POULTRY HOUSE FINDS FAVOR IN KANSAS.

There are as many types of chicken
houses as there are of poultry raisers,
and but few of these houses approach
the ideal, asserts N. L. Harris, super
ntendent of the poultry plant, Kansas
Agricultural college.
'"The ideal chicken house should be
at least 20 feet long and 10 feet wide,"
says Mr.. Harris. 1.-THE height should
be such as will be convenient to the op-
erator-about nine feet in front and
not less than four feet at the back.
with a house Of these dimensions,
there will be no frozen combs, even in
severe winter weather. Frozen combs
usually result from keeping poultry in
small houses where good ventilation
is a difficult matter.
There is no question that cement
is the best floor for poultry houses,

PROPER CARE OF COCKERELS
Young Fowls Will Need Plenty of
Right Kind of Food and Shelter
for Best Development.

Those who have good cockerels
needed for breeding birds in their own
hocks 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 result of this, farm flocks 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. 1t
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.
Ihis will be economical in the end.

KNEW WHAT PUBLIC WANTED,
Little Incident That Makes Clear the
journalistic Genius of the Late
Joseph Pulitzer.

There are many stories of the t9ur-
naltistic genius of the blind JoseSfh
Pulitzer. One cropped out the other
day.
There was big championship golf
tournament to be played" a golfer
said. 'This was years ago, before Mr..
Pulitzer went blind. Golf at that time
was in its infancy in this country.
"Well, Mr.. Pulitzer sent for his
dozen best reporters and special writ
ers and, lining them up before him.,
said:
Those who understand golf stand
on the left; those who are ignorant Of
1t, on the right
"The stars separated themselves ac-
cordingly. All understood golf but
three-three very excellent writer's.
So You three chaps will cover the
tournament said Mr.. Pulitzer, with
his nervous smile. I want all our

DEVELOP OOCYTES FOR EGGS
No Hen Lives Long Enough to Produce
More Than Small Pecentage of
Undeveoped Eggs.

Automatically every normal hen
would appear to be fitted to become
a good layer. Certain it is that no
hen lives long enough, or remains
in condition long enough, to develop
ALL or more than a small percent
age of the undeveloped eggs on her
ovary. In counts made at Maine
experiment station from 914 to 1905
oocytes (undeveloped eggs) were
found in the ovaries of some Is hens
examined, and only those visible to
the unaided eye were counted. Three
hens showed better than 1000 oocytes
each five showed better than 1900
undeveloped eggs each; five better
than 1000 each; and one yielded a
count of 1905 undeveloped eggs.
In the investigations it was shown
that the number of oocytes visible
on the ovary bore no definite or
constant relation to the actually re-
allied egg production of the speci-
men.
Apparently actual egg production
depends upon many things besides he
reditary characteristics and anatomical
differences. 1t is easy to understand
that influences which affect the indi-
vidual specimen may play very large
part in producing conditions favorable
to maturing the undeveloped eggs
of the ovary and the actual laying of
same. Potentially, from an anatom-
ical standpoint, almost every hen is
a thousand-egger or better.
1t remains for US to develop and OBJ
tain the eggs. Of course, many oocytes
never develop and mature. Hens
which have made record of 1000
eggs in their lifetime are still rare
birds.

BEST PAYING RATIONS
Interesting Experiment Conduct
ed by Ohio Station.
Puiiets Producing Largest Number Of
Eggs Were Furnished Most Expen-
sive Feed-Careful Accounts
Are Important.

The number of eggs laid during the
feeding of ration it not always an
index to the value of the ration. The
best-paying ration should be sought.
That is ration which will give the
most profit on the number of eggs
laid. An experiment conducted by the
Ohio station illustrates this point:
In the experiment, three lots of 25
pullets each, of Single Comb White
Leghorns, were used. These pullets
were housed in half of a colony house
10 by II feet in size, this space being
allotted to each group. The hens were
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. At

since such a floor is sanitary, vermin
proof, and easily cleaned"
The manner of lighting and venti-
lating poultry house is always i'm
portant, in the opinion of Mr.. Harris.
Too much glass in poultry house
raises the temperature in the day and
permits rapid radiation at night. The
resulting wide variation of day and
night temperatures is always injurious
to the health of the fowls.
Probably the best means Of providing
adequate light and ventilation is to
have two windows in the south side of
the building with a cloth curtain be-
tween. During stormy days, while the
curtain is closed, the windows will pro-
vide sufficient light and the curtains
will allow sufficient ventilation without
permitting drafts.

Lot 1 received a ration of shelled
corn, ground corn, eight parts, and
meat scraps, five parts. Lot received

meat scraps, five parts. Lot had
shelled corn, one part, and wheat, four

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

l produced 1859 eggs, Lot 2, 1898, and
Lot 3, 201.6 eggs per hen, at a cost
of 8.73, 8.54 and 1896 cents per dozen,
respectively. The profit from Lot 1 was
$500; from Lot 2, $2.15, and from Lot
3, $1.98 for each hen in the respective
groups. The ration for Lot 8 not only
cost more but was more trouble to pre-
pare. If we looked at the number of
eggs only, it might seem that POI. 6
eggs were far better than 1859 or
1898, but the profit is what we are

Necessity of Protein.

The use of milk in feeding chickens
will greatly increase egg production.
The hen never lays an egg until
all the ingredients necessary for the
complete development of a chick are
present.
Since the egg contains protein as

carbohydrates fed in the form Of grain
Will not offset the necessity of protein.
Milk given to the birds, either as a
drink or in the form of wet mash, will
greatly increase egg production.
