Early Hatch, Early LAYERS.

February, March and April are the
best months in which to hatch chick
ems, but the sooner it can be done
the better. Hatching should be COM
pleted if possible by the first of May.
Chickens Matched before this time will
have good chance to mature and be
ia laying condition as pullets before
the cold weather of fall sets in, and
should, in consequence, be producers
during the entire fall and winter. This
is one of the chief reasons poultry spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture are urging the
Importance this year of the early
hatch. Early Matched chickens are
also easier to raise, as they live and
thrive better than those which are
still small when the hot weather be-
gins.

SEED DEALERS TO FURNISH
INFORMATION WITH PRODUCT

According to plan agreed upon by
representatives of the seed trade and
representatives of the United States
Department of Agriculture in confer
ences last year, seed dealers will pro-
vide the following information with
all lots of ten pounds or over of field
crop seeds which they SELL
1. Name of scotsman.
2. Kind of seed.
3. Proportion of pure live seed pres
ent, with month and year of germina-
ton test.
4. Country or locality of origin in
the case of the following imported
seeds: Beans, soy beans, Turkestan
alfalfa and red cloves from Southern
Europe and Chile.
Since the seed trade conferences,
practically all the larger seedsmen
have individually agreed to conduct
their business in accordance with these
suggestions.

City Chickens Need Room,

Whether the backyard poultry
keeper should try to renew his flock
either by Matching and rearing chicks
or by purchasing and rearing day-old
chicks, is an open question. Raising
chicks should not be attempted un-
less a plot can be provided separate
from that to which the hens have
access and upon which there is grass
or where a supply of green feed car
be furnished. Hatching under these
conditions can best be done with hens

Make the SOws Exercise.

One of the biggest hindrances to the
farrowing of good, strong, vigorous
litters is lack of exercise for the sows.
During cold and snowy weather hogs
like to lie around the sleeping quar-
ters and be comfortable. That, how
ever, is not what they should do all
of the time. The proper exercise for
a brood sow is that which she will
take voluntarily and not through force.
She should get her corn ration by
hustling for it in the stalk fields and
not by getting it around the sleeping
squarters on feeding floors or in
troughs. Protein feeds in the form
Of shorts, tankage, oil meal or alfalfa

Instead of Beef Scrap.

If it is desired to substitute cotton
seed meal for beef scraps in the dry
mash for hens the feeder should be
careful not to replace more than half
the beef scrap with this substitute
as the result in agg production and
in the quality of the eggs will be un-
satisfactory. Chopped green bone,
available at the butcher shop, is an
excellent substitute for beef scrap
when fed fresh to the hens. Buy it
in small quantities as it does not keep
fresh very long, and when spoiled it
is likely to be harmful.
