Remove Males From F1ocks

Produce infertile eggs. They are
worth more, as they keep better and
they cost less to produce since there
are no. roosters to feed. No expense
education, ability, or labor other
than catching and killing or sell
ing the BOOSTERS are necessary. he
move the males at once.
While eggs are plentiful some
should be preserved for the winter
months. as they will be scarce and
high priced. 1t costs but little in
time. money, and labor, and is SO
easily done that it is only common
sense to do it. Use fresh, infertile
eggs and let customers know that
they can get such eggs for preserV-
ing. Those who have never preserved
eggs should get in touch with the
county or home demonstration agent
the state extension director, or the
United States department of agri-
culture.
Now is the time to begin culline
f1ocks. Send the roosters to the chop
ping block or the market. Eliminate
all weaklings and deformed chicks
Get rid of the chick that stands
along the side of the coop with its
wings down, it's feathers ruffled, eye
shut, and head down. Do not keeI
a single chick that you are not sure
it will pay to raise.
Shade, clean, fresh water, clean
coops. and colony houses, and good
ventilation and plenty of room dur
ing the night are of the greatest
importance in growing healthy, Wig
orous, strong birds, whether they
are for meat, eggs. or breeding.
Growing chicks should have plenty
of good, nourishing food. Bone mea,
should be fed literally to those in
tended for layers or breeders.
Do not forget to continue the fight
on mites and lice They must ne
fought all the time in all sections
and in all seasons.

Persons from all over Ohio and

TO leave the fields they encountered
the trenches and seemed content to
lie in the bottom of these.
The worms were about an inch

KEEP RATS FROM POULTRY

Every poultry man should be on
guard continually against rats. Ihey
destroy feed, eggs, and fowls, and
are inveterate enemies to all kinds
of poultry. from chicks. SQUADS,
ducklings and young turkeys just
out of the shell to tough old birds
awaiting the Ratchet at the close Of
most of their depredations are con-
fined to eggs and young birds, when
driven by hunger rats Kill full
grown fowls at roost, biting them
through the head or neck.
Complaints about rats have come
to the United States Biological Sur
vey, Department of Agriculture, from
many quarters. For example, a farm
err in Virginia reported 26 turkeys
killed by these pests in a night. An
other, in Kansas, lost between 200
and 800 chickens and many eggs by
rats during the course of one sum-
mer. His neighbors had similar ex-
periences. From New Jersey has
come a report of rats killing young
ducks. An Ohioan has complained
that the animals burrow beneath his
coops and take chicks from under
the hen. In certain neighborhoods
of Massachusetts half of seasons
hatch of chickens and ducklings has
been killed by rats.
Rats multiply rapidly when left
undisturbed where there is plenty
to eat One pair may increase to
more than 1000 in a single year.
Whoever allows his property to be-
come overrun by them invites vex-
alton and loss.
Farmers Bulletin No. 896, "House
Rats and Mice" describes various
methods by which the depredations
| of these pests may be prevented.
