KEEP MOTHER HEN CONFINED
Loss Of Chicks by Exposure Largely
PreventabIe by Keeping Hen IN
Ill.,. Ventilated Coop.

It is not good poultry management
to allow the mother hen to range I'M
restricted with her chicks. With such
freedom the hen frequently takes her
brood through wet grass and, as re-
suit, some are chilled and die, espe-
cially the weaker ones, which are like
ly to be left behind. The loss of young
chicks which follows such a practice
is large and mainly preventable. Fur
thermore, the food which a brood al
lowed to range with the hen obtains
goes very largely to keep up the heat
of the body and the chicks do not
make as good growth as they other
wise would.
Chick losses of this nature can be
largely prevented by shutting the hen
in a coop. Any style of coop when
is dry, ventilated and can be closed
at night to protect the brood against
cats, rats and other animals, and

SPECIAL CARE FOR ROOSTER
Keep Male Exercising, Supply Plenty
of Proper Kind Of Food and Eggs
Should Be Fertile.

Good breeding males sometimes get
themselves out Of breeding condition
by overgallantry. Instead of taking
their share of the food they call the
hens. A good plan is to give every
male a special feed at night. Many
breeders coop the male at night and
feed him morning and night.
See to it that the males spurs are
not long and sharp enough to cut the
backs of the hens. Either wrap them
with narrow strips of cloth or saw
them off.
If the male has bare spot on the
head, or torn waffle, the hens are
likely to peck at him. Some males
will permit the hens to pluck feathers
and peck at their noses until there Is
a raw surface. Grease these bare
spots with carbolized vaseline, and
coop the bird until the wound has a
chance to heal over. An open wound
Of this sort is apt to become infected
with the germ Of chickenpox and give
lots Of trouble. Pigeons, sparrows and
other birds are said to carry chicken
pox. If the germs are in the ground,
and the male rubs his sore spots with
infected feet, he is almost sure to get
the disease. .
Keep him exercising, give him plen-
ty of the right kind Of food and the
eggs should be fertile.

STRICT STANDARD FOR EGGS:
When Well.Established Produce Of
First Glass, Fresh Article Will
Bring Highest Price.

(By C, s. ANDERSON, Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins.)
The day of Standardization In the
egg market is here. When eggs sold
for cent apiece, the claim ian egg
is an egg" was accepted. With our
present increased prices, the con-
sumner naturally is asking for great
er quality and higher standardization
in the products he buys. 4.
: A number Of our best markets are
now demanding that eggs shall weigh
at least "a ounces per dozen. They
must stand Gambling test, be clean,
uniform in size, shape and color of
shell. ~.
When rigid standards are we'll es-
tablished the producer Of first-class
fresh eggs will receive premium
and will no longer have his prices
governed by the ungraded, poorly
handled product.

Mother Hen in Coop.

which, while combining the hen, will
allow the chicks to pass in and out
freely after they are a few days old,
will be satisfactory. The hen should
be confined until the chicks are
weaned, though small yard may be
attached to the coop, If desired, to al
low the hen to exercise. The fence
can be raised from the ground far
enough to allow the chicks to go in
or out, but not high enough for the
hen to escape. BY using q coop the
chicks can find shelter and warmth
under the hen at any time and the
weaklings, after few days, may de-
yelop into strong, healthy chicks.

PRODUCING EGGS IN SUMMER
Better Methods Of Caring for Eggs
and Proper Packing Would Reduce
Needless Loss.

Losses in eggs during the summer
months fall directly upon the farmers.
Dealers know that an average Of 10 to
10 per cent Of eggs marketed during
the summer is either total or a par
tial loss; hence prices, they say, are
based upon good eggs only.
i Better methods Of caring for the
eggs and better packing before they
are shipped would reduce this unnec-
essary loss.
A few definite rules for the pre-
vention Of loss in summer eggs are
formulated by the poultry division at
the Pennsylvania State college: ~
Produce sterile or infertile eggs. (2)
Keep eggs in cool, dry place. CD
Have clean nests and plenty of them.
az Do not keep the eggs near kerosene
or decaying vegetables. They absorb
odors readily. (5) Market the eggs fire.
quently. Holding does not improve
quality.

How x.Ray Movies Are Taken.

DR.. E. L. Crusius of the New York
X-Ray laboratories announces that In
ro-operation with film company he
has perfected system for taking x
ray moving pictures which is expected
TO be of great service in treating in
iuries Of the joints. A private exhibit
lion for physicians and surgeons will
be held, after which Doctor Crusius
will lecture and demonstrate the proc
eSs.
Among the pictures taken thus far
are illustrations Of the movements Of
the knee ankle, and elbow. Doctor
Crusius says that the photographs
show not only the bones but the mus
cles, and that by moving a joint that
has been injured and photographing
the action of muscles and movements
OF bones 1t will be possible to find out
Just what parts have been injured and
the treatment required.

MARKED EGGS IN INCUBATOR
Just Before ripping Sew Eggs Which
Are to Be Pedigreed Into Cheese
cloth Sacks.

The eggs of one hen, or a setting Of
eggs, may be Matched in the incubator
with other eggs, if, just before piping,
the eggs to be pedigreed are sewed in
to cheesecloth sacks. Make the sacks
large enough to leave plenty Of room
for each chick, and see that there are
no loose threads to choke the chicks.
If there are several sacks, mark each
sack, as the shells are often broken
too much to show the record. Boil.the
sacks before using a second time.
