DIVIDE HEN FLOCK FOR BEST RESULTS separate pullets from liens, say poultry men from the New York State Colley* •' "ri< allure at Ithm u. Old er hens are apt, If allowed. to ki*ep the putfe' . froi i their feed and boss them around so thai they d< net get a fair chance to dovelO) as they khmtlil. Separation a) o le > ns (lie risk from disease spread. Skim milk Is one of the biggest known aids to egg productIon. and should he mod to the limit, Every pullet should always have all the milk, Sour or sw< i. that she ran drink. Cleanliness is a big factor in bundling poultry succ.cs: fully, and the college poultry men suggest not only washing the milk dish every time he fore use, Imt id so denning the roosts, tJte doors, mill the self-feeders foe qnehtly. Some nun chan the drop ping hi in ids every day, ltd lids Is not absolutely necessary. With plenty of milk, the hens do not need so iiuieli water, and a few farm ers rtnint better results when no wa ter at all is given if the hr at ;:..., lmve access to milk. The milk *dv t then) not only water, Imt also natch needed proteins arc I utlnertds. Whole cnhlmRes hung In the scratch pens make tine gre. n feed, hut other groenstuffs are also good. It is n se rtootf mistake to throw any large flunnllty of green roughage on the floor where It Is not to lie wasted by iretMng moldy and dirty. For the ninsh which pullets should always have before them, equal parts •f bran, middlings, yellow" corn meal, ground heavy oats, and beef scraps generally give the best results. If the chicken* have all the milk they can drink, the meat scrap allowance can 1m* cut In two. ' The house itself should lie dry find well-ventilated. Every poultry man knows the Impor tance of keeping Ids stock free from lice and mites. Fitter in the scratch pens should not he too deep at llrsl. ns the pullets do not know how to scratch deep yet. Yellow cracked corn is ns good a scratch feed as any one needs, but one-third of any other wholesome grain can also he added. Add to these aids and precautions a good culling program, say the state college men, and any poult rytnan should be aide to get both pleasure find profit from h..lulling Ids flock. The Utile things count In egg pro duction, they say. They believe these practices. If followed, will Increase noticeably the production of every hen in the state. They are not, of course, in favor of a greater total production of eggs, hut less liens and more eggs is the combination that means money in the poultry man’s pocket. . Select Best Layers by Use of Good Trap Nest A good trap nest provides the one accurate method of determining ex actly how many eggs#a hen hus laid In one year. There is no short cut or easy way to figure from part of a year’s " up nest record what the total for the year will be, nor to cull care fully enough to estimate what It hus been or will be, say poultry -speciallsta at the Kansas Slate Agricultural col lege. The highest type of brooding for egg production m-ty be secured only by trap-nesting every breeder throughout every day of her first laying year, and every day throughout the brooding season, as long as she Is kept. In addition, both male and female birds must he selected which have, tlte nhll Itv to transmit high production to their offspring. The best poultry breeders are searching for the pullet that lavs not only during the spring, hut is also an early nmturer and heavy winter layer, ns well ns a persistent summer layer. These characteristics, coupled with Intensity of production, are loutii! t In the best liens, the pottlti men claim. Care of Breeding Stock Is of Great Importance * Apparently much of the trouble hnvi* each year with poor Incubator results Is traceable to the condition which the breeding stock has been in for several months previous. A study of five results which some of our hatcheries are obtaining with eggs from different flocks hatched in the sniue machine Indicate the great Ira portance of this factor. The hen* should have plenty of grain in addition to the regular lay ing mash. Five per cent of linseed oil meal may be put in the luasli to help the late tool ter* In refeathef lng. Green feed is particularly tm porfr.ht to breeder:!, I»o not use lights or. the breeding stock.—O. C. Krum, Poultry Extension Specialist, ColoratY) Agricultural College.

They sung after they had said this to prove that they were very, very happy. They were very pretty and hrltrht, pay, yellow in color, and most of them had lovely voices. "Of coarse," said the blue solitaire hint, "J am the finest stager. "I don’t like to honst, hut that ts tin* truth. The keeper says so. “Hut please, dear bird friends," he continued, "don't think I am con ceited. “I only want to show that I like the big laid house here, and that I am very happy—-so I prove it by singing and singing my best." "Your best is very line," said the Virginia Cardinal bird. "Thank you, thank you,” said the solitaire bird. “Ah, how good the beeper is. “lie knows that when I am free I like fruit and wild berries, and lie gives me bits of these here Just ns 1 would take them If 1 were free. "He gives me delicious little tastes of batmans, too.” “Ah, woe is tne. I’m sail,” said the Scarlet Tanager bird. “What’s tlie trouble?" naked the Virginia Cardinal. “1 always lose my gorgeous red coloring In the zoo. 1 fade and am not nearly so bright and gay and bill* limit as I would be if I were free. “It would appear as though 1 did not like the zoo.

So every bird in the bird house of the zoo felt happy. Hut outside, In another bird cage and yard, sat the vultures. They were thinking. “It doesn’t matter,” thought the Black Vulture, “what the other vul tures think. "They don't Intv rest me. T like to hunt. I like to cat. and the more nwl'ul the meal the better I like it. I wltl eat the moat horrible of food and enjoy It. “A nice killed chicken I also e n .i <i y r. in o n g other things.

"It Is because I am a King." I thought King Vulture. “I am a hor rible sort of a king of horrible birds, and we fly In the air so we can do our horrible deeds with more .-use. "When people come to the zoo and look at my fine crown 1 often wish 1 could say to them: ‘Oh, people, you may think I have a bad face, but I am a king vulture Just the same,' ’• Would Bo a Grandpa Warren is devoted to bis daddy, and It was almost more than he could hiund when bis father went out ot town to work.

Now there are 12 buildings, three of brick construction. The stu dents come from North and South Carolina, Georgia and New York. '1 he school really owes its exist once to the late Booker T. Washing ton, leader of the negroes, who in 1004 sent E. M. McDuffie to Lnnr inl urg to teach. “Twenty-one years ago," he said, ir describing the history of the in stitution, “Booker T.
