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.

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.

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.”
