WNU Service. Early molting hens, which begin to drop their feathers in the early summer, are not worth keeping in good poultry flocks. These birds stop laying when they begin to molt, but they go right on eating feed and running up expenses. They do not lay as many eggs as late molters and the eggs they do lay are produced at a time when eggs are plentiful and prices are low. Since early molting is an inherit able characteristic, they will pass this trait on to their offspring if A BARGAIN PRICE left in the flock and used for breed FOR NEW COMPLETENESS ing purposes.

BUTTER-NUT BREAD I* UH# FOR FliHVOR w*-Meacked ffouk- Al Shaw, Distributor S e le c t C o c k e re ls E a rly , Is U r g e d b y a P o u ltr y m a n Make an early start in selecting males to be used as breeders for next year’s poultry flock. During the early growth period it is possi ble to obtain information on feath er development, growth rate, vigor and standard qualities. This is the suggestion of Er. N. F. Waters of the poultry husbandry staff at Iowa State college. The male is extremely important to the flock, Dr. Waters points out, since he exerts an influence on the prog eny of approximately 15 female birds. If a poultryman decides that he will need ten cockerels for the fol lowing breeding season, he .should start his selection when the birds are about eight weeks old. In se lecting these ten males Dr. Waters recommends that about 40 of the best birds be selected from the flock. During the next three or four months a careful selection and culling should be made from these 40 males until the ten best remain. R a tio n s f o r C o c k e re ls A ration suitable for fatten ing cockerels would be equal parts corn meal, barley, meal, shorts and ground oats, with about 10 per cent beef meal added. The im portant thing is to feed them what they will eat up clean and keep their appetite good. Give them ail the water they will drink and see that grit is before them at all times. The cockerels should be fed in small pens or better in fatten ing crates if for marketing. The mash should be moistened with sour skim milk or buttermilk; al low it to thicken. If the mash is mixed with the moisture about two hours before feeding, it will swell and be mure easily digested. Never leave any feed in the trough, either in pen or crate feeding, after the birds have satisfied their appe tite. R a tio n s f o r Y o u n g D u c k s Young ducks will thrive on com mon grains fed either whole or mixed and ground to a coarse meal. They will do best when most of their feed is made into a moist mash. They should have cabbage or other similar green feed and meat scrap or table scrap, provided these are perfect ly fresh and fed in moderation. In summer ducks will find most of their feed if nea; water but may need some supplemental rations. T r e a tm e n t f o r L ice Hot weather is the time that lice do most of their damage. An early battle against them may easily prevent a slump in egg production. The easiest and least expensive treatment for lice, says Wallaces’ Farmer, is the use of nicotine sul phate on the roosts just before the hens perch for the n,ght. A needle like stream, applied the length of each roost is effective and very low in cost. It will rid the lay ing flock of most of the lice. S ergeant Lee B.
