LATE SUMMER WORK IN POULTRY YARD
A String of White Wyandotte Hena.
Experience proves every day that alfalfa chopped very fine or ground and mixed with otber feed is very beneficial for laying hens.
Sell off all the cockerels now, but first stuff tbem for at least two weeks before taking them to market.
If you have never used a curtain In the poultry bouse, try It this winter. Get everything ready before cold weather comes on.
The natural feed of fowls la insects and worms and dry grain. Wet mash bas had its day.
It la poor business to ever send a lean fowl to market.
Spade up every foot of the poultry yard before tbe ground freezes. Aft¬ er the hens bave raked It over, smooth It down with a rake roller leaving no depressions in mucb puddles can form.
Do not send poultry into winter quarters without flrst thoroughly dis¬ infecting tbem. Whitewash and spray with carbolic acid or kerosene.
It is our plan to take out every roost and loose part of tbe poultry bouse la the falLand replace it with new material.
Whenever a poultry house is cleaned and nest boxes and fixtures are re¬ moved, they should all be burned en¬ tirely or held over a fiame of straw to destroy every Insect that crawls.
Too many poultry raisers study care
TO MARKET WITH OLD HENS
Nonproducers Have No Place In Up- to-Date Poultry Plant That Is Run for Profit.
tBy J. G, IIAIyPIN, Wisconsin Agricul¬ tural CoIleKc)
Next In Importance to "Death or Captivity to the Rooster," the summer¬ time slogan of the poultryman should be: "To Market With the Old Hens." For certainly the nonproducers have no place In the scheme of things in an up-to-date poultry plant that Is run for profit and not for pleasure alone.
Hens over two years old begin to de¬ cline in producing power. They rarely lay as many eggs as In their pullet and yearling stages. Providing that tbey bave been marked with a toe punch In the days of tbeir youth, de¬ tection of the aged "matrpns" will be a comparatively easy matter.
Before tbe old hens, tbe surplus young stock and the male birds are sent away to market, they should be kept in a small pen at least two weeks to increase their weight.
A suitable ration for this period con¬ sists of three parts cornmeal, one part middlings or low-grade flour and one part bran, with enough skim milk add¬ ed to make a crumbly mash. Tbe owner should never forget to provide fattening fowls with plenty of pure water during the warm days. Feed all the birds will eat twice a day aud allow access to a supply of cracked corn.
GOOD HOUSING OF CHICKENS
To Induce Early Laying Pullets Should Be Put In Permanent Quarters
.'Before Maturity. ,
fBy A. C. SMITH.)
Remember that most cases of colds and roup are incurred in the fall be¬ cause the birds are not housed as early as they should be. Fowls are timid In new quarters and are prone to crowd and huddle together on the roosts and drop boards. In this way they become overheated at night only to be chilled when they separate In the morning. It Is an excellent plan, therefore, to house a few at flrst and as soon as tbey feel at home add a few more until the pen has received its capacity.
It Is an accepted fact that any change In location affects the laying stock, therefore in order to induce early laying tbe pullets sbould be put in permanent winter quarters two or three weeks before they are expected to mature.
Weak Onea Crowded Out. Never allow chicks of all agea to run together. The stronger and larg¬ er ones will get most of tbe food and will flght and crowd the weaker ones till, if tbey do live, they will never amount to anything.
Qood for All Poultry. Sweet milk, sour milk and butter¬ milk are all good for growing chicks and fowls, aa well as turkeys, ducks and K^ese, but sbould be giren in clean diahea and not allowed to become tainted.
and feeding too mucb and marketing too Uttle.
What profits It a man if he raises a fine lot of chicks and then allows tbe middleman to get tbe biggest end of the profits?
At the present high prices of corn and wheat the poultry raiser who has to buy all of his feed must study how to cut close corners or he will lose out.
If you keep guineas, turkeys and chicks, build separate houses and yards for them. If you confine all three varieties In one yard during tht winter, It will prove disastrous.
We do not believe in a tisht poultry house. Leave the front entirely open. Even If there is no curtain, fowls will seldom suffer except In abnormally cold weather.
More fowls die from bad air than from cold weather.
The broiler business is all right for tbose who make a close study of It, but the careless man or woman will do better to stick to eggs.
Ducks may be plucked two or three times during the lirst season without interfering with their growth.
Some people have yet to learn that ducklings and goslings must bave wa¬ ter at hand when fed, because they always drink as they eat, taking a few mouthfuls of feed and then a sip of water.
FOOD REQUIREMENTS OF HEN
Plentiful Supply of Pure, Fresh Water
Is of Utmost Importance—Ash
Is Also Needed.
(By J. B. JEFFREY.) The hen needs food to sustain life; to build up, develop and repair waste tissues; and to supply beat and energy for the proper functioning of the body. Wbat Is fed above these needs goes to the production of meat or eggs. The composition of the hen's body will vary with her condition, but may be said to contain about 55 per cent wa¬ ter, 22 per cent protein, 17 per cent fat, and four per cent ash. An egg contains about 66 per cent water, 12 per cent protein, ten per cent fat and 12 per cent ash. Of tbe ash, practical¬ ly all but about one per cent is from the shell.
A glance at these flgures shows one the Importance of a plentiful supply of pure, fresh water. Water is not food, but without water food Is of no use to the fowl. Animals as well as plants must have tlieir food in solution before they can use it. When the food is digested It is taken up by the blood, which circulates through the body, nourishing and replenishing it Next to water, protein is the food ele¬ ment found In tbe largest amount, both in the hen and in tbe egg. This ele¬ ment builds up the body and repairs the waste tissues. Protein, although the principal nutrient used for a tissue builder, can also be used to take the place of carbohydrates and fat If these are not sufficiently supplied in the ra¬ tion. It is not economy, however, to have tbls take place, as tbe protein Is more expensive than the carbohydrates or fat.
Carbohydrates, which are principal¬ ly starches, sugars, organic acids and pentosans, are used to produce heat and energy. They are the fuel and are very necessary in the ration and form the largest part of It. Fats have, to a great extent, the same function as car¬ bohydrates. Fats act as a storehouse for surplus supplies on wblch the fowl can draw when necessary. Ash or min¬ eral matter is also needed for tbe bones of the fowls and for the shell of ttae eggs.
POINTS OF PROFITABLE FOWL
Sign of Good Health and In Laying
Condition Is Plump, Red Comb
and Bright Watties.
If the comb of tbe taen is plump and red, and the face and wattles of a bright coldr, It is a ^ood sign tbat sbe Is in health and laying condition.
If confined at such a time she will show great restlessness, wonderful ac¬ tivity and be full of business wben at liberty. She will be on ttae alert at every sound or motion.
On ttae otber hand. If ttae comb ap¬ pears stariveled, or ttae edges of tbe comb and wattles are of a purplista red, atae will be Ustleas, sleepy and aluggista In her movementa.
In such a caae sbe Is out of condi¬ tion and is etttaer sick or likely to b« before very long.
