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 a farm paying dividends that makes a specialty of raising table fowls, but if is a rare ease to find an egg farm that doe? not pay a profit Where one man makes money selling table fowls you will urob- 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.
