POULTRY TIPS
FOR AUGUST
Poultrymen are asking the
question, “Why are my hens lay
ing soft-shell eggs even though
I keep oyster shell before them
at all times?” Answer: (1) If
hens are too hot, their blood
stream will not carry enough
calcium to make a strong shell.
Keep the hens in a cool place.
(2) If hens have had a cough or
wheeze, they could have had
bronchitis or New Castle disease,
either of which will cause hens
to lay eggs with soft shells, odd
shapes and watery whites. Noth
ing can be done to correct this
condition.
Poultry houses should be kept
open on the south side the en
tire year. PProvide ventilation m
summer on the north side above
the heads of the birds.
Furnish hens plenty of green
feed in summer in addition to
laying mash, scratch, clean, cool
water, oyster shell ancr nutter
milk if you have it
August is the month to cull
thelaying flock heavily. Any hen
that stops laying should be sold.!
Get ready to sell all the old
hens and make room for the new
crop of pullets.
Sell or move the old hens in
time to clean up the laying

Never mix old hens and pul

Sell all roosters and produce
only infertile eggs. Fertile eggs
spoil fast in hot weather.

Gather eggs three times each

Never sell a dirty egg.
High-priced feed is no excuse
for not feeding the pullets. Thev

The cost of growing good pul
lets is high, but the price of eggs
this fall and winter will more
than make up for the pullet cost
if they produce.

cut down on feed cost.
Kill a runty pullet and split
the intestine to check for round
worms. These worms are long,

PARENTHOOD
Plan Well for That
Vacation Away From Home
A long trip in the car may not,
j like the proverbial single swai-
I low, make a summer, but it has
| come to be, next to Christmas,
' almost the major recreational
! enterprise of the American fam
j ily. This summer touring is a
; fine habit we are forming. For
to live in one section of this
country and never know the oth
er sections—in a country so di
versified, so full of sectional in
terest, beauty and flavor as this
—is to be deprived of one’s birth
right. If the children are of an
age to profit by the educational
advantages of seeing the coun
try, months spent in background
reading story telling are not
too much preparation for the
trip. So the project becomes
really a year-around interest to
which every member of the fam
ily can contribute.
There are many different ways
of living en route camping,
spending the nights at auto
camps, the comfort of a hotel
with a few days stopover to see
the city sights—that I shan’t at
tempt to describe how you should
make the trip. But there are a
number of preliminaries which
will insure added comfort and j
safety for you and the children j
no matter how simply or how
luxurously you travel.
If you are taking an extensive
jaunt have the children checked
by your doctor a week or so be
fore you plan to start. And see
that they have extra rest and
no diet indulgance for at least a
week beforehand. A thoroughly
rested and well child can take
a lot more excitement and change
of routine than one who lacks
adequate physical and emotional
reserves.
Leave all your gypsy moods
until you hit the road where they
will come in handy in laughing
off small annoyances. Before
hand be as practical as you
know how, even to listing every
single item you’ll need for each
child and checking it off as it
is packed.
Children of all ages will need
to be amused for scenery will
, not interest them long at a time.;
Books, toys, crayons, just a few j
favorites will suffice. One moth
|er takes >long a cretonne shoe
bag with toys in the various
J pockets. This bag is hung from
! the robe rail so that the toys are
accessible without getting into
boxes or bags.
Once on the road don’t expect
the children to spend a full day
in the car. Stop every few hours
for a romp on the roadside, or xf!
