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 the culling of pallets begins when they, are about six weeks old. Os course it is impossible to determine at that age the pullets that eventually will be kept, but we can cull out all that are undersized, lack vigor or show'tiny signs of weakness. In this 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 bowses* In flocks of 75 to a 100 to each house. Thg houses are of various sizes, being for the most part constructed of tvaste 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 the 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 at the end for the chickens to go in and out. Roofs ape cov 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 trie 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 anil have the pullets .laying at an abnormally early age. It can be 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 the! ■ 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’ ij equal parts of wheat and cracked corn fed in deep litter. In the afternoon the grain used is oats, corn and a little wheat, tn the hoppers before, the pullets at all times is a mixture of bran and dried beef 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 ipatter 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 cheek. 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 clean ing the houses daily, whitewashing them frequently' and painting the perches with lice paint, we have little trouble with the pest: but to keep them in check we must keep everlastingly at it twelve months in the year. A few weeks' neglect will give the Hee such a starj that It will require long and persistent effort to control them. SCALY LEGS. If your hens have rough, scaly legs, dip their legs in a can of coal oil and lin seed oil,'mixed half and half The rough ness is caused by a parasite boring under the skin, and this treatment will kill the parasite and make the leg-* clean and smooth If very rough, they may need the treatment several times.

Bex 14, 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. 134 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, but 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 1852, w’here 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' definitely and there is a difference of opipipn.on. ttij»"Subject.:.. Some claim one thing and some another. Most breeders agree that they have Black Leghorn-blood., To tlie 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 white 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 tn 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 some very handsome dark birds with ele gant yellow legs, w'hlch 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 bard 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.” I an; glad to say that tjiis ha 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 lias 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, with 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 l.as been discussed and dwelt on at such length by Ancona writers that it has been much exaggerated. Would you consider any fowl that can be yarded successfully w ith fences five ro six feet high very wild" You say "No." I have seen dozens of Ancona yards, and have not seen one w ith a fence over six feet high, and many with lower fences A doctor in New York state wrote me on receipt of some birds that he was sur prised to find Anconas so tame The gen eral public has a wrong conception of the wildness of Anconas 1 do not wish to imply that they are tame like Brahmas, but I do wish to correct <the general tm pression that AnconsL are extremely wild. .iHE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AM) NEWS. SATCRDAY. JTTNE W, 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. Oh such occasions Anconas are so friendly that they frequently fly upon their attendants’ arms or feed pan and Insist on eating out of the pan. When 1 started to breed Anconas, my wife was hot enthusiastic, but the beau ty of these handsome birds attracted her attention, and as the month# 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 my wife steps inside of the pens, she has been amused to see some of the more friendly ones perch 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 tn be on dress parade at all times. Both varieties gßose 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 wonderful figure of 270. which is a positive trap-nest record In foreign government tests Anconas rank first. Captain James W Terrln. 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 am informed by the editor of a prominent poultry journal that, this is the world's record. They are meeting al! 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 Hocks have gone on their vacation some time hack, while my faith ful flocks continue to fill our egg baskets very generously. The demand for Anconas is growing very rapidly. Since I 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 a !e to raise enough of these great layers. Breeding pens should consist of ten to fifteen females to one male, although 1 have seen some breeders allow twenty females to every male with good re sults. On account of their hardiness, the gen ergl fertility is strong. I have shipped eggs 3,000 miles and 90 per qent hatched. I frequently get 100 per cent from eggs hatched near by. Reasons for Selecting Anconas. Here are five reasons for selecting An cona s: First, they are one of the greatest lay ers In poultrydom. Second, they appeal to the admiration of true fanciers on account of their hand some feathers. Third, their meat is sweet and juicy, making them a good fable 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 of picking up a large portion of their living when given free range. Fifth, the chickens are attractive, ac tive and 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 eggs All writers and breeders agree that "It's the hen that, lays that pays," or that the profit comes from the eggs Occaslonaly we may find a farm paying dividends that makes a specialty of raising table fowls, but It is a rare case to find an egg farm that does not pay a profit. Where one roan makes money selling table fowls you will prob- GROWING CHICKS NEEDYOURM 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 from 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 ami plumage. Fortunate is 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. 1' 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. Ofte 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 can 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 be 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 cbmpelled 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 w ith < anvas, 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 the 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 objectionable for tw». reasons: First, it is not practical for owners of large flocks to mix and feed warm mashes because it 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, hut Anconas do not make such extrav agant demands on their owners, but will prodine eggs llberallx without mashes -They stand confinement and cold weather well, and cold weather seems to have lit tie effect on their egg production.
