HOW MANY HENS TO KEEP

The size of the flock which can be
most efficiently kept depend first of
all upon the space available, and, sec
ondly, upon the amount of table
scraps or other waste which is avail
able for feed. 1t is a mistake to try
to overstock the available space. Bet
ter results will be obtained from a
few hens in a small yard than from a
larger number. The backyard poul-
try flock rarely will consist of over
20 or rs hens, and in many cases of
not more than or 10, or occasion
ally of only or 4. For flock of 20
to 25 hens a space of not less than
25 by 80 feet should be available for
yard. Where less space is avail
able, the size of the flock should be
reduced, allowing on the average 20
to 80 square feet per bird. A few
hens are sometimes kept successfully
with smaller yard allowance than
this, but if the space is available a
yard of the size indicated should be
used.

RAISING PIGEONS
MAY BE MADE PRO"
FITABLE SIDE LINE

Many people can keep pigeons
successfully as a side issue, although
this requires constant oversight and
careful attention to details. The
greatest difficulty confronting the
successful raiser of pigeons seem to
be in securing good breeding stock
and finding a good market for the
produce of small flock. Pigeons are
profitable source of income on gen
eral farms where they may secure
much of their feed from the fields,
provided they are not a nuisance and
the loss by shooting and by hawks,
owls, and cats is not large. They
can also be raised successfully on
farms where they are closely conlin-
cd, provided the squads can be r1ar-
keted to good advantage.
Of the squab-raising varieties the
Homer is considered the most popu-
lar variety. The labit of this bird
of returning home Il allowed free
dom makes it necessary to confine
pigeons purchased from other lofts.
The carneauX pigeon has recently
become popular as q SQUAD producer

the Homer and it is stated is about

obtain among many American focks,
The young stock should be carefully
examined, handled, and judged to as
certain whether orInot they possess
the makings of profitable producers.
All the weaker chickens and those
that are not thrifty and doing well,
as we'll as youngsters which are not
feathering sufficiently fast and show
ing the proper amount of growth,
should be culled from the, flock. From
August Is to September 1 also is a
desirable time to separate the cock
erels from the pullets, limiting each
sex to special coops, houses, and runs
so that they can not mingle.
TROUBLE FROM CROWDING
The overcrowding of young stock
at night in congested lodgings is the
cause of much serious trouble in that
the birds which are packed closely
together become overheated and per-
spire freely so that when they go out
into the cold air of early morning
they are extremely subject to catch
ing cold. This indisposition favors
the development of roup and similar
troubles, which, once they are es-
tablished in the flock, are difficult
to eradicate without dispensing the
flock.
Every poultryman should take a
census of his young stock and at the
same time should investigate his
housing accommodation during the
late summer in order that the pullets
he retains in the flock as future pro-
ducers may have plenty of room in
which to develop properly and a
surplus of space for their comfort at
night. The gauge f the determin-
alton of whether the pullet flock
should be culled is the condition and
appearance of the birds at night. If
the flock is uniformly spread out over
the floor so that all the fowl arc
comfortable, there is no need for
close culling unless some of the birds
give external evidence of poor, pro-
duction and Improbable type, when
they should be eliminated from the
flock. If, on the other hand, the
fowl are crowded closely together in
the house, punched and jammcd in
the corners, or obliged to stand most
of the time, the least progressing
fowl should be called Immediately
from the rest of the flock. The warm
days in late summer are severe
enough on the pullets where they arc
maintained under the most favorable
conditions, but where the i'll effects
of extreme heat are combined witt
the disastrous results which occur

Either of the following suggested
dry-mash mixtures should be fed in a
dry-mash hopper, allowing the fowl
to have access to it at all times:

part bran, 1 part middlings, and l
part beef scrap. Mash No. 2-Three
parts corn meal and 1 part

from lack of sufficient housing space
it borders on the miraculous If the
young fowl develop into anything but
improbable misfits.
DROP POOR MALE BIRDS
Subsequent to the separation OF
the cockerels from the pullcts, the
male birds should also be culled, only
the largest, choicest, most vigorous
and best type birds being retained
for breeding purposes, while their
less promising mates should be mar
keted Immediately if they are in a
fairly fat condition. Under average
conditions it does not pay to fit and
condition the surplus cockerels for
the poultry market, as the best plan
is to feed the young stock at all
times a bountiful ration of growing
and fattening feeds so that whenever
culling is practiced the undesirable
fowl will be in a fairly good condi-
ton for early consumption on the
family table. Furthermore, feeding
the young stock in this manner
means that the pullets are fit and
prime for active service in the egg
laying line.

