Specialized Egg
Farming Growing
Has Been Outstanding De-
velopment in Agriculture
Since the War.
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.D
Specialized egg farming has been an
outstanding development in American
agriculture since the war. 1t has be-
come an important factor in egg pro-
duction. Poultry had been one of the
nations largest but least organized
agricultural industries. Although nine
farmers out of ten kept poultry, few
paid attention to the individual hen.
Accordingly conditions were very ia
ivorable for specialized egg farming.
Eggs and poultry were relatively
higher in price than dairy products,
meat animals, and other farm COM
mOdities, and feed prices favored the
poultrymen.
Little Capital Needed.
I Another stimulus was the fact that
/ little capital was needed to get started
in the business, and returns were not
long delayed. The business accord
ingly had tremendous growth. Orig
inally developed in the vicinity Of
large cities to supply the local mar
kets, specialized egg farming in some
sections increased it's output beyond
the requirements of the nearby p0pu-
lation. Mainly through cooperative
effort, however, wider markets were
obtained. This resulted in the devel-
opment of specialized egg-farming
communities, which are located prin-
cipally on the Pacific coast.
Despite the rapid expansion of the
business, specialized egg farming re-
mains minor factor in the total pro-
duction of eggs in the United States.
Farm flocks still account for about 50
per cent of our annual egg crop.
Good Future Probable.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture believes, however, that
good future for specialized egg farm
ing is probable. Specialized poultry
men cannot expect to survive the
competition of the small farm flock if
they follow ordinary flock methods
and practices. Indications are, how
ever, that they understand the re-
quirements of their business better
than to do that. The more. successful
of them realize that the specialized
poultry industry must produce special
quality eggs and find market for
them at special prices. 1t must also
maintain not only high average an
nual egg production but a high pro-
duction in the season when the best
eggs are scarce.

CHAPTER III

Doris" said her father, why the
deuce don't you get married?"

"Not exactly" he answered, with a
twinkle in his eye. 81 just wondered"
Doris was dining en- famille. That
is to say with her papa, since, bar.
ring a few female cousins, he was all
the family she had. They dined to
gether, strictly together, at home.
every Saturday evening, from October
until May, unless, of course, one OF
both of them was in the South or
abroad. Ii was custom they had
adopted the year that Doris "came
out" for they found that otherwise
they scarcely met at all, so full and
busy were their lives.
To a quite uncommon degree, Doris
was her fathers child, and he was
famous for that quality to an extent
unequaled by any lawyer of his gen
Grafton.
Again, like her father, Doris was I'm
commonly good looking. To say the
least she could be contemplated en-
tirely without pain. She was an ex
celent example of that Nordic type
which, so the scientists tell us, is fast
disappearing from our North Ameri

was an absolute blond. Her eyes
were the color of Parma violets. Her
hair was bright and sunny, her figure
tall and slim, and the corners of her
mouth, as Barrie says, were full of
thimbles. Since her mothers death
six years before, she had lived alone
with her father in the big house on
the Avenue which had been built by
her grandfather when the railroad
kings were just beginning to ascend
their thrones.

"In the meantime" pursued her
parent, I'VE haven't got any neighbors.

Hay Costs. Are Cut by
Use of Windrow Method

Field crops specialists of the Min
nesota experiment station have pre-
pared bulletin on "Hay Making in
Minnesota" containing suggestions Of
use to the farmer as the haying sea-
son draws near. This bulletin says
that the curing of hay in windrows
reduces curing costs.
To make the proper kind of wind
row, however, is important, and for
this the specialists advise the use of
the side-delivery rake with curved
teeth. This rake makes a windrOw
which hastens the curing process with
little loss of leaves and little bleach
ing. The hay is not raked until the
leaves are wilted after cutting

Dairy Cow Needs

The dairy cow requires fuel (feeds),

her working parts. And this is not all,
