POULTRY TACTS: REQUIREMENTS FOR SUMMER EGG YIELD Feed, Water, No Lice, Mites; Cull Non-Layers. By J. C. Taylor, Extension Poultryman, New Jersey Collere of Agriculture. WNÜ Service. Four requirements for the main tenance of profltable summer egg production are clean and cool lay ing houses, the regular feeding of clean food and cool water, the elimination of lice and mites, and the culling of the non-layer. Birds which fail to lay well when the first three requirements are met should be removed from the laying flock. Poor layers are re vealed by definite characteristics, the more important of which are as follows: Comb—pale, small, scaly; eye— sunken, dull; beak—yellow; vent— small, yellow, dry; shanks—yellow, round ; feathers—new feathers, molting; skin—thick, hard, fatty. Important characteristics of the layer are as follows: Comb—red, large, soft; eye— prominent, bright; beak—white; vent—large, white, moist; shanks — white, flat; feathers — worn, soiled; skin—soft, thin, loose. All birds that show characteris tics of a non-layer should be re moved from the flock every week. It is a good plan to test you abili ty at picking out the non-layers by putting the birds you have selected as non-layers in a pen by them selves for a few days. If no eggs are found in the pen it shows you have done a good job. Sell Roosters, Is Advice of Iowa Poultry Expert In order to protect the interior quality of eggs, roosters should be removed from the breeding pen as soon as the hatching season is over, recommends Dr. N. F. Waters, of the poultry husbandry staff at Iowa State college. If the male re mains with the hens, the eggs will be fertile, and if a fertile egg is held at a temperature ranging above 68 degrees F., the germ will develop. A fertile egg will deteriorate much more rapidly than an infer- tile egg. An infertile egg seldom rots, but a fertile egg will decom pose rather rapidly if exposed to high temperatures. The loss to the poultry industry resulting from marketing fertile eggs has been es timated at more than $1,000,000 per year. Waters declares. It is a false belief that a hen will not produce as many eggs if the male is removed from the pen. If males are valuable, and it is desired to hold them over until the next breeding season, they should be placed in separate pens. Alfalfa for Hens There is no one best way to feed alfalfa hay to hens. Grinding fine stemmed, leafy, green alfalfa in an attrition or hammer mill, and adding it to the mash, is one way to feed this best green feed substi tute. Experience indicates that it should not make more than 5 per cent of the mash by weight. More alfalfa than this reduces the pal- stability and amount of the mash eaten. A second very satisfactory method is to feed bright, green, fine, leafy alfalfa in a hay rack. One can use a slatted rack, simi lar to that used for cattle or sheep, but with the slats and openings from one and one-half to two inches wide. This is hung on the wall of the house, or a circular container made out of two-inch mesh poultry netting can be used. In the Poultry Yard Alfalfa makes an excellent range for chicks. • • • Lime, in some form, is necessary to the formation of egg shell. * * u People of Britain eat an average of 151 eggs per person a year • • • Growing chicks should be moved to clean ground every two weeks. * • • At least 60 per cent of the lay ing flock should be pullets, as they produce better than the average flock of older birds. • • • If sodium fluoride solution is used in dipping chickens for lice and mites, the solution should not be left where stock may drink it. • • • To decrease the spread of dis eases from old hens to growing chicks, never allow them to mix or even to use separate parts of the same building. • • • Egg production has increased, with output by farm flocks about 4 per cent greater than in the spring of 1935. port should not be approved, the ad- ministra trix uisenarged, her bonds men exhonorated and the estate closed.
