Church Leagues
At Harmon Field
Are Possibility

Harmon Field caretaker, Joe Har-
ris, has asked that all churches in the
community interested in joining a
softball league this summer have a
representative at the field at 7:30 D.
m. Monday to discuss possibilities of
forming loop.
Harris said several churches, which
entered teams in the church league
last summer, have called him regard
ing play at the field this season.
There is no organized recreation
program at Harmon Field this sum-
mer. Harris pointed out that if the
churches wanted league they would
be required to supply bats and balls
and also personnel to officiate the
games. He would be available to help
get the play started, however.

WILL LAYING CAGES work in the
northern climates such as in Montana?
Would l be making a serious mistake
to try laying cages? These are two
common questions frequently asked by
Montana poultrymen.
A former prominent dairyman of Gal
latin county and now a progressive
pOultryman, Jake Tiedema, is provid-
ing some of the answers to these
questions. His results would definitely
indicate that poultryman would not
be making a mistake to try laying
cages provided Cd he uses good man.
agement practices, ~ he provides
well insulated house with some supple
mental heat for the few coolest months
of the year to keep the temperature
above freezing, and 90 if he locates a
market that will pay a premium for
the better quality and more uniform
eggs which he will be able to produce
through this new system.
Tiedema started with laying cages
only a year ago. He now has a few
over 900 birds in individual laying
cages and is happy with his decision
to install the cages. His birds are
housed in two houses, each 20 feet by
20 feet plus additional feed room space.
These houses are of frame construc-
ton with double walls insulated between
with commercial type insulation and
also with insulated ceiling.
Natural Ventilation
Insulated ventilating shafts and win
dOwS which open at the top provide
natural draft ventilation through the
house. The windows have composition
glass cloth on the outside for addi-
tiOnal protection from the weather. The
ventilatOrS are approximately two feet
square with four to a house. These
ventilating shafts run only from the
ceiling to few feet above the ridge
on the center of the gable type houses.
Tiedema tried using these shafts with
out insulation but found that the air
would frequently come down them
rather than going up and out of the
building.
Five rows of 95 individual cages each
run the length of one of the 20 foot by
20 foot houses. The other house has a
few less. Two of these rows are double
with cages placed back to back and
a drinking trough between them so that
one trough provides water for two rows
of cages. One row is single. Tiedema
is at present using a 55-gallon barrel
at each end of his water lines (three
for each house, to provide a constant
flow of water for his birds. This makes
1t easy to provide indications through
Montana farmer-stockman. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1947-1993, 1956-03-01

moved from battery to the floor .,
three weeks of age. This helps to CON.
troll feather picking and cannibalisno
and apparently also reduces the vast.
ing of feed in the laying cages.
Advantages and Disadvantages
These are some of the ADVANTAGES
Tiedema listed for laying cages on the
basis of his observations to date:
l. More uniform production tbrouob-
out the year.
2. Easier culling.
8. Less labor than with birds on tba
floor.
4. Cleaner and more uniform quality
eggs.
5. Less feed per dozen eggs pro-
duced.
6. Better diseases control.
A disadvantage mentioned by Tie
dema is higher investment cost per
bird. Each cage with feeder and wa
terer cost approximately $3.50, with
Tiedema providing the installation la
Dor. This is in addition to the building
cost, which included good insulation and
probably better insulation than would
be required for floor birds. About the
same floor space is required for the
single tier system of cages which Tie
dema is using as for floor layers. The
cage cost mentioned, of course, is par
TALLY offset by the saving in cost for
perches, nests and the floor tyne feed
ers and waterers which are not needed
with cages.
Double Tiers Possible
Group cages are being used in some
sections of the country and double
layer tiers of individual cages are also
in use in some states, which make it
possible to house more birds per 100
square feet of floor space than is pos
sible with the SINGLE tier individual
cages or the floor system.
Tiedema stresses the fact that he has
not been in the Gagged layer program
long enough to know all the problems
and to say cOnclusively that cages are
better than the floor system but he is,
so far, well pleased with his results
and does not, at present, see any prob
lem which cannot be solved.
Another Gagged layer poultry plant of
even larger capacitv is also in ouera-
ton in Missoula. These may we'll be
the beginning of a system of having
flock housing and MANAGEMENT in Mon
tana which has spread like wildfi~e
THROUGH the southern states from the
Pacific to the Atlantic and has been
gradually moving mort Inward, with
poultrymen in each state wondering if
they were too far north for the svs-
tenn to work satisfactorily and eooron1-
ically because of the colder weather.

More Eggs, Less Feed


More Eggs, Less Feed
Pellets are being fed the flock once
a day with few oats in the morning.
He says that he has been able to pro-
duce more eggs on less feed in the
laying cages than he was able to do
on the floor previously. His production
on some March Matched pullets has
been running between 80 and 80 per
cent, which is higher than the produc-
ton he was able to obtain previously
in floor pens
Each bird in the flock has an in
dividual record on top of the cage for
recording egg production and this rec
ord is used as the basis for culling out
nOn-prOducers. This makes culling an
easy and sure process. At the time of
the authors visit Tiedema was mar
keting the eggs from a group of old
hens in his flock which had been pro-
ducing high percentage of eggs with
blood spots. The hens which produced
the blood spot eggs were being taken
to market as they are identified.
Every egg marketed through the
regular marketing channels from the
Tiedema plant is stamped with the let
tiers Ut" and every carton identifies
the source of the eggs. Every egg is
candled, cleaned and graded for size
before being cartoned. The cartoned
eggs are sold in Bozeman and Butte
through stores, a restaurant and hos
pital within three days after being
laid. The demand so far has been so
good that Tiedema has been able to
set his own prices, which he places on
the cartons of eggs before they are de-
ivered to retail stores.
Less Labor
The labor in caring for the go birds
in cages including the gathering of eggs
amounts to only IL hours per day, &C.
cOrding to Tiedema. This does not,
however, include the labor in brooding
or in cleaning, grading and cartoning
of eggs.
The brooding is done entirely by Mrs.
Tiedema and he stays out of the brooder
house because of the disease hazard
involved. About $50 sexed pullet chicks
are started four times a year, three
months apart. A two-story brooder
house is used for brooding. The chicks
are started in batteries and moved to
the floor at about three weeks of age
under infrared lamps, where they re-
main in complete confinement until
they go to the laying cages. The Tie
dema poultry plant has only two acres,
so no attempt is made to range the
pullets. All chicks are now being de-
beaked with an electric debeaker when
