EARLY HATCHING
MEETING FAVOR
‘Breeders Find Chicks Make
«Better Winter Layers.
The official results of laying tests
ecently concluded show that early-
& atched chicks of the heavier breeds
make the best winter layers. Rhode
sland Red pullets which were hatched
n March gave a winter egg produc-
ion of 42.35 eggs. April-hatched pul-
lets gave a winter production of 35.40
ggs and May pullets gave a produc-
ion of 22.50 eggs. - ;
; The profit in producing eggs comes
argely .from producing them at a
season of the year when they are
iighest in price. This means that we
must plan to produce eggs during the
winter months. The experiment re-
erred to shows that, with the gen-
eral-purpose breeds, the early hatched
hicks are the ones which mature in
me to start laying in the latter part
f October and continue throughout
he winter. :
Many people have failed to raise
arly chicks for the reason that they
have trouble with leg weakness and
rooder troubles. The leg weakness
an be largely overcome by the ration
dvocated by the Wisconsin experi-
ment station as the result of their
‘experiments in overcoming this trouble.
This was reported at an earlier date
“but for those who overlooked it we are
repeating the formula which they sug-
gest: eighty pounds ground yellow corn,
wenty pounds wheat middlings, five
pounds ground raw bone, five pounds
earl grit and one pound of common
alt. Skim milk is used freely but
no water is furnished. Infertile eggs
or cod liver oil is added in limited
uantities if the chicks do not have
iccess to sunlight. :
~The first experiment quoted shows
that April pullefs produced a fairly
good quantity of eggs. This is un-
_doubtedly on account of the fact that
they were well grown. This is a fact
hat ‘the producer who has. late-
hatched chicks should take into ac-
count. Oftentimes April-hatched pul-
ets which. are well fed will mature
before March pullets that are stunted
and poorly grown,

~ Crop-Bound of Fowls
Caused by Rough Feed
Lm On is caused by eating
ood too large to pass through the
gullet from the crop to the proventri-
rulus or true stomach. Chicks become
_erop-hound if fed whole wheat when/
teo young. The wheat swells and be-
cones too large to pass out of the
crop. Coarse feed with an excess of
crude fiber often causes this condi-
tion. The paralysis of the muscles of
the crop is another cause. This oc-
curs in cases of cholera.
Sometimes the contents can be re-
moved by drenching the fowl, then
‘kneading the crop and holding by the
feet head down and working the con-
tents out by the mouth. In severe
cases an operation is necessary. - Re-
“move the feathers, make a slit through
e outer skin, spread apart, then

move the contents; then sew up the
crop, then the outer skin. The crop
“membrane and skin should be sewed
‘sepa rately.
Require Green
Feed When Confined
When the pullets are penned and set
their work task of egg laying, their
od for succulent green feed must be
et, ‘say the poultry specialists of
the Ohio university. Succulent green
feed provided for the pullets for the
viirst few weeks after they are housed
“will keep them in good physical con-
= dition, Rave, oreen clover. and alfal-
fa ard satisfactory for this purpose.
Pullets

“able, poultrymen
after housing. ‘One pound of the salts
for each 100 birds should be dissolved
in their drinking water, and no other
rater should be given until that con-
ining the salts has been consumed.
Care of Pullets
Poultrymen who buy pullets at this
them separate from old hens.
pullets will be unfamiliar with’ their
new location and possibly changed ra-
tions, and every day that they go un-
derfed means a day or more of egg
production lost during the winter. It
may be possible to learn the ration
used by the former owner and make
‘changes gradually. to the rationg you
are using.

