Melange About the Handling _. of Barnyard Poultry How to Tell the 1'.ayers—Conditions ltiecessarz for Production,High Egg -Yielding --. Distribution of Eggs—More Poultry Points. (Contributed by Ontario Department o"' Agriculture, Toronto.) Can You tell which hens are laying without the use of trap nests? This is easy to determine if one will go to the trouble of handling each bird suspected of 'being a loafer, When a hen commences to lay, conditions iu the organs concerned in reproduction are quite different from conditions observed during the period of idle•• ness. When the ovary is dormant and ne eggs are being ,produced the distance between the pelvic bones Is small. The vent is dry, small, puce erect, and, in yellow fleehed chickens, has a band of yellow pigment aroul J the inside. When laying commences the pelvic bones become pliable and spread apart to. ,permit the passage Of the egg. The vent becomes large and moist and the ring of yellow pig- ment disappears. A visit to the pouf try house on au early winter evening and a half hour ,spent in .going, over the hens will be profitable, Conditions Necessary for Production. The experience of the Ontario Agricultural College Poultry depart- ment has been that a hen will not lay if not in good condition. She should be healthy, free fromany disease, and show plenty of vigor and ectivity. The first pullets to lay in the fall. have been the early maturing ones. The pullets that have developed slow- ly in body and feather have been, just as slow in starting to lay. The re- sults pf liberal feeding and general good care have always been reflected in the pullet dock and a full egg basket during the period of early vrinter high prides, Highs Egg Production. The requirements for high egg pro-. duction are clean, dry, comfortable houses, that are free from direct draughts over the birds, and that are well lighted. The feeding consists of a variety of grains, green feed, ani- mal feed, grit and shell, which is clean, sweet and wholesome, and is given to the birds regularly, and in such quantities that they . have all they want to eat before going to roost at night; that the steeply or drinking Material is eleati and bundant; that the attendant is regularin his or her work, and is interested in rhe seine; that the birds are bred from good laying ancestors, and that they are hatched at the proffer season and well reared,' and are free from disease.. Distribution of Eggs. A study of the distribution of the egg production is interesting and im- portant from the point of the annual :returns from the. birds. Egg prices rise and' fall with the seasons, and usually the greatest Profit is made where producing eggs at a season or seasons of the year when prices are high. Bullets are the chief source of egg supply. As stated previously, they require usually from six tp seven months in which to mature. It is, therefore, possible to regulate their production in the fall months at least to some extent by regulating the time they will hatch in the spring.—Dept. 'of Extension,. O. A. College, Guelph. More Poultry Pointers. Crows are likely to steal the eggs from the late turkey nests if the nests are made at some distance from the buildings: Be sure that the young growing chicks are well,fed to promote growth andthat they are given liberal range where there is abundance of green feed and also animal feed in the form of insects, worms, etc. It is poor economy to keep more cockerels than will be needed for next year's breeding operations. If they are sold as soon as they are of broiler or ,fryer size a loss will be stopped and the pullets will do better with out them. Cold, damp, poorly lighted and ventilated poultry quarters favor the spread of such diseases as roup. Such contagious disdaso as these are diffi- cult and sometimes impossible to con- trol unless given attention in the early stages. Wherever preventive measures fail, separate sick birds from the flock as soon as there is evidence of disease and then obtain expert advice to effect a cure. If the chickens must be confined on account of bad weather, provide a. good straw litter to which their grain feed may be scattered. This will give them exercise and keep them inter- ested nterested and healthy. When chickens that have been accustomed to free range are closely confined this fre- quently checks their development for the time being unless they are made contented in their new quarters. Pro- vide green feed for them also. • Indian Runner ducks seem to have gone out of fashion„ which le a Pity, as they are excellent layers, and stand at the head as table fowls. They are easily raised, do not make the disagreeable noises that other ducks do, and eat less than any other breed bred ducks. They thrive on coarse feed, and can be raised cheaply and eafele, as a duck hatched usually means one raised to maturity. When We Plant a Tree..
