IHE HEN AS A MONEY , MAKER FOR FARMERS POULTRY BUSINESS CAN BE MADE A FINANCIAL SUCCESS. Statistics Show That f the Average Hen In Elkhart County Is Now a Star Boarder. By FARM EDITOR The poultry business is an asset to agriculture, for.as a phase of farming it is economically sound, and poultry products are a necessity in the human diet, liens can be made a financial success and they lit In with diversified .farming. Success depends on about three tilings, namely, management of the flock, proper .feeding, and proper breeding. Any one of the above conditions -may cause Ule owner to go wrong financially. .JStatistiCs show that last year -one million ewenty-eight thousoand three hundred-dozen of eggs were produced in Elkhart county. These eggs were laid by two hundred firteen thousand hens, or an average of four and three fourths dozens per bird. At -first sight' this appears to be pretty good for one hen. But four, and three-fourths dozens per hetv pej year places her in the star' boarder class; She absolutely does not pay .Tor one-half o*f her feed. The chances are you wonder StfJjMPsyou don’t -at late . fall and winter egg production and it is because you .ha ve se'veral “of the hens on your farm. They start laying in March and April then gradually quit In May, eompleting their year's work. From Jliis time on you have the boarder Tfie fcrllbwlng table shows whot vtni mlgßt expert as a fair percentage of egg production per month: Monthly Egg Production in Percentages-* ■ Pullets Hens November 29 • 5 December. 15. -7 January • 25 10. February 32 25 March ...... v 50 • 45 April 65 60 May ..V 62 .*. 60 June ’ , 50 July -..... 4040 August - 30 25 September 20 10 October 10 <5. >- ___ ;' V . 127 - 103 •Note'—Percentage' meaning ntimber Os eggs lOu hens would lay in one day. From the above table the average yearly puroduction' per hen should be from one hundred three to on? hundred twenty-seven. That” would make'the total egg production for Elkhart county-one million, nine hundnifc.and thirty-six thousand dozens; or an increase of 907,965 dozens. Figuring the average, price paid for eggs in 1920 this would mean, an addition of $363,186,000 to the farming community. Taking in consideration thqt we have 3,131 farmers it would have meant $116:00 to each individual farm. -, Feeding methods is the first thing to consider as s no pip’d, will prddu.ee Uie_ eggs, no matter, how capable she [may be, without proper feed. Tonics' and commercial feeds with one hundred names are on the market, but the following ratioj meets all the needs and. is usually included in the commercial brands. For the dry mash, five pounds bran, five pounds shorts and three and onO-half potinds of meat' scrap. For the grain ration feed ten pounds corn, ten pounds wheat and fire’ pounds oats. In other words, the flock should consume, two pounds of gfSin fc~ every pound of mash.- For high 'egg 'production feed all the birdk will consume. Remember the lo wproducing bird ’eats- just the sameTtsThe high producer so it costs nO more'to fee’d the good ones. It is possible to cull out the short time layers' -and demonstrations were held la'st year at the farms of Mr. Marty of Clinton township, Mr. Immel

erf Jackson townshrp, Mr. Hoffman of Union township, Mr. Green of Elkhart . township, 'all showing results in that the non-laying,, hen was pulled out and sold. . This year two to four culling demonstrations will be held in each township with the idea of eliminating the‘s7 egg producing., hens, Poultry culling usually starts about the month of August and can he continued for the next three months. . are not many commercial flocks in this county, yet we have one that is welt worthy of mention Stauffer'Bros, of Wakarusa, are producing eggs and getting increased production —thereby, lengthening the day. Lights are used at four in the morning and again at evening. They are producing fancywhite eggs forthe eastern market and for hatching purposes. Don’t fail to visit this poultry farm when you are in that vicinity. Ther has been a movement on foot i,o start certified purebred flocks in-this county that would produce and contract their eggs the eqtij-e year for .hatching, and for the fancy egg market TLe big problem for today is to select the breed of chickens you most desire, use good feeding methods and cull out the non-layers. Cull your poultry, hand in your name to the township farm federation secretary that, you want you-r poultry culled. DAUGHTER OF FAMOUSo POET DIES AT DETROIT.
