POULTRY
.FAGI1O
BREEDING POULTRY IN YARDS
More Difficult Than Keeping Small
Flock of Hens for Eggs for
Family Table.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
The average city family will, per-
haps, do best by keeping hens for eggs
alone, but a considerable degree of
success can be attained in breeding
poultry in back yards and in many
instances it may be desirable.
By breeding poultry is meant mat
ing male and one or more females to
reproduce the parent type; Matching
the young, and so rearing them that
they will attain the full development
of good typical specimens Of their
race. In small way this can be done
in quite limited space. 1t is more
difficult than keeping a small flock of
hens for eggs for the table, or growing
a few chickens for the table in the
same space, but with regular attention
and good care very satisfactory re-
suits are obtained. Good work under
adverse conditions often gives better
results than poor work under good
conditions.
The smallest breeding pen for work
on this scale and with only one mat
ing should have a male and two fe-
males. With two hens, the pen will
provide eggs for Matching at the rate
of a sitting every week or ten days,
thus making it possible to set all eggs
while the germs are strong. If small
flock is kept also for eggs for the
table, hens from that flock may be
used to hatch and brood the chickens.
If the laying hens lay eggs Of diff
ferent color from those laid by the
breeding hens, all may be kept togeth-
er. The layers may not produce as
many eggs while fed as breeders
should be, but there is saving in
space and work, and the net result
may be as good as if more eggs were
secured.
Rations for breeding stock differ
from laying rations in that much
smaller proportions of commercial AMI
NAL foods are used, and special atten-

RENHOUSE PESTS
IN HOT WEATHER
Plan Outlined for Poultry Keepers
to Eradicate Lice and Mites
in Summer.
MANY KINDS OF PARASITES
Advisable for Novices to Make Sure
That Flock Is Free From Insects
by Giving Each Fowl lndivid-
ual Treatment.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Fowls are infested by two kinds Of
body parasites-lice and mites. Lice
live continuously upon the birds. The
common mite feeds upon them on the
roosts at night, and after feeding Sc
cretes itself in the cracks and crevices
about the roosts.
There are many different kinds. Of
poultry lice. Those most common on
fowls are-the body louise, yellowish in
color and about ,one-tenth of an inch
In length, which remains on the skin
of the fowl; the shaft louise, somewhat
smaller and very pale in color, which
is usually seen on the shafts of the
gray species which is most frequently
observed on the heads of young chick
ems.
Lice Multiply Rapidly.
Lice are not usually very abundant
on healthy fowls which are kept under
sanitary conditions and provided with
dust baths. They multiply rapidly up
on birds of low vitality and sluggish
temperament, and are quickly distrib-
uted through flocks upon premises
where attention to cleanliness is indif-
ferent.
For novices in poultry keeping, and
with small flocks generally, it is adj
visable to make sure that the flock is
free from lice by giving the birds in
div;dual treatment which will secure
that result. The most universally pro-
durable article for this purpose is pow
dered sulphur. The method of apply
ing this is to hold the bird by the feet,
head down, and dust the sulphur free
ly into the feathers, using either
small insect-powder gun or can with
a perforated cover. Pyrethrum may
be used in the same way. Neither of

fed, but the cake-fed steers sold for
enough more at the end of the season
to make the feeding of cake extremely
profitable.
Cold-pressed cake did not give as
satisfactory results as the common cot
tonseed cake, when cold-pressed cake
cost So and cottonseed cake $26 per
ton.
Cottonseed at $14 ton proved some-
what more valuable than cottonseed
cake at 500 ton for feeding to steers
on pasture.
Steers which were fed heavy ra-
ton of cottonseed cake on pasture and
finished early in July proved far more
profitable than steers which did not
receive as much CAKE daily, but were
fed for longer time and sold late in
the summer.
The feeding Of cattle on pasture in
creased the size of the gains, caused
the animals to fatten much faster and
smoother, increased their value per
hundredweight, and produced better
carcasses and a higher percentage Of
marketable meat than the grazing Of
steers on pasture alone.

these remedies will thoroughly and
permanently rid poultry of lice. When
they are used treatment must be re-
peated at more or less frequent inter-
walls, as may appear necessary.
Sodium FIuorid Favored.
By using commercial sodium fiuorid
in the form of powder, or as dip, all
species of poultry lice may be de-
strOyed at one application. AS the high
efficiency of sodium ffuorid in Destroy
ing lice on poultry is of recent discOv-
cry the material is not ordinarily
found in all drug stores. With a de-
mand for it, however, local druggists
will secure supplies. Poultry keepers
who desire to thoroughly eradicate
lice from their flocks should write the

ture, Washington, for Farmers Bull

Of the use of sodium fluorid, complete
information on the control Of mites
and lice.
The common chicken mite Is very
small gray insect which, when it has
filed itself with blood, becomes bright
red, hence the name fred mite" by
which it is often called. 1t may be dis

supports, and in the wall crevices
near them. Where the mites are very
abundant they may be found in large
masses in such places. They also fire.
quent the nests of sitting hens. With
reasonable attention to the cleanliness
of poultry houses, mites are not like
ly to be troublesome except in warm
weather.
Treatment for mites consists in ap-
plications Of liquid insecticides or dis
infectants to them and to the places
where they harbor, repeating the ap-
plications at intervals of about week
until all are destroyed. Any of the
petroleum products commonly used
for disinfectant purposes will be found
effective for the destruction of mites.

ton is given to supplying green feed
regularly and abundantly. Heavy egg
production is not desired. The object
is to have the birds in perfect physi-
cal condition and at the height Of vi
tally, that they may more surely
transmit these qualities to their off
spring.
The greatest difficulty in backyard
breeding is rearing the young birds to
secure their best development. AS
growing birds are more susceptible to
adverse conditions than mature birds,
and birds in close confinement are less
rugged than those at liberty. the back
yard breeder must give the most scru-
pulous attention to every detail Of the
care of his young chickens. Short
comings which might have no bad con-
sequences with the adult birds, or
with young chickens under more favor
able conditions, may have very serious
Ill effects upon his young stock. How
ever, by looking properly after all
their wants and taking care not to
overcrowd them in any way, fine speci-
mems may be grown in yards where
the space allowance is not more than
20 to 30 square feet per bird.
