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

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.
