HOME AND FARM MAGAZINE SECTION D Better Poultry for 1915 By Q. L. Wood, Poultry Editor. 1 THH poultry industry, from the man who ratae a baker's dozen In his back yard to the big egg plants can look forward to great things in 1915. The In dustry is go ing ahead by leaps and bounds and It roata with the men who are ac tively engaged In It as to whether this advance will be permanent and secure, roultry Is the only meat consumed aa food that has not had Its proportion of recent price raises. (The reason for this has been that beef and pork are the every-day meat rations for every nation. Chickon has always been more or less of a diah for Sunday dinner and company. It has not had the exces sive demands- that other meat has enjoyed. But the high price of beef which has now touched and passed chicken meat in many Instances has put the poultry industry In a new light If beef cannot be produced cheaper; if it is true that the for merly available grazing lands In'the United States are being rapidly cut tip into farms, and displacing the feeding places for large quantities of stock, and that everywhere the production of beef on a large scale Is being rnpidly and surely curtailed, then the poultry industry has reached the stage whore it will soon come into Us own. What man is going to pay more for beef and pork than chicken' Just what do you suppose will hap pen to the present supply of mar keable poultry when chickon be comes no longer a luxury but nn every-day meat for the table T The opportunity for producing poultry on a large scale is not affeclod by the causes that are limiting the pro duction of beef and pork. The small farm is Just the place for rioslng It in any quantity desirable to the breeder. But If this Is to be done for a profit every farmer and breeder who would have his proNts sure must see that his poultry Is rapidly put on the most vigorous basis possible. There is everywhere the complaint that hens do not pay for their feed, that fertility runs low, that it la Im possible to raise even 60 per cent of the hatched chicles, and that the quality of the stock la not improv ing In the least I want every per son who Is having any or all of these troubles to find In the follow ing suggestions something that he can apply to his own case. It is not only necessary that you read how to Improve your chances for suc coss, but tea times more important' that you put every one of the sug gestions possible that would apply to your case Into action. Coll your stock and cull It closely. Small tmdergrown specimens, birds with pinched tails, fowls out of all proportion to the standard require ments of the breed, and .any other birds which would not be a good, healthy, vigorous breeding, stock should be discarded and sent to the market The best of your female breeder this past year should be retained and mated to large, vigor ous cockerels from heavy egg laying strains. It does not matter what breed yon are raising, there Is some reliable breeder on the coast who Is developing the egg qualities of this particular breed. If yon do sot want exhibition specimens, you can secure large, vigorous breeders for five dollars each, that will be worth many times this amount to yon In building up a profit-bearing flock. The main point is do not be too afraid to cull. Remember, the closer you cull the better results you will get Ton will have a fine founda tion stock for the next year, and more care exercised as to what birds are kept for breeders is going to put the flocks where there will be vigor enough in them to batch enough of the eggs sot, and to raise enough of the hatched chicks to yield a reasonable profit. The sub Joct Is too large to more than touch on U in a general way, but I want every reader to do better with his poultry In 1916 than the year past Make your poultry raising worth while.
