Foundation of Quality
Essential for Success

"a solid foundation of quality goods
combined with economical production
is essential to the success Of any type
of marketing of poultry or its prod
ucts," says ]. B. Hayes, poultry spe-
cialist at the University of Wisconsin
'If one is unable to produce at a cost
lower than the selling price, the ven
ture, whatever it may be, is destined
to ultimate failure" he declares.
"yolume Of production and cost OF
production are inseparable," Hayes
maintains. increase in cost always &C.
companies slump in production. For
economical production, it is necessary
that volume of production be main
tanned. Special emphasis has been
placed on the feeding Of mash for this
purpose" Hayes gives, as an exam
pie of this, the case of the Portage
county farmer, who had been feeding
his flock without mash. The last week
in August they produced 1S9 eggs. He
then added mash to the ration and
raised his production to 207 eggs a
week, and this at time Of the year
when a drop in production is to be
expected. A record was kept of the
total feed cost and the return from
the eggs was almost exactly double
the feed cost. One-third of the flock
was then removed by culling and
there was further reduction in feed
cost accompanied by corresponding
increase in returns above the cost OF
feed."E

of treatment, often become badly dis
torted, making it difficult for the
fowl to walk or get up to the perch.
Application of crude petroleum to the.
leg, either by dipping or with G brush,
Is a very effective remedy.
Chiggers (hsrvest mites) sometimes
attack poultry, especially young chick
ems, In some cases causing serious
injury. Occasional light busting Of
chickens with flowers. Of sulphur Is
effective In keeping chiggers off the
birds. When chickens do become In
tested, the chiggers may be killed
by the application Of sulphur ointment
or kerosene and lard. If extensive
suppuration has taken place, remove
the scab and wash with a A per cent
carbolic-acid solution.
Sodium FIuorlde Useful.
Sodium fiuoride may also be used as
dip-three-fourths to one ounce of
the chemical to the gallon of water.
For treatment of large flocks this is
the most economical and expeditions
method.
Although a dust bath may add to
the comfort of the chickens, 1t cannot
be depended on for louise and mite
control. Some fowls seldom dust
themselves, and those which dust
freely never rid themselves Of the
pests completely. 1t Is far better
| to use methods which will accomplish

Big Drawback to Success
With Poultry Is Presence
of Parasites.

prepared by the United states Department
of Agriculture)
One of the most important him
drances~to successful poultry keeping
Is the external parasites infesting
poultry and poultry houses. Where
present in any considerable numbers
these parasites reduce egg produc-
ton, lower the quality of the flesh,
and retard the growth of all classes
of poultry.
The presence of mites in the chick
en- house in indicated by small areas
on the boards specked with black and
white as though busted with salt
and pepper. This is the excrement
of the mites, which. during the day,
are hidden In cracks or crevices OF
the roosts and walls of the house.
but which come out at night and get
upon the fowls. Except in the case Of
sitting hens, the common chicken mite
does not ordinarily attack poultry
during the day.
Means of Eradication.
The mites may be eradicated by a
few thorough applications of kerosene
or some of the coal-tar products sold
for this purpose, or crude petroleum,
| to the interior of the poultry house,
| including the floor. The commercial
! coal-tar products are more expensive,
| but retain their killing power longer
| than the crude petroleum or kerosene.
/ OF these, commercial carbolineum In
| particular has proved very effective.
The cost of treatment with the coal
tar products may be lessened by add
| ing thereto an equal quantity of kero-
sene. Both crude petroleum and
carbolineum will spray better If
thinned with one part kerosene to
three parts of the other materials. 1t
| is well to strain both the crude pc
4 troleum and coaf-tar products to re-
move foreign particles. Care must be
| taken to see that the spray reaches
| all the cracks and crevices, giving spe
cial attention to the roosts, dropping
boards, and nests. Repeat the treat
ment two or three times at intervals
| of week or ten days.
The feather mite is similar In ap-
pearance to the common red or gray
chicken mite, but unlike that parasite
remains on the fowls continuously, the
eggs being deposited and Matching
among the feathers, where the young
mites may complete their growth
Their entire development is accom-
plished without leaving the bird. They
ere most numerous below the vent
about the tail, and sometimes on the
neck. An effective remedy for this
mite consists in dipping affected birds
in solution composed as follows
Flowers of sulphur. 90 ounces
The feathers should be thoroughly
wet to the skin, and the head sub
merged for only an instant. During
cold weather it Is advisable TO dus
the fowls with flowers of sulphur in
stead of dipping, the feathers being
raised so as to insure getting the
sulphur to the skin.
Another Harmful Parasite.
Another very harmful parasite I:
the scaly-leg mite that usually remains
on the feet, which, in the absence

larly as part of the ration If best re-
suits are desired from the flock. While
it is truly essential part of the feed,
this does not mean that no eggs will
be laid without 1t.

Keep Sows Out of Wallow

1t is a safe practice to keep brood
sows away from hog wallows for at
least month before they are due to
farrow. Sows frequently become stiff
and lame as result of being in wal
lows. Shade and plenty of drinking
water should be provided and when
this is done there is no need of the
wallow. Many good hog raisers con-
slider wallows very Objectionable for
brood sows.

Feed Hens Often

Hens that lay a maximum number
Of eggs must necessarily consume a
large amount of good, balanced ra-
ton. To keep feed continually in the
digestive system, the hen must eat
frequently. Keeping the hens close
to the feed hopper will make them eat
more. More eggs for longer period
will result.
