} a ————p—— 1 { ! i f * plenty: of LIGHTS KEEP HENS LAYING IN WINTER Winter means nothing nowadays to the hens that produce New York's 6,000,000 eggs daily, It used to be that the season of ‘short, dark days was vacation time ‘for the pullet. If she laid an egg every ‘three or four days, she had done her ‘duty. But now. modern efficiency ‘methods have taken her'in hand. Win- ter days are made as long as summer ones by electric lighting of the chick- en houses, and the thousands of sub- [urban poultrymen of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut are ringing up ‘profits at the season when prices are highest. Just how the artificial lighting fools the hen into believing that winter nev- er comes is explained in the Farm Journal by Leslie M. Black, poultry expert of the New Jersey, Agricultural college, who reports on a six-month test made with 166 flocks of pullets. Oddly enough, Mr. Black found that one method of lighting worked better than others and produced 10.7 more eggs per bird over the period of the test than when no lights were used. “Three systems of lighting are most generally used,” he explains. ‘The first is the ‘evening lunch’ system, when the houses are lighted for an hour at night, usually between 8 and 9, or 9 and 10. The second, or morn- ing lights, plan consists of turning on the lights before dawn. The third plan is to use the lights both morning and evening so that the length of the day is made to equal absolutely the length of night. “This last system seems to have given the best results. Under it the pullets averaged 83.6 eggs per bird for the period. It produced 10.7 more eggs per pullet than when no lights were used, 6.5 more than under the ‘evening lunch’ plan, and 1.3 than the morning lights system.” Size of Male Is One-Half of the Turkey Flock Like begets like, and there is an old saying that the male is one-half the flock, and he is easier to produce over standard in size than the female. But don’t expect the male to over- come all the faults of undersized hens | or poor matings. Again, do not mis- take coarse bone for size. Avoid the long-legged crane-like specimen with no breasts. This is caused by breed- ing for size only and not properly mating. During the last few years, as conditions | have improved, the price of #irkeys has advanced with an in- creased demand. There seems to be a tendency to want extra large toms, and some breeders have put too much /stress on size only, when improperly mated, resulting which place them in the No. 2 class on the market. Of course, size is a very important item and some of our best breeders have been able to attain weights up to 45 pounds in a yearling. Again many injure their birds for breeders by excessive fattening to attain weight to meet that demand for size. : Cater to Fancies Notwithstanding that some of. the whims and fancies of the market may seem ridiculous, it is the wise poul- tryman who caters to them. In mak- ing sales, appearance is, a factor. A plump, neatly-dressed carcass, free from pin feathers, will attract the eye of the buyer. While quality of flesh iS ‘not necessarily guaranteed hy yel- low legs and yellow skin, the Ameri- can market calls for it and should have jt. He 'who quarrels with the gpmand of the market, or tries to re- orm it is working in his own light. Good Green Feed Alfalfa hay, preferably of the last cutting, provides winter green feed for poultry on the farm of P. D. Eames, Pottawatamie county, Iowa. Mr. ames makes winter egg production a specialty. “I bave raised stock beets for my hens,” said Mr. Eames, “but I saw no noticeable, improvement in egg pro- duction. The hens seemed to produce just as well ‘on green alfalfa as when the beets were used.” Poultry Breeds There are a great many different breeds of chickens suited to various poultry raising conditions. In general the breeds are divided into four classes—American, Asiatic, English and Mediterranean. AM birds of the American class, which includes the Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, Rhode Island White, Wyandotte and | have qualities | Jersey Black Giant, which make them good producers of eggs and meat. However, the strain and breeder is most important. Egg-Eating Habit The egg-eating habit is started by birds getting a taste of eggs that have been broken. It usually starts when hens are not getting enough minerals and are laying soft-shelled eggs. Of- fenders usually can be picked out be- cause they have egg yolk on their beak. These should be sold, eaten, or isolated from the flock. Oyster shell should be kept before the birds to supply lime. Darkened nests with straw will decrease the chances of eggs being broken, | more | in off-shaped birds! 2 0 ) em 00) Shavertown In Philly —:0:— > an oo ? tome oem camo The writen was pleased to receive quite a lengthy letter from our old friend Dan Shaver, of Shavertown,| who is now located in Philadelphia.
