Poultry keeping is a decidedly healthful occupation. The early spring pullets make Ihe fall and winter layers. Select medium-sized, well-formed eggs from healthy hens for set tine Allow one male of the large breeds to 12 hens, and one to 15 hens of the smaller breeds. The Rourbon Reds are said to be quiet and easily bandied, non roving in habit and yet very hardy. No one can succeed well with poul try who permits them to live year after year iu filthy places. Keep the chicks absolutely free from Insects to grow them to ma turity as quickly as possible. Keep the pigeons' flying lofts clear of bolts us the birds are apt to injure themselves by (lying against them. For the man In the business of egg production, with fowls of the Leghorn type. Incubators and brooders are a necessity. Unless one has the time and pa tience to attend to the Incubator prop erly. he had better let the hen hatch Ills chickens. Buckwheat Is n good food, similar in composition to corn. It is best used in connection with some more nitrogenous food. One ran learn many things from books hut one of the things one can not learn all about Is pigeon raising. That takes experience. Duck eggs should be set under hens if early broods are wanted, liens make better mothers, at least, for Hie early broods, than ducks. Have the laying and setting rooms well cleaned, the partitions white washed and the nest boxes dusted with tobacco dust to check the lice. There is not as profitable an ad junct to any farm, be it large or small, or even the tenant, for the amount in vested, as a nice lot of poultry. TEST EGGS FOR FERTILITY Simple Arrangement by Which Task May Be Accomplished In Short Space of Time In starting the incubator it is essen tiul that the eggs be tested for fertil ity, which may easily be accomplished with the simple and quickly made tester illustrated herewith. A strip of cardboard is bent into a circle and sewed together so it will set over the chimney or globe on an ordinary lamp; into the side of this cylinder Egg Tester. cut a hole about two Inches In di ameter and make a second tube to fit same, of earboard, attach this by sew ing onto the larger one and the tester is complete. It is placed over the lamp and the Intensity of the light shows through the smaller cylinder on the side; by placing the egg up against same it can be tested in a moment’s time, much time being saved by having both hands free to handle the eggs. LAYERS ARE MONEY MAKERS Cartful Selection of Flock, Eliminating Drones, Is Sure to Increase Productiveness. (By ft’. E. VAPLON, COLORADO AORI CULTURAL COLLEGE.) Do not blame your pullets next winter when they are not laying; you should have been busy on the problem during the present winter. You should know which hens are fur nishing the eggs from which these pullets will be hatched; the chances on the average farm are that the eggs from the poorer layers and slower maturing pullets are being used for this purpose, and that the hens that have been laying all winder are being used to hatch these eggs. Culling, se lection, elimination, kept constantly In nilnd, and continually practiced, will mean healthier fowls, livable chicks, earlier pullets and eggs when they are most wanted. Do not set eggs from the whole flock, but dispose of all males not used In this breeding pen, and from the re mainder of the flock gradually elimi nate the drones. It Is surprising how large a proportion of the average flock is useless, or worse than use less, for these non-producers are in the way of the workers and are pre venting them from doing their best. If you cannot make up such a breeding pen this spring, try this for next sea son Next fall mark or band the first thrifty pullets to begin laying; also the yearling hens that are doing well this season. During the early winter 1 carefully note their performance, and from these banded hens and pullets ! make up your next year's breeding pen. You will be surprised at the in- 1 creased vigor and productiveness of your flock. Care of Droppings. During the summer when not enough coal ashes are produced for the hen roost, dry loam is a good material for sprinkling the droppings. It will keep down odors and absorbs fertilizing ele ments. Never use wood ashes, as they cause more odor and destroy the fer tilizing value of the droppings MAKING PROFIT IN POULTRY! Vast Difference in Laying Capacity of Different Strains of the Same Breed. Seven years ago I paid $10 for 100 hatching eggs, which came from a noted breeder who kept single comb while Leghorns exclusively, writes a correspondent of the Agriculturist. 1 secured the (lrst egg from Ihe pullets when they were four months and 10 days old From that time they laid continuously up to August t of the t'cxt j'enr. when they began to molt 1 have raised chickens all my life, and have had almost every breed, hut these are the best, because they are a laying si rain People have the idea that all chicks will lay. They do not realize there .s a vast difference in the laying capacity of the different strains of even Ihe same breed, so much Is said about feeding for eggs. Hens bred to lay do not have to be fed to lay; 1 mean coddled 1 hatch early, usually start ing the Incubator In February. My squab broilers when eight weeks old weigh from 12 to 1C ounces each. This Is very rapid growth for pure Leg horns. All the pullets nre kept for laying purposes. Both males and fe Single Comb White Leghorn*. mules are left together until the broil ers are sold and are fed after (lie first two weeks eornmeal Johnny cnko mixed with buttermilk and cut green bone twice a week. After the cockerels are disposed of the pullets are not forced. Last year in my home market, Albany, the squab broilers brought one dollar a pair up to duly 4. After that 1 received 76 and 80 cents a pair for regular size broilers, three pounds to the pair. By the middle of September my early pul lets are all laying, and during the winter they have practically all laid, with eggs at 46 and 60 cents a dozen. Their feed is oats mixed with chaff from the barn floor in the morning, an occasional sheaf of wheat to pick at, and at noon corn on the cob, which they work on until night. Plenty of fresh water and grit they have at all times. They have warm sleeping quarters and a large scratching shed and ure never allowed out In the snow or wet, hut are kept free from damp ness by use of plenty of clean, dry lit ter aud are always In cleau quarters. MAKING NEST EGGS OF CLAY Mold Invented by Which Poultry Fan cier Can Make Artificial Aids to Laying. Farmers and chicken fanciers need no longer depend on the china egg market for their nest eggs. An Arkan sas man has Invented a mold by which any man may turn out as many ot these artificial aids to laying as bee thinks bis hens will need. The mold consists of a receptacle made in two parts, each part of which Is hollowed out In the shape of half an egg. One section has fingers jutting from It and the other section fits Inside these fin gers and over an Inner rim of the For Making Nest,Eggs. first. The material used to make the* eggs- It may lie plaster of parts or clay Is placed In the two sections and the mold Is lifted together. The mold Is then placed in an oven and baked until the contents have hard ened. when it Is taken out and opened and a perfectly formed artitlclal egg tails out. To complete the resemblance, a coat of white enamel should be given the oval and any hen may be defied to tel’ it from the real article. Breaking Broody Hen. If a hen becomes broody and you do not want her to set, confine her aa soon aa possible in a coop or narrow run, feed grain and she will begin to lay again within a few days. If she is allowed to set for several days she will lose flesh and vitality and will not resume laying for several weeks. Either set the broody hen or start her to laying. Selecting Poultry Plant. Select for the poultry plant a loca tion, it' available, on land naturally well’ drain* d, sloping gently toward the south or southeast, and sheltered. If possible, by a belt of trees or ua orchard from the harsh winds and storms of winter Philosopher on Riches. No good man ever grew rich all at once.— Publius Hvrus.
