THE EARLY BIRD PAYS
Itspays 10 Raise Standard Bred
A-lt Poultry.

TOullTJs
burlington, Feb. 2S.--Poultry rails
ers throughout the country should
not lose sight of the fact that il pays
better TO raise standard bred poul
try than the common barn yard or
Mongrel fowl. The standard bred
fowls cost no more to raise, house on
market than the Mcnggel; they eat no
more and lay better. They are more
Uniform in size and color. and VIXEN
dressed for the market they brine
more ner pound Standard bred
poultry can rough it as well or bet
ter than the common barn yard fowl
We therefore, advise all who pos
sbly can to raise good, strong. Wig
orous standard bred birds In order
that this may be successful there is
no question about the Early Hatch
campaign that was so vigorously
pushed last season and which is also
being pushed again this season
"Eearly Hatch means Early Lay
and summed up means more money

POULTRY CULLllN,

Poultry Specialist Show. How
To Gull Out Unproductive
Hens from Flocks. H.

Poultry cuYing demonstrations
were conducted in this county last
Saturday by Professor A. E. Chap.
man, Poultry Specialist from Univer.
sity Farm, st. Paul. Professor Chap
man says in selecting the hen for
egg production the same general prin.
clpleR apply in picking out hens as
well as for picking out good dairy
COWS. In picking out breeding stock
and persistent layers one should Sc.
lect those that moult last in the fall
as they are the ones that lay the
greater number of eggs during the
year. Trap nesting records and ex-
periments show the common mistake
has been in culling the flock during
the fall to pick the birds that moult
early and the birds that are highly
colored and especially the ones with
yellow legs. Mr.. Chapman points out
that the birds that have been laying
steadily through the season and are
still laying have not yet started to
moult and their beak, ear lobes, and
legs are white instead of yellow
material to make eggs. AS a rule the
and is good layer as this indicates
a good flow of blood through the egg
making system. The professor says
that birds often devote too much time
energy and attention to their new
winter coat. This may be partly ov-
ercome by selecting late moulters and
feeding literally of meats, oats and
other protein material during the
moulting period.
Poultry demonstrations and discus
sions were taken up on the farms of
Herman Tallakson, Nels Tallakson
Peter Anderson and DR.. B. ]. Bran
toms poultry place. County Agent
Sheay and H. S. Agricultural Instruct
or Person of Litchfeld, County Agent
Knock and Mr.. Howard of Benson
were here to attend this demonstra-
ton and culling work. County Agent
Rodegeb and the other county agents
are prepared to help farmers and poul-
try men in culling their flocks and Sc
lecting the birds they are going to
keep over winter for future produc
ton and breeding purposes.
Poultry experts claim that many
worthless, unproductive birds are be-
ing kept in the flocks year after year
that should be used for meat. If
hen lays just few eggs, then want
to set or lay idle the rest of the sea-
son. she can easily eat up a profit pro-
duced by another hen.
In other words if many focks were
carefully culled one third of the
flock could be removed and the re-
naming birds would produce more
eggs and more net profit at the end of
the year than if the whole flock was
kept Professor Chapman's idea is for
fair consideration and just treatment
of the hen. He says that trap nest
ing and experimenting have taught
poultry people number Of things that
the Babcock tester and the scales
have taught dairy men.
