THE FOLLOWING SPEECH WAS

FAIR, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, BY
PROF. CHARLES 8. BREWSTER.

PoultIymen are now being con-
fronted with the problem of how to

quality chicks in their spring breed

most careful consideration. BY "qual-
ity chicks" we mean little fellows
that are large, strong, vigorous and
husky; that pop" out of the shell
in large numbers and which are free
from disease. Such chicks will live
and thrive and grow rapidly If given
a proper CHARGE and IL the stock
from which they came has been prop
erly bred. will give results in egg pro-
duction. Good chicks are the foun-
dation upon which, you are building
for your success next year. Failure
to produce good chicks will mean
fewer or poorer pullets next fall and
consequently less profits.
Assuming that the breeding birds
are strong, healthy and vigorous,
that they have been properly selected
and mated so that the chicks will in

OF the whole grain or scratch feeds.
II you are mixing your own mash
cut down the amount of meat feeds
in the mash to 10 or 15 per cent. II
you are feeding a prepared mash, as
rost commercial poultrymen are do
ing, and are feeding the laying flock

grain and mash, increase the grain
ration for the breeders until they are
eating twice as much grain as mash.

the fertility of the eggs. II sour
milk or fresh buttermilk is available
give the hens all they will drink, or
as much as possible. II neither OF
these can be obtained readily, use
condensed buttermilk. The lactis acid
content OF the sour milk or butter
milk acts as a tonic and conditioner
and keeps the digestive tract In a
healthy condition. Provide plenty
of green feed in the form Of kale,
mangels, carrots sugar beets, and
cabbage, or let the hens run on
pasture of alfalfa, clover or young
oats, barley or rye. II green feeds
are not available in sufficient guam
tity give the flock EPSON salts at the
rate of one and one-half pounds per
100 hens, giving this amount In the
water that the hens will consume in
one day, every two or three weeks.
The condition of the droppings will
determine how often to feed the salts
Whenever they become dry or
crumbly It Is time TO give the salts.
Some authorities claim that the heavy
feeding of mangels will result in
lower fertility in the eggs. Plenty OF
fresh, clean water is always essential
for any kind OF chickens.
To sum It all up, we might say
that for breeding hens ration COM
posed largely Of whole grain, fed
in dry litter to force exercise. plenty
OF green feed, milk, water, grit, shell
and charcoal is all that Is needed to
keep them In good condition and
that only sufficient mash should be
added to produce sufficient eggs for
Matching.
AS soon as the breeding season Is
over begin to gradually increase the
amount OF mash fed until the hens
are on a full ration, and force them
for production the balance OF the
season.
Remember that 1t never pays to
trust blindly to "luck" in any line OF
poultry work. Good matches of strong,
livable chicks are not the result OF
luck" They are the definite re-
suit of proper breeding. careful Sc.
lection. and painstaking care In the
management Of the breeding stock.

ticle.

The present Income Tax Law re-
quires that returns for 1919 be filed
on or before March 18th, 1920, at
the Office of the Collector of Internal
Revenue for the district in which the
taxpayer lives. At least one quarter

turn.
An unmarried person must file a
return if his or her net income was
81 900 or over: and married person

was $4,000, or over. A widow or
widower or married person living
apart from his wife is classed as a
single person.
The requirement to file a Federal

there being a tax due.
