HANDLING NEXT
YEAR’S LAYERS
Make Your Selection of Pullets
as Soon as Possible and
Watch Them.
We begin to make our-selections of pul
lets for next winter's layers just as early
as possible. First, the cockerels and pul
lets are separated as soon as the. sexes
can be distinguished; then thg culling of.
pullets begins when they are atiout six
weeks old. Os course it is impossible to
determine at that age the pullets that
eventually will be kept, hut we can cull
out all that are undersized, lack vigor.or
show’ any signs of weakness’.' In this way .
the flock intended for layers is kept at a
high standard from the start, while the
less vigorous chicks, being kept separate,
will make better progress than they would
if kept with the stronger ones and can
be more quickly brought to market size.
At the first culling the pullets are re
moved from the brooders to colony houses
in flocks of 75 to a 100 to each house.
The houses are of various sizes, being for
the most part constructed of waste lum
ber of odd lengths, and while they are
necessarily roughly constructed they are
as convenient and comfortable as more
expensive structures. Most of them are
about four by six feet, four feet high in
front and two and a half feet at Jhe rear,
tight boarded on three sides, and upper
half of front covered with wire netting.
There is a door in the center of front and
a small sliding door ai the end for the
chickens to go in and out. Roofs are cov-i
ered with tar paper over thin boards.
When the chicks are first placed in the
colony house hovers are provided, but as
soon as the pullets begin roosting on top
of the hovers perches are provided. A
drop curtain over the open front gives
protection at night
In developing the pullets the feed prob
lem is important. We want the pullets
to make a steady but not necessarily
rapid growth. It is best not. to attempt
to hasten maturity and have the pullets
laying at an abnormally early age. It
can he done, but only at the expense of
the pullet s constitution. We do not want
our pullets to begin laying until they have
attained practically their full growth.
Thus, we aim to have our April hatched
Leghorns laying the first of October, not
earlier. This allows ample time for tliei ’
development without resorting to forcing
methods. Their feed while on the range
is substantially the same as used In the
laying houses. The morning grain feed
is equal parts of wheat and cracked corn
fed in deep litter. In the afternoon the
grain used is oats, corn and a little
wheat In the hoppers before the pullets
e> all times Is a mixture of bran and dried
] lPe f scraps. Grit, shell and fresh water
are always at hand. Being on range, the
chickens get all of the green food they
require, as well as a large amount of an
imal matter in the form of insects and
worms. Milk is fed whenever we have It
to spare and is one of the best foods for
promoting growth
After the pullets reach the. age of two
months there should be little trouble from
disease of any kind if ordinary precau
tions are observed, but we must be eter
nally vigilant to keep lice in check. Be
fore transferring the young chickens to
the colony houses we examine them and
if any Hee are found the chicks are
greased on head, throat and rump with a
mixture of lard and kerosene By elean
ft g the houses dally, whitewashing them
frequently and painting the perches with
lice paint, we have little trouble with the
pesf; but to keep them in check we must
keep everlastingly at it twelve months in
the year A few weeks' neglect will give
the lice such a start that it will require
long and persistent effort to control them.
SCALY LEGS.
. If your liens have rough, scaly legs,
dip their legs in a can of coal oil and lin
seed oil. mixed half and half. Ihe rough
ness is caused by a parasite boring under
the skin, and this treatment will kill
the parasite and make the legs clean and
smooth. If very rough, they may need
the treatment several times.

THE MODERN ANCONA
IS A SPLENDID FOWL
All writers agree on the original home
of the Ancona. The first history we have
of this remarkable breed is from Ancona,
which is a large town of Italy, on the
Adriatic sea, 1.14 miles northeast of Rome.
It is noted for its fine harbor adapted for
building and repairing ships. It is said
to have the finest marble arch in. the
world. Last, hut not least. It Is noted
as being the home of this great breed
of fowls About half a decade before this
town became a part of the Italian king
dom. Anconas were first introduced into
England, in the year where they
have gained great prominence In about
1890 they were imported into America.
They have made wonderful progress
against the strong competition of other
breeds. .'
The origin of the Ancona is not known
definilaly. - and there, is a difference of
opinion on This subject. Some, claim one
thing and some another. Slost breeders
agree that they have Black Leghorn blood.
To the average breeder it matters little
what blood lines they have, so I will not
discuss this matter. It is results that
count, and it is their remarkable qualities
we wish to discuss.
Color of the Birds.
Their feathers are black with a while
tip. The ideal feather must be of a green
ish sheen with a V shaped white tip with
dark undercolor, the white portion being
clear and distinct. The defective points
most common have been white feathers
in tail and wings, with light- undercolor.
By scientific breeding these have been
greatly reduced in many of the better
flocks. In fact, splendid birds with dark
undercolor, dark wings and tall are be
coming quite common at the largest
shows. In these specimens the predomi
nant fault is the lack of mottling In some
parts of the body, generally on the back.
