GRAY JAPANESE BANTAMS When the Japanese bantams were first Introduced Into England, and thence into America, the only varie ties were white, black and black tailed white. English fanciers devel oped the attractive Gray Japanese Bantams, shown above. In color they are like the Birchen Gray Bantams. The male has a silvery white neck hackle, saddle hackle and top of wing. The balance of his plumage is lustrous greenish black, except the breast, each feather of which is laced or edged with silvery white. The female is intense black in all sections except the neck Laying Generally Ceases When They Are Losing Their Feathers; Danger in Feeding Too Heavily Oil Meal and Beef Scraps May Be Used to Improve the Conditions of the Birds By A. C. Smith Head of the Department of Poultry Husbandry, University of Minnesota. COPYRIGHT, 1915. Durlnfc the moulting season the rations of the fowls should contain material that will enable them quickly to form their new feathers and at the same time build up constitutional vigor, so that egg production may not be delayed too long. In this article Prof. Smith gives suggestions for tile cure of poultry during this critical period. ZEALOUS endeavor to prolong the laying season is often responsible for constitutional weakness and curtailed production of eggs in winter. Correct care of the laying fowls dur ing the moulting period will go far toward insuring profitable laying in the second year. The moulting period is much longer than most amateurs suppose, as the first stage Is likely to pass unnoticed. It is a gradual process and starts slowly. At first, a few of the larger feathers drop out, one or two at a time, but as the season advances the moult becomes more rapid. While the fowls are in light moult, the hens probably will continue to lay, but laying generally ceases when heavy moulting begins. This is when the hen drops the mass of small or body feathers. Prolonging the laying period not only retards the moulting period, but it also is likely to result in loss of strength and vigor. .Moult Lasts Three Months Ordinarily the moult begins in mid summer and continues from first to last, about three months, although the noticeable moult may not last longer than six weeks. A h,en that begins to moult in July should be newly fledged in October. If the moult Is delayed the fowls affected will be exposed to considerable inclement weather with out natural protection, and unless un usually comfortable quarters are pro vided they are almost certain to suffer from disease from such exposure. Late moulting nearly always is the result of a desire to get the largest returns at the moment, even at the expense of the future. But is a late moult economical? True, eggs In sum mer bring an attractive price—much more than during the Spring, yet not as much as during winter.

They have legs only about an Inch and a halt in length, and the wings are carried drooping almost to the ground. The tail is very long and stands up along the back and past the top of the head. These bantams may 'be kept suc cessfully in limited quarters. They eat little and are easily cared for. The hens are good layers. Gray Japanese Bantams should not exceed 20 to 22 ounces in weight for females or 22 to 26 ounces for males. I hens lay during winter than to make i pullets yield a large supply, and for that reason most of the old flock are ; disposed of just before the period of i heavy or rapid moult. The few that j are not sold are usually selected birds I and held for next season's breeders, for which use they are naturally ad mirably adapted. The moulting period should be a I period of rest for the reproductive or j ?ans, and it will be when the fowls I are not forced either at its beginning or completion. Under such conditions . and With proper care, hens usually i will begin to lay in February. The ! eggs also will be large, perfectly formed and with good shells. The fer tility, hatchability and strength of the chicks will be all that one can expect or desire. Early Moulting Desirable When a large flock of hens are kept over, an early moult will, of course, be of advantage because early winter lay ing is possible only when accompanied i by early moulting. This means a late | summer or early Fall moult, which is | natural with pullets that were hatched 1 fairly early and that have bee»i kept laying. t For birds hatched later those that for any reason moult in July, a forced moult is sometimes employed, the hen being made to begin her moult earlier than she would nat urally. This may be effected in sev eral ways, some of which are more rapid than others. The advisability | of this expedient has often been ques | tioned. Many maintain that it is j harmful, and authentic records seem ,to prove that while the next laying | period may be advanced, the egg yield | for the year usually Is considerably j diminished. This might be expected, inasmuch as the rest period is short- I ened by high feeding. The higher j price received for eggs compensates in ' part, however, for the reduced yield. Whether or not this is a harmful prac tice, depends considerably upon the rapidity of the moult. The theory of forced moulting is that by reducing flesh sufficiently, the feathers become dead and loosen, and, I therefore, drop out more quickly; then | by feeding liberally, new feathers are , grown rapidly, the body built up, and j a laying condition restored. Securing a Forced Moult The most radical method practiced j consists of confining the hen and | feeding her from one-quarter to one | half of what she would ordinarily re quire. Even this limited ration con i sists of the foods least fattening, such as oats and wheat bran. Both males and females moult I earlier if they have been confined for I considerable time. Fanciers who want I to exhibit at the Fall and early wln | ter shows make use of this fact to I assist them in getting candidates for these honors in fresh, new plumage, j The production of both feathers and eggs require much the same kind of I nourishment; which is perhaps the | real explanation of why hens in heavy i moult seldom lay. If a ration suffi ciently rich to form both feathers and I eggs rapidly was provided, the dlges j five machinery would soon collapse | and neither feathers nor eggs would |be formed. Thus, whether the hen | forms feathers or eggs, she must be i supplied with a small but appreciable amount of mineral matter and a 11b | eral supply of protein, because feath ers are found to contain both mineral matter and protein. It then becomes apparent that feathers and eggs are | not so different in composition as'form and appearance would lead one to be lieve. Condition of the Skin A </ oft j oily "kin is favorable to a rapid and healthy growth of feathers snd hens or other animals may be fed cure this, a liberal supply of such fat to promote such a condition To se containing foods as beef scraps, oil meal, etc., are often included in ra tions for moulting hens. Oilmeal is not especially pdlatable and should be used sparingly, possibly one part in sixteen or twenty of dry mash as commonly compounded With the light and active breeds beef scraps may be fed In hoppers, thereby effect ing a saving, as fowls soon get a suf ficient quantity and are not continually picking over the dry mash for bits of this animal food, wasting grain to save scraps. When mixed in mash, fifteen per cent, is a fair proportion. To those who would take advantage of forced moults, a word of caution Is due. Do not reduce rations abruptly Further more, do not reduce them to the ext. | that the fowl's constitution is impai.ed. Rather depend upon con finement and a selection of feeds that have little forcing or fattening tenden cies. This word means the elimination of food especially rich in either fats or protein; for example, beef scraps corn, oilmeal, etc. Select those that in themselves form more nearly a maintenance ration; such as oats, with wheat bran, and sufficient green foods, always available during the moulting season. Give enough of these to main tain health, with the assistance of free access to the grit and shell hoppers. The general welfare of the birds •hould be looked after.

Mr. Hummer is foreman of stone masons erecting the marble work for the b'%nk. The guy rope on the derrick, used to hoist the marble to the top of the walls, touched the electric wire, and Mr. Shummer lifted the wire by means of the guy rope and then, with his hand, hung the wire on a hook. At that moment the cut-rent of elec tricity entered his body and he re ceived a severe shock. The shock raised him off his feet, bounced his hat off his head and dropped it to the ground and barely missed tearing loose his hold from the tree. It was all over in a second. Mr. Shummer's left hand was very painfully burned, the flesh being charred to a consider able depth. Twenty-two hundred volts of electricity were racing through the wire when Mr. Shummer touched it.
