Provide Shade for Hens
During Hot Summer Day:

The poultry industry is being devel-
oped in many sections where there is
very little natural shade Summers
are long and hot and poultry is GER
tain TO suffer unless adequate shade
is provided. To overcome the absence
of trees in the poultry yards, some
plant castor beans. which grow rapidly
and produce large leaves, thus pro-
vidjng shade for the chickens which
they so thoroughly enjoy during the
hot hours of summer days Others
erect low Sheds or provide shade by
stretching gunny sacks and blankets
over frames constructed for that pua
pose.
Poultry should be provided both
shade and plenty Of clean fresh water.
IT is not only hunare act. but will
pay in increased egg yield and more
rapid development Of young birds.

Feed More Meat Scraps
and Sour Milk to Hens

The use of more meat scraps and
sour milk in the rations for the farm
flock will help to keep up the egg pro-
duction through the hottest season OF
August and early September. The
laying hens diet to be full of all the
necessary material should consist of
grain, mash, animal feed, mineral
feed, and water. The grain Is usually
taken care of, as is the water supply.
The difference which a mash can
make in the laying is surprising, when
the mash contains besides grain an
abundance of milk and meat scrap
material. These two foods supply the
animal matter, while cracked oyster
shells or grit furnish the mineral mat
ter. Green food Is essential, and II
the flock does not have range green
grass or weeds are specially good for
layers during the hot weather.

Demand for Guineas Is
Increasing in the East

Wild game, such as partridge, quail
and pheasant, are becoming scarce In
many localities Besides. most states
have laws which prohibit the sale OF
game birds as a measure to discour-
age hunters from killing more than
they and their friends can convenient
ly use. There is, however, a good
substitute for game birds and 1T Is
found in the guinea. The guinea is
more than half wild anyway and has
many Of the characteristics of game
birds found in the woods and fields.
The demand from hotels and clubs Is
increasing. This is particularly true
in the East and the taste for this bird
is growing in the Middle West.
When well cooked, guineas are at
tractive in appearance, although dark
er than common fowls, and the flesh
of young birds is tender and of espe-
cially fine flavor, resembling that OF
wild game. Like all other fowl, old
gulneas are very likely to be tough
and rather dry.

PLAN TO PICK OUT
GOOD LAYING HENS

'If you were going bird hunting
you wouldn't take a hound. Starting
a dairy, you wouldn't buy beef cattle
Or If you wanted to go into horse rae
ing it would not be desirable to get a
Shetland pony. Yet many people seem
to think that chick is q chicken, re.
CARELESS of its individual qualities and
purposes"
While some varieties of chickens
are better layers than others, yet indi-
yidual selection will greatly increase
the laying qualities Of any variety.
H. b. Lansden, Of the Florida Agri-
cultural college, says: when a bird
has laid through one season, you can
Judge some of her performance quail
ties by color Of her legs and condition
of beak and plumage." The explana-
ton continues: Select a hen that has
large space for manufacturing and
carrying eggs, and you get one that
will produce more eggs than another
with less carrying space, even though
of the same variety.
1T is no trouble to detect which
has the greater ability to perform by
examining the body outlines. The body
should be wide and deep and we'll
proportional, the back broad and
rather fiat, the breast bone rather
short, rocker-shaped and sharp, not
round and plump as in a quail.
"The comb and waffle indicate the
condition of the reproductive organs.
hen with a healthy, well-developed
reproductive organ, has large full
comb and waffle, with full circulation
indicated by warmth and softness of
texture. The hen with a small, crowd
ed or diseased organ has SMALL
shriveled, scaly, cold and coarse comb
and waffle. The distance between
pelvic bones and the pliability of the
skin and abdomen indicate the pres
ent performing condition Of the hen
and not her ability to lay"

Bic Mortality Of Chicks

Poor methods Of feeding ami brood
ing are the chief reasons given for
the heavy mortality of chicks. In the
state of Iowa, it is said, nearly one
bali of the chicks Matched on farms
are never raised to maturity. Iowa
farmers are probably no more care
less in their methods Of handling
chicks than farmers in other states
This IS warning 30 the poultryman
who neglects to use weii-balanced RAJ
tions in feeding his chicks, and watch
the temperature Of the brooder.
