Take Care With
Breeding Birds
Care And Management Of
Breeding Birds Plays An
Important Part In The
Success Of Any Poultry
Project
The care and management of
breeding birds is an importani
factor governing the fertility of
their eggs and the livability of
the chicks secured.
Thus'the future of a flock depends
a great deal on the proper
handling and feeding of breeding
birds, said C. J. Maupin, extension
poultryman at State College.
He gave the following suggestions
for poultrymen who are
breeding and raising their own
chicks"?
uirrfs healthy and
lYfCl' '
vigorous, provide clean houses,
keep houses well ventilated, keep
birds free from parasites, change
the litter often to avoid filth.
Give the birds a clean yard
and range, avoid overcrowding,
supply green feed when possible,
feed milk in some form, and provide
oyster shell or limestone
apjt.
~ See that the birds get plenty
of sunshine, and do not keep
breeders in service too long. The
older the birds, after the first
year or two, the lower is the
quality and fertility of their
eggs.
The heavier birds decline rapidly
after the first year, but the
lighter varieties are good for a
vear or so longer. If a bird is
an exceptionally good breeder, it
may be profitably kept in service
for a year or more beyond
the customary service period.
Milk, alfalfa, legume meals,
and fresh greens contain vitamins
needed by the breeding
birds. Cod liver oil or some other
source of vitamin D tends to
increase the hatchability of the
eggs produced.
From 10 to 12 pounds of grain
a day should feed each 100 birds
in cold weather, but in the spring
the amount may be decreased.
Beautiful Homes
Mould Character
Specialist Says That The
Home-Maker Who Can
Make The Most Of Whai
She Has is A True Artisl
Beauty in one's surroundings
becomes a part of one's life
character, and personality. II
should not be set apart for onlj
occasional enjoyment.
The homemaker who can select
and arrange furnishings to maks
a room beautiful is an artist
said Miss Pauline Gordon, ex
tension specialist in home mam
agement at State College.
"If your home has charm anc
distinction, it must be comfort
able and convenient, soothing t<
the mind and productive of ar
inner contentment," she stated.
"Have you ever entered a roon
that has gaudy-flowered walls
showy lace curtains, bright rugs
over-decorated vases and lamps'
What type of person do you ex
pect to find living in such i
room?
"And what kind of people d(
you think would live in a roon
with soothing ivory walls, sof
mellow lights, rugs with subdue<
and harmonious coloring, quie
draperies, comfortable chairs ii
front of a fire, plenty of books
and a few good pictures?"
If your home is to be pleasan
and attractive, it must be "home
like," Miss Gordon pointed out
The woman who has a home o
charm must make it livable.
Do not overcrowd a room wit!
furniture, or hang pictures al
over the walls. Objects whicl
have no practical use should b
placed in a room only when need
ed to bring in color and interest
Furnishings should be groupe
for convenience. In the livinj
room should be a place for con
versauon, a piace lor reaumj
with adequate, well shaded lights
a place for writing, and mayb
a place for singing or playin
music. The room as a whol
snould be restful and pleasant.
