FOWLS FOR BACKYARD FLOCK
Used to Raise Scrubs, but Made Very
Little Money— Purebreds Go to
Market Much Earlier While
Prices Are High.
(Prepared by the United States Depart­
ment of Agriculture.)
How a Virginia farmer marketed
pigs heavier and more profitable than
he had raised in the past is told In
a circulur, "Better Sires for Virginia,”
recently issued hy the extension divi­
sion o f the Virginia Agricultural and
Mechanical college.
“ I used to raise scrub pigs," the
farmer declares. “ I didn’t think there
was much money In the hog business
because I didn’t make much. Since
using purebreds sires I have changed
my mind. As a result of using pure-
breda sires m.v nigs weighed 215 pounds
Not Necessary to Have Hens of Extra
Good Standard Q uality for Egg
Production.
For the backyard flock, kept to pro­
duce eggs only. It Is not necessary to
have hens o f extra good standard
quality. What breeders o f standard
poultry call choice utility hens are as
good as any for egg production, and
cost but Uttle more, than ordinary
mongrels. Hens of this grade In the
medium-sized breeds are usually a
little under standard weights, and
have superficial faults— as unsound­
ness o f color, or Irregularity o f mark­
ings or o f the shape of the comb—
which In no way affect their laying
capacity, but make them unfit for ex­
hibition and undesirable for breeding
purposes.
When buying hens In person, par­
ticular attention should be given to

The young stock should not be rear­

should be kept separate. As soon as

Soy beans may be planted any time

For a grain crop they should be plant,

manure or soiling crop they may be
planted as late as August 1. The
choice o f a variety must be made by
the farmer himself.
