Laying Strain Is
Essential to
' Success
A familiar question in poultry cir
cles is: "Do fowls pay?” says a writer
in American Poultryman. As a mat
ter of fact, similar questions might be
asked with regard to other professions
and trades, and w'e should always find
some dissatisfied person in every busi
ness. <
When poultry farming is taken up as
living, great patience, strength and
iterprlse must be put into the con
cern. Many people like poultry, and
are always admiring them when seen
at their best, but when it comes to
managing them and knowing how to
make the most profit out of their birds,
.such hen lovers are utterly at sea.
However, one of the many items
hieh go to make poultry profitable is
to build up a laying strain. It is not
too early to pick out the birds which
■ ill make up the breeding pen next
season. The best layers must only be
selectd, and a great aid to securing
such birds is to use the trap nest, as
this device soon weeds out the work
ers from the drones.
Easy To Pick Good Lsysrs.
Good layers can also be selected by
outward signs, and it is wise to look
for them by this method also. The reg
ular layer wll always be on the move,
early and late, searching for insect life
and other tit-bits. Its comb, face, and
lobes will be very red, and its eyes will
have that clear sparkle which denotes
that birds are in the pink of condition.
The feathers will also be very bright
and glossy and not ruffled, and if the
bird ’be handled the flesh will be hard
and firm, possessing not an ounce of
superfluous fat.
When we come to the drones, what
do we find? These specimens are al
ways lazying about, always last out in
the morning, and in flrst at night, yet
ready at any time to consume as much
>ft food as would extend their crop to
an abnormal degree. They never go
about over the stubble in search of in
sect life, and always seem lifeless. They
lack that sparkle in the eye. their combs
and lobes are anything but red, and
their feathers are dull and ruffled.
When handled they are found to have
flabby flesh and layer after layer of
Beware the Drones.
Such specimens as these should never
constitute the breeding pen, but rather
placed in the pot.
The male bird should be a typical
sized bird of correct shape, and should
be about two years old if young pul
’."ts are to be mated with him. Again,
those specimens that lay an egg of nor
mal size regular should also be taken
notice of; but, of course, the eggs must
not be of abnormal uize, as such birds
are not always best to use tn the breed
ing pen.
If birds are selected year after year
possessing good qualities such as we
have named, then a laying strain can
-non be got together, provided close in
breeding is carefully guarded against.
If only poultry keepers could see the
■Uue of making up a laying strain of
their own, by selecting the best indf
duals each year, then we are sure we
mould hear less complaints about the
rrcity of eggs. If. however, haphaz-
• d in-breeding is carried on year after
■ ar and fresh stock is never intro
duced, then one can only expect a bad
result, and in the end absolute failure.
If the best layers are picked out of
the birds at the present time, and
placed in pens of their own while the
’ asters are cleared out of the way. then
• hen the time comes around for mat
ing we shall be able to mate them up
vith some amount of satisfaction, and
knowing at the same time that a good
Percentage of chicks will be hatched
and reared of tip-top quality, and not
uose measly looking, half-feathered
oug-. els which one too often sees walk
ing about the farm yard.
KEEP GOOD CHICKENS.
1 he farmers who are careless regarding
be- kinds of fowls to keep, pay well for
’heir indifference. They may content
themselves with the belief that "one fowl
!s as good as another,” but they are gov
erned by old customs and usages Instead
t experience. Compared with common
: 'Wls, the pure breeds are more useful;
’hey lay more eggs: some varieties come
o maturity sooner; they are far more
Het generally; at maturity the cockerels
■ake line birds, and the pullets good win
ter layers. Flocks of common kinds
noticed on some farms cause loss to their
•.ners and are a drawback to any farm
■n these days of progress and improve
ment. It costs but little to begin with
uure breeds, and in one year the farmer
■an have a handsome flock of nice,
thrifty, useful breeders that will give sat
isfaction and pay liberally for their keep
ing. .
A FIELD FOR WOMEN.
There is no field open to women today
■at is less crowded than the poultry
• Id; none that offers as good returns for
he's labor; none that affords so much
freedom when taken as a vocation, and
ne that makes one so nearly independ
ent of others. Some of our best planned
ultry farms, as well as our best paying
: es. are the outgrowth of woman's skill
und Ingenuity In planning and her finan-
>1 ability In conducting the enterprise
■lost women show a qualification for
neatness about poultry, of which men are
occasionally void, and as cleanliness is an
portant factor, she often outstrips our
■rds of creation” in results obtained.
The care of poultry is productive of good
‘alth to women engaged therein, giving
eni sufficient exercise in the open air,
■■■;<! just enough care and responsibility
• make their work interesting and to
ke them feel their Importance. The
■ld for woman is almost unlimited, and
pays her better profits than she can
st rutHy expect from most "ther bust- |
ventures.
Plenty of Good Food For Chickens—But
There has been many a good laying hen or pullet sent to
her last resting place long before her time. Stimulants have
been the cause of much loss along this line.
Many farmers, villagers and poultry raisers in
general seem predisposed to dope their hens. **
If there is nothing the matter with them they
try to imagine that there is, or they fear there
will be, and in order to prevent it they give
them a course of Dr. Henpeck’s Condition Pow
ders, guaranteed to cure any disease under the
sun in horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, dogs and
poultry. It will make hens lay whether they
are ready for the work or not.
If the hen were given her choice she would
not eat the stuff, but she is given no alterna
tive, for it it mixed right into her good feed so
that it is eat or starve.
There is no question but what many of these
tonic medicines force laying for a time, but
they soon wear out and the hen does too.
out iuiu me nen does too.
Her appetite fails; she becomes sluggish and in many cases
jast simply goes down and out and can never be brought up to
the laying point again.
It is just as it is with the man
who must take a tonic of some
kind before every meal in order
to digest it, as he thinks. The
sooner we get rid of this dosing
idea for our hens the more suc
cessful we will be with them. We
will get more eggs the year
through, and we will have a much
healthier flock of ehickens. Very
few of the poultrymen who man
age large flocks of chickens use
tonics, medicines or laying com
pounds. They have tested them
out and found them worse than
good for nothing.
It ik the small poultry raiser that
does all this experimenting. He thinks
he can see a short cut to wealth or
success and tries it out along various
condiment routes. But one is about as
useless as another, or rather one is
about as harmful as the other. Let us
cut them all out and depend upon real
good clean, wholesome food-something
LIVE POULTRY NOTES
Don’t be discouraged or disgusted if
every chick you hatched last spring does
not turn out a perfect specimen of the
breed, but rather be satisfied if one-third
of the chicks hatched develop into really
good specimens. Even the most careful
matings of the best blood will throw a
few more or less inferior specimens.
Common sense is better in the poultry
yard than knowledge gained from books.
Valuable things may be learned from
| books and papers, but knowledge must be
sensibly applied in order to be effective.
Every poultry breeder should study his
business in order to be ready for the
emergencies that are certain to arise
sooner or later.
There ought to be more ducks ?nd
geese raised on the farms of this country.
Water to swim in Is not so essential us
many suppose, although either ducks or
geese enjoy an occasional swim. There
is good profit in a flock of geese, as they
will pick up a good portion of their living
on the farm If allowed to roam.
The fellow who has a flock of early
hatched pullets will reap a harvest this
winter. It is the early hatched pullet
that fills the winter egg basket, and It is
predicted that eggs are to reach almost
unheard-of prices. Take good care of
both the pullets and hens from now on
and see that they go into winter quarters
in the best possible condition.
If the poultry house needs repairing,
get busy at once and get the work done
before the nights become cold. A little