As in all black varieties purple barring
is found, and Is objectionable. The beak
should be yellow with black or dark brown
shadings. The iris of the eye is a bright
orange red with a hazel pupil. The face
and wattles are a bright red, with the
face free from white Ear-lobes are white
or creamy white, although some red Is
'found in the ear-lobes of some of the
birds, in nearly all flocks. The Engl"-
breeders favor yellow mottled legs The
American Standard calls for yellow or
yellow mottled. In some flocks where
good dark birds are found. I have noticed
that the mottling on the legs is a little
uneven and a trifle dark, but I have seen
: ome very handsome dark birds with ele
gant yellow legs, which is a feature much
desired.
Shape of Standard Anconas.
Anconas belong to the Mediterranean
class and are of two varieties. Rose and
Single Comb, the only difference between
the'two being In the style of comb.
The male is very alert and strikingly
erect in carriage. His neck is long and
nicely arched, while the female's Is me
dium long and carried well up. The
breast is full, broad and carried well up
ward. The male's tail Is full and carried
low. while the female's tail is neat and
carried well out The proper angle has
been hard for the majority of breeders
to obtain. The inclination has been for
tails to stand too erect. This Is especial
ly true of the males; in fact, their high
tails bordered on the dreaded "squirrel
tail." 1 am glad to say that, this haj
yielded, like other faults, to skillful breed
ing We now have many beautiful males
as well as females, with tails at an angle
of about 45 degrees, which is considered
ideal The English fancier has been
breeding a comb with five to seven serra
tions, the blade following the lines of the
neck On this point the American breed
ers differ more than any other. The ideal
comb In this country has five serrations,
wltlij the blade leaving the neck at the
head and curving upward.
Something of Their Habits.
You ask me what are their faults? We
know all breeds have their faults, and
Anconas are not without theirs. Their
only fault is their wildness and this trait
has been discussed and dwelt on at such
length by Ancona writers that it has been
much exaggerated. Would you consider
any fowl that can lie yarded successfully
with fences live or six feel high very wild ''
You say "No." I have seen dozens of
tin ora y ards, ami have tw seen one witli
,i feme over six feet lligh. and many,with
lower fences
A doctor in New York state wrote me
on rc'-ript of some birds that he was sur
prised io find Anconas -o tame The gen
eral has a wrong con-’eptmn of the
wildner-s of Amonas. I do not wish to
tmp|v that the? air tame like Brahma"-,
but I do wish to g<;rtc< ' the general mt
presslon that Anconas are extrejpeli wild.
THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEWS. SAT I h’DAY. JUNE 22. 1912.
They are active and can fly. but are not
the wildest birds, by any means. They
seem to recognize promptly the presence
of any strangers in their parks and. are
apt to resent the intrusion with a demon-,
stration that would have been absent, had
the attendant entered along with his feed
pail.- fin such occasions Anconas are so
friendly that they frequently fly upon
thelp attendants’ arms or feed pan and
insist on eating out of the pan.
When I started to breed Anconas. my
wife was not enthusiastic, but the beau
ty of these handsome birds attracted her
attention, and as the months and years
have passed, her admiration has grown
for our beautiful birds. She now enjoys
an occasional visit In the. parks, and is
.capable of pointing out high scoring birds.
She always takes much pleasure in vis
iting them in their winter quarters. Their
winter home is a scene of activity. They
scratch in the straw and sing and. give
an abundance of eggs.
As m.v wife -steps inside of the pens,
she has been amused to see some of the
more friendly, ones iperch themselves on
her arms and shoulders-. Now do these
little incidents I have told at such length
Indicate that these birds are very wild?
Their Utility Qualities.
They’ are a fine fowl for the specialist
to test his skill on. The contrast of
black and white in their plumage makes
them very beautiful. They are very alert
and striking in carriage and are very’
graceful; indeed, they present such a
splendid appearance that they seem to
be on dress parade at all times.
Both varieties (Rose and Single Combi
of Anconas are hardy and prolific. The
females are non-sitters. few of them
showing a tendency to broodiness, and so
are especially valuable as egg producers.
Anconas are known as egg machines.
They lay a large, white egg and many
pullets lay at four and a half months of
age. Four Ancona hens have the wonder
ful record of laying 928 eggs in twelve
months By proper breeding. Anconas
have, increased their egg record since then
to the wonderfill figure of 270. which is
a positive trapnest record. In foreign
government tests Anconas rank first.
Captain James W. Perrin, of Alabama,
wrote me a few weeks ago as follows:
“A pullet I purchased has laid 60 eggs
in 61 consecutive days and 78 eggs in 82
consecutive days, and is still busy." I
ani informed by the editor of a prominent
poultry journal that this is the world's
record
They are meeting all the requirements
of the city fancier and the farmer as well
Speaking from my own experience, I will
state that at this time of the year, when
the price of eggs is high, I find that my
neighbors' large Rocks have gone on their
vacation some time back, while my faith
ful flocks continue to fill our egg baskets
very generously.
