Fatten Broilers Before
Sending Them to Market

Profitable gains usually Will be
made by broilers that are fattened for
period of two weeks before they are
sold However, one should not expect
TO fatten broilers for longer than u
Two weeks period, as the gains Will
nor be rapid and profits are likely to
disappear. cockerels should be sept
rated from the puIlets and confined 70
small yard. A roostins Sled should
be provided for the fattening birds.
A satisfactory mash mixture for fat
tenlng broilers is one composed OF two
paris of ccrnmeal and one part wheat
middllngs. This should be mixed with
milk and fed for fifteen to twenty
minute periods three times daily. \
liberal feeding of cracked corn should
be given late in the afternoon. II
liquid milk is available, it can he
kept before the birds during the fat
tenlng period and no water need be
given. Plenty of water should be pro
eided If no milk is fed

DOUBT ~

REMOVE BOOSTERS
FROM HEN FLOCKS

Now that the Matching season Is
over and fertile eggs are no longer
needed, every poultryman should re-
move all of the male birds from lis
flock. For, says C. S. Plat, assistant
poultry husbandman at the New
Jersey experiment station, the pr9duc-
ton of fertile eggs for market pnr-
poses is never desirable, though it can
not be avoided during the hatchins
season.
On many farms there is desire 10
keep over some of the better cockerels
and the temptation is to allow these
to remain in the flock. The number
retained, however, should be reduced
to minimum by careful selection.
When this is done The few that are
ke!t should be segregated. 1t must
be remembered that new crop of
cockerels will be reared during the
coming season and good, vigorous
cockerels are usually better than older
birds anyway.
The exception exists on those farms
practicing pedigree mating. Where
this is done it is absolutely necessary
to keep over all of the male birds nm
til one knows what their daughters
nave done. A proved male is prac-
ticalIy priceless and as one canno'
determine in advance exactly what
his daughters will do it becomes nee
essary to keep the birds over until
they have had chance to show their
ability.
Male birds that are kept should be
given plenty of sunshine, green food,
and yellow corn. They will not need
much animal protein. A free range
and whole yellow corn fed twice daily
will take care of tlielr needs until the
nest breeding season. II kept con-
fined, cod-HXIr oil should he provided
in addition to the corn and green
food One per cent in the grain wonld
provide sufficient oil. Under confined
conditions 1t will also be necessary
10 be on the watch for lice and mites
all OF the time. These can be Kept
under control by painting the foosts
with carbolineum product and by
busting the birds with sodium iluoride.

Slow-Feathering Chicks
Common in Some Breeds

"Slow feathering or naked chicks
are quite common in general purpose
breeds aud sometimes occur in the
lighter breeds" says Prof. G. ". Car
rick Purdue university. "Such chicks
are usually those that lack the yigor
necessary to grow rapidly but chicks
may also become stusted from iu-
proper feed, chilling, or crowded con
ditlons during the first few weeks Of
their lives. "Whatever the cause may
be. little can be done to make sucir
chickens profitable. If pullets they
lay poorly and are likely to he suscep-
tible to disease. They ahould he
marked with leg bands when i've Or
six weeks old, and marketed lis soon
as they reach sufficient size Other
wise they may feather out slowly and
be kept in the dock to produce SINH
lar chicks next season
BY constantly eulllng out these low
vitality chicks, one can practically
eliminate them in the future offspring

Marrs To Seek

a new trial in the case of r. b.
Marrs against the .:ank of Italy
National Trust and Savings associat-
ion, a corporation, Earle G. Davis
and r. Y. Watson was filed at the
county clerk s office this morning
by attorneys for the plaintiff. The
motion will be made in the superior
court before Judge j. S. Larew on
Friday, February 3.
The plaintiff in his suit sought
to collect damages for alleged mali
cious prosecution on the part of
the defendants. A Jury returned a
verdict in the case in favor of the
defendants, granting the plaintiff
nothing by reason of his action.
The motion for new trial will
be based on the grounds that there
was an insufficiency of evidence to
justify the verdict; that the ver-
dict and decision were against law
and that errors in law occurred dur
ing the trial to which exceptions
were entered by the plaintiff.
Ernest Utley, Lee Nuffer and
