Poultry Facts
y 4 III orp poops

Lameness is one of the first symp-
toms Of tuberculosis in poultry.
Plan on sufficient broodng space
and equipment, all you have room for.
Figure how many chicks you can
brood and then write several hatch
cries and decide where you want to
order, and then order early.
There are six steps in raising
healthy chicks from Matching to ma
turity. They are clean chicks, clean
houses, clean litter, clean feed, clean
management and clean ground or
close confinement.
1t Is necessary to have the brOoder
large enough-and it is better to have
it too large than to take chances on
overcrowding.
Milk has been found to be the best
single source OF animal protein for
laying hens, it being easily digested
and rich in protein and minerals.
If you are sending away for baby
chicks have the brooder all ready for
them, warm and comfortable, and
clean. They get chilled If they have
to wait while you make up the bed"
Duck eggs are successfully Matched
in incubators, but geese eggs are not.
Geese will lay about three dozen eggs
per year.
The highest egg production has been
secured by using milk with some form
of meat, such as fresh meat, tankage,
or meat scraps.
Some farmers feel that the birds
will gather sufficient insects while on
the range to make up for the lack of
protein in the ration, but tests do not
bear out this belief.

is sunburn eolored felt, covered with
lace Which is stretched that smoothly
the effect is almost like an embossed
patterning. Miss Philbin wears this
jacket and hat with a simple black
satin frock A very good idea this |
1t is a suggestion worth keeping in
mind, for even the most unpretentious
frock becomes distingue in company
with such an enchanting lace ensem
Bile as this.
A lace dress of many parts Is an.
other worthwhile suggestion which
fashion offers this season. This in
cludes a froek with detachable long
sleeves with either q matching jacket
or three-quarter-length wrap. The
wearableness of such a frock is at
once recognized, as it can be tuned to
both evening and afternoon occasion.
Color gives TO the lace frock an
emphasized interest. A gown of bright
red lace, or in the so-popular char
treuse green or in bright independence
blue is indeed good to look upon, and
the modern lace frock is in just such
enchanting colors.

PZ\\IL Try
BROOD CHICKS
BY ELECTRICITY
Easier to Run Than Those
Heated by Coal or Oil.

Electric breeders are excellent for
hrooding chicks when the weather is
mild. In New York state they may
usually be used satisfactorily after
April Is, or at any time in a room
that does not depend entirely on the
brooder for its heat says Prof. L.
E. Weaver of the poultry department
at Cornell university, Ithaca, N. !.
In answer to the question-ean
chicks be satisfactorily and eeonom-
ieally brooded with electricity ?-Pro-
fessor Weaver says, the answer is
yes, but with reservations
Electric breeders are far more
simple to run than are coal or oil
breeders When once regulated there
is almost no more work or worry with
them. But they must be in room
that is at least moderately warm, for
the electric brooder confines the heat
almost entirely to the space under it.
It does not warm the room as is the
case with coal or oil breeders. The
chicks will not do we'll if the room is
cold. and the cost of heating Just the
brooder alone gets too high even with
low rate for the current under such
conditions.
I'm purchasing an electric brooder
one should be sure that it is provided
with a positive heat regulator, that
it is we'll insulated to prevent unnee-
essary loss of heat, and that provision
is made for ample ventilation.
Electric breeders are of two types,
those with curtain and those with
out The curtain type requires less
current but is apt 10 be poorly VEN
tilated or not ventilated at all. The
curtainless type with good ventilat-
ing arrangement is probably the most
desirable" says Professor Weaver.

Red and White Holsteins
Are Not Very Desirable

Occasionally the offspring of pure
bred Holstein bull may be red and
even when the dams are likewise pure
bred animals of the same breed. When
this happens it shows the cows also
carry the red color, but 1t Is not seen
until mated with bull that also car
ried it, then about half the calves
will be red and white in place of black
and white. Red and white Holsteins
are not accepted for registry but are
Just as good for ordinary use.