SAY HE HAS FOUR WIVES
CHICAGO. Nov. 23. —Chicago police
declare they expect to show that Wil

They say they know he had at least
four wives, though the two Chieagc"
women are the only ones they have
been able to And.
Search among his correspondence re
vealed the fact that his plan was to ad
vertise for a wife. The police say they
know a dozen women who answered his
advertisements in matrimonial papers.

CREOSOTE; ALMOST DIES
MACON, GA., Nov. 23.—Oscar Thom
as, a railroad employee, almost died as
the result of a dose of com liquor and
creosote which he took for an ailment
upon the advice of a friend. Thomas
was found on the street in a dazed con
dition and was arrested on a charge of
drunkenness. When he recovered suf
ficiently to appear before the recorder
he produced his bottle of corn liquor
and creosote, and explained that he had
drank a half pint of it. The man’s case
was dismissed, with the advise to con
sult a physician in the future.

search for a variety at all times, which
will be of infinitely more benefit than
all the egg-producers in christendom.
Change the feed. See that an abund
ance of green food is furnished at all
times, as it is one of the essentials to
good health and an abundance of eggs.
Examine all feedstuff in the shape of
meal or grain to see that it ts not
musty or spoiled in any manner. This
can best be detected by the sense of
smell. Musty feed will put chickens
in the dumps quicker than one can
imagine. It upsets the digestion. If
one can do no better than to feed it,
it can be greatly improved by heating
it thoroughly in an oven, stirring fre
quently. This will dispel much of the
mould and correct the trouble to ;>
great extent. Give all your chickens,
both old and young, a feed of cooked
vegetables occasionally. Beets, turnips,
carrots, potatoes, etc., one, or all mixed,
just as is most convenient. All kinds
of small or cut vegetables. After they
are thoroughly cooked, stir some bran
or meal into the mess, feeding while
warm, but not hot. Such messes are
great appetizers and conditioners. It
is the attention to the little tilings that
tends to promote health in our flocks.
crack in the walls of the poultry house is
liable to cause all kinds of trouble, espe
cially If it is hear the roosts. Fresh air
is a good thing for the poultry when prop
erly administered, but when sifted
through cracks and knotholes it is a dan
gerous proposition.

Artificial rearing becomes far easier
when the brooder can be located put of
doors, in some sheltered spot. The outer
section of the brooder, in which healthy
chicks are supposed to pass most of their
time, should be well littered, and the
chicks should have access to plenty of
sand. A little millet seed scattered in the
litter will keep them busy. Have at
tached to the brooders little runs made
of wire netting. The chicks should be al
lowed the use of the runs during the
warm part of the day. We can generally
tell by the appearance of the chicks
whether they are too warm or too cold.
Keep the chicks busily employed and
there is not much danger of
not agreeing with them. On the farm I
find it is a good idea to distribute the
coops over the fields near the house, at
some distance apart.
