MAKING POULTRY PAY.
Importance Of Feeding and Proper
culline Of the Flock.

lmpOrtanes Of Feeding and Proper
cullins Of the Flock.
An important matter in line OF max.
ing the poultry pay a profit today is to
be rid Of the lOafers in the flock. The
first step in this regard is to rid the
laying flock of all the hens two years
old or over, for they are rarely worth
keeping even in normal times. Year
ling hens. those that have Just complet-
ed their first year Of laying. are. how
ever, decidedly worth keeping If the
poultryman will weed out the drones.
The selection Of the pullets for winter
egg production is the next step and one
that can make or break the poultry
man. If the pullets are to prove worth
while as winter layers they must be
from such matches and have such care
as will bring them TO the age of laying
by October. Pullets that weigh around
two pounds by October should be dis
posed Of as broilers. for the poultry
man can be sure that such small stock
will not lay until spring.
The next thing in line Of real econ
Omy is the feeding Of the flock. Here is
where the owner Of the farm flock has
a great advantage over the big com
mercial poultry farm.
In growing poultry products for mar
ket the owner of the farm flock really
has the greatest chance Of making n
profit. During the summer months the
farm flock If allowed free range can
pick up at least 80 per cent Of their
own living from off the farm. and when
it comes to winter feeding the farmer
again has the advantage because he has
grown the feed he will use.
On most farms there are always prod
ucts such as wheat screenings. small
and defective ears of corn and grain
damaged by storm or storage that
would bring very little on the market.
but for the purpose Of feeding poultry
they can be used to good purpose.
This brings forth another point OF
Importance in the economical feeding
of the flock, the use Of grains unfit for
human food. Mow-burnt grains, wea-
veleaten grain, screenings and corn nub
bins can all be used for poultry feeding
with every bit as good results as when
the best grains are fed and at a much
reduced cost. In truth, the difference
between a profit and a loss On the
poultry flock is today more than ever
a matter of foresight and good manage
ment.

SPECIAL CARE OF gifts.

When prices for pork rose about q
year ago many farmers took advan-
tage Of the condition and sold a good
portion Of their stock. including brood
sows. II is not likely that any such
wholesale slaughter will occur this
year, because much interest has been
focused on the hog as an economical
means Of utilizing wastes. There Is
4 sharp demand for weaned pigs by
small farmers, people OF rural COM
munities and suburbanites. To en-
courage pork production many boards
Of health have allowed the backyard
pig pen to return for the duration Of
the war. not, however, without some
restrictions.
1t is time now to separate the sows
intended to hold over for breeding
from the rest Of the herd. Young
gifts intended for breeding stock will
make practically the same growth and
frame development from now on II
fed on a limited grain ration. They
will not be in that fine condition de-
sired for market, yet they will be In
better condition for farrowinE and
the cost OF feeding will be reduced.
y 1t would be well to separate more
than is desired to winter, not only to
allow further selection. but because
the growing demand for weaned pigs
and pork products will warrant breed
ing in a greater number.

skimmilk For laying Hens.

We have frequently advised the use
Of skimmilk for laying hens, knowing
IL was good for them. But how good is
hard TO tell without regular test, says
the Kansas Farmer A pOultryman has
inst tested the matter to his entire sat
isfaction. He put sixty pullets in two
pens. equally divided, Of the same va
riety and all as near Of an age as pos
sible. He fed exactly alike, but gave
different drinks. One pen had sweet
skimmilk. and the other had plenty Of
fresh water. The test was begun on
Nov. l and accounts were balanced
with both pens May following. Those
which drank the water had but little
over half as much credit for eggs laid,
while their feed had cost more than the
Den which had the milk. Some days In
the very coolest weather the milk pen
Of thirty pullets laid twenty-eight eggs,
and their average for January was
twenty-four eggs daily. We never feed
milk TO the exclusion Of water, but give
our chickens water in addition to the
milk. but II seems this pOultryman had
extra good success by making the pull
