utility Comments

The o. K. Poultry Journals columns
contained the following statements from
Walter Burton:
He says that there is not a standard
flock of poultry in America. That Is
as true as the gospel, and the poultry
judges of America know it Is fact
that when they get in poultry show
and find a real standard specimen in a
class they never work harder. If
they have a real standard model and
give that fowl first, the exhibitor learns
little for the reason that the second and
third winners in the same class look
like dubs and do not follow the blue
ribbon winner at all. If the fancier
would trapnest like the egg man Is
doing here in the northwest he would
soon build up a flock where one fowl
looks like another. Walter never told
a greater truth than when he called
the attention of the fancy to the fact
that there were so few standard fowls
in America. There are lots of yards
that run fairly uniform in type and
color, hut on the other hand, these same
focks often produce fowls that are so
far ahead Of the rest Of the flock that
the majority of the flock looks very
little like the winning fowl. A uniform
flock can be built up if trapnests are
used and records kept or the lndlVldual
fowls. It is easy to breed cattle for the
reason that pedigrees are very little
trouble to keep, but where fowls are
kept in large fiocks the trapnest is
the only thing that will locate the big
layers and tell whether a hen standard
IN type is a good or poor layer. We
must quit guessing. We must quit
claiming big layers in our flock until
We can get to that point where We can
.rapnest and know what our hens are
aging 1 know a woman who claims
nearly 800 eggs for one of her Barred
Rocks. know from her neighbors that
he has no trapnest on her place and
lnow from my own observation that
ihe could not keep a trapnest record
f she had the nest in which she might
rap her hens. 1t is this kind of adver-
ising that makes people lose faith in
gs records.

Progress and Profit in Poultry a. T' 1 'a 49RSss as
or BIG YEAR
FOR POULTRY RAISERS

With Eow-prieed feeding stuGa for
most Of the year 1881 pouitrYmsn have
been able to make q prQht from oEEs
ana meat pouitry-whors hiEh-prioed
labor has been employed less proht
shows than In cases whore owners have
operated plants with home labor.
Wheat has been around 81 for some
time, and corn is obtainable at 50 oent8.
Oats, bran, niddlings. gluten, barley,
buclkwheat, kaf1lr corn and beef SCRAP
all have followed the downward price
trend, ana as a result cost Of production
Is now at q. low ebb, except where labor
Is employed
There is no likelihood Of an appre-
ciable rise in the price Of grains in-&he
rates also will lower the cost Of keeping
poultry, and since the production Of
eggs and poultry met is yearly further
from meeting normal demand, the proHt
possibilities are greater than they have
been for some years. There are, how
ever, many reasons why baby chicks
broilers and ready-to-lay pullets will
not be cheapened in production. Eggs
are not as low in price as in years pre-
ceding, therefore, there is no reason why
lessened cost Of production can take
place in the case of chicks. Labor is
not lowered; materials are almost aC
the same level as two years ago, and
machinery for production OF baby
chicks is still at a mean that prohibits
lowered costs in chick production.
When it is considered that chicks can
be purchased at a price as low as held
last year, and that cost Of keep will be
considerably less than for several years.
1t appears, to even the casual observer,
that home rearing of purchased chicks
will be very much lessened in cost this
year. Because Of this condition, and be-
cause of the small likelihood Of lessened
beef and other four-footed meat produc-
tion, it is highly probable hen products
Of all kinds will be in insistent de-
mand.
To order early, and in such quanti-
ties as will supply all needs. is impera-
tive this season, and this season is ex-
pected to begin early, early to avoid
delaying orders to supply about the big
gest demand ever experienced for BABY
chicks, incubators and brooders, and, Of
course, all accessories that go to make
a complete rearing plant.

SMALL GAIN IN EGG OUTPUT MADE BY 500
LAYERS IN INTERNATIONAL TEST
American Birds Lead at End of Eighth Week,
Show Great Strength

the last census, show a decline in pro-
duction per hen. The commercial egg
plant must (and undoubtedly dees)
produce IA eggs per bird average per
year.
The average has fallen, in some cases,
below 90, the long-established average
figure Per farm hen in this country.
Laying competition lessons must be
more thoroly learned by the average
farmer rather than the commercial poul-
tryman. As a rule, the commercial egg
producer needs little assistance. On the
other hand. the average farmer needs
a vast deal Of assistance, as does the
amateur, and herein lies the function
of able correspondence schools; those
equipped to teach egg getting rather
than feather and form making; just as
the preof Of selection and mating for
eggs is the function Of egg-laying COM
petitions, in that they point the way to
actual achievement where mating and
selection or selective mating have given
Definite results. Proof is abundant that
more than 90 eggs can be easily OBJ
tanned from the average hen and 200
eggs per hen in 1855 days are neither
lihlcult to obtain nor are zO0-egg birds
obscure by any means.
More commercial docks lay at the
average rate per bird OF 144 eggs than
lay below that figure and this must be
true because there have been few fail
lres Of commercial producers in
period Of ten years.
Little effort seems to be necessary
20 produce a flock that will average 100
eggs per year, and yet the average farm
IF, frequently in ignorance of require
nents of feeding and housing, is con-
ent with enough eggs in the spring for

Greater yields must come from farms

ssOrOtaIy laying Competitions

@N-=AFNN--~-~
A slight gain in esq production fol
the eighth week Of the Eleventh Phil
adolphia North American international
Egg Laying Competition was made BY
the 800 birds at Milford, Del, the total
output going up to $40 eggs against sos
in the seventh week.
This gain is due more to steady tenn
psratures than mRturity-the number Of
active birds has not increased over the
preceding week. rather. the inactive
birds are more active. However, in
creases from now on will depend large
iy upon inactive birds arriving at ma
turity-this will be the order Of in
creased production with all Of the
heavy birds because the average now
for the lighter classes IS above the aver
age for the heavier birds.
Pen q holds first place, altho it lost
to its follower in production for the
week, pen 80 gaining one egg. Pom 40
gees into third place with lead of
twelve eggs over fourth place holder.
Pen 40 may lay a surprising score. Molt-
ing decreased one-two birds resumed
laying and one was added to the list;
several birds are suspiciously near
molting and these may keep the list go
ing for some little time.
Bird in pen % leads in individual
scoring with 4s eggs for So days. fol-
lowed by bird in pen 40, Al eggs.
All of the English pens are going at
a steady gait and these will likely hold
on strongly until the finish next octo-
Der.
Twelve pens have laid more than 100
eggs so far and twenty-three birds have
laid SO or more eggs. inclusive of 4s laid
by high bird, since opening date, No
vember i, 1921. Only two birds laid per-
feet scores in the week.
Great stress is laid upon the imper
tance Of mating and selection thru the
trap-nest; the American hen in several
states does not show the Improvement
that must come about to make the hen
rs profitable and as much of a mort
gage litter as she was ten to thirty
years back. Some states, according to
