PROPER MATING AND
BREEDING OF FOWLS
By O. .0.. Small.
' The ltravy laying hen 1 always fat
hen. The weaker her constitution the
more she takes on fat through lack of
exercise. . Mating or allowing related
blood to breed , na served to destroy
more rood layers than any other one
thing. There are also two other factors
that never fall In lowering the laying
atandard. Two factors when reversed,
that will greatly improve egg producing
quality and largely prove the caune of
alternate" high and low percentage of
egg yield frequently occurring In the
name flock from one generation to an
other. They are as follows.
Firstly. The hen always transmits
her egg producing Tactora to the sons
and never to daughters. The cock bird
transmits these factors to the daughter
nnd not to suns. The male, however,
vin sometimes vary and throw more
equal influence to both sex, but the hen
Is more positive In this rnspect and ran
only transmit these factors to the op
. pos'lto ex. Here is where the mistake
ocrurs hv paying too much attention to
the hen and not enough to the etjual In
fluence of the male for developing pro
lific layers. For examples ,.,.
rullcts sired by a male from a heavy
laying dam, will prove) good laying
twenty, regardless of the proficiency of
ihelr dam. Fullets sired by( a male
from an Inferior laying damf will provf
Inferior layers no matter how good the
laying quality of their dam. The sec
ond factor, .:,. - -..New
blood Is the fonndatlon - of a
strong constitution and constitutional
vigor of the hen 19 tha sustaining pow
er supporting the heavy labor of egg
production. Introduction of unrelated
blood from the same breed every year,
will develop and sustain a higher
ecg yield than tho present aver
age of six dozen, a hen per year. TJnre
Inted blood introduced every year
through . a different variety; will de
velop and jnistalH a production still
higher and above the ability of , one
blood to produce, especially, when the
mating are made up from males of the
nonsetting type and hens of the larger
varieties. ,
The best layers to be obtained are
from the first Issue of a cross of two
distinct breeds as stated. This suggests
a hybrid, but not to the exetent of con
verting our pure blooded poultry Into
a bunch of mongrels. . It will be nec
essary to always have thoroughbred
poultry and they can easily t de
veloped into better layers than the pres
ent standard, but, the maximum egg pro
duction of which, tbCliBTVU capable of
giYlng for table tfSa, requires a greater
volume of sustaining powers to give the
full v yield 'than the blood of- any one
variety can develop. The first issue
from crossing two breeds always .pos
sess stronger vigor than is contained in
either side of' the sire or the dam.
Therein lies the source of sustaining
power, equal to the capacity of the hen
to produce. Another thing. Hybrid
blood contains stronger "rttallty at Its
Inception than It will In succeeding gen
erations. It begins to revert back at
that period, eventually merging into
one blood when perpetuated, 'as a new
breed until the vigor, of blood equals
that of either side of the parent stock.
' This is the solution to the ooa layers
at the beginning of a new breed that
a few years later prove to be no bet
ter egg producers than the average
: flock of hens.
' Tls hybrid layer that Is originated
and' ends her existence In one genera
tion, is the 200 a year egg ben we are
after. She cannot he bred for issue
and is not profitable as a breeder for the
reasons explained, therefore, devotes her
full time and all her energies to laying
eggs for table- use., She is the layer,
when properly produced from healthy
and heavy laying stock, that will suo-
. cessfully double the production now ob-
, talned, with many cases of 600 eggs In
three years, which is the total number
of eggs contained In the hen and three
- years Is the shortest time In .which the
full yield can be given to success.
The hen is endowed with the 'functions
for moulding and delivery of eggs and
her ability to produce more and more in
a given time under favorable treatment
. of breeding to develop her productive
organs and to give the vigor to sus
tain heavy production, has been provea
These functions and her ability, bow
ever, are not the source of sustaining
powers, nor are' they the principal
source of transmitting laying quality to
the succeeding generation.
This or thdt variety of poultry has
. nothing to do with the total egg ca
pacity of the hen, nor the volume of
: yield that can be induced In a given
time under fnvorable conditions to en
courage productions, for all are the
same in those respects and one variety
surpasses another in utility qualities,
because of having received more atten
tion for dnvelopment-along those lines.
The present average yield of six doz
en eggs hen per year, with many hens
going out of commission at two years
old, is c-ne half the production that
poultrymen should be getting from their
flocks. Twelve dozen esrgs a year for
three consecutive years is the capacity
if the hen as an average layer. Her
"laying factors are already developed to
give that yield, but she falls down
through lack of sustaining powers that
present systems of breeding will not
v supply.
