ECONOMY LOOMS BIG
IN EGG PRODUCTION
Winter Grazing Crops Low
er Poultry Upkeep.
By K. 8. Dearatyna. North Carolina 8tta
CollaK. Poultry Department. WNU Service.
Poultrymen who wish to make a
profit daring the period of low egg
production must eliminate all unneces
sary teed costs. But the economy
should not be carried so far as to
further decrease egg production.
Removal of unproductive hens from
the flock and liberal use of winter
grazing crops afford the beat means
of reducing feed costs and maintain
ing a satisfactory rate of egg produc
tion. Non-layers and poor layers add Just
as much to the flock cost as do the
good layers, but add little or nothing
to the Income derived from egg sales.
Green feeds, which are less expen
sive than other types of chicken feed,
tend to stimulate egg production by
providing vital nutrients for the flock.
There are certain crops which will
furnish gracing through most of the
winter. Italian rye grass and crimson
clover, or a mixture of these, have
proven satisfactory. Experiments have
shown these feed to be practical
from all standpoints.
House for Laying Flock
Needs Careful Attention
One of the first stops In aa Im
proved system of poultry management
is to provide satisfactory quarters for
the laying flock. A recent survey la
the corn belt area, says the Missouri
Farmer, showed that the average poul
try house was built In 1912 and that
a very small portion, less than one
fifth, possessed the simple features
so necessary In a poultry house In
order for It to be satisfactory. The
average farm was attempting to house
00 per cent more hens than the quar
ters would accommodate. Less than
one-third of the farm poultry houses
had adequate ventilation, and about
one-sixth were provided with feed hop
pers and droppings platforms.
In over half the, houses the fronts
possessed no windows or other opea
tags. Under such conditions It is no
wonder that poultry falls to produce
and return the profit one has a right
to expect Usually the extra produc
tion when poultry la properly housed
pays liberal dividends on the extra
Investment as well as paying for the
house Itself.
Types in Cockerels
A great many people when picking
out the more desirable cockerels they
reserve for breeders make the mistake
Of taking for first choice those which
develop sexually before others of the
same age. To those who have not
learned by observation that these are
apt te be somewhat below average
size la their breed, such birds are at
this season the most attractive. Th
cockerels which show the best devel
opment at maturity are at this sea
son larger than those just mentioned,
and not so well feathered and self-assertive.
Until one has learned to rec
ognize the type as Jhat which grows
into the best type of, adult bird, he is
very apt to pass over it and after ho
tins taken the precocious birds take
the largest of those that remain. In
a stock of chickens in which the stand
ard weight Is the medium, the largest
cockerels rarely make desirable breed
ers. Almost invariably they are coarse
'or their kind and slow to mature.
Moist Mash
Moistened mash has its virtues for
both hens and growing chicks. For
bens that are beginning to slow up on
egg production and go broody rapidly,
a feeding of as much moistened mash
as they will clean up once a day, pref
erably around noon, will help keep
P production and make for lower
broodiness, says a correspondent In
Wallace's Farmer. Growing chicks
apparently desire, variety, and like
moistened mash as a change. Fed
plain, moistened with water, or better
yet milk, It aids both growth and
fleshing.
Dressing Turkeys
In deciding whether to sell turkeys
alive or dressed" one can safely esti
mate that there Is a "shrinkage of ap
proximately. 1Q per cent In the loss of
blood 'and ' f&thera and 25 per cent
in full drawn -..turkeys. When grow
lers market dressed turkeys It is nec
essary to' withhold feed for' 18 to 24
hours before they are killed. It is a
good practice to confine , them to a
laying house at noon the day before
any of them are killed. A liberal sup
ply of water should be provided.
Keep Birds Well
Many causes contribute to the lay
ing of small eggs. Late hatching and
forcing for autumn production are no
doubt often responsible, while the
hereditary factor Is not to be oven
looked, says , a writer in the Los An
geles Times. " Overf at hens usually
lay such eggs. Soma poultrymen ad
vise using for hatching only eggs that
weigh two and one-quarter ounces
each and believe the only cockerels
used In breeding pens should be those
from a hen known to lay large eggs. "
