Trap Nest Is Accurate
Test Of Hens ABILITY

The trap nest is the most accurate
test of hens ability to lay eggs, but
It is not practicable for those who live
on farms, with all the other work they
must do. Therefore, poultry specialists
have been studying the general char
acteristics Of laying hens, so that we
might have a set Of almost exact rules
1t has been proven over and over that
these rules work correctly and no farm
woman need longer feed hens that will
not pay for their feed bill and give a
profit. We must also remember that
these lazy hens, which have been loaf
ing all summer, fall and winter, will
be laying their few eggs next spring
at Matching time, and if their eggs are
set, we will have another flock of
loafers ~f1z
The hens that begin to mott in July
should be sent to market. There is one
exception to this, the hen that has
Matched and brooded a flock of chicks,
for she will usually go through a par
tial mott before she begins laying
again. August Is and September Is
is the best time to Gull, but it will pay
to go over your flock from time to
time through the summer and Gull out.
Sell those that have stopped laying.
There are usually number Of hens in
every flock whose general appearance
indicates they have low vitality, little
vigor and will never be profitable egg
producers. A great percentage of these
low Vitality birds are late Matched pull
lets of the previous season.

for Square Deal.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
# you are one of the many who be-
lieve that the long, slim, heavy hen
eggs are the ones which hatch out
the male chicks, and that the smaller
eggs are the ones which give birth
to the future layers of the flock, you
need to revise your opinion on the
matter, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. You may
as well leave your tape measure,
scales, calipers, and other units at
home when you go forth to purchase
setting of eggs" from your poultry
breeder, and rely solely on Mother
Nature to give you fifty-fifty deal In
the matter of sex.
Can't Determine Sex
In answer to the continuous stream
of inquiries pouring into the depart
ment office relative to determining the
sex of the chick in the shell by the
size, shape, or weight of the egg, the
department says sit just isn't being
done" That is, not in a practical way,
at least. The scientist Is able to
Identify the sex of a chick in the
shell after seven or eight days of in
cubatiun, however.
Because of the important bearing
on the practical aspects of the poultry
industry which the ability to select
Matching eggs according to the sex de-
sired Would have, if such were pos
sible, number of Investigators have
made studies concerning the sex-ratio
situation in the domestic fowl. Re-
Gently DR.. M. A. JUL, poultry husband
man of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, completed some
observations In which he concludes
that there is no correlation between
the length, shape, or weight of the
egg and the sex of the chick Matched
from it. He has also made studies
to determine whether or not there is
correlation between the weight of
the egg yolk and the sex Of the chick,
or between the yolk water-content and
sex ratio, with the same negative re-
suit.
Number Of Eggs Counts.
1t has been determined, however,
says Doctor JUL, that the greater the
number of eggs which hen lays be-
fore being put into the breeding pen,
the larger will be the proportion of
females and the smaller the proper
ton Of males produced by her eggs.
The practical poutryman may be able
to take advantage Of this fact to some
extent by making his selection of eggs
for Matching with reference to the
hens period of production. N

SPRAYING REDUCES
CABBAGE WORM HARM

Although the fitting white butter

during the warm summer days appears
harmless it, nevertheless, has dan

The serious losses which are fire.
sluently caused in cabbage and cauli-
Clover by the cabbage worm, can be

