BUILDING UP A
POULTRY FLOCK

FOULThI ELOCh
 If cockerels or bullets are used in the breeding flock they should be well ma tured, poultry specialists advise. Hens are better than bullets. They lay larger eggs, which produce stronger chIcsSs Yearling and two-year-old hens are better than older ones. Pullets used as breed CTS should be mated with a cock rather than with a cockerel. If cockerel is used he should be mated with hens rather than with bullets. As rule well-Ina- tured cockereis will give better fertility than cocks.
 ! When possible free range should be provided for the breeding stock. It is bet ter to provide it during the entire fall and winter before the breeding season, but. if this is not possible, free range just preceding and during the breeding season will be of great value. Birds on free range will get more exercise and. therefore, will be i'll better health and will give higher fertility, better matches and stronger chicks
 The breeding flock needs careful su- pervision to make sure that the fowls keep in good breeding condition. The birds and the houses should be eXamin ed often to see that they are not infested with lice or mites. Either of these pests in any numbers will seriously affect or | totally destroy fertility. Care must be | exercised also 10 see that the male does not frost his comb or watt!cs. If these are frosted his ability to fertilize eggs will be impaired and may not be recov- cred for several weeks. On very cold | nights when there is danger of the combs being frosted the males to be used as | breeders must be put in a warm place,
 such as a box or crate of suitable size | partly covered by a bog or cloth. The | breeding male should be examin ed Socca- sionally after feeding to see that his crop
 is full and that he is not growing thin. | Some males will allow the hens to eat all | the feed, with the result that they get | out of condition. If this happens the rnaie must be fed separately from the ! hens at least once a day.
 | Provide the breeding stock with com
 fortabfe quarters. The house must be | draftproof. yet we'll ventilated and dry. | The birds should not be crowded. If the
 birds are yardcd, four square feet of ofor | Space per bird should be allowed. but on | free range from three to three and one
 half souare feet per bird will be enough.
 The breeders must be. fed so as to keep l them in such condition that they will | produce eggs. Any good laying ration lis suitable for this purpose. Beef scrap
 should not run above 10 or 15 per cent. of tho total ration. The birds should he
