PROPER CARE OF cocEERELs
Young Fowls WIN Need Plenty 81
Hight Kind Of Food and sheIter
for Best Development.

Those who have good cockerels
needed for breeding birds In their own
flocks will see to It that they are
properly cared for. The young cock.
erels will need plenty of the right
kind Of feed and the proper shelter
and protection so they may develop
into good birds.
The mistake is sometimes made Of
not keeping enough cockerels for the
number Of hens needed on the farm,
AS a result of this, farm tlocks some,
times produce too small a per cent
of fertile eggs. This means consider
able loss for the infertile egg unused
in incubation is almost If not a com.
plete loss.
1t Is not easy to tell the kind Of
birds young cockerels will make, at
least while they are quite young. It
is necessary generally to keep the
birds till their type, plumage and
general individuality can be ascer.
tanned. The best is none too good and
no one should afford to keep poor cock.
erels. Should none Of your flock be
suitable, then dispose of all and get
good cockerels to breed up your flock.
This will be economical in the end.

PREVENT DISEASE IN FLOCK
Better q Remove Cause 81 Many Al.
nents Than . my for Cure
seareaate AIlInn Birds.

II Is better to remove the cause Of
the various ailments that afiict poul
try than to try to bring about cure
and IL we go about 1t intelllgently We
shall not have to search far to find
what is causing the losses among our
birds.
In the frst place, there are the germ
diseases, of which roup and Its kindred
troubles, such as canker, catarrh and
chicken pox are the most common
These are communicated by the
agency Of a germ, or they may de
yelop from latent germs retained in
the system from previous attack. AT
any rate, a bird that is subject tc
these diseases should never be used as
a breeder. She may communicate the
weakness to her offspring.
When a member Of the flock shows
signs Of any Of these germ diseases
she should be removed to another pen
and the place ventilated and fumigat.
ed. Also all drinking fountains and
feeders which she may have used
should be scalded and disinfected. It
is well also to clean the pen. Filth
and large accumulations Of dropplngs
beneath the roosts have tendency to
multiply the roup germs. Fresh air,
sunlight and cleanliness destroy them.

GREEN BONE BEST FOR BIRDS
Cutting Machine Is Valuable During
Season Of Hlgh-Priced Eggs
Use It Every Day.

No place with large number Of
hens on It Is complete in Its equipment
without hone mill, and the owner
of a bone-cutter that does not make
use of it daily during the season for
hlgh-prlced eggs is making a mistake.
Yet one finds many Of these machines
standing idle.
Green cut bone, with a reasonable
amount of fresh, lean meat on it, is
undoubtedly the very best kind of AMI.
NAL food that can be had for the win
ter layers. 1t is q live animal food
and the nearest of any of the meat
foods to the natural, wild products
that the hen picks up in the shape Of
bugs and worms while wandering
about the field in summertime.
A hen has to find the material to
form an egg from the food she gets,
and a chemical analysis of green bone
shows that 1t contains every element
contained in the white, the yolk and
the shell Of the egg. This accounts
for the avldity with which green bone
is devoured by the hen. Instinct in
all animals, taste and a desire for
foods that are suitable for them,
causes the hen to leave any other food
at any time for a mess Of green bone.

BEST PAYING RATIONS
Interesting Experiment Conduct"
ed by Ohio Station.
PuIIets Producing Largest Number Of
Eggs Were Furnished Most Expen'
slve Feed-carefuI Accounts
Are Important.

The number Of eggs laid during the
feeding of a ration 1t not always an
index to the value of the ration. The
best.paying ration should be sought
That is a ration which will give the
most profit on the number Of egg'
laid. An experiment conducted by the
Ohio station illustrates this point:
In the experiment, three lots Of %
pullets each, of Single Comb White
Leghorns, were used. These pullets
were housed in half Of colony house
10 by - feet in size, this space being
allotted to each group. The hens werG
also confined to the houses from April
/ to June z, in order to permit the
grass in the lots to get some growth
When the snow was on the ground, the
hens were confined to the houses. AZ
other times, each lot had access to a
yard.
Lot / received a ration Of shelled
corn, ground corn, eight parts, and
meat scraps, FIVE parts. Lot 2 received
a ration of shelled corn, ground corn,
seven parts; bran, three parts, and
meat scraps, five parts. Lot 8 had
shelled corn, one part, and wheat, four
parts, with one part Of oats, and q
mash composed of ground corn, three
parts; bran, four parts middlings, four
parts, oil meal, one part and meat
scraps, two parts. Each lot had access
to grit, oyster shell and charcoal. Lot
1 produced 1859 eggs, Lot 2, 1898. and
Lot 8, 201.e eggs per hen, at cost
Of 1913, 1854 and 1895 cents per Dozen
respectively. The profit from Lot i was
500; from Lot 2, $2.15, and from Lot
8, $1.9S for each hen In the respective
groups. The ration for Lot 8 not only
cost more but was more trouble to pre-
pare. II we looked at the number Of
eggs only, 1t might seem that 201.e
eggs were far better than 1859 or
1898. but the profit IL what we are
after-the most money with the least
trouble. The farmer needs especially
to look TO his profits this year Of high'
priced grain, Careful accounts are the
only means Of determining the cost Of
eggs per dozen, and the best-paying

The use of sugar in the diet is to

RIGID GQLLING OF CHICKENS
Exceptionally High Prices Of Poultry
Products Warrants Procedure,

poultry department of the college Of
agriculture, at Lincoln, Neb. The
sooner this is done, the better.
Males of large, vigorous type, show.

spRoUTED OATS FOR LAYERS
Should Be Fed When Shoots Are Not
Over one.HaIf Inch In Length
Other Good Feeds.

sprouted oats are good for laying
hens and should be fed when the
shoots are not over one-half inch in
length.
Tender, juicy green stuff should be
fed, such as beets, cabbage, green clo-
yer or other succuIent food, but 1t is
unwise to feed green food in frozen
condition to laying hens; skim milk,
buttermilk, dried milk and dry ground
bone are also good for the protein in
them, although they do not have much
fat.
Feather eating is caused by short
age Of animal food such as meat, bugs
and insects.

OBTAINING EGGS IN WINTER
aralns Should Be Scattered Among
Straw or chaff to Induce Exercise
-oIve Fresh Water.
9y MRS. G. F1sH.)

Provide warm, dry houses for the
edwIs to roost in. Corn should only
be given for the evening meal during
cold weather to impart warmth to the
body. All grains should be scattered
among straw or chaff to induce exer-
use. Green food and fresh water
Ehould be given daily.
Clover, IL cut very fine, scalded, and
lied with a sprinkling Of ground grain
u the morning, allowing the hens to
Ut as much as they will, will keep the
hens IA health and will not cost as
ltHch as grain.
Also, give meat and ground bones to
ne fowls every day. This way Of
oedlng is sure to give you eggs in
winter.

.FIRsT-CLAss STOCK FAVORED
Advantageous to Visit Breeder and
Make Selection Rather Than Or
der Fowls by Mall.

When buying purebred fowls do not
seek culls, but endeayor to secure
those that are good. A Gull may have
some fault-may be lacking in hardl-
ness or may have been tried with un-
satisfactory results.
1t will always be an advantage to
visit the breeder and make a selection
rather than order by mail, unless the
breeder is known as one. who is reli-
able and whose stock isN frst-class.
