF coming
trouble caused by overcoming is
"sweaty," condition and that is a sure
harbinger to serious colds and other
troubles. The chicks are at once set
back in growth, many may die and
what do recover will not amount TO
much unless the greatest care and
best medication is observed.
By overcoming the accumulation
of excretions become greater men
ace if such are allowed to accumu-
late and mites soon begin to get in
foothold. Between the foul odor they
have to inhale and the deadly at
tacks on their blood by mites, the
chicks quickly get in bad shape. The
filthy conditions conducc to quicker
growth of the mites and the mites
contribute to the spread of any colds
or similar disease that may COM
as they 60 from one bird to
another. to get the sccretions from
the nostrils for moisture or drink,
thus disseminating germs.
Another trouble with some brood
ers is lack of ventilation, the air IN
side gets close, no opportunity for
the Civilizations from the birds to
escape, and If it is heated brooder
the warmth may accumulate too much
during the night, so the chicks get
trouble in another form. The gradual
increase of bodily heat combined with
the heat from the lamp increases the
much above what it
should be for health and growth. The
result of too much heat may be
form of white diarrhoea.
The ideal methods of brooding are
the large open room heated by steani
and the large circular metal hoyers
heated by either coal OF oil. In such
places there is no chance for foul
air to accumulate, because the VENT.
lation is good. For older stock, es-
pecially laying hens, houses should
be built to allow for excellent venti-
lation. The general method is to
have ventilator screen wire at the
rear of the house opening underneath
the dropping boards, with ventilator
windows or slides near the roof on
the opposite side, For smaller houses
