:&?o(Yien .saUnreßft-.s Girls Should Be Taught Their Duties in Home Mis# Julia Lathrop, chief of the Children's Bureau, advances the theory tjiat girls should be taught household economy between graduation from school and marriage. "Women are the real spenders of the world," said Miss Lathrop, "and we must admit they are not so wise on the subject as they should be. I be lieve a new era of home education is about to dawn." Outside of a school of eugenics and Hex hygiene for men graduates there ( ould be no greater impetus given to the world for the Improvement, of the home life and the coming generations than such an intermediary course aB Miss Lathrop suggests. Woman has always been regarded as the keeper of the home, and the provider of com forts for husband and children out of the proceeds of the man's Income. But she has made a rather questionable showing of efficiency when we realize how long she has been engaged in the occupation. Preparation of Good for Family Comes Natural to the Woman There was a book published in the early fifties by Alexander Walker which discourses on woman in every relation to life. Speaking of her du ties Mr. Walker says; "Woman, therefore, is fit only for sedentary occupations, and necessarily remains much in the interior of the« house in which alone her chief duties can be performed. "Perhaps the most important of her natural duties, though first indicated after that of clothing, is the prepara tion of food for her family. 1 call this a natural duty, not merely because it belongs to the domestic occupations which are naturally those of woman, but because it originated in the strict ly personal circumstances of nourish ing her infant. As more abundant or different nutriment is required, she gradually substitutes the milk of the cow. Repeating this for an increas ing family, she is naturally and inevi tably led to prepare the food of the whole.

Early writers mentioned it as being of black plumage; others as being of brown ish color, while some had It with feathered legs.

At that period of our country'* ex istence the American commercial fleet was queen of the seas, many of the ships trading between the Far East, and in this way Brahmas and Shanghais were introduced into this country, and undoubtedly the Black Javas came by the same route. All their improvement, however, in uni formity of shape, color and production was accomplished by the American breeders. The stock has been used successfully in the production of new breeds, notably the Barred Rock, and there is a striking resemblance be Eggs Can Be Produced at Less Cost in Summer If Proper Precautions Are Observed What to Do and What to Avoid to Get the Best Results By REESE V. HICKS Former President of American Poul try Association and now General Manager Rancocas Poultry Farms, Browns Mills, N. J. COPYBIGHT. 1915. Year by year the demand for fresh summer eggs increases. A great ileal of this demand Is now being supplied by amateur or backyard poultrymen, who liave found in the summer ho tels n profitable source of income. There are a number of ways of in creasing the summer egg yield with out expense and with very little addi tional trouble. In this article Mr. Hicks shows how results nre achieved with small flocks of hens. THE great packinghouses and oth ers who put away eggs in large numbers in cold storage vaults usually make the month of April one of their heaviest storing months. There are several reasons for this, but the main one is that April is the time of the average lowest price for good eggs that will do for packing and holding over several months. Really good fresh summer eggs are hard to find except on the farms and ranches run by poultrymen. A large propor tion of the eggs produced under aver age farm conditions after May 1 are often subject to heat that has started the germ to developing. This devel oping germ dies in a few days, and the egg spoils find is unfit for food. Owing to the scarcity of really fresh eggs in warm summer weather, the market price in the larger cities usually shows a steady upward tend ency from some time in May or June on through the summer and Fall months, even until after the holidays. As a matter of fact, really good fresh eggs can he produced cheaper in the summer than at any other HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH COPYRIGHT, 1915. BLACK JAVAS tween the Black Javas and the Black Orpingtons. General Purpose Fowl These fowls are classed as general purpose fowls, laying large brown eggs, and being generally regarded as heavy layers. The hens get broody, sit, hatch and rear chicks, and the lat ter are usually strong and active, growing rapidly to maturity. When full grown, these fowls at tain from 8 to 10 pounds weight for males, and 6 % to 7pounds weight for females. They are uocile and readily confined by a comparatively low fence. Their beautiful rich green ish-black plumage does not easily show the soil of confinement, and the fowls will usually do well in small places. These dualities make ihe Black Java desirable for the small backyard or home flock. They will be comparatively easy to handle under limited conditions and will do much toward converting table scraps and waste into profitable eggs and table poultry. time of the year, but it requires more care and system than Just to allow the hens to attend! to it themselves. They cannot be permitted to lay anywhere they please, nor can the poultry raiser gather eggs irregularly or occasionally and then market them at the week-end, dirty, stale and pos sibly spoiling because, of being held too long in warm weather. Separate Males ami Females The first important step is to sepa rate all males from the hens so the eggs will be sterile. A warmth of ninety degrees for a few hours will not start the sterile eggs incubating. If the males are of choice enough qual ity to be held over for breeding an other year, they should be confined In a yard by themselves, even if it is necessary to pull the main flight feathers out of one wing on each male. But unless they have special value for future breeders, it pays to send them to market rather than to feed them a whole year before they will be needed again for breeding purposes. The average male eats too much in the eight or ten months he must be carried as a useless drone. It is better to buy new males under these circumstances, thus adding new and improved blood yearly. The hens lay just as well, if not better, without the attention of the males, and the eggs will keep fresher and better. The sooner the males are disposed of, either by selling them or putting them in the pot, the better for the laying powers of the hen as well as the keeping qualities of the eggs. The earlier they are sold the better, because chickens for market get cheaper every week in the summer in a constantly descending scale instead of increasing In price as choice eggs usually do. * Another feature too often over looked is the prompt gathering at least twice a day, and, if at all pos sible, marketing the same day as gath ered. If It is not convenient on ac count of the small number gathered, the eggs may be taken up once a day and marketed every other day, but while they are being held for the mar ket they must be kept in a cool place —never in the kitchen or a warm • room. A cellar makes the best place, I if not damp or moldy. As the warm weather of summer approaches, some special care must be given the laying hens if the maximum egg yield is to be expected during the extremely hot weather. Kinds of Feed Important The feed should be gradually changed so as to have less fattening properties, because the hen does not need the fatty material to keep up her bodily heat when she is not re sisting cold. This means feeding less corn and cornmeal in the summer than in the winter and Spring. Vege tables and green feed should be in creased, as these tend to cool off the blood and increase the amount of wa ter in the system of the hens. Since vegetables such as beets, cabbage, etc.. abound in the summer, they should be fed liberally. Grasses, such as clover, alfalfa, and even blue grass lawn clippings, are a good green feed for hens, especially in the days in summer. Green feed is the cheapest feed the poultry raiser can use, and should be freely used at this impor tant time of the year. If the proper variety is given, and if it is properly prepared, a laying hen will eat from twenty to thirty per cent, of her ra tions of succulent green feed. Again, the methods of feeding should be different in the summer from those practiced in the winter. An abundance of exercise is necessary in the winter, but it is not so impor tant in the summer. There should be enough to keep the hens from becom ing over-fat, but usually with range and open weather of summer, there is not much danger of over-fat, espe cially If the corn, cornmeal, and sim ilar foods are held down to not over one-third of the entire summer feed. In the summer It Is not so necessary to feed In deep litter to make the hens dig. unless the yards are very small. Shade Should Be Ample If possible, hens should have more range In summer and have plenty of shade. The shade should not be over more than one-third of their runs, or there will be trouble In a damp, rainy season. There is such a thing as too much shade even in the summer time but the fault is more often the other way. Where no nat ural shade can be had such as a grove or orchard, sun shades must he made by stretching cloth about four feet off the ground or else by building low frame sheds with all four sides open for the air to pass through, thus enabling hens to pro tect themselveef and at the same time have the advantage of any passing breeze.

