Quality Chicks Make
Good Poultry Flocks
No poultryman can develop a
flock of good layers from a brood
of inferior chicks.
Good chicks make good birds,
said Roy S. Dearstyne, head of
the poultry department at State
College, and good birds mak prof
itable flocks.
Some poultrymen can breed and
raise their own chicks with satis
factory results, he said, but most
flock owners in this state will find
it better to purchase chicks from
a reliable hatchery. '
The best chicks ' come from
disease-! ree parents, are true to
breed and develop into superior
layers. A carefully bred chick re
ceives from its parents certain
.characteristics which carry with
them the success or failure of the
poultryman.
Among the most vital factors
transmitted from parent to chick
are :
The ability to produce. A hen
laying 175 eggs a year costs no
more to keep than a bird pro
ducing only 100 eggs.
Egg size. The sie of the eggs
laid by a bird is a characteristic
coming directly from its. parents.
Large eggs bring better prices than
small ones.
Early feathering. Tis bears a
direct relation, to broiler prices,
as every poultryman attempting 'to
market poorly feathered birds has
discovered.
Early sexual maturity. Frequent
ly the well bred Reds or Rocks
will come into production 60 days
sooner than inferior birds, thus
giving 60 days extra production.
Give these things serious con
sideration when breeding or pur
chasing chicks for the coming year,
Dearstyne urges.

Pork-Curing Now On
Scientific Basis
"Take the guess work out of
meat-curing if you want to have
a well preserved supply of pork
this winter and next spring.
"The curing process has been re
duced to a science," said R. E.
Nance, professor of animal hus
bandry at State college, "and there
is no need for any farm to lose
its meat through spoilage."
After the hogs have been killed
and dressed, he said, the carcasses
should be split down the center
of the backbone, the leaf fat loos
ened from the lower end of the
ribs, and the meat hung in a smoke
house to chill over night. Do not
let the meat freeze.
The next morning, trim all ragged
edges from each cut; wash out
and thoroughly scald the con
tainers in which the meat is to be
cured. Oak barrels or large stone
jars make good curing vessels.
The many methods of curing
meat are variations of either the
brine cure or the dry salt cure.
The latter is considered more
satisfactory in the 'South.
Be sure that all animal heat
has escaped from the meat before
the curing process is started. The
temperature of the curing room
should be kept between 34 and 40
degrees;, if possible.
In the dry cure, Nanc recom
mends for each 100 pounds of
meat a mixture of 8 pounds of
salt, three ounces of saltpeter,
and three pounds of sugar, brown
preferred.
Rub half the mixture on the
meat, then pack it in the contain
er skin side down, but turn the
skin side up on the top layer.
Seven days later, repack the meat
and rub on the remainder of the
curing mixture.
4 After each piece of meat has
cured three days for each pound
of weight, wash it off and hang
it in the smokehouse. Smoke it to
suit the taste.
