IMPROVEMENT IN
POULTRY
By Prem Moore, Poultry Husbandman,
University of Idaho Extension
Division.

The primary object for keeping
fowls is egg production. It matters
not what other qualifications . hen
may have, if she is not producer,
she has no value. Eggs represent
about two-thirds of the value Of the
entire poultry industry in dollars and
cents. The hens carcass is merely .
by-produet of the poultry industry.
According to the farm data avail
able for the year 1918 and 1913, it
costs, on the average in Idaho, about
three dollars to feed hen q year.
These figures are based on conditions
where hens are fed the year around
The carcass of the average hen, on
the average market of Idaho, will sell
for less than one dollar, probably a
little less than one third Of the cost
of feeding for one year. If the aver
age hen is to break even with her
keeper, then she must lay at least
Sc eggs. The average price of eggs
in Idaho for this period was about AZ
cents per dozen, making the eggs
worth about three dollars. This would
not allow the farmer any compensa-
ton for his labor or investment.
Breaking even is much better than to
sustain a loss, but certainly is not
good business.
Eighty-six eggs per hen is much
above the average yearly production
for Idaho farm hens. There are those
farm flocks in Idaho, however, that
produce q much higher average. One
Idaho farm record that has been kept
for the last five years shows year
ly average Of 1874 eggs per year, per
hen. A production Of this average
would mean a net income of 1914 per
year per hen, or net profit Of $3.44.
There are other records Of shorter
duration that show even higher aver
ages than the one mentioned.
The real test of the success of any
proposition is determined by the, re-
suits obtained over long period of
time and from all the units affected.
High individual records, or high aver.
ages obtained from short tests, are
not the real test and are not valuable.

which in turn develop into small hens
of the breed, which in turn, lay small
eggs.
No fowl should be used for breed
ing purposes (either male or female)
that has ever shown any signs Of ply
steal weakness, at any time in its
life, it matters not how slight, nor
from what cause. 1t is not good
plan to mate brothers and sisters. If
these factors are eliminated there can
be no danger from inbreeding.

we mean stock of high producing
strain. Foundation stock should be
selected with great care. They should
be fowls of known ancestry, fowls that
are noted for their egg production,
fowls with blood line back of them.
Never overlook vigor. Realize that
it will be necessary to spend little
good money to secure the best in
foundation stock.
The Emmett index. [volume] (Emmett, Idaho) 1893-1925, 1920-01-08
Breeding Stock Should be Carefully
Selected.


The practice of poultry breeding on
the average farm is to secure males
enough to mate all of the hens on the
farm, irrespective of the fitness OF
either male or female for breeding
purposes. There are those hens in
every flock that lay but few eggs
and those nocks in which no hen ever
lays many eggs. The hen that lays
but few eggs at any time does her
laying at the time when eggs are
being used for Matching purposes. The
heavy producing hen does much Of
her laying in the winter months and
may have 4 tendency to go broody in
early spring. The farmer sets the
high producing hen on the eggs Of
the low producing hens. Consequently
there can be no improvement. Like
produces like. If low producing hens
are permitted to reproduce the flock,
the progeny certainly will be no bet
ter than the parent stock.

Twenty POUNDS Taking
TanlAe

at sure was lucky day for me
when L began taking Tanlac," said
Leo Prettner, an employee of the
Hammond Lumber Company, who re-
sides at ITS Aston Street, Watts, Cal. ;,
recently. Continuing, he said:
About four years ago | began to
suffer with stomach trouble. Every
thing ate would sour and gas would
form and / would have the worst sort
Of pains. l would become terribly
nauseated and soon got so l could not
retain thing, not even water or milk
would have vomiting spells after
every meal that would leave me so
weak could scarcely get around. Of
ten when / went home from work my
wife would have tempting dishes pre-
pared hoping it would induce me to
eat a little something, but would
have to leave the table without eating
mouthfui, for the very sight Of the
food would make me sick. l went on
a milk diet for a while but that did
me no good as could not keep it down
never knew what it was to get
good nights sleep for l was so weak
and nervous l could not sleep but q
few minutes at time. At this time
1 was mining in Yellowpine New, and
when l had fallen from 1856 to 1875
pounds l gave up my job, for l was
so weak and rundown / could not
work. / was afraid l had tuberculosis
and came here to California hoping
the change would do me good, but it
did not, for. was just as bad as ever
and was so weak and nervous would
just tremble like leaf, and l would
dread to see night come for l would
get up feeling worse than when l
went to bed. had taken all sorts of
medicine, but they seemed to make me
worse instead of better.
Before l left Yel1owpine l had a
friend who had been in a condition
similar to mine, and he told me Tanlac
had saved his life, and urged me to
try it. But 1 did not, for l was dis
couraged and Disguised with all medi-
cines. Well, one night after coming
here / read statement of man who
was relieved by it who had been in
the same condition was, and then l
remembered by friends advice, and
next day l started taking Tanlac and
by the time l had finished two bot
ties / was a great deal better, and
when l had taken three bottles knew
was getting well. l began to eat
again and my stomach was in fine
shape. All the gas and nausea left
me entirely, began to sleep well
again and all my nervousness disap-
peared. have used seven bottles
now and am back at work feeling as
strong and good as / ever did in my
life. l have gained twenty pounds in
weight and feel ten years younger
than l did year ago. If ! had only
taken my friends advice when he re-
commended Tanlac l sure would have
saved lot of suffering"
Tanlac is sold in Emmett by H. T.

Males.

It is true that breeding can be i'm
proved, and the quality of flocks built
up by the use of good males; which
brings Us back to the common farm
practice Of poultry breeding. Farmers
are not particular enough about the
breeding or the blood line back Of the
males they use for breeding purposes
Only the very best hens Of flock
should be used for breeding purposes

Announcement previously made in
The Evening Journal that Welsh tea

Branch Of the Sunshine Society. has
aroused widespread interest. Inquiries
have come TO Alert Branch from many
persons OF Welsh ancestry not only I'm

American organ of the Welsh people.
has been the means Of securing Profess
sor Timothy Davies, graduate Of COL
lege OF Music, London. to be among
the guests, and will bring a Welsh
choir with him from Marcus Hook,
which will consist OF twenty or more
voices. The chorus has been trained
to perfection, and entertained at the
various shipyards and ammunition
plants during the war. Their services
are always in demand
The chorus and sOloists will sing
American selections. The chorus will
be a great attraction, and also the
Welsh talent from Chester, among
them TO be readers OF fame, who have
won in competitions at various places

and leave them at the hall for distrib-
ution to shut-ins. the next day. The
Sunshine Society goes on the principle,
give flowers to people while they are
living and can enjoy them"
small sum will lie charged for the
tea and reception to follow. those at
tending the tea being admitted without
extra charge TO the reception.
Friends will be asked TO furnish ma
chimes on this day, in order that all the
shut-lns OF Wilmington using Sunshine
