WEEKLY POULTRY LESSON Under the Authoritative Direction of Prof. F. C. Elford Dominion Poultry Husbandmen With Specialized Information Contributed by G. W. Miller Author of Coldbelt Poultry Course. Registered in accordance DISPOSING OF SURPLU» COCKE To obtain the best results in rear- ing, the separation st the cockerels and pullets into two flocks should be carried out as soon as the sex can be detected. This js a simple matter with the light breeds, the cockerels of which develop distinctive charac- ters at an early stage. With a little practice it is also comparatively easy to distinguish a large proportion of the heavy-breed cockerels quite early. Squab Broilers. The size at which cockerels may best be marketed depends on the sea- son. In May and early June there is a good demand in the larger cities for squab broilers, that is cockerels weighing a pound to a pound and a quarter, Such birds, in good condi- tion, will bring 76c. to $1.25 each. As the season advances a weight of a pound and a half to two pounds is demanded, and the price per pound gradually lowers. The price for such birds, however, has not gone below 60c. for several years until August, when the supply becomes consider- ably greater, Demand is for More Weight in Fall. After August there is not much sale for broilers weighing under two pounds 'and the preference is for chicks weighing between two and a half and three pounds. These birds are known in the trade as "frys." The price for these varies consider- ably, but it is seldom that a three- pound cockerel will bring more in August or September than a pound- bird in May. It costs considerably more to rear the three-pound bird. Thus it pays to market the surplus young cockerels as soon as possible. There {s another economic advantage in selling off the cockerel as early as possible. It leaves more room for the pullets to thrive and grow in. Leghorns Make Best Broilers. No breed of poultry make better broilers than Leghorns. The young kerels carry more breast meat at this early age than do the cockerels of the heavier breeds. This is par- ticularly true if the birds are well fed. The heavy breeds, as a rule, are difficult to "plump out," or fat- ten, until they are nearing maturity. On the other hand, Leghorns make poor heavy broilers or roasters. They do not compare with Rocks, Wyan- dottes, or Reds In this respect. with the Copyright Act. the performance of this operation will be sent to any reader on request to the Editor of this paper.) A capon will bring more per pound than a cockerel, and, moreover, it may be held until a suitable market is found, as its flesh does not deteri- orate with age. It is a more un- economic practice to market cock- erels in the fall when the market is glutted with them. Special Feeding Before Killing. The practice of dry feeding .the growing chickens is becoming more and more prevalent. There is no better way of - feeding them for growth, normal development, and fecundity. But this method makes it entirely necessary that, before kill- ing, the cockerels should receive a short period of special feeding on wet mash. This greatly improves the edibility of their flesh. If it is not convenient to crate feed them, they should be put in restricted quarters, and for a day or two given but one feed of wet mash, increasing this thereafter to three feeds. Give the birds all they will eat wp in twenty minutes. The mash should be composed of oats, wheat and corn, equal parts, ground very fine, and mixed to a thin batter with buttermilk or sour skimmilk. -- Questions on This Week's Lesson. 1. What is a squab broiler? 2. When does it pay best to mar- xet surplus cockerels? 3. What are the advantages of caponizing? 4. Is it necessary to specially feed cockerels before killing for market? Answers to Last Week's Questions, 1. It is not correct to refer to a Barred Plymouth Rock as a breed. Barred Plymouth Rock is a variety | Bran, ton name of one branch of the Plymouth Rock breed, 2. The term "White Leghorn" re- fers to 'a variety of the Leghorn breed. Therefore the sentence should read: The White Leghorn variety is considered to be a splen- did "egg machine." ty 3. Breed is distinguished by shape, uever by color. There are several breeds which have varieties that are FALL FAIR DATES Alexandria . . . .Sept. 18 and 19 Almoaute. . ss os ..Sept. 16-18 Arden... .. .. .... ss +o Oct, 2 Afuprior.. .. .. .. . .Sept. 23-26 Bancroft. .....