Oage and cauliflower heads from which
the worms hatch These losses can
be entirely prevented by proper spray
ing of the plants with some arsenical
poison as lead arsenate says @. l..
Fluke, entomologist at the Wisconsin
College of Agriculture.
Plan Thorough Attack.
The first spraying should be done
when the worms first appear Never
wait until the cabbage is seriously in
3ured. The spray must be repeated as
often as is necessary to cover new
deaf growth and TO poison worms from
later matches. Eggs for the second
matching are usually laid early in July
and for the third early in August. The
eggs hatch in from four days to a
week. Some kind of material must be
ased with the liquid spray to insure
sticking. Common yellow laundry soap
is satisfactory for 1t adds the quality
necessary to prevent the spray from
rolling from the smooth leaves.
Fluke urges that the spray be ap-
piled in the form Of fine mist so as
10 coat the foliage thoroughly with
poison. 1t is also important to keep
the spray material well stirred and
well mixed, SO that 1t does not settle
to the bottom Of the tank Less
trouble will be experienced with
clogged nozzles If the spray materials
are strained before being placed in
the sprayer.
Liquid Spray Best.
A liquid spray of calcium or lead
arsenate seems to give the best re
suits In Wisconsin, Fluke reports
These are used at the rate of one

70 maturity that they mdy fill the egg
basket when the market is good early
in the fall. Early Matched chicks
need to be grown more slowly so that
they will not mature too early and
begin laying early in the fall with the
possibilities of a fall mott, which will
spoil their chances Of adding to the
income of the farm during the fall
months.
Lampman reports that the growing
chicks at the college are being fed on
range quite similar to the manner in
which they were fed when small. The
mash mixture is composed of 80
pounds ground yellow corn, 20 pounds
wheat middlings, pounds oil meal,
5 pounds pearl grit, 5 pounds poultry
bone and l pound salt, and Is fed in
hoppers. The chicks are given milk
only twice each week and are not fed
scratch grains in the morning. By
eliminating this morning feed Of
whole grains 1t is hoped that the pull
lets will range more and eat more
green stuff, Lampman declares.
Another important feature Of the
range care of pullets which Lampman
emphasizes is that of getting the pull
let's out early in the morning. If the
doors of the brooder house are closed
at night to guard against the entrance
Of skunks, weasles or dogs, the chicks
may be gotten out by a srnall side
door, elevated several feet from the
ground The animals cannot gain en-
trance from the outside while through
the aid of small platform the chicks
can easily get out.

pullets may have plenty Of room as
they grow the cockerels are separated
from them as soon as the sex can be
told The cockerels to be sold as
broilers are fattened and disposed Of
as soon as possible or are caponized
and kept for the February market.
The cOckerels which are to be kept
as breeding males are run on sepa-
rate range, where they will have no
distractions.
1t is very important that the pullets
have plenty of roosting room in the
brooder house and that the air circu-
late freely through the house. By
placing small roosts in the house when
the puliets are still quite young, this
roosting problem can be solved. The
pullets will then take to the roosts
and it is only a question of removing
enough Of the pullets to another house
so that those remaining are not
crowded.
Supply Adequate Range.
Diseases such as coccidiosis come
through the lack of adequate range.
An extended range, with plenty Of
greenstuff, is one Of the first require
ments for successful growth of pull
lets. Disease is not easily transmitted
where the range area is large.
Greenstuff aids in the production of
sturdy, healthy pullets, Good poultry
men supply plenty of it.
With house room and range sup
oiled, the matter of cleanliness is one
of utmost consideration AS all poul-
try diseases are aided by filth, the
more care is exercised in keeping clean

Alfalfa Is not only a soil enricher

Preventing T ail-Light Theft

I. In some localities the theft Of
tail-lamp bulbs is prevalent. As it
is such simple matter to remove the
bulb from a tail lamp, the mere push
ing in of the thin celluloid window in
the side of the lamp giving access to
the bulb, motorists will appreciate
an equally simple, remedy, especially
where police regulations are strictly
enforced, as the absence OF tail
light may mean a fine. In place Of
the fimsy celluloid, cut a section of
strong open-mesh wire to the same
size, and slip it into place; it may be
soldered if desired, but if it is fitted
tightly, this is not necessary. With
this in place, the bulb can only be re-
moved by taking out the red glass,
and as the split-wire ring holding this
in place is not usually easily taken
out, the average sneak thief will trans
fer his attention to some other car.

which was added a piece, of gum ara

enough aluminium bronze was, added
