FALL WORK WITH POULTRY

Chicks Unless Closely Watched
Three Big Points.

prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
Growing chicks should be looked aft
er very closely, as overcrowding is
liable to happen, owing to the fact
that the chicks are getting larger and
need more room. This is very i'm
portant point. Care given the flock
at this time means a profit; lack OF
care, loss. The three important
points are (1) fresh air, especially dur
ing the night, t2) fresh water at al
times and (3) clean quarters.
In every instance where egg pro
ducton is the end sought, the pullet.
should be put into winter quarters as
soon as possible. Their winter quar-
tiers should be ready In advance. Al
this season cockerels should be Sc
lected for next springs breeders anc
placed by themselves with plenty OF
run if possible. None but strong, Wig
orou:s specimens should be selected.
Culling can be done all through tht
year, but at no time is it more profit
able than at this season with the grow

1t may pay to keep late-hatched pull
lets that are we'll grown for their age
even though they should not lay until
midwinter, but an early-hatched pull
let that is understood at this season

Using pullets good care and good feed
ing should be the rule at all stages.
IT is impossible to grow pullets care
lessly and on short rations until they
reach the age when they should be
full grown and mature, and then bring
them forward quickly by short
course of good management.
A pullet that is worth keeping as
layer is worth good care and full rations
all the time. A pullet that is not con-
sidered worth keeping should be eaten
or marketed as soon as she is eatable.
The one exception to this is where
there is more than enough waste feed
foc all the poultry kept. Even then it
will pay better to sell the unthrifty
birds as soon as their character is ap-
parent and to buy good, thrifty ones
to replace them.

DETERMINE SEX IN CHICKS
Difficult to Distinguish Until Head
Parts Begin to Develop, Says
Oklahoma Expert.

A correspondent asks if there is any
way of telling q male chick from q
female when they are week old. The
Leghorns are probably the quickest
breed to develop, but even with these
it would be q hard matter to tell q
cockerel from pullet at so early an
age. You will have to wait until the

difference indicated, according to Prof.