CONSIDER HEALTH OF
BIRDS IN BUILDING
PIGEON HOUSES

The essentials of pigeon house arc
fresh air, dryness, and good drainage,
sunlight, and space enough for the
comfort of the pigeons.
A southern or southeastern expos
ure is best. Care should be taken to
construct house that can not easily
become infested with rats, and it is
best to leave space under the house
into which cats and dogs can go for
rats without being able to get at the
pigeons. This is usually accomplish
ed by building the house II to "a in
ches above the ground and boarding
up the space between the ground and
the floor, but leaving small doors for
cats and dogs. Floors built several
inches above the ground, except IN
warm climates, should be double, with
building paper between the layers.
The house should be tightly const-
ructed on all sides to prevent any
drafts. While more open and less eX-
pensivc houses may be built in warm
climates, the house must be comfort
able in cold weather. The squads
produced in winter may be increased
somewhat by heating the pigeon
house, but this does not pay under
average conditions. Sunlight is es-
Sential.
Windows should be made about one
tenth of the front of the house and
be so arranged that they can be taken
out during the warm weather. One
window in each pen may be replaced
by muslin curtains for ventilation in
cold weather. The windows should
be placed just below the caves to al
low the sun to shine we'll back into
the house.
A gable-roof building 10 to IS feet
wide, feet from the floor to the cav
es, and s to 9 feet to the ridge, makes
a good pigeon house. A pen 8 by 3
feet will accommodate rs pairs of
pigeons, while 40 pairs may be kept
in a pen by 13 feet. The necessary
floor space to allow per pair varies
from 21a to 8 square feet, according
to the size of the pen, as pair OF
birds requires less floor space in large
than in small pens. From 20 to rs
pairs of pigeons may be kept to ad-
vantage in each pen.

the pelvic bones, two bones which are
felt as points on either side of the
back. In the case of hens which arc
laying, the pelvic bones feel thinner
and more flexible, while there is q

them. A smaller spread usually in
Dictates that the hen is not laying.
Usually the laying hen shows q
greater extension of the abdomen
which may be measured by placing
the fingers between the pelvic bones
and the end of the keel.
In the case of the smaller birds
such as the White Lcghorns, tho
spread of abdomen is usually threc
fingers or more, while with the larger
birds, such as the Plymouth Rock, The
spread is four fingers or more. The
laying hen usually has an abdomen
which is softer and more flexible, ano
feels like the partly milked-out uddel
of a cow. When the hen is not lay
ing the abdomen is harder and more
contracted.
Consider All Factors
Any hen that shows signs of sick
ness, or generally debilitated condi
ton, should be culled from the flock
In forming an opinion as to whether
or not the hen is laying sufficiently
we'll to favor her retention in the ffocl
for another season or so, it is not adj
visable to place too much Importance
on any one of the factors discussed
above, but rather to summarize tn
appearance and production qualitie
of each bird rather than to rely oil
any one symptom as cause OF cui
ling certain birds from the flock.
Generally it is desirable for TN
: owner to practice continual culling II
the case of the young stock; that Is
to dispense with the undesirable fow
as often as they are discovered during
+ the frequent and regular handling o
the birds. All pullets which are un
thrifty, sickly, or not doing well
+ should be culled from the flock. Th
same methods can also be practices
in The selection of the flock for bree'
ing purposes, only the pick of the bes
fowl being retained in the breeding
flock.

Sherlock Holmes used high-power
microscopes, chemicals, finger-print
records and rouges' gallery photos in
rounding up offenders against justice.
The poultry owner must rely chiefly
on the past production records of The
fowl, as we'll as on their external ap-
pcarance, condition, and general con-
formation, in his task of separating
the chaff from the wheat. 1t is es-
scntial that he go through the flock
between August Is and September
Is and make a thorough culling, dis
carding all the Improbable produc-
crs so they may not be parasitic on
the profits of the flock during the sea-
son when range is not available and
the expenses of feeding the birds are
corrcspondingly increased.
AS rule the hens which have stop
ped laying by the middle of August
or September are the poorest produc-
ers in the flock and, consequently,
will be the lowest yiclders in success
sive seasons. Hence, it is necessary
to rid the flock of such lazy drones
in order that the better producers
may be favored in care, feed, and
general poultry management.
When Test is Best
Specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture say that The
best and most easily applied test to
ascertain the best-laying fowl is The
date when the hens begin to mott
Most hens, when they start TO mott
stop laying, or nearly cease egg pro
duction. Furthermore, it is easy tt
examine the plumage of each hen II
order to ascertain whether any pir
feathers or partially grown feathers
are shown. In case the hen is thru
melting the poultryman can convince
himself of that condition by the pre-
sence of clean, onworn plumage.
In the case of the acknowledged
birds, the color of the legs is some
indication of good producing capac
ity and persistency, as the hens tenC
to lose their bright yellow color a
the laying eason progresses. Coco
producers usually have white or pail
yellow legs during the late summer
and early fall, while poor producer
will show straw colored or medium
yellowish legs. If the flock has access
to good grass range, the birds, as
rule, will maintain their leg colo
longer than where there is little gras
or where only bare yards are provid
ed. Accordingly, on the grass rang
not as much Importance is given =
leg color.
Comb Is an Indicator
The color of the beak applies alont
similar lines, except that it disap
pears and reappears more rapid,
than the pigment in the legs. Fur
thermore, the appearance of the conf
is an indication of whether or not tn
hen is laying. The bird with the re'
comb, which is full of blood and thor
oughly expanded, usually is laying
while the fowl having a comb which
is smaller, shrunken, and dull red il
color, harder, and covered with whit
er scales, is ordinarily not laying

Biddy's boudoir must be spacious,
commodious, and amply roomy so
that the pullets will not be crowded
together and packed in as tightly as
spectators at World Series ball
game. 1t is essential to provide
plenty of house space-and particu-
larly floor and roost space for all the
young birds in the flock, as nothing
is moro permanently injurious and
detrimental to the rapid and econo-
mical development Of the birds than
congested quarters. The growth of
young fowl is stunted and prevented
where the birds are packed together
in close confinement. A safe rule is
20 allow at least or 4 square feet of
floor psace in the poultry house for
