FEEDING AND CARE OF STOCK FOR BREEDING THE FOLLOWING SPEECH WAS DELIVERED TO ATTENDANTS AT ASHLAND'S MUMt'IXTKR FAIR, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, BY PROF. CHARLES S. BREWSTER. Poultrymen are now being con fronted with tbe problem of how to secure the greatest number of high quality chicks In their spring breed ing work. This is a vital problem in many ways and should receive the most careful consideration. By "qual ity chicks" we mean little fellows that are large, strong, vigorous and husky; that "pop" out of the shell in large numbers and which are free from disease. Such chicks will live and thrive and grow rapidly If given a proper chance and If the stock from which they came has been prop erly bred, will give results in egg pro duction. Good chicks are the foun dation upon which- you are building for your success next year. Failure to produce good chicks will mean fewer or poorer pullets next fall and consequently less profits. Assuming that the breeding birds are strong, healthy and vigorous, that they have been properly selected and mated so that the chicks will In- THE UNIVERSAL CAR Ford Ton Truck Cuts Delivery Costs. The Ford 'One-Ton Truck has cut "delivery costs" for thousands of business houses, farmers, factories, corporations, etc. Thousands of owners attest to its economy of operation and maintenance. They call the Ford a real "necessity" in their business. Ask us for a copy of the "Ford A Business Utility." Read what pleased owners say. It will cost you nothing. , Built of tough Ford Steel with the ever-dependable Ford motor " transmitting power to the aluminum-bronze worm-drive, with demountable rims and pneumatic tires, front and rear, together with the mechanical simplicity, have helped to give the. Ford Ton Truck the lowest possible operating and maintenance cost. It is the "lowest priced one-ton motor track on the market. Add to these practical merits our cfter-scrviee organization, which insures every truck owner of genuine Ford parts and skilled Ford mechanics, so that the Ford Truck need never lie- out of service. To sum up: Serviceability, flexibility, power, durability, lowest first and oper ating costs, service, all together, are the Ford qualities which cut down expense and will help you rat your "delivery costs." We Can Make Immediate Delivery Harrison Bros. Ford and Fordson Dealers Ashland, Ore herlt the tendency toward high egg production, the next question of Im portance has to do with the proper care of the breeding birds in order that' their eggs nay b suitable tor batching. The style and type ot the house to be used should not differ materially from the open front -laying house commonly used, but particular care should be taken to see that there is an abundance of fresh air and all of the sunshine the weather will permit. Plenty of room should be provided, as breeding birds should never be crowded. Crowding makes sufficient exercise Impossible and means dan ger from disease and parasites. If the birds are to be mated lb small units it may be desirable In some localities to use small colony houses but in this climate during the long rainy season It Is generally consider ed more desirable to use a long bouse, possibly a little narrower than the laying bouse, which may be divided up Into pens as may be necessary, and in which one can work In comfort without the necessity of being out in the rain continuously, as is neces sary with-the small separate build ings. It is generally conceded that It is desirable to, give the breeding birds as much outside range as is possible. This provides natural con ditions and the exercise In tbe open, air tends to make tbem rugged and hardy and to keep them in a healthy condition. The range is more de sirable If there Is some greed food for tbem to secure. Absolute clenullneas and sanitation in the bouse are, of course, absolutely essential. The object in managing breeding birds should be to keep them healthy and vigorous to develop rugged, sturdy, hardy constitutions. The ef fort Bhould bo to secure quality In i the eggs, even If high eg; produc-tthat for breeding hens a ration oom tion must be sacrificed to some ex-', posed largely of whole grain, fed tent. Plenty of exercise should he! In a dry litter to force exercise, plenty the rule at all times. This can best be secured by feeding all of the grain fed in a deep litter of dry straw. By a deep litter is meant at least six Inches of straw. More may added to produce sufficient eggs for be used. It should be changed as; hatching. frequently as necessary to keep Itj At soon as the breeding season is clean and dry. Damn, heavy litter over begin to gradually Increase the is worse than one as the birds can 'amount of mash fed until the hens not work in It and It tends to spread j are on a full ration, and force them or develop' disease. Lack of exercise for production tho balance of the tends to increase fut formation In the body, the birds become sluggish, lose their appetites and digestive dls- turbances follow, all if which is bound I poultry work. Good hatches of strong, to affect the fertility and Tiatchabllity j livable chick are not tbe result of of the eggs and the livabllity of the ("luck." They are the definite re chicks. I suit of proper breeding, careful so The feed for tho breeding stock lection, and painstaking care in the should be very much the same as for) management or tne Breeding atock. the laying flock, but there are some, -changes which are advisablo, With Mr. and Mr. J. A. McCampbell of the laying flock the object is to get : Seattle are in Ashland this week, large numbers of eggs and they should be forced to eat all they can hold so that their egg producing ma chinery can work at its maximum ca pacity all the time. In other words, it Is a question, of feeding them so much that they must "lay or bust." But with the breeders it is quality and not quantity that is wanted: First, large uniform eggs with good strong shells; second, a fair number of eggs; third, strong germs; fourth, a heavy albumen, dense and free from an excessive amount of water. Such eggs are only secured from healthy, mature hens fed a properly balanced ration. The ideal method Is to keep the hens on just a main tenance ration after the moulting season, just keeping them In good condition. They should be allowed to rest and egg production should not be encouraged nntll abont a month or so before the hatching sea son. Mash feeds, and particularly the meat feed Included in the mashes are designed to stimulate egg pro- duction, therefore the bens should be fed less of lhe feeds,' and more of the whole grain or scratch feeds. If you are mixing your own mash cut down the amount of meat feeds in the mash to 10 or IB per cent. It you ar feeding a prepared mash, as Tost commercial poultrymen ar do ing, and ar feeding the laying flock so that they will eat equal part .of grain and mash, Increase the grain ration tor the breeders until they ar eating twice as much grain as maBh. If any difficulty Is experienced In doing this It may help to keep the mash hopper closed part of the day, Feed no moist mash. Do not feed green cut bone, as it seems to affect the fertility of the eggs. If sour milk or fresh buttermilk is available give the hen all they will drink, or as much as possible. If neither of these can be obtained readily, use condensed buttermilk. The lactlt acid content of the tour milk or butter milk acts at a tonic and conditioner and keeps the digestive tract in u healthy condition. Provide plenty of green feed in the form of kale, mangels, ' carrots tugar beets, and cabbage, or let tbe hens run on a nnatiira of alfalfa, clover or vounff oata, barley or rye. If green feeds are not available In sufficient quan tity give tbe flock Epsom salts at the rate of one and one-half pounds per 100 hens, giving this amount In the water that tbe hens will consume In one day, every two or three weeks, Tbe condition of the droppings will determine how often to feed tho salts. Whenever they become dry or crumbly It I time to give the salts. Some authorities claim that the heavy feeding of mangels will result in u lower fertility in tbe eggs. Plenty of fresh, clean water is always essential for any kind of chickens. To turn it all up, we might say , of green feed, milk, water, grit, shell und charcoal is all that It needed to keep them In good condition 'and that only sufficient mash should be season, Remember that it never pay to trust blindly to "luck" In any line of guests of the former's sisters, Mn.