Culling Fowls,
The first great secret In the produc
tion of fine poultry l novere culllrfa.
As soon as 3-ou can distinguish be
tween the good and the bad, com
mence the culling process. The runts
and the deformed, the off-colored
,nnd the disqualified, should be at once
disposed of. so that tha room and feed
may not be appropriated by them to the
detriment or the good ones.
Select fowls of good size, proper color
and correct formation. If the backs,
keels, legs or toes of any are brooked
or deformed; throw . them out for the
table or tha .market. If there are anv
scrub, small or feeble ones, it is best
to end their existence.
When you cull, cull closely, and re
tain only such specimens as are rea
sonably sure to grow right It is onlv
by aucti systems of severe culling that
one can ever hopa to brood reasonably
urnrorm specimens of fancy poultry.'
Fattening Fowls.
To fatten poultry for market, remove
inm from the yards and place, without
overcrowding, in a coop, which should be
provided with a canvas cover to draw
lx not feed for about six hours after
I'lacing tn tho coop, .and then feed all
they will At. l'eed three times a day,
rnd keep fresh water and a basis, of
- -mmc.ik. SMfA .them.
START SMALL AND
BUILD UP A PLANT
A poultry farm built on a secure
foundation is sure to be successful if
afterward properly managed. It is not
only necessary to make 'tho right kind
of start, but the work rhust be regu
larly and faithfully performed, day in
and day out.
As a rule, beginners start with great
enthusiasm, and not a few build air
castles, but to many of them the Hants
ness of the work, the close application,
the constant watching, noon become
monotonous,1 and then there is a shirk
ing of "duty, neglect, carelessness and
the enterprise becomes a failure. The
point Is to begin email measure the
size of the initial step with tho amount
of capital and experience at hand.
It is often the cafe that men with
mora or lees available capital practi
cally put all their money in houses and
slocks. This is a mistake, and more
so In the case of those who have had
no personal experience In the work.
In the parlance of today, "A mnn
must be onto his Job." He must know
what to do .and how best to do it. He
must be aware that inexperience majl
cause leaks, and leaks will soon sink
tha enterprise.
It is a noteworthy faot that the most
successful poultry farms of today are
those that have started from a small
beginning and gradually expanded as
business and experience warranted.
Men who could not get Into the Wry
goods business for the reason that
"they knew nothing about it" will
build poultry houses and stock them,
and expect tho hens to do the rest
liens, like cows, yield a profit ac
cording to. the treatment given them.
They will not stand neglect. They are
hard workers when properly rewarded,
but can be most idle and indifferent
producers when mad to shift for
themselves.
Our agricultural colleges have- done
much to teach the new aspirants how
to tread In poultry paths, and men and
women who endeavor to improve by
these excellently arranged courses of
Instruction "will have won . half the
battle the other half naturally be
longs to practical experience.
A man with $1000 had better Invest
one-half of it In buildings, stock and
fixtures, and reserve the other half for
feed and running expenses than Invest
the whole amount In tha equipment
and have to go In Bebt for tha feed.
Egga and poultry are staple crops,
and the demand is far greater than tha
supply. This country, needs more
poultry farms, and they will be suc
cessful when properly built and man
aged. But the beginning must ba small
and the growth gradual, aa that every
part of the work is properly noted and
correotly performed. -
Hens Picking Feathers.
To the Editor: Would you kindly tell
me the cause of hens picking the feath
ers, from their back? What can I do to
cure them of It, and is there anything
that can be done to make the feathers
grow on again at this time of the year?
I know they will come In again after
moulting time is over, but can I do
anything now to make them growT Al
so Is eating feathers a disease? If bo,
what will cure It?
Please tell me if alfalfa meal Is good:
also blood meal, and how both should
be given? What can I give for a good
tonic, as they do not eat good.
C. H. P.
Picking and eating feathers is not a
disease, but It is unnatural, and it is
caused by neglect and the laak of prop
er food and exercise. Give them plenty
of grit and oyster shell and furnish
them a scratch pen. Throw their grain
In the straw and make them work for
It, and they will soon stop picking their
reathers and the plumage will return.
Alfalfa and blood meal are both good
for chickens, and should be mixed with
a mash composed of bran and shorts.
Poultry pepper is a good tonlo and ln
vlgorator. It costs 25 cents a pound
and can be secured at any feed store
with directions for using.
A Broiler.
