EARLY HATCHED
CHICKENS BEST
Too Much Emphasis Cannot sc FAC
ed Upon the Importance OF
Early Matching.

Ry H. b. Lansden. Poultry Specialist
Agricultural Extension Division,
University of Arkansas.
Early Matched chickens are best
and most profitable because the cock
erels are ready for the market wher
prices are highest and early Matched
pullets lay when eggs are selling for
the most.
Early Chickens More Vigorous.
Early Matched chickens give the
best results. They are usually the
strongest and most vigorous be
cause they are produced from eggs
laid while the hens are in their best
breeding condition. After long pc
Rod of laying, hens lose something
of their vitality and their capacity tc
transmit vigor to their offspring, and
so late hatched chicks are, as rule
decidedly inferior to early Matched in
vigor and constitution.
Make Better and Cheaper Growth.
Because they are more thrifty and
vigorous, early Matched chickens make
quicker, better and cheaper growth
than late chickens. Weak and under
sized chickens often consume as much
feed as much larger and better de.
veloped birds. and still make no per
ceptible growth.
More Healthy.
Early chickens develop to the stage
where they can withstand extreme
heat and the attacks of parasites,
which are numerous and troublesome
In hot weather Late chickens are
likely to be caught by severe heat
Just at the stage of their growth
where heat is most facilitating to
hem. In their weakened condition
they then become an easy prey TO lice
and mites, their growth is interrupted,
and when the cold, wet weather comes
in the fall they are peculiarly sus.
ceptible to it and likely to develop
colds, while vigorous early chicks find
he GOODNESS stimulating and are not
injured by the dampness.
Early Matching reduces the risks
due to the vicissitudes of Matching
When eggs do not hatch well early
in the season there is time to find the
-eason for poor Matching and correct
1t before the season is too for ad-
vanced to get reasonably early chicks
n the numbers desired. In that case
poultry production may not be re-
duced at all, and egg production is
retarded only a few weeks. When
late' Matching is not satisfactory the
crop OF poultry is cut short and egg
production fails.
Remember March. April and May
are the best months in which to
hatch chickens.

TAKE CARE AND FEED THE PIG
PROPERLY FOR BEST RESULTS
BY II X. Sanders, Pig Club Specialist,
University OF Arkansas.

Care and feed are two great factors
in producing pigs; consequently how
to feed thep pigs before weaving should
be well understood. 1t is true that il
pigs are given an opportunity they
VIII begin to eat when about three
weeks old For these young animals
nothing is superior to skim milk mix
ed with shorts. Many farmers have
no skim milk, and in this case a thin
slop of shorts will be the best thing to
feed until the pigs are from four to
six weeks old, after which time the ra-
ton should be made up of equal parts
of corn meal and shorts. These young
animals should not be fed on corn
alone. They should bee given such
feeds as skim milk, shorts, pas
ture, cowpeas, soy beans. meal and
peanuts, because they make bone and
muscle.
Weaving the Pigs.
Don't wean under eight weeks of
age. 1t is better not to wean until 10
or II weeks OF age. The mothers
feed at weaving time should be re-
duced so that the now of milk will
be checked. If full feed is continued
when the pigs are weaned, the moth
er's teats and udders are apt to be
ruined. Gains on Young sucking pigs
can be made as cheap by feeding a
given amount OF feed to the mother
as feeding directly to the pigs, yet the
pigs should be accustomed to feeds
before they are taken from the moth
ers. II not they are sure to be SER
iously checked in their growth.
Feed what they will readily clean
up OF five parts corn meal, five parts
of shorts and one part of tankage or
nine parts of corn meal to one part of
tankage, bran or middlings for young
pigs; and for adult pigs one part tank
age to IL parts of corn. bran or mid
dlings will balance the rations in the
proper proportion OF each TO build up
the bone and muscle OF the pig. Pigs

FARM and GROVE
Agricultural News Service
Extension Division u. of F. .,
(or University of Florida.)
Farmers Have a Problem

"The shortage of farm labor
and the high prices of feeds put
many vexatious problems up to
the farmer" says John M. Scott
OF the University of Florida ex-
pertinent station. "In addition to
their troubles from this source,
farmers are advised to increase
the number of hogs, beef cattle,
dairy COWS, and poultry on the
farm, While the advice is given
in good faith, few realize the
farmers position.
The present labor situation is
being keenly felt by the farmers
of the State, yet there is a strong
demand for increased crop pro-
duction and also an increased
number of farm animals.
According to our best fig
ures," says Mr.. Scott, "there has
been a very decided increase in
the number of hogs in the State
in the last two years. In fact, the
percentage increase in hogs has
been much greater than the in
crease in our crop production.
And that brings us face to face
with Florida's big problem-that
of increased crop production.
How can it be solved with our
present labor shortage?"
One solution sent by Mr.. Scott
is that Of using our soils to the
best advantage. He says there
are too many acres of land in the
State planted to corn that will not
produce more than ten or fifteen
bushels per acre. This land should
either be allowed to lay out or be
planted to some crop that will
produce more feed per acre than
will corn. There is great deal
of land that is now being used for
pasture that would no doubt pro-
duce a larger amount of food
products if planted to corn or
some other crop.
The solution reverts to a knowl-
edge of the soil and what it can
be made to produce with the least
of labor.