Hens Need Mash
Don’t get the idea that because it is
¢old that your hens do not need any-
_ thing but corn. Corn is all right and
has its place in the menu, but if you
vant eggs, and also to get your hens
in good condition for hatching they
must have something "besides corn.
Give them a good egg mash and it will
be better if it is fed moist and warm,
once a day—better still if it is fer-
mented for 24 hours with yeast. Do
not feed all they want. Make them
lean it up. ,

ing animals. When fall and winter
calves are given good attention they
wiil generally grow into better cows
than spring-dropped calves, as they
will be old enough to go onto pasture
in the spring and make satisfactory
gains, ;
Milk is the food provided by natur
for calves and man has never found a
substitute that equals it. Whole milk
is needed for the first month, or at
least during the greater portion of it.
After that time skim milk may be
gradually substituted as the calves
will commence eating grain and hay.
The maximum amount of whole milk
to feed is twelve pounds daily and six-
teen pounds should be the maximum
amount of skim milk used.
Individual stanchions are needed in
feeding calves by hand. In this way
each calf will get its own allowance
of milk. Grain can be Sut in the pails
after the milk is consumed and the
calves will gradually learn to eat. If
the calves are turned loose too soon
after they are through drinking they
will often acquire the habit of suck-
ing ears, ete, which will result in
poor gains. After two or three weeks
the whole milk may be gradually sub-
stituted with part skim niilk and the
proportion of skim milk gradually in-
creased as the calves gain in size and
age. The milk from the calf’s mother
should be fed for the first few days as
it is laxative in character and will
help get the bowels properly cleaned.
Cleanliness in the calf stables and
feed buckets is essential in preventing
scours and other similar troubles. Sun:
light is necessary if the calves
make the best gains. | Fresh water

Calves Need Som: Whole to
%iilk to Get ood Start
Calves whicli are only one week old
need some whole mill 4 they are to
get the best start. However, some
people follow the rractice of buying
calves from daicymen and raising
them on substitute rations.
The United States bureau of dairy-
ing recommends the following form-
ma which has been used with consid-
erable success by many dairymen:
Fifty pounds corn meal, finely
ground; 50 pounds linseed meal; 15
pounds oats, finely ground and rolled;
10 pounds of dried blood flour; 10
pounds skim milk powder; one-half
pound salt.
The albiove combination vr feeds are
carefully mixed together. One-half
pound of the mixture siirreZ into four
and one-half pints of boiling water
and fed when sufficsensly cool makes
a feed For a calf which is one month
old. Two feeds &re- necessary daily.
The amnount may be doubled by the
time calves ar@ two months old.
‘Calves may graduaity be shifted to
a ration that is less complicated at
that time.

3LO0 With Plenty of
Volume
“We got station 3LO at
Melbourne, Australia, with
more volume than we could
use, and with extraordinary
clarity of tone.”
MRS. A. R. MUNSILL

88 Stations
“I cut through local inter-
ference and easily brought
in 88 distant stations from
, all parts of the country. The
Philco is particularly good
in the low wave lengths
where most sets fall down.”
J. P. HANLEY, Chicago, Ill.
5 Japanese Stations
“I have logged many
eastern stations and the fol-
lowing Japanese stations:
JOBK, JOHK, JOAK, JOFK,
JOTK. The Philco has mar-
velous selectivity and sur-
plus volume and quality
that is amazing.”

Superb Tone
“Philco has given me a
new conception of the possi-
bilities of radio music. Its
‘tone quality is exception-
ally fine.”
MRS.E.V.TURNER, Dallas, Tex.
Daytime Reception
“During the day my wife
gets many distant stations—
Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago,
Florida and many low
power stations.”

Vast Coverage
“1 got Hawaii, Alaska,
Washington, California, and

and 100 in the U. 8S. All
came in clear.”
RAY C. BLOOM, Muscatine, Ia
Sensitive Tuning
“I find it very easy to tune
in between 30 and 40 stations
on my Philco. Powerful sta-
tions which usually tune
very broadly I can tune out
within one or two points of
the dial.”
J. DIXON DAVIS, Cincinnati, O.
Wonderful Selectivity
“My hat is off to the
Philco. I have tuned in Los
Angeles, Dalias and Atlanta
on 2 points of the dial.”
