HOW TO BREAK BROODY FOWL
Confine Hen In Small Coop With Stat
Bottom and Give Her Plenty of
Water to Drink.

When hens become broody and 1t Is
not desired to allow them to hatch
chickens, they should be "broken up"
as quickly as possible. The sooner this
is done the sooner they will resume
laying. To break hen of broodiness
she should be confined to small coop,
preferably with a slat bottom. Give
her plenty of water to drink; she may
be fed or not, as desired. Not much
difference will be found In the time
required to break her Of broodiness
whether she is fed or made to fast.
Usually three to six days Of confine-
ment will do the work, but some hens
require ten to twelve days. The broody
hen will be recognized by her inclina-
tlon to stay on the nest at night, the
ruffllng Of her feathers and her de-
sire to pick anyone who approaches
her, and by the clucking noise she
makes.

DUTIES OF DAIRYMEN GIVEN
Use Best Methods of Breeding and
Management and Utilize All Prod
ucts to Advantage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The duties and responsibilities OF
dairymen are especially important In
the maintenance of the dairy industry
for the good of the nation. An op.
portunity is presented to dairymen to
serve humanity by the conservation of
dairying. Their part Is to use the
best methods Of breeding and manage
ment, feed wisely and economically,
and utilize all products to the best
advantage. The fuller utilization Of
by-products for human food brings an
added financial return that will dc
much to help maintain the industry.
We are depending upon the ingenuity
and efficiency of the American people
to play large part In the winning Of
the war. This same ingenuity and eff.
ficiency must be used in the productive
Industries as well as in destructive
ones. If, after putting into effect the
best methods and practices for econ.
omy and efficiency, It still Is necessary
to dispose Of dairy cows, the dairymen
should endeavor to sell them to other
dairymen, better situated, In order that
the supply Of milk may not be reduced.
On the small farm, and 1t is from
such farms that the bulk Of our dairy
products come, most of the work Is
done by the farmer and his family.
Would it not be possible on many Of
these farms to keep one or two or
three more cows without great incon.
venience? This and increased eff.
cheney will meet the situation. We
shall have milk for our babies; we
shall maintain our industry; we shall
have dairy products for our armies,
and, in addition, shall be able to share
literally with our friends across the
! sea.

COMFORTABLE COOP FOR HEN
Need Not Be Expensive, but Should

Is Essential.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In order to be more successful in
raising chickens the poultrymen should
provide a house which meets certain
requirements. 1t need not be an ex-
pensive structure but it Is essential
that the hens have comfortable
house which is dry, roomy, and
abundantly supplied with fresh air
and sunlight. 1t never pays to over
crowd the fowls.
No particular style of house Is pc
culiarly adapted to any section Of this
country. A house which gives satis-

results in Texas or California, but it

House.
is preferable to build more open, and
consequently less expensive, houses in
the South than in the North. The best
site for the poultry house depends prin-
cipally on the local conditions. The
location should have good water and
air drainage, so that the floor and
yards will be dry, while the house
should not occupy low pocket or hol-
2ow In which cold air settles, and 1t
should be situated for convenience in
management and adapted to the avail
able land. Wherever possible south
ern or southeastern exposure should
be selected, although this is not essen
tial If there is any good reason for fac
ing the house in different direction.
Poultry can be raised successfully on
any well-drained soil. A light loan
which will grow good grass is well
adapted for this purpose, while very
light sandy soil through which the wa
ter teaches freely will stand more In
tensive poultry conditions, but most Of
the green feed for the fowls kept on
such soil will have to be purchased.
A heavy clay or adobe soil is not as
we'll adapted to poultry raising, as
such land does not drain readily, and
1t is much more difficult to keep the
stock healthy. Long stationary houses,
or the intensive system, saves steps,
but 1t is easier to keep the birds healthy
and to reproduce the stock under the
colony system, where the birds are al
lowed free range. Breeding stock, and
especially growing chickens, should
have an abundance Of range, while
hens used solely for the production Of
market eggs may be kept on a very
small area with good results. The col
ony house system necessitates placing
the houses, holding about 100 hens,
from 200 to $50 feet apart, so that the
stock will not kill the grass. The col
ony system may be adapted to severe
winter conditions by drawing the col
ony houses together In a convenient
place at the beginning Of winter, thus
reducing the labor during these months.

income. Such a system requires long
credits in the community.
2. The market for dairy products
fuctuates very little year by year as
compared with other farm products.
3. Through the return of manure to
the land the fertility and physical con-
dition Of the soil may be maintained
at high level and crops increased.
Even after many years a properly
maintained dairy farm has constantly
increasing crop yields instead of de-
creasing ones.
A. In dairying, labor may be utilized
at more uniform rate throughout the
year, for example, may have to employ
much additional labor at harvest time,
but so far as the dairy Is concerned the
dairyman has about the same duties
to perform every month of the year.
Thus less help is required seasonally
and permanent employees may be
Kept.
5. Through the dairy COW many un.
salable roughages may be transformed
into products from which cash may be
realized. Grass, hay, corn-fodder and
other roughage which may not have a
ready sale are economically utilized by
the dairy COW. Land which is not
suitable for cultivation can be utilized
for pasturage for dairy cows.
