SAYS POULTRYMAN Long Life and Good Laying Qualities Count. By P»f. Jl C. Graham, Poultry Pepaill--lit. MMnchusetU Stat* College. WNU Service Poaltrymen need a change of style to breeding objectives. The inodel hen should be long lived as well as a good layer. The first'breeding of chickens was for fighting purposes. One of the an- • cestors of the Rhode Island Red, the :; . most popular breed In Massachusetts, i - was the Malay Red game bird. Birds ' bred for the fighting pit naturally were .rugged, strong blfds. From fighting ,. qualities, some of the poult^r breeders turned to size as the aim of their breeding work. Later, show type and color were f given the greatest prominence by leading breeders. Many new breeds and , varieties were developed in America during the period from 1870 to 1910, Since that time the trend has been toward higher egg production, with some attention given to increasing the slase of eggs. The efforts of breeders to increase production have progressed to the extent that in many of the better poultry flocks, no birds are used as * breeders unless they have produced at least 200 eggs during their pullet year. Accompanying this Increase In egg production there has been an alarming . increase in the mortality of pullets during the laying year. In the state eollege flock, records during the past laying season Indicate that more than 80 per cent of the deaths were caused by some body weakness, rather than , by infectious diseases. Carefully kept records in laying contests and at oth- . er agricultural colleges show the same general situation. The emphasis on show type and on high production over a period of years, to the neglect of vitality and energy, has resulted in a gradual decline in the durability of the average highly bre3 poultry flock. The modern hen doesn't Save the constitution to stand the strain of her own high production. The poultryman must correct this condition by locating the long lived families of hens in his fl^ck, and^using birds from those families as breeders and the foundation stock for his future flocks. Chick Brooding in Tents Costs Less Than Houses Chicks can be brooded successfully In tents instead of brooder botises in regions where the rainfall is light and early spring temperatures are above freezing, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. In experiments conducted at the department's poultry experiment station, Glendaie, Artx., there was somewhat less mortality In the chicks that were brooded in tents than In similar groups . to regular brooder houses. In most cases the tents required less beat for brooding, being warmer during the day though colder at night . The tests were of 96 days' duration and the brooders were heated by electricity. The estimated annual cost of the tents and equipment, including depredation and interest on Investment, was less than half that for the brood- K bouses. - Dressed Ducklings In order to have dressed ducklings sppear to the Best advantage and also to insure their keeping qualities as long as possible, It Is important that they should have no feed in their crops when they are killed. This means that if they are to be killed in the morning, which is the usual practice on commercial duck farms, the ducklings should be fed for the last time the previous night. If, however, they are to be killed In the afternoons, they can be fed lightly In the morning. The regulations regarding all dressed poultry for the market state that they shall have been starved for sufficient length of time before being killed to empty crops and intestines, during which time they should have access to. clean drinking water.--Montreal Herald. v 4 Feeding Chicks When feeding chicks, allow enough room for each bird. This fact is imperative for, If it is neglected, many bad practices result The feed should be placed in no-waste hoppers or in troughs on wire feeding platforms. One Inch of hopper space should be allowed for each chick and If this method is followed there will be sufficient room for half the chicks to eat at one time. Three or four drinking fountains should be placed around the stove to prevent crowding. TfiyAJnm THE II^NNS: LITTLE MILK IS * NEEDED FOR CALF Move the Brooder House One of the essential practices in growing healthy chicks is to move the brooder house to clean, fresh range. Vluch of the success In brooding chicks depends upon raising them on ground where hens or diseased chicks have not run for the last three years. To do this a portable brooder house is necessary. While portable houses can be equipped with runners, less damage will occur If the house Is placed Youngster Is Early Taught to Eat Hay and Grain. Although whole milk is often marketed leaving little skim-milk for feeding, it Is no longer necessary to be handicapped in raising at least enough calves on dairy farms to take care of replacements In the herd. ITor feeders and animal husbandmen have found that they can raise thrifty calves successfully and use only about 375 pounds of salable whole milk in doing it. The general method- of feeding calves is practically the same for all dairy breeds, reports I. W. Rupel. In charge of the work at the Wisconsiin College of Agriculture. 'The calf is given a sUrt on whole milk for a few--wee*s £nd during this time is taught to eat hay and concentrates. Thrifty calves are then gradually taken off the milk and continued on con? centrates. hay, water and salt. But, in their experiments, Rupel and his associates have also found that one schedule was most successful for Holsteins and BrownjjSwiss. while another schedule had to be worked out for Ayrshires, Guernseys and Jerseys. The method the workers found best for the Holsteins and Brown Swiss was to leave the calf with the mother for three days and then to pail feed whole milk by gradually getting the calf to take, by the end of the first week, nine pounds until it was sis weeks old, and then the allowance was gradually reduced until, at the end of the seventh week, no milk was fed. The process for the other three breeds was slightly mqre complicated. The calves were left with the mother for three to four days and then were pail fed at the rate of six pounds dally for two weeks, when the amount was Increased to seven pounds dailj for five weeks. After the calves were seven weeks old, the milk was reduced gradually until at nine weeks no milk was fed. , " Because the calves must get along without milk, it was found that it is necessary that the feeds given be highly palatable and nutritious. The protein supply must be especially liberal, and so the concentrates need to cnrry a high proportion of protein rich feeds. The experts also found that the hay needs to be of the high; est quality obtainable, preferably clover or alfalfa. Dehorning Calves BeH Done While Still Young Th^best way to dehorn calves is to use caustic potash when the calves are about one week old. When the calf is a week old the horns may 6e detected as small buttons or scurs which are covered with hair. To remove the scurs, clip the balr over and around them, then take a stick of caustic potash, moisten It snd rub vigorously until the button gets red snd blood appears about to ooze through. The stick of potash should be wrapped in paper at one end 1•> that the hands of the operator are ).ot Injured and only a small amouqt of water should be used so that it will not run down over the calf s bead. If the water from the stick of caustic or from the horns Is allowed to run, it will either injare the eye» or take off the hair. If a small amount of vaseline is rubbed around the hair surrounding the buttons It will sld in preventing any Injury to the skin adjacent to the home. Calves should be kept in stanchions or separated from other calves while they are being treated and for a few days afterwards. Then any remaining caustic may be washed off and the place greased with oil. Inefficient Separator ' Is Extravagant Waste jicnr inefficient cream separator is an extravagant waste. Separators normally lose about .03 of 1 per cent of butterfat into the skim milk, but when the loss amounts to as much as 15 per cent, this excess makes itself sharply felt in the cream check. In a herd of twenty 400-pound cows, a separator out of adjustment to this extent would bring about a loss of something like 225 pounds of butterfat annually. Figure this at the prevailing prices for butterfat and tbe total is not to be sneezed at Through frequent tests of the separator this loss may be controlled. It is by stopping the small leaks that the dairyman can boost his margin of profit. Withholding Salt At tbe Wisconsin experiment sta tlon some milk cows, well fed otherwise, were given no salt for periods as long as a year. After two or three weeks the cows showed abnormal appetites for salt, but the health of the cows was not noticeably influenced for a much longer time. But finally a complete breakdown occurred, accompanied with complete loss of appetite, rough coat, and In both weight snd amount of given.
