Ventilation of Poultry
Ii House Is Big Problem

The ventilation of the poultry house
Is much discussed problem and many
times local conditions are responsible
for troubles. Sometimes the location
of the house is such as to interfere
with the usual results. However. Ii
the walls of the house became damp
last. year 1t is an indication of too
little fresh air. There are two meth
DDS Of ventilation which are quite
common. One is the use of muslin
frames which may be closed at night
and opened during the day. In houses
IA to 16 feet deep one should have
one square foot of cloth frames for
every foot the house is long. Deeper
houses require more while narrow
houses require less. Even with muslin
frames one must not be persuaded TO
close them too tightly as this may re.
suit In too little ventilation at night
Their use requires discretion as does
any other plan for ventilation.

EARLIEST MATCHED
CHICKS ARE BEST
Experiment Shows the April
Pullets Produce Good EGGS.

Reports from poultrymen in Colo
RADIO show that the tendency to earlier
Matching is gaining a foothold among
successful breeders. Early-hatched
chicks Nuke better winter layers. they
have found, and the rapid develop
ment In the early-hatehed chick re-
suits In more economical production
! of br0iiers.
The cold weather of this season of
the year seems to give much greater
development in short period of time,
While those that are hatehed late and
grow during the warm weather are
slower in 4eir development. Cold
weather seems to retard the sexual
development, thus holding back egg
production until warmer weather. ac-
cording to observations of Charles n.
Keen of the poultry department at the
Colorado Agricultural college.
II pullets are raised from late
Matched eggs and pushed for produc-
tion, they attain a sexual maturity
tNt z Sht buuH Is u.
Then the first eggs produced will be
small and continue SO until body ma.
turity Is completed.
In the case of light breeds, such as
Leghorns and Anconas, these small
birds which have been forced break
down under heavy production and 20
into winter neck mott and often
full mott. With the larger breeds
there may be less of this trouble with
the late.hatched birds, but they are
harder TO force into laying. 1t takes
approximately five months to mature
a Leghorn or Ancona pullet and ap-
proximnteIy seven months to mature
Rhode Island Reds. Rocks, Wyan.
dottes and other birds of the larger
breeds. They should be laying not
later than November / and not ear
lier than September for best results.

Mash Essential Part
of Ration for LAYERS

Inc mash is an essential part of
the hens diet. for she cannot make
eggs economically from grains alone
In the mash should be included some
OF the common by-products such as
wheat bran, middlings and gluten feed
Ihese feeds are palatable and furnish
relatively cheap vegetable protein.
Inc hen must be supplied with
enough animal protein either included
IN the mash or fed in addition TO if
Some of the more common home sup
plies of animal protein may consist of
Skim milk, buttermilk or some form of
waste meat and, in the summer. in.
scots that the hen can find on the
range,
Repeated tests at the Wisconsin and
other experiment stations have shown
that hens cannot find the necessary
amount of animal protein on the range
to make profitable egg production DOS.
sible- Even in the summer unless the
hens have all the milk they can drink
1t will pay to have some additional
animal protein in the mash. In the
winter the hen will not drink enough
milk to supply her needs and some ad
ditlon should be made.
