An Expert's Ideas on the Selection of Breeding Hens. ‘Fall is the proper time'to select breeders, said’' James E. Rice, poultry- man, of Cornell university, speaking at a recent poultry meeting. Starting with the prineiple that breeding hens should be chosen on the basis of egg production under unfavorable condi- tions and drawing frequently on re‘ sults of experiments at Cornell, Pro- fessor Rice lald down a method of double selection. His experiments had shown that those pullets laying earli- est in the fall always laid the most eggs, both as pullets and hens. More- over, the early laying pullets laid lat- est into the next fall. The poultrymen should follow the early layers into their second fall, and those which laid latest should be selected. It has been proved conclusively at Cornell that, contrary to prevailing bellefs, the hen which Houdans are . favorite fowls in France, ‘where they are valued as general _purpose. birds. In body ‘shape the Houdan shows that it carries a goodly amount of flesh, The body is long and broad, yet compact; the breast full, deep and round. The hens are large pro- ducers of large white shelled eggs. In- temperament they are docile. ‘The hen shown is a pure bred Hou- dan, molts latest goes to laying before and lays more eggs the following winter than the early fall molters. The latest molters lay the most eggs. “As a rule,” declared the lecturer, “pullets which haven’t laid at eight months, and certainly nine months, in the case of Leghorns, might as well be discarded, for they will never be profitable.” To ascertain by trap nesting which hens and pullets are laying is too cost- ly for the average poultryman, ad- mitted Professor Rice; who stated the cost per hen for trap nesting at Cor- nell is around 50 cents a year. There are, however, ways of determining the Subseribe for The Pioneer Grand Forks. spend a few days on legal business. Judge Marshall A.

The hen that molts = |late is laying again before those which molt earlier. Second.—Yellow shanks lose color when_ the hen starts laying, the color pigment going into the egg yolks rath- er than the shanks. Third.—The color of the comb helps, but it is not positive. Usually the hen with a warm, soft, velvety, pliable comb is laying. Fourth.—With the white ear lobe va- rieties the color of the lobe is an in- dex, the creaminess apparent in the idle hen going out with the first few eggs. The time of hatching is one of the most important things to determine. It varles with localities and breeds, but the difference between the right and wrong fime means the difference often between success and failure. Pullets should be so hatched as to be in perfect laying condition just before cold weather jn- the fall. At Cornell, for Leghorns, three hatches ‘at inter- vals of fifteen to twenty days, the first just before April came in, were found satisfactory. Bxperiments had shown that June hatched as well as February batched Leghorns did not lay so many eggs tbe pullet year and did not catch up the second and third years with the pullets hatched respec- tively earlier and later. Professor Rice indicated that breed- ing can.be followed from more than one angle. If high quality eggs are bred for, he belleves the farm .income can be increased 25 to 50 per cent. Feed For Molting Hens. The ration for the molting hen should supply protein and ash generously. The supply of tender, juicy green food should be ‘abundant.~ Oats fed when the shoots are a quarter of an inch in length and milk in the form of cottage cheese are excellent and safe foods to force feather growth. The mashshould contain ground oats, barley or corn meal, wheat middlings with some bran. Beef scrap, if milk is not available, should be used to make up about 10 per cent by weight of the mash. - Charcoal For Chickens. 3 A small quantity of granulated char- coal in the wet mash will usually cor- rect any abnormal condition of the bowels and check any diarrhea trou- bles among the chickens.