During the hot summer, hens nat urally drink more water and this should be supplied at least twice daily, fresh, pure and cool. The warm weather Also develops disease germs more rapidly and this means that £x tra care must be given the drinking as well as feeding vessels. Not only should they be cleaned daily, but it is well to wash them two or three times a week in a good disinfectant. Beware of Vermin Lice and mites are two difficulties attending summer egg production. However, if the hens are given care these drawbacks are not nearly as serious as many people allow them to become. It Is another case of a stitch in time saving many times nine. If these pests are allowed to gain a foothold, it will require very hard work to eradicate them so they will not affect the summer egg yield. Mites are more serious than lice be cause they breed much faster. Mites live on the hens only at night, going off onto the roosts and walls of the buildings during the day. The lice stay on the hens all the time. To kill mites, the roosts, nest boxes, dropping boards, the walls of the building and the floors must be sprayed with a powerful disinfectant or kerosene oil. If oil Is used on the nest boxes, care must be taken to allow it to dry oft before they are used or the eggs will taste of the oil. All droppings, litter, dirt, on the floors, in boxes and drop ping boards must be removed. The spraying should be repeated weekly for several weeks until not a mite re mains. Lice are found usually under the vent, on the hips and around the roots of the tail of the hens. A dust ing with a good louse powder will re move them. If the flock is too large to handle, lice can be kept down be low the line of much harm by provid ing a dry dust bath. In this the fowls will cleanse themselves of most of the lice. The dust bath may be made of a low-sided dry gftods box filled with road dust Into which has been mixed some coal ashes, a small amount Of lime, and a few tablepsoonfuls of powdered sulphur. Place this dust bath in a dry sunny corner of the hen house. How to Treat "Broody" Hens A serious disadvantage to a good summer egg yield Is a broody hen. Not only is she losing time when she gets broody—time that she should be producing valuable eggs—but If the eggs carry a fertile germs, or the males have not been removed, she is damaging the eggs. For these rea sons the most valuable producers of eggs are those breeds known as "non sitters," because they, show little or no disposition to become broody. The single comb White Leghorn has dem onstrated her superiority as a non sitter and is now used by a large pro portion of the leading egg-producing farms. Where a hen shows a disposition to sit, a coop must be provided and the hen allowed to remain in It a day or so to cool off the broody habit. This coop should have a slatted bottom to allow atr to pass freely through and prevent her making a comfortable nest. She should be placed in the coop the first night she shows her broody disposition and kept there for a day or two, then released, and if still broody returned to the coop. As all this requires time and patience, it is far better to use the non-sitter where eggs are the object. By practicing the best methods not only can the egg producer get a bet ter price, but he can get more eggs and at a time when they are produced easiest and at the least cost. ————————— , Look After Your Flock You can't give your little flock too much attention at this season of the year. If you are to develop young chicks Into profitable layers this Fall and next Spring, you must know what to do to get the re sults. Next Saturday, Dr. Thomas J. Clemens, practical poultryman, will tell our readers how to insure fu ture productiveness, how to iden tify different ailments, and how to apply home remedies that will be effective and economical.
