1935. — gh Street 7 advertise ‘WEDNESDAY, MAY 193¢ Bei MODEL PULLET SURE TO BE WORTH MORE 8th, Marked Advance in Feed Is Cited as Reason. By F. H. Branch, Extension Economist in Farm Management, Massachusetts State Col- lege.—WNU Service. A well grown pullet in 1935 will cost about $1.50 or approximately 10 per cent more than last year. The in- crease over last year’s costs is caused by a marked advance in feed prices and a moderate increase in labor charges. In making calculations, it was esti- “mated that in order to obtain 100 healthy pullets, the poultryman must buy about 250 baby chicks. About half of these will be cockerels, and some losses probably will be sustained dur- ing the brooding and rearing season. The cost of the chicks amounts to about 35 cents per pullet. Feed costs for six or seven months will amount to about 96 cents. The labor of taking care of one pullet in a flock results in about 25 cents’ worth of labor being charged against each pullet. Overhead costs, in- cluding depreciation and interest on buildings and equipment amount to about 20 cents, and miscellaneous cash costs, such as fuel, litter and grit, come to about 18 cents, bringing the total cost to $1.95 for each pullet. But a by-product of the business of raising pullets is a supply of cockerels which may be sold as broilers, and the return from broilers is a credit, in cal- culating the cost of raising pullets. Broilers should be worth about 45 cents each, thus reducing the cost of each pullet to $1.50. These calculations may serve as a basis for poultrymen in computing the cost of establishing flocks this year. Sanitary Feeding Urged by College Poultryman Feeding grain and mash in troughs is the cleanest and most accurate method of supplying the poultry flock with their daily grain ration, says G. W. Knox, Jr, extension poultryman, University College of Agriculture, Fayetteville, Ark. and it has largely taken the place of the ola mehod, both unsanitary and uncertain, of feeding it in the litter. The grain is put morning and night into a V-shaped trough, constructed of one by six-inch material. This method is sanitary, and the exact amount of grain the hens consume can be regu- lated, Knox pointed out. A light feed is given in the morning, and a heavy feeding, all the hens will eat, is given at night. “Some poultrymen prefer to hopper feed their grain, keeping it be- | fore the hens at all times. This meth- ! od is sanitary, but the amount of grain fed cannot be regulated as easily as in trough feeding,” he says. “The exact amount fed varies with the breed and the season of the year, and the poultryman must learn to reg- ulate the amount of grain his birds will eat.” Ducks Are Sensitive Ducks are far more sensitive than ordinary fowls, and mistakes in man- agement frequently lead to a complete moult. Do not that free-range | ducks ean secure half their living dur- | ing winter months. Ducks in full lay will consume about five ounces of food daily—approximately two ounces of grain and three of wet mash. For grain use wheat, or equal weights of wheat and corn, fed in troughs in the morning, and they love to shovel it out of a trough containing a small quantity of water.——Montreal Herald. Do Not Overcrowd The poultryman who places too many layers in the laying house is headed for small profits and trouble. In small buildings 5 square feet of floor space should be allowed for each bird and in larger ones 3 square feet. If the birds are crowded they will be uncom- fortable, competition for feed “at the hoppers and for water at the fountains will be keen, they will be more suscep- tible to disease, and mortality is sure to be heavy. One should aim to have the laying houses not too full and not the opposite. In the Poultry Yard The surest way to prevent frozen combs is to provide heat during zero weather. * * * Turkeys, especially when kept in confinement, require ample supplies of water and grit. * * * Fowl paralysis did not respond to feeding treatment at the Iowa experi- ment station. Neither the cause nor the cure for this chicken disease is known, * * x Hens lay their largest eggs after hav- ing reached maturity or after becoming “hens” after their period of pullethood. * * * Fowl pox is more serious this winter than in previous seasons, according to reports received by the poultry depart- ment of the Ohio State university. * * * The rooster with swollen head and closed eye has the roup, and should not be in the flock with healthy birds, as this disease is highly contagious and cured with difficulty when present. meme Give Horse a Chance Sore necks and shoulders on horses can be largely avoided if the driver ex- ercises thoughtful care. Most of these troubles come from collars that do not fit or from hames and harness improp- erly adjusted. It is much better to fit the collar to the horse than to try the horse to the collar.

FOR REAL GOOD PRINTING Tue BULLETIN AND NOTE THE DIFFERENCE HEALTH TALK WRITTEN BY DR. THEODORE B APPEL, SECRETARY OF HEALTH POSTURE “One of the outstanding characters of the West Point cadet is his magnificent carriage. In mass formation these men represent one of the finest single groups of manhood to be found in the United States. And among the first things a plebe is required to do is to sit, stand and walk correctly. In fact, this fund- amental discipline applies to every man who becomes connected with any type of military organization. Because of the very definite aid to health involved in this practice, it is really unfortunate that the average person does not auto- matically train himself to maintain cor- rect posture habits,” states Dr. Edith McBride Dexter, Secretary of Health. “It is the very exceptional boy or girl, and even man or woman, who does not know the ‘head up, chin in, chest out, and stomach in,’ rule. The difficulty arises in its adoption. It is so easy to follow one’s natural inclina- tions with the consequent slouching that is so apparent among all classes today. “If the matter were limited to aes- thetic considerations, efforts to revise posture would be fully justified. The fact is, however, that faulty posture, among other things, fails to keep the abdominal muscles taut and thus de- prives it of the needed support and pressure. In extreme cases of habitual slouching a number of conditions can develop due to circulatory changes in the organs of the chest and abdomen. These include a lowered resistance to certain respiratory infections, coldness of the hands and feet, fatigue, head- ache, constipation and neurasthenia. sion have been traced to this cause. “There are, of course, numerous in- stances where lack of vitality or dis- ease itself is responsible for the slouching posture. But, by and large, slouching is due to carelessness. “It is particularly important that the child’s posture conforms to nature's dictates. Cases of spinal curvature as well as other handicapping physical deformities have been directly con- tributed to a disregard of this import- ant fact. “While, of course, the harm accom- plished by habitually incorrect posture widely varies not only in children but in adults as well, depending on the in- dividual mental and physical make-up, it can safely be said that if persisted in it almost always has its bad effects. “It follows that both appearance and a proper functioning of the body are involved in the posture problem. To attain and maintain correct posture is a health secret that cannot safely be disregarded.” When in need of Printing, (any- thing) kindly remember the Bulletin 100K OFF 17 LBS. OF UGLY FAT HEEDED DOCTOR'S ADVICE Mrs. Robert Hickey, Roseville, Calif., writes: “My doctor prescribed Kruschen Salts for me—he said they wouldn't hurt me in the least. I've lost 17 lbs. in 6 weeks. Kruschen is worth its weight in gold.” Mrs. Hickey paid no attention to gossipers who said there was no safe way to reduce. She wisely fol- lowed her doctor's advice. Why don't YOU? Get a jar of Kruschen to-day (lasts 4 weeks and ‘costs but a trifle). Simply take half teaspoonful in cup of hot water every morning. All druggists.