To the Editor: Will you please tell
me what a broiler is, for though I have
raised chickens for our own use for
years, I don't know. I think a pullet
just starting In to lay makes the best
one. T. J. J.
That depends altogether on one's
taste. A young pullet might be con
sidered by some people, but in the com
mon meaning of , the term a broiler Is
a young chicken six or seven weeks old.
Eggs for Hatching.
To the Editor: Will you kindly
through the columns of your paper tell
me how long eggs can be kept for hatch
ing without the fertility of the egg be
ing injured? IC II. O..
It is better to set eggs as soon as
possible after being laid, but they may
be kept not longer than three weeks,
and in that case should be turned every
day.
Milk for Producing Eggs.
Two tests are reported - from the
West Virginia station of the value of
sklmmllk compared with water for
wetting a feed mash. In the first
test, which covered 122 days, 22 hens
fod sklmmllk laid 1244 eggs ss com
pared with 996 eggs laid by the 22 hens
fed mash wet with water.
In the first period of the second test
60 hens fed the sklmmllk ration laid
862 eggs n 37 days, as compared with
632 eggs laid by a similar lot fed no
sklmmllk. In the second period, which
covered 66 days, the rations were re
versed Thei chickens fed sklmmllk laid
1220 eggs, as compared with 978 in the
case of the lot fed no sklmmilk. In
every case the pens contained one cock
to 10 hens. In both experiments more
eggs were produced when sklmmilk was
substituted for water for moistening
the mash.
Under the conditions prevailing in
these experiments, and with eggs sell
ing for 20 or 25 cents per doion; the
sklmmilk used for moistening the mash
had a feeding value of from 1 to 8
cents per quart In these trials 802
quarts of.eklmmllk were fed, resulting
in an Increase In the egg production of
eggs, or almost an extra eitisr for
!t-eachufluart used.

Poultry Questions
WHAT AR
TA
El
By W, II Hart
I think the poultry farms should be
Inspected by the state pure food com
missioner in much the same way as
dairy farms and creameries are. Tou
can buy two quart bottles of milk, the
one from a healthy Jersey, the other
from a Jersey with tuberculosis. Both
bottles of milk are rich and sweet and
you porhaps can taste no difference in
them. The first quart would be sani
tary and .wholesome, whllo tha other
absolutely unfit for foodi
A preat many people think that strict
ly freHli ranch eggs are the best that
can bo had. But that is not the case.
How ran ranch eggs be absolutely san
itary when the hens have access to
horse and cow sheds and barns, filthy
manure piles and the like, from which
theyflnd quite a little grain and vermin.
Puddles of dirty water are allowed t,o
remain on the ground and tha fowls
are sure to drink the first water they
come to when they are dry.
On most ranches a wot mash Is fed
the poultry. If they ere fed. too much,
what is left will soon become dirty and
full of disease germs, especially if the
weather la quite warm. The mash
troughs are very seldom cleaned. The
ground around these feeding places be
comes contaminated. A hen should not
be expected to take dirty, filthy foods
into its crop and gizzard and transform
it into pure products. In other words,
a great many ranch egga are stale when
they are laid. This is very noticeable
during hot weather, which accounts for
many people preferring cold storage
eggs to fresh ranch egga In the sum
mer lime.
The egg Is almost if not aa completely
susceptible to certain disease germs as
mtlk. How, then, can eggs be expected
to keep sanitary when laid in poultry
houses that are damp and poorly ven
tilated and where the droppings are aU
lowed to accumulate for days and even
weeks at a time?
Sanitary eggs coma from poultry
ranches where the hens receive tho best
care possible. The houses should be
well lighted and well ventilated and
kept clean and dry. The whole grains
Bhould be fed in clean litter in the
houses, and a dry mash fed In hoppers
which should also be in the house. The
hens should have plenty of green food
to keep them healthy and vigorous.
Clean, fresh water should be supplied
every morning and In summer time
twice a day, In fountains, ao the water
cannot become dirty. Eggs contain
about 60 per cent water.
You get infertile eggs by keeninsr the
male birds away from the hena The
fertile egg has the "germ of life,-, and
the "germ of life" is the "germ of de
cay." The fertile egg must either start
to incubate or decay. The Infertile egg
will not Incubate and not liable to de
cay if kept under sanltary conditions.
They are also claimed to be superior in
flavor. Hence, infertile eggs are much
superior as an article of food.
