For, says C. S. Platt, assistant poultry husbandman at the New Jersey experiment station, the produc tion of fertile eggs for market pur poses Is never desirable, though It can not be avoided during the hatching season. On many farms there Is a desire to keep over some of the better cockerels and the temptation Is to allow these to remain In the flock. The number retained, however, should be reduced to a minimum by careful selection. When this is done, the few that are kepi should be segregated, i t must be remembered that a new crop of cockerels w ill be reared during the coming season and good, vigorous cockerels are usually better than older birds anyway. The exception exists on those farms practicing pedigree mating. Where this is done it is absolutely necessary to keep over all of the male birds un til one knows what their daughters I have done. A proved male is prac tically priceless and os one cannot determine in advance exactly what his daughters w ill do It becomes nec essary to keep the birds over until they have had a chance to show their ability. Mule birds tliut are kept should be given plenty of sunshine, green food und yellow corn. Tiiey w ill not need much unlmal protein. A free range and whole yellow corn fed twice daily .will take care of their needs until the next breeding season. If kept con fined. cod-liver oil should be provided In addition to the corn and green food. One per cent in ttie grain would provide sufficient oil. Under confined conditions it w ill also lie necessary io he on the watch for lice and miles all of the time. These can lie kept under control by painting the roosts with a ctirbollneuin product anil hy dusting the birds with sodium fluoride.

W. Car rick, Purdue university. “ Such chicks are usuully those that lack tpe vigor neceesary to grow rapidly but chicks may also become stunted from lin- projier feed, chilling, or crowded con- dltlons during ttie first few weeks of thetr lives. “ Whatever tlie cause may he, little can be done to make such chickens profltalile. If pullets, they lay poorly and nre likely to be suscep tible to disease. They should tie marked with leg hands when five or six weeks old, and marketed as soon as they reach sufficient size, other wise they may feather out slowly and be kept In the flock to produce slml- lur chicks next season." By constantly culling out these low- vlta llty chick«, one enn practically eliminate them In the future offspring Good Laying Mash A farmer who raises corn, wheat, and oats can work them Into u good laying mush. It can consist of 100 pounds of ground corn, 100 pounds of ground oats, 200 pounds of ground wheat and 100 pounds of meat scrap. The addition of 2 per cent bone meal. 2 per cent ground limestone and 1 |>er cent fine salt w ill furnish minerals. Adding B0 isiunds of bran to tlie 500 pounds of mash helps to give It more bulk, «lien ground wheat Is used to place of bran and middlings.