The demand for Anconas Is growing
very rapidly . Since 1 have been breeding
them. I have been raising larger num
bers each year. I planned to raise enough
to meet the heavy demand each season,
but so far have not been able to raise
enough of these great layers.
Breeding pens should consist of ten to
fifteen females to one male, although I
have seen some breeders allow twenty
females to every male with good re
sults.
<>n account of their hardiness, the gen
era I fertility is strong. I have shipped
eggs 3.000 miles and I'o per gent hatched.
I frequently get 100 per cent from eggs
hatched near by.
Reasons for Selecting Anconas.
Hero arc five reasons for selecting An
conas ;
First, they are one of the greatest lay
ers In poultrydom
Second, they appeal to the admiration
of true fanciers on actoufif of their hand
some feathers.
Third, their meat is sweet and juicy,
making them a good table fowl, although
they are not as large as the heavier
breeds
Fourth., they are active, hardy and
easy to rear; are great foragers and ca
pable picking up a large portion of
their living when given free range.
Fifth, the chickens are attractive, ac
tive an-l easy to raise.
They do not bring as much as some of
the heavier fowl when sold for table pur
poses; but they do not eat as much and
lay many more egg'- Ml writers and
breeders agree that "It's the hen that
lays that pays.” or 'hat the profit comes
from the < kb- < 'e.aslopaly we ma? find

GROWING CHICKS
NEEDYOUHWORK
Devote Greater Part of Your
Time to Those That Show
Promise.
As you look over your flock of growing
youngsters, my beginner of limited poul
try experience, you can form quite a cor
rect idea of what your poultry harvest
will be. If you have studied the Standard
requirements of your breed, or, in some
way, intelligently Informed yourself of
the quality which entitles a bird to be
called a "really fine specimen" of its
breed, you will now be able to single out
frotn among their fellows, the ones that
show promise of future excellence Even
though the growing chicks may be at
their most awkward stage of develop
ment, the experienced eye can readily
discern budding beauty of form, eye,
comb and plumage. Fortunate fit the
breeder who has many such youngsters
in the flock; and, no matter how hot the
weather, or how indisposed to exertion
he or she may be during this summer
weather, it is well worth while to do
everything possible to help nature in the
best development of such birds.
I know It is a temptation to turn from
poultry tasks to the hammock swinging
so invitingly in the shade of the trees,
where the interesting book may be en
joyed, but duty—even though hard and
distasteful at times—should come before
pleasure. .One need not have much or
hard work to do in houses or yards dur
ing the heat of the day, if the work is
properly planned. The early morning
hours are pleasant, as is also the evening
after sunset, and one edn arrange to do
the more trying tasks at this time.
The most insistent and necessary de
mand of our fowls, old and young, in the
interest of their health, comfort, and
most perfect condition of plumage, is per
fect cleanliness In houses, coops, brooders
and yards. I know this is an old, old
story: that you have heard this exhorta
tion to cleanliness ever since you became
Interested in poultry, but. my beginner,
the secret of many a successful breeder's
enviable Income from poultry Is perfect
cleanliness in the quarters of the birds.
if your growing youngsters have well
ventilated houses that are at all times
kept clean and sweet and have regular
meals of good food with plenty of fresh
water and grit obtainable, then will they
he healthy. In splendid vigor, and make
rapid growth. Such care will result In
proud carriage, bright eyes, red combs
and faces’, and clean, smooth, glossy
plumage at maturity. The hot summer
sun that causes us such discomfort when
we are compelled to be out under its
burning rays without any protection
therefrom, is also trying on our fowls,
old and young
If there are no trees or shrubbery in
their yards or runs to afford shade, then
we should make a shade for them. A
frame may be placed on four posts in
some part of each runway where the
ground may be made loose for the much
enjoyed dust bath, and this frame cov
ered witn canvas, old pieces of carpet,
or even with burlap. It only takes a few
minutes to prepare such a retreat from
the summer sun, and oh, the many hours
of real enjoyment each bird passes there
rolling in the dust!
Some of those youngsters may. with
right care, win high honor in the show
room the coming winter, so let us do our
best 'to further lhe accomplishment of
such a happy possibility. Good blood is
of great importance, but unsupported by
good and Intelligent care amounts to lit
tle.
ably find ten making money on laying
flocks.
It has been demonstrated that Anconas
require less attention to produce eggs
than other fowls. Many owners of small
flocks spend considerable time in feed
ing. by mixing hot and cooked mashes,
frequently adding dope to force egg pro
duction This is i bjectlonahle fort»,
reasons: First, it Is not practical for
owners of large flocks to mix and feed
warm mashes because II takes too much
time Second, forcing is a violation of
the laws of nature and injures the laying
organs of the fowl Almost any breed
will produce eggs under these conditions,
bu' Muonas do not make such extrav
aganf demand - on their owners, but will
produce eggs liberally without mashes
The? -’land confinement and cold weather
well, and cold wee liter seems tn have lit
tle effect on their egg production.
