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.

At least 60 per cent of the lay

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

even to use separate parts of the
