| container prevents the feed from
caking.
A short stop was made next at the
farm of Paul Jordan, who keeps
Barred Plymouth Rocks, and then the
autos proceeded to c. D. Emrick's
farm, south of Eldorado.
Here a demonstration of methods
of selecting pullets for layers by the
body conforma ton was given by Mr..
Jones, using some of Emrick's Rhode
Island Reds as examples. Slipping
roosts, by which, Emrick claims, the
hens Gull themselves, the lazy ones
| being first to quit work and always
being found on the two top roosts; a
straw loft which provides good ven
tilation and prevents dampness and in
which, instead of straw, grain in the
bundles is used, saving storage space
and keeping food close at hand; and
plans for the new house, 140x24 feet,
which is now under construction,
were the principal points observed at
this farm
Eat With ZeIIers
Leaving Emrick's about 12:45, the
hungry tourists lost no time in get
ting to Lewisburg, where a lunch
awaited them at the home of Avon
Zellers, the owner of the next flock.
Those who had brought lunches ate
here and others received coffee and
sandwiches through the courtesy of
Mrs. Zellers.
After lunch the barns, which have
been revoked into poultry houses,
were visited and the White Leghorns
which Mr.. Zellers prefers were in
spected. Mr.. Jones again have a dem
onstration here. telling this time of
the methods of culling for egg pro-
duction and explaining the body con-
formation theory
The Bolton poultry farm, also
known as the A. B. c. farm, from the
initials of the three partners, was the
next and last on the list. The party
arrived at this farm about $3.50 and
was greeted by Mr. Ginger, one of
the partners.
Considerable time was spent in the
houses, Mr.. Jones calling attention
particularly to the windows in the
back side of the house under the
dropping boards, to the self-feeders,
and the nests, which are similar to
! those on the Mcpherson farm. There
was also a discussion of methods of
feeding and the values of different
feeds.
Members of the tour drove from
this farm directly to Richmond, leav-
ing West Alexandria about 4 o'clock.

least one new idea and with some de-
termined to revise their methods com.
pletely, the members of the Wayne
county poultry tour returned to Rich.
mond from Preble county, Ohio, at 5
O'Clock Friday afternoon, expressing
much satisfaction with the results OF
the tour.
F1tteen autos met at the courthouse
at o'clock Friday morning, where
Prof. A. L. Baldwin furnished all cars

The cavalcade waited for the poul-
try expert from Purdue, Mr.. Leroy
Jones, who arrived on the 9:15 car
from indianapolis. The cars then
drove out to the Porterfield hatchery
on the west edge of Richmond where
the tourists viewed the mammoth
electric incubators and heard Mrs.
Porterfield's explanation of her sue
cess with them.
Proceeding from Porterfields, the
procession drove down the Abingdon
pike to Herbert Turner's farm, where
the new houses were examined, spe-
clal interest being shown in the equip
ment of the houses, and in the chick
ems which were the American strain
of White Leghorns.
See White Leghorns.
Driving through Richmond and out
on the National Road East, the route
led north on the Old National Road to
the Paul Mcpherson place, a mile
south of New Paris, where the English
strain of White Leghorns are kept.
Much interest was manifested in the
plans for re-working an old barn here,
so as to furnish modern accommoda-
tons for the poultry. A ceiling will be
put in so as to cut the height down
and provide a comfortable tempera-
ture.
Across the back of the building.
which is very deep, an eight foot drop
ping board is provided with a double
row of nests along the front and back
sides, beneath the edges. Entrance to
the nests is from a running board
placed at the back, while eggs can
be gathered from the front through a
hinged door, which is closed ordinar-
lily, keeping the nests dark.
SeIf-Feeders Used
Self-feeders here are the same type
as those used on the A B. C. Farm,
consisting of pyramidal shaped con-
tanners, open at top and bottom, with
legs setting them up about an inch
and half or two inches, set in a box
about four inches deep and large
enough to provide a space about three
inches wide around the bottom of the