DAIRY
FACTS
CARE FOR COWS
AFTER CALMING
Because of Her Low Vitality
Good Treatment Needed.

The care of the COW after calving
depends upon a variety of things. Her
vitality is low following parturition
and she should be treated according
~. She should be protected from cold
drafts and in cold weather her water
should be warmed for two or three
days or at least she should not be
compelled to drink very cold water.
For the first few days the ration
should be light in character and not
very abundant. A bran mash made
by moistening bran with warm water
is we'll adapted for the grain portion
with which may be fed sueh hay as
the COW will consume. Ii the ndder
is swollen and hard, the graf Fation
should be increased very slowly, pos
sibly using two weeks before attempt
ing to get the COW on full feed. With
heavy mixers it may be well to post
pone this even longer. No alarm need
be felt If the udder remains intlamed
and hard for a number of days, pro-
each quarter 1t is recommended that
if the COW is good mixer she should
be MIXED at least three times daily
or oftener until the Inflammation
leaves the udder.
1t is preferable TO allow the calf
to suck for at least the first twenty
four hours and some allow them to
suck for even longer period than
this. With high producing cows Ii
able to have milk fever, it is quite a
common practice to milk out little
milk several times a day until dam
ger from this trouble is past. This
may be continued for two or three
days or until such time as may seem
necessary with the individual COW. 1t
is believed advantageous to leave
enough milk in the udder to cause
considerable pressure during the dan
gerous period and for this reason only
sufficient milk is drawn to relieve the

When to Market Ducks
to Make Most Money

Green ducks at eight weeks of age
should weigh pounds to the pair,
and at ten weeks ought to reach 10
to II pounds. They command best
prices about the first of May, and
from then on until July the price
gradually drops. From July to Sep
TENDER prices remain unchanged, but
by September to November they are
up again.
The general laying season starts
about February and continues until
the last of August. The first eggs of
the season are rarely fertile. Fer
tility and vitality are the keynotes of
success in Guck culture.
One way to make money out Of
ducks is to be ready with a good sup
ply at the opening of the season,
writes Michael X. Boyer in the Farm
and Ranch. Another important item
is the value of the manure, that of
duck ranking second to hog for grow
ing vegetables.
The trade for ducks Is largely
found in the restaurants and noun
tain and shore resorts, where they
are served in quarters-the carcass
being cut into four pieces Conse-
quently, duck weighing or 8
pounds, served in that way, will COM
mand just as much money as one
weighing 2 pounds more
In all large cities, where there is a
large Jewish population, live ducks
are in demand. In Chinese sections
there is also a heavy call for this
favorte fowl.

extreme pressure.
After the first two or three days the
frequency of milking will depend very
largely upon the ability of the COW to
produce milk. As 4 general rule, It is
advisable when a COW produces 90
pounds or more day to milk her
more than twice daily. For lower pro
ducing cows ii is of doubtful advan-
tage to milk oftener than this, at least
so far as profit in milk production is
concerned. 1t is estimated that milk
ing cows three times a day instead of
twice will increase the production by
u to is per cent, particularly with
the better producing animals.

does the average man pay? To ans
wer this, one must define the aver
age man, at least as far as his tax
paying activities are concerned.
The income tax was not levied at
all in the earlier period. 1t is new
source of income and it does not
affect the average man at all. AS
was said in debate in Wilmington
few weeks ago, IS per cent of the
people in the United States are poor.
In Delaware SS per cent of the peo-
pie making income tax returns
Chose having taxable incomes of
$4,000 or less) paid $23,721 of the
81, 648, 32099 or about 80 cents each;
the great majority paid nothing at
all. To find the amount of taxes
paid by the average man, $23,721
should be inserted instead of $1,648,-
320.39.
Another important source of reve-
nue. is the inheritance tax. The av-
erage man does not pay any inherit
ance tax at all. The amount he be-
queaths or receives is so small that
none of it is taken by the state.
When all these changes are made,
the results are comparable and one
can see the amounts of taxes paid
by the average man. The results are
as follows:
