PROCEED WISELY
WITH CHICKENS
Suggestions Of Specialists of De-
partment of Agriculture.
MAKE START WITH PUREBRED
Househoiders Usually Desire Not Only
Eggs for Table, But Also an Occa-
sionaI Chicken to Eat-LiQht
Breeds for Eggs.

You want to start a backyard hen
merry or improve the one you have
you have gone that far in your deter
mination to help the meat and egg
supply-how shall you begin? What
kind of fowls shall YOU keep. how
many and how shall you procure
them? These are your next considera-
lions. Here are the suggestions Of
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture on these
points. They will help the beginner
especially. but should also help the
town householder to make his flock
more serviceable. First, the kind OF
breed.
This will depend somewhat on
whether you desire eggs, meat or both
eggs and meat. Householders usually
desire not only eggs for the table ana
for cooking, but also an occasional
chicken to eat. If this Is your desire
one of the general-purpose breeds,
such as Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte.
Rhode Island Red or Orpington. Is
preferable to the smaller egg breeds,
such as the Leghorns. Not only do the
mature fowls of these breeds, because
of their larger size, make better table
fowls than the Leghorns, but the
young chickens for the same reason
make better friers and roasters. Chick
ems of the egg breeds are suitable only
for smaller broilers. Hens of the gen
eral-purpose breeds also are more
"broody," making good sitters and
mothers, which is decided advantage
when it Is desired to hatch and raise
chicks. Hens of the egg breeds seldom
become broody and are in any event
rather unreliable sitters and mothers.
Lighter Breeds for Eggs.
II, however, the desire for eggs out
weighs that for an occasional table
fowl the lighter egg breeds undoubted-
ly will be more practicable because
they lay as many eggs and eat less
feed, with the result that they produce
the egg more cheaply. 1t is by all
means advisable to keep some pure
The Idaho Springs siftings-news., 1918-01-18

breed or variety. If this is done sales
at a profitable figure often can he
made of breeding stock which it Is in
tended to market or of eggs for hatch
ing.
The size of the flock which can be
most efficiently kept Will depend, first
of all. upon the space available and,
secondly, upon the amount of table
scraps or waste which is available for
feed. 1t is mistake to try to over
stock the available space. Better re-
suits will be obtained from few hens
in small yard than from a larger
number. The backyard poultry flock
rarely will consist of more than 20 to
% hens, and in many cases of not
more than eight or ten, or occasionally
of only three or four. For a flock of
90 to % hens n space of not less than
25 feet by 30 feet should be available
for a yard If less space is available
the size of the flock should be reduced.
allowing, on the average. 20 to 30
square feet for each fowl. A few hers
sometimes may be kept successfully
with a smaller yard allowance than
this, but If the space is available
yard of the size indicated should be
used.
Ordinarily, the best way for the city
poultry keeper to start flock is to
buy pullets in the fall when they are
cheaper. Unless there is scarcity
in the community now, however, there
is likely to he little trouble in secur
ing few hens at this time. although
prices probably will be higher. Pullets
obtained at this time will give better
returns II eggs are desired, while If
the intention is to raise chicks older
laying hens may be used, or dayold
chicks can be purchased and start
made in that way.
How to Buy hens.
When pullets or hens are to be pur-
chased 1t is well, if possible, to go
to some farmer or poultryman who is
known to the prospective buyer. II
there is no opportunity to go into
the country for pullets, they often can
be selected from among the live poul-
try shipped into the city to be mar
keted. The advice of some one who
knows poultry should be sought in
making such a purchase to make sure
that pullets or young hens are OBJ
tanned and that the stock is healthy.
Often the local poultry associations
are glad to help the prospective poul-
try keeper to get stock by putting him
in communication with some of its
members having stock for sale. Some
times the local board of trade or cham
Der of commerce is glad to help in
bringing together the prospective pur-
chaser and the poultry raiser.
In a later article suggestions as to
how an inexpensive poultry house
may be built or converted from an
unused shed will be given.
