Molt Discussed
By County Agent
Hutchinson Says Many Can
Be Cured By Proper
Feeding
There are several causes of a fall
molt in the pullet flock. Some of these
are very early hatching, loss of body
weight through improper feeding, di-
sease, or parasites, moving the birds
after production has started, or an in-
herited tendency for a winter pause,
which is a breeding factor.
Although it is impossible to prevent |
molts in all pullet flocks, County |
Agent J. D. Hutchinson says that
many of them can be, however, by!
proper feeding.
Pullets should gain in weight at the |
same time that they are laying. Some |
poultrymen make a practicg€ of weigh- |
ing a few birds at regulariintervals to |
check on their condition. {Others han- |
dle a few birds to find out the-athount |
of flesh carried on their breast bones. |
If the pullets are thin, changes are

‘made in the feeding program.
Using supplementary feeds, such as |
fattening ‘mashes or pellets, has added |
in building body weight. Any of the |
commercial fleshing mashes can be |
used for this purpose or a mixture of
equal parts by weight of condensed |
milk, cornmeal, and rolled oats will]
give good results. The home-made |
fleshing mash should be fed at noon |
at the rate of 8 pounds to 100 birds.
If necessary to build up body weight, |
a second feeding of fattening mash or
pellets may be given to ‘the birds in
the evening after they have eaten their
scratch ‘food.
Lights play an important part in
increased food consumption. It does
not seem to make any difference if
they are used in the morning or even-
ing or a combination, of both, as far
as the results are concerned. The sys-
tem followed will depend upon wheth-
er non-freezing fountains and a time
clock are available, type and cost of
current, and the schedule of working
hours om the farm. Usually a 12 to
13-hour day is long enough for the
birds, :
If pullets have been allowed to lay
on the ramge for any length of time
before being housed, generally it is a
good plan to start using lights on
them as soon as they are confined to
laying quarters. For other birds it
usually is mot wise to start using the
lights on them while production is in-
creasing satisfactorily. After these
birds have reached their peak and the

Why National Advertisers
USE THIS NEWSPAPER
People are interested in other people, especially in people they
know. That's why thousands of families in this community sub-
scribe to this paper year after year.
On these pages they find the names of fellow townspeople, often
their own. So besides the ordinary interest of nation-wide news,
this newspaper offers the even greater reader-interest of local com-
munity doings.
National advertisers believe that by using these columns they are
reaching the greatest number of substantial families in this com-
munity, reaching them at home and in an effective and friendly
manner.
But this newspaper performs another important service. By dis-
playing the advertising of local merchants side-by-side with the
products of national advertisers these national products become
identified with the local market, with local merchants.
In this way, on these pages is forged the important last link be-
tween the manufacturer and his local community dealer and their
That’s why, for local buyer acceptance, for local deal-
customers.
er tie-up, local community newspapers are best.
