WINTER SUNSHINE
GOOD FOR POULTRY
Ultraviolet Rays Needed
by Flock.

So much evidence has been accum-
ulated about the value of winter sun
shine in egg production that it cannot
be ignored by poultry raisers who
want to get profitable results.
1t has been shown that ultraviolet
rays are a powerful factor in increas-
ing egg production. hatchability and
fertility, as well as in maintaining
healthful conditions.
Ultraviolet rays promote bone and
body growth, and building vitamin ID.
During the winter months, when poul-
try is confined, ordinary glass and
sOiled cloth curtains bar them out and
some means must be employed to
make them available.
You need good housing and good
management to get best results. Pub
lished data by such representative
bodies as Wisconsin experiment sta
ton, University of Arkansas; Ohio
experiment station and others have
shown the effect Of ultraviolet rays
during the winter months. Records at
egg-laying contests (notably the Vine
land egg-laying contesD also give
practical proof Of the reproducing
value of ultraviolet rays.
Poultry needs winter sunshine.
Layers must get ultraviolet radiation
or its equivalent. This is also true of
chicks. The wise poultry raiser will
make sure his house is properly con-
structed this winter and next spring.

a palmer dressing is desired sweet

Chicken Chow.

Dat bulls are not harmful to chicks
If ground fine enough.
Among the incurable poultry dis
eases are chronic cOccidiosis, tuber-
culosis, bacillary white diarrhea, fowl
cholera, fowl typhoid and blackhead
Serious cases of chicken pox and roup

The poultryman's biggest asset
right now is the flock of new pullets
that are being developed for next win
ter's laying flock, and whatever he can
do to protect that flock so these birds
will continue to lay, worth real money
to him.
Culling a flock is one of the impor-
tant things which is most commonly
neglected. There is also neglect to
procure and keep pure-bred chickens.
vermin are commonly found in poul-
try houses.
Several poultry diseases are quite
similar in many external symptoms.
One or two additional symptoms

the accuracy Of the superficial diagno-
sis Post mortems prove the super
fetal diagnosis and therein lies ex-
perienee.
Either whole oats or hulled oats
may be used in grain ration that is
fed to chickens. However, hulled
oats makes q better feed because a
large part of the fiber is removed and
the birds will, therefore, get bigger
percentage o. grain.
Keep records of the number Of eggs
received each day and how they are
DISPOSED of. An account book will tell
where the money goes and where the
money comes from and will enable one
to make economies on the one si,le
and increase income on the other.
Fifteen thousand barrels of water
drunk every day by Illinois farm hens
bear witness to the fact that they have
long since passed out Of the sideline
class of farm production. Illinois has
one-sixteenth of all the hens In the
United States.
In shipping live birds to market,
shrinkage can be cut to a minimum
by providing scratch grain which has
been soaked in water. This soaked
grain should be fed in cans which are
securely fastened to a corner Of the
coop. preferably with stovepipe wire.

If rocks are only rocks re-cast,
Each oak the acorn of some tree,
If / ar part of what is gone,

Upon some glaciers icy blast,
That they who journeyed back and

Along this road might pause and

And yet how many men in me
Will find little charity?
This oak tree, when an oak tree fell,
Rose from its roots and spread its

And, when the sun beat down as well,
How much of shadow have made
To cool some other fellows brow
AS this old oak tree cools me now?
And, if some mortal loved the right,
And died, who had so bravely
fought.
How well did take up the fight,
Or was his struggle all for naught?
I took his gifts, but now he's gone,

Size of Eggs Can Be
Influenced by Feeding

Egg size is Influenced by breeding
ard also by feeding. 1t is as natural
for some hens TO lay large eggs as 1t
is for some cows to give heavy flow
of milk. 1t is important to select
eggs of the desired size when saving
for incubation. because the size Of egg
laid, to some extent, is inherited by
the offspring. However, 1t is possible
to influence the size of eggs to con-
siderable extent through proper feed
ing and proper supply of minerals
necessary for egg shell.
A ration Of grain alone or even with
milk will probably not give best re-
suits so far as egg size is concerned.
A balanced ration carrying not less
than per cent of bone meal and pos
sibly or per cent calcium car
Donate In some form, like crushed
limestone or calcite, is considered de
sirable for best eggs.

Plan Now to Increase
Production of EGG

One of the imperative needs Of the
poultry industry is to increase the
consumption of eggs, said Reese Kicks
of the International Baby Chick as
ISOLATION, in addressing the American
Institute of Cooperation at Manhat-
tan, Kan. Other foods are giving eggs
battle for place on the breakfast
table, and according to Mr.. Hicks, this
is what can be done about it.
The first step toward increasing egg
consumption is for producers to sup
ply high quality eggs. The second
step is in standardiZing the product
so that the public will know what it
is buying. The third step is for CO.
operatives to join hands with other
agencies in the poultry industry to ed
ucate the public as to the value Of
eggs.-Nebraska Farmer.

take of the Christmas feast built
around the turkey
Those were great times and days
and their annals live in the works OF
famous literati of the East coast when
our Republic was comparatively young.
But at the same time mighty civil
lization was being builded on the West
coast, though how different was the

events on the east End west coasts at

Olivia (died 1S45) officiated. and at the
conclusion of the mysterious 'sacri-
ficio' he produced small image rep
resenting the infant Savior, which he
held In his hands for all who chose
to approach and kiss.
after this, the tinkling of the gull
tar was heard without, the body of
the church was cleared, and immedi-
ately commenced the harmonious
sounds of a choir Of voices. The
characters entered in procession,
adorned with appropriate costumes,
and bearing banners. There were six
females representing shepherdesses,
three men and a boy.
Zone of the men personated Lucifer,
one a hermit, and the other Bartolo,
a lazy vagabond, whilst the boy repre-
sented the archangel Gabriel. The
story of their performance is partial
ly drawn from the Bible, and COM
mences with the angels appearance

birth of our Savior and exhortation
to them to repair to the scene of the
manger. Lucifer appears among them,
and endeavors to prevent the prosecu-

trates their effect.

considerable length relative to the at
tributes of the Deity. which ends In
the submission Of SataL.
"The whole is interspersed with
songs and incidents that seem better
adapted to the stage than the church.

representation, Is exhibited at the

at the conclusion Of the play are en-
