Size of Eggs Can Be
Influenced by Feeding

Egg size is influenced by breed
ing and also by feeding. 1t is as
natural for some hens to lay large
eggs as it for some COWS to give
a heavy flow of milk. 1t is i'm
portant to select eggs of the desired
size when saving for Incubation, be-
cause the size of egg laid, to some
extent, is inherited by the offspring.
However, it is possible to influence
the size of eggs to a considerable
extent through proper feeding and
a proper supply of minerals neces-
sary for egg shell.
A ration of grain alone or even
with milk will probably not give
best results so far as egg size is
concerned. A balanced ration car
rying not less than 3 per cent of
bone meal and possibly or 2 per
cent calcium carbonate in some
form, like crushed limestone or cal
cite, is considered desirable for best
eggs.

from the flock were $1,231.96. Mrs.
Carls received $517.50 in labor in

Thriller" of Long Ago
Outdone by Invention

Way back in their bOyhOOd read
ing, Illicit reading. with the yellow
back in the big geography. and the
teacher not too vigilant, some men
who are grayhaired now can recall a
Beadle thriller with the title Red
Star, the Spirit of the Lake"
A white pioneer has had all his
family murdered by the Indians. He
escapes to an island and finds
cave. In that cave there is a stone
tomahawk with the striking edge so.
carved as to form a star, and leave
that mark on the victim.
Also there are two very light anGl
narrow cedar canoes. with straps for
the feet. The pioneer finds that in
these he can walk the water of the
lake. Every night he goes out.
Every morning some redskin is found
lead in the forest with the star mark.
Hence Red Star, the Spirit of the
Lake."
Red Star walked on quiet water.
But now the news tells us that Karl
Naumesnik. of Styria, has eclipsed
the Beadle hero. Facing rather
heavy seas, he has actually walked
the water from Cape Girls Nez to
Dover on water skis" The distance
is about twenty miles. The water
skis Of 1881 are clearly superior to
the strapped-on cedar canoes of
fancy, three-quarters of a century
ago. And once more it has been
proved that truth is stranger than

POULTRY
'FAGL1N
WINTER SUNSHINE
GOOD FOR POULTRY
Ultraviolet Rays Needed by
the Flock.

SO much evidence has been &C
cumulated about the value of winter
sunshine in egg production that it
cannot be ignored by poultry rails
ers who want to get profitable re-
suits.
1t has been shown that ultra-viO-
let rays are a powerful factor in
increasing egg production, hatch
ability and fertility, as we'll as in
maintaining healthful conditions.
Ultraviolet rays promote bone
and body growth, and building Wit
amin d. During the winter months,
when poultry is confined, ordinary
glass and soiled cloth curtains bar
them out and some means must be
employed 10 make them available.
You need good housing and good
management to get best results.
Published data by such representa-
tive bodies as Wisconsin expert
ment station, University of Arkan-
sas; Ohio experiment station and
others have shown the effect of ul-
tra-violet rays during the winter
months. Records at egg-laying con-
tests (notably the Vineland egg-lay-
ing contesD also give practical
proof of the reproducing value OF
ultraviolet rays.
Poultry needs winter sunshine.
Layers must get ultraviolet radia-
tion or its equivalent. This is also
true Of chicks. The wise poultry
raiser will make sure his house is
properly constructed this winter
and next spring.-Ohio Farmer.

Zoo Gets Rare Bird

The London zoo now has one of
the worlds rarest birds-a hOatz;G.
which seems to have changed little
in its physical character since pre-
historic times. The bird has two
sharp claws on it's wings. When
danger threatens it dives from its
nest into the river and uses the claws
to climb back.
When fully grown it resembles a
small pheasant, with long tail, and
the nesting looks distinctly reptilian.
Its home is South America.-Asso-

Peat Moss Best Litter

Peat moss has been growing In
favor rapidly as a litter for poul-
try, both in the brooder and the lay
ing house. In brooders it is good
for five or six weeks, and it will
last considerably longer in the lay
ing houses. The comfort of the
birds is greatly increased by it's
use. In preparing Asiatic breeds
for the show room-peat moss as a
floor covering prevents toe and
shank feather from becoming soiled
and broken. After being used for
the poultry it is a good mulch.

there came from Washing

POULTRY FACTS
Oat hulls are not harmful to

Oat hulls are not harmful to
chicks if ground fine enough.
A good way to combat poultry lice
is to dip the entire flock on a warm
day in a solution of one ounce of
sodium fuoride to each gallon of
water.
Egg-laying contests have been
held in Canada for over ten years,
during which time the average egg
production has increased 81 eggs
per hen, it is declared.
Culling a flock is one of the i'm
portant things which is most COM
monty neglected. There is also a
neglect to procure and keep pure
bred chickens. Vermin are com
monty found in poultry houses.
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 might also be in
cluded.
The poultryman's biggest asset
right now is the flock of new pullets
that are being developed for next
winters laying flock, and what
ever he can do to protect that flock
so these birds will continue to lay,
is worth real money to him.