Then, you ask, why don't ranchers
separate the males from the females'
My answer is, some haven't sense
enough to know it makes any difference:
others ay it is too much trouble and
too expensive. For separate houses
and yards have to be built for the male
birds, which also means a great deal of
extra work. Then again there are only
a few people who can afford to pay for
a first class article who really know the
difference between the common ranch
stock and the extra quality, sanitary,
infertile egg!
' f
Exercising the Fowls.
If fowls are too closely confined
they will constantly be striving to get
at liberty. They will try to fly over
the highest fences and in every way
show how well they love the rang of
field and pasture. Such uneasiness
and anxiety to get out militate against
their good health, and a hen that is not
in good health will not lay eggs. ,
They should, therefore, have all the
space that may be allowed them, and
if this may not be furnished at all, then
how much more Important it is that one
does not keep too many fowls confined
within the limit of the poultry house ex
clusively. However well the poultryman may
feed and tend them, when thus re
stricted, If there be an excess of num
bers crowded together, the hens will
cease to lay, they will get ill,, they will
lose their flesh, become miserable In a
short time, and in no case can taey be
made , to give food returns when thus
restricted in their quarters. If you
have no foom for the hens to exercise
in you would better get rid of them.
Ponltrygrams.
When purchasing young chicks, or
eggs, get the best you can afford;. You'll
get better return on your money.
Get friendly with your chickens.
Do
not scare them.
If you find a chicken with the habit
of eating eggs you can cure him best
by chopping its head off. Some poultry
men consider that the only method, as
it saves uoth the eggs and the time
otherwise given in attempting to cure
the bird. It also prevents other chick
ens getting the habit.
Don't get frightened if your incubator
chicks hatch on the twentieth day. A
strongly fertilised egg from good
healtny stock will hatch a good healthy
chick on the twentieth day.
Don't try to keep chicks away from
their mother. The mother will aban
don them soon enough.
narm of Too Much Grain.:
It never occurs to the average farm
er that the effect of a long continued
diet of, gravt is as injurious to fowls
as to cattle, nor .that the concentrated
grain food gives the best results .when
diluted or mixed with some bulfex suc
culent material. . , " ,.'
Range for Chicks.
An old orchard well set in clover Is
an Ideal range for chicks. Keep a cup
or tin can fastened to brood coop, which
Should be kept well filled with cracked
corn and wheat. Don't confine the,
chicks at any time, they will find all
the water they need.
Preparing for Market. r ,
French poulterers use -considerable
care in preparing carcasses; for market
In fact, ..they are experts in that line.
They know,not cn!yhuw twtutt fowrs
to get a plumper carcass,- but they
whiten and mold and manipulate the
fowl after killing until it looks al
most good enough to be eaten without
further preparation. American- - fnaxi
AND
NFERTLE
GGS
kets might not yet appreciate so much
care and attention to the, appearance
of dressed fowls, but ft Is well known
that carcasses prepared with the great
est car by American methods always
bring the best prices.
' ' ' , Brooding for Market,'
'. Of course, if you are going in for poul
try to sell on the market, you must se
lect the fowl that will produce the most
meat, and if for eggs the breed that will
produce more eggs than meat Then
It is "up to you'to get the most out
of them, as the slang goes, .
The Young Chicks,
liaising the young chickens is one of
the most Important phases of poultry
work. Unless a person can properly ma
ture the young stock to take the place
of the hens when, they become unprofit
able, success can nui pe assured.

1 Caring for Betting Hens.
A setting hen Is apt to hatch 6ut
something more than chicks. Dust her
well with insect powder or lice' killer
before she hatches. If tha hen is free
from lice it will' make a material dif
ference in the growth of the chicks. ::
1 Mature liens for Breeding.
Breeding from pullets or Immature,
fowls of either sex tends to decrease
the productive value of tha offspring.
xne use or mature oiras that excel in
softie particular respect tends to in
crease the productive, value of the off
spring, at least in tha Bam respect.
Good Poultry Rules. ,
It is urged that all farmers and
poultrymen adhere strictly to the fol
lowing rules in handling; their poultry
and eggs. '

I, Boll, kill or -confine all male birds
as soon as the hatching season Is over,
Do not feed fowl on the cold, damp
ground. Provide a good scratching
place, using plenty' of litter, then scat
ter the grain in this, to make the fowls
exercise for their feed. Fowls that do
not exercise for their feed, are usually
unprofitable In every way. The busy
hen Is tha laying and the paying one.
Iii the majority of cases It is not the
hen's fault that she doesn't lay, its the
keeper's. , '
