USED IN FEEDING
Now that the hatching season Is
over and fertile eggs are no longer
needed, every poultryniau should re
move ull of the male birds from his
Rock. 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

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.

Slow-Feathering Chicks
Common in Some Breeds
THE FEATHERHEADS
Fire Prevention W eek
“ Slow feathering or 'naked' chicks
are quite common In general purpose
breeds, and sometimes occur In the
lighter breeds," aays Prof. U. 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.
