prey on the intestinal tract Of
chickens play large part In pro-
ducing weakly pullets. These para
sites, In the egg form, thrive in moist
and shady places. Chickens must
therefore be kept from contact with
moist earth. Parasites lying In dry,
dusty yards soon perish as the sun
robs them Of their vitality. Protect
the pullets with a dry range.
Slower growth, more exercise, more
muscle growing food. greater freedom
from disease, open range with plenty
of fresh air, and an abundance Of
green feed may combine to produce
the pullet that will stand 30 per cent
production. II is not impossible.
Breeding may have to be improved be-
fore pullets are perfect, but the COM
mercial egg producer can only take
care Of his pullets after he gets them,"
says Mr.. Buchanan, In conclusion.

High Production
Demand Rearing
OF Ideal Pulets

Chickens, generation ago, were
bred TO lay at the rate of 40 to SO per
cent, while today they are bred to
lay at 60 to 70 per cent rate. Yet,
the building of these high producing
pullets has improved very little, and
the result is that many of them go to
pieces via the blow out route" says
w. d. Buchanan, extension poultry
man, Washington State College.
This loss can only be remedied by
the growing Of harder and tougher
fleshed pullets instead of the soft
fleshed birds which are being turned
out today by confinement brooding,
hopper feeding without exercise, small
Vashon Island news-record. [volume] (Vashon, Wash.) 1919-1954, 1931-05-14

yards, wire covered yards and floors,
limited range or no range at all, and
rapid growing rations. Each Of these
factors tends toward softness which
will break under high production.
IAN important step to combat this
soft and premature development has
been taken by the State College ex-
pertinent station In recommending a
growing ration which has Is per cent
less animal protein than used last
year. This will have tendency to
slow growth. More oats have been
added to the ration to grow larger and
better muscled birds, and the hopper
feeding of grain is recommended TO
induce the chickens to eat less mash
Even though chickens are hopper
fed they should not be robbed of the
old fashioned exercise of hunting
food" continued Mr.. Buchanan. They
must have big scratching floor
covered with deep, clean litter, and 1t
may be necessary to scatter a few
handfuls Of grain daily to get the
birds to exercise. If pullets are con-
fined to small yard or house, It is
imperative that they be litter fed II
they are to stand up under high pro-
duction.
THE ideal method of building up
the desired vigor is to keep the chicks
and pullets scratching in a clean, deep
litter until they are eight or 10 weeks
old. They should then be moved to a
large, clean range with plenty Of green
feed, some bugs to induce exercise, and
little shade to rest in. AS pullets do
not exercise much in the heat of the
day, the shady places should be cover

feed hoppers, and drinking fountains
should be placed on these wire plat

Long Flat Swing Prevents
Danger of Topping

THE golfer who attempts a com
1 plete round swing with his Iron
will find himself topping or schlafIing
ten or fifteen per cent Of his shots
maybe more. One must be accurate
indeed to hit the ball at the exact
bottom Of the arc.
There Is one sure way Of hitting
an iron shot. Let the club describe
a fiat arc which makes sure OF the
clubhead picking the ball up as 1t
sweeps through. Longer and more
accurate shots will result from this
sweep of the club than II the round
full swing Is used.
