No Profit in Keeping
Weak Pullets in Flock

Weak pullets should be disposed
of as soon as possible after they
are out of the incubator, according
to Leon Todd of the Purdue univer-
sity faculty.
"POOrly feathered chicks, often
called bare backs usually are the
result of an inherited tendency and
one prominent hatchery man told
me he had his flock owners band
each poorly hatched chick" he said.
"NOne of the banded birds was used
as breeders, and after using this
scheme it no longer was necessary
to use bands to identify the bare
backs
keep young birds and layers
separated to prevent disease" he
warned. "Place the brooder house
in clover or alfalfa, near a corn
field, and move it a few yards every
three or four weeks, and be sure
there is plenty of water for the
birds"

Keep Young Cockerels
in Bachelor" Quarters

Place prospective breeding cock
erels in bachelor quarters at the
age of ten to twelve weeks, coun-
sells Berley Winton of the Missouri
College of Agriculture. Put the
culls in fattening crates for quick
growth gains two weeks before
sale. Removal of the males will
help prevent crOwding and will pro-
vide room for the pullets TO make
rapid growth.
AS soon as the young Gull chick
ems weigh one and one-fOurth to
one and one-half pounds, they are
ready to fatten. They should be
placed in fattening crates, and
should receive no feed the first "a
hours. Then feed the fattening bat
ter lightly for the first day or two
at least three, and preferably FIVE
times a day. Care should be taken
not to over-feed and to keep the
birds slightly hungry by giving
only what they will clean up in -
minutes. 1t is not considered profit
able to fatten more than IA days.
A good batter is made from seven
parts of cOrnmeal and three parts
Of middlings mixed with butter
milk and skimmilk to make the
whole the consistency of pancake
batter. Ordinarily two pounds Of
milk to one pound of dry feed are
used. Neither grit nor water are
required with this ration.

FALL EGG LAYING
BRINGS IN PROFITS
Now Is Good Time to Plan
for Hatching Pullets.

Winter eggs are not the most
profitable eggs for the poultry pro-
ducer. Fall production of eggs is
more important than winter pro-
duction, according to an analysis
of egg prices during the months of
August, September, October and No
vember, and comparison with the
winter prices, made by r. e. Cray,
extension specialist in poultry hus-
bandry at the Ohio State univer-
sity.
I'm February is the time to plan
the Matching of pullets for produc-
ton of eggs next fall during the
high-price season." says Cray.
"NeXt winter is the time for man
aging the flock in such a way that
the egg production which started in
the fall can continue throughout
the winter"
Breeding is the first requirement
of pullets that are to mature early,
lay good-sized eggs. and continue
to produce steadily through the fall
and winter months. Careful breed
ing is becoming more and more i'm
pOrtant with general increases in
feed prices and decreases in egg
prices. | feel safe in predicting
that the next five years will see
conditions in the poultry business
which will make it necessary to
increase the production ten eggs
per bird in order to make the same
prot we are making today"

or other necessity.

Claims. due to service, were handled by
the chapters and the national organiZa-
ton during the year ended June 80,
last.
For the benefit Of the chapters, the
national organization maintains a liai-
son service with the veterans admin
istration branches, and also a bureau
here to handle difficult cases and ap-
peals direct with the veterans admin
iStration. A total Of 1886 cases were
with the result that $761 900 in hnrne-
date payment to claimants were OBJ
tanned.
The war service work Of the Red
Cross and its chapters has grown con-
stantly in volume in the past few years,
and is more difficult to handle, due to
the lapse Of the years and greater effort
required in locating proof Of claims,
said James L. Feiser, acting chairman
of the Red Cross.
This, too, in face Of decreased reve-
nues: for the support OF this work. as
the fund left over from the Red Cross
war drives have been expended for
veterans work from year to year. The
war service work must be financed
through memberships in the Red Cross

chapter during the roll call from
Armistice day to Thanksgiving day, will
help in this work for the unemployed
or otherwise distressed war veteran and
his family"
