Young Cockerels Many egg farmers at this season of the year are confronted with the ques- tion as to what they are to do with the cockerels in their crop of chick- ens. The pullets will go in to the laying pens next autumn but the cock- erels have to be taken care of in some other way. Even with the lighter breeds such as the Leghorns, many find it profitable to dispose of the cockerels as broilers, but un- fortunately it turns out that great quantities of these are marketed in a thin unfinished condition. The Live Stock Branch of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa is taking steps to increase the ;market for broiler chicks and find that they could readily do so if the birds were well finished. They find, however, 1n, their investiga- tions that the market is suffering from a surplus of thin scrawny birds that dealers find it difficult to place. The -'officer in charge of this special work, Mr, E. D. Bonyman, urges the advisability of ,properly -finishing the broilers not only for the general effect this has on market condition%, but because it results in a price which makes the extra trouble well worth while. A Rooster Day British Welcome American Admiral Earl Jellicoe Refers to the "Bond of Friendship" Binding the Two Nations London.—"The bond of friendship handed down from 191'T when the Am- erican naval forces joined the British fleet will never be loosened," declared Earl Jellicoe at the Pilgrims' dinner at the Hotel Victoria, in honor of Vice -Admiral Burrage, commander of the United States naval forces p Europe and the officers of the United States flagship Detroit, now paying a short visit to London. Those who had served together dfir- Jllicon- tinued n tinued, always for the thin unfinished birds. Poultry raisers who wish to market large j numbers of young cockerels can un-' doubtedly increase their profits. and! also increase the demand for poultry meats by finishing 'their birds to a plump condition. The Live Stock Branch is taking steps to develop a better market for broilers but they have already discovered that they can make but little progress unless the poultry raiser himself takes the pro- per steps to finish the birds before disposing of them to the poultry trade.
