Early Molting Hens Are Poor Paying Proposition What is the trouble with the poul try business? Wrhy are fewer heta kept this year? Is the poultry busi ness going backward? All these ques tions, and many more like them, have been asked recently. What Is the trouble with the poultry business? Would not any other busi ness fall If It were conducted as the poultry business Is conducted? Every female kept is not necessarily a good money maker. Some hens never lay. Some lay a few eggs. But It takes a hen that lays a good quantity of eggs to pay for her feed and return a fair profit above labor, interest, etc. It has been proved beyond doubt that early molting hens are poor pro ducers. Hens that begin to shed their feathers in July and August seldom start to lay before the latter part of January or the early part of February. Many poultrymen realize the necessity of culling out their poor producers in order to stay in the poultry business. With the present prices of feed. It Is absolutely essential that only "the best hens be kept. One farmer last year selected from 500 laying hens 104 that he considered poor producers. No trap nests were used, but the liens were examined from external charac teristics. These 104 hens were put in a house by themselves. The following day they laid four eggs. The flock was again tested and the fouc^lnyers were selected, leaving an even hundred unproductive hens. They were carefully watched for several weeks and did not lay an egg. At last they were sold. Similar Instances prove that the selection of poultry pays. IVhy not save the tremendous amount of feed fed the poor hens and put It Into better stock or human food? Increase production and increase efficiency, by keeping the late molters. Hatch in September and thus increase the meat and egg supply of the coun try. Fall hatching of chickens will pay. Pullets from these hatches will take the place of the early molters disposed of. Breed only from the late molters. Selection is a big step toward greater poultry efficiency and to a more profitable poultry business. Increasing Demand for Disliked Guinea Fowls Guinea fowls, which have suffered unpopularity with farmers because of pronounced propensities for noise making during the sleeping hours of # humans, are likely to rise above this objection in view of a steadily Increas ing demand for their delicious flesh, la * the opinion of a poultry specialist of the United States Department of Agrir culture. Guinea-fowl raising now Is a profitable side line on eastern farms and may offer opportunities to the com mercial poultr.vman in a few cases. In Farmers’ Bulletin 858, "The Guinea Fowl,” the specialist discusses the guinea business from the starting of a flock to marketing the produce, which is largely meat, « Colony House System of Poultry Raising Favored One of the many advantages of the colony house system of poultry rais ing is that the birds have ample op portunity to find animal food, such as bugs, worms, grasshoppers, etc. This is a very necessary part of the diet if you are raising poultry for the eggs they will produce. If you have mov able houses for the flock, place them near fields likely to harbor destructive insects; this will protect the crop and at tlie same time provide the necessary animal food. Outline cl Good Ration for Growing Ducklings A good ration for ducklings consists , of one part bran, one part cornmeal, g^ne part ground crackers or stale bread made into a mash. Then 10 per cent beef scrap is added, as well as fine green food and fi little sand. Be sure that the bread Is not moldy and that all other ground grains are of good quality. ®<5)®<sxsX®)C£<sX^SXsXS)<£><2XaXjD<5Xg<sXS>®<SX£Cs>®<S POULTRY NOTES The hen is the only thing on the farin that can make money by “Just laying around.” • * ♦ Paint the outside of the hen house; muke it look as though it belonged to somebody. • * * Much loss could be prevented if those engaged In the poultry business were to examine their flocks regularly for indications of disease of any char acter. * * * The white.chicks that are somewhat dirty in color at time of hatching are the birds which turn out to be the best breeders at maturity. * * * Provide as much water per day as tne poultry will drink. Keep all drink ing vessels clean and scald them out frequently. * * * Don't overlook the value of feeding gritty substances to the poultry fre quently. This performs the same mis sion for poultry that teeth do for men end animals. v i v v* V V V V V Knitted Togs for Kiddies; t v V IfllUMMIHHMfmHHMMHNMI School Hats Are Jaunty SINCE "comfort first” is baby’s plea, small wonder is It thnt the softest and daintiest of knitted garments oc cupy the place of honor in childhood’s realm. It is generally conceded that for baby’s tender skin there is noth ing so "comfy” as knitted wool, lack ing, as it does, the Irritating qualities of the harder woven fabrics. Then, too, with knitted art responding so generously to childhood’s needs, one readily appreciates why doting moth 1 lars, others with storm collar which can be worn down or up. Both ribbed and brushed effects continue in favor, while plain coats with brushed trim mings are greatly featured. Combining utility with good looks, the new styles in school hats have made their appearance and It should be a simple matter, considering their variety, to choose a smart and becom ing model for every little miss who must return to the classroom with the Knitted Things for Children. ers acquired the habit of planning their little one's outfits along the lines of the myriads of pretty things creat ed from supple yarns and zephyrs. For babies’ wear, white naturally holds sway with pink or blue trim mings. An attractive yoke distin guished from the ordinary, the little crochet saeque here pictured and the fact that it is a dainty pastel shade with lower ripple flare In pure white, adds to its loveliness. Contrary to expectation this ndorable little gar ment fastens in the back with two pearl buttons, while a little pink (or blue if occasion demands) bow adorns the front. The cap is crocheted in astrakhan stitch and, in the language of baby fashion lore, this looplike beginning of September. School hats, of course, should be severely plain and the hats»shown In this group dem onstrate that they may be designed with this Idea In mind and still have a jaunty charm that Is all their own. For the high school girl the hat shown at the top is made of braided ribbon with a ribbon trimming in the form of rosette and cascade at the right side. Below at the left Is shown a little model of plcot-edged ribbon sewed row on row and trimmed with a flat rosette of the same ribbon in a lighter tone. The two hats shown at the right and below reflect the popularity of knitted goods in junior outfits. These are of knitted brushed wool In contrasting Practical School Hats. Btltch is particularly tlie mode this season. Proof against wind and weather are the cunning knitted suits which shield little five-year-olds, perhaps older, perhaps younger, front head to foot, just as this picture sets forth. The lovable little “Snow Sprite” of our il lustration is clad in a particularly handsome white wool knitted infant s set. The legiriettes have a slip-cord at the waist, with tassels. The sweater coat boasts belt and collar and, pride of prides, two patch pockets. There are plenteous pearl buttons, two of them finding their way to the cap. posed one on each side flap. One may take choice of double breasted and single-breasted coats in these sets, some with turn-down col colors and provide the ideal headwear for nse with the sweater and skirt combinations that are at present so popular, or they may be bad in hat and scarf sets to be worn with school frocks or suits. The hat shown below combines the knitted crown with a brim of angora. Materials used In making hats for very little girls incltt le camels hair fabric, beauvette, broadcloth and fine chinchilla. It Is <juite the lust word to have the hat match the coat in ma terial. color and trimming. l(£k 1923, Wootorn Newspaper Union.)
