Hffl FIT CHICKENS FOR EXHIBIT AT FAIRS < ■ Must Be at Their Best to Carry Off Prizes. Before chickens can win many prizes at fall fairs, they must be carefully selected and fitted for the show. It is only by a careful, systematic examination that one can find all th* faults of a bird. “Before Selecting the birds to be entered, place the males in individual coops and the females either in these Individual coops or small group coops,” advises C. F. Parrish, extension poultryman. “Those having many birds to/ condition may equip a building for the purpose, though most small exhibitors useMemporary quarters.’The important thing is to have the birds where they may be handled easily at any time without the possibility of making them wild or breaking the plumage.” Mr. Parrish, does not advise force feeding to get the birds in shape. There are times, however, when a few extra ounces of flesh may turn a decision in a bird’s favor. Extra feeding may also help to develop a better plumage. The best way to go about getting these desirable attributes is in the addition of a more concentrated and palatable feed to the regular ration. ) Practically all white birds are washed before exhibiting. One that has hot been washed looks out of place in strong competition. Four tubs are needed to do this effectively. In the first, the water must be warm and plenty of soap suds used. Thi§ is rinsed off in gradually cooler watpr in the other three tubs, with bluing added to the last one. After washing, allow the bird to stand in a dripping coop for 30 minutes before going into the exhibition coop to dry completely. Use of Artificial Light i in Henhouse Indorsed The use of artiflcal light in the houses of the laying hens in September and October is proving a profitable practice on many New Jersey farms, reports C. S. Platt, research specialist at the state college of agriculture; New Brunswick. It has, explains Mr. Platt, the advantage of prolonging the length of the day in the early fall and seems to give an increased g egg production in the months when large eggs Ore demanding a premium price. This' is an extension in the rise of artificial lights, which heretofore have been used exclusively on pullets and solely in the winter. Any system'of artificial light may be used, starting it when the daylight or working hours for the liens fall below thirteen. If the mojraing system is used, the lights are put bn from 4:30 a. in. until daylight. The evening system calls for lights from dusk until 6:30 or 7 p. m., ami the evening lunch system from 8:30 to 9:30 p. m. The purpose of the light, of Is to increase the food consumption. For best results 100 birds should consume from 10 to 12 pounds of grain daily and an'equal amount of mash. Moist mash may be fed to gopd advantage. The light should be discontinued about November 1, and the birds allowed to go through a resting period of two or three months. No Place for Roosters Among the Laying Hens “Farmers of the central states lose $30.0000.000 to ?.'>O.AW.OOO a year on account of producing eggs that are fertile. When they move into commerce they are removed and destroyed,” says Paul Mandeville, secretary of the United States Egg society. “ A more serious loss occurs.” Mandeville says further, “from slowing down consumption of all eggs while these poor eggs are being forced on unwilling buyers. It is well known tlrnt a chief advantage of handling California eggs is the fact that they are infertile." Remove all roosters young and from the laying flock. Poultry Hints Unless the range is clean, chickens may be kept in a house as surgically clean as an operating room yet die from filth diseases. Not the food put -before them but what they can get outside is responsible for intestinal disorders of poultry. • • • The use of barley to replace yellow corn in-poultry rations should be de- * termined by the relative prices of the two. grains and the availability of sources of vitamin A. • •Im In the opinion of many poultry specialists broilers should be sent to market as soon as they are salable. As the chick makes the most rapid growth during the first few weeks of its life, It costs more and takes longer to put bn weight after it has reached a pound in weight • • • Ground barley is a satisfactory substitute for ground yellow corn in a standard laying mash when the scratch grain Is composed of a large per cent of shelled yellow corn and green feed is available for the birds. • ,♦ ♦ As a general rule turkeys which have been raised on free range cannot be fattefied successfully in close confinement They may be successfully fattened, however, if confined to moderate sized fields which are in alfalfa or contain stacks of alfalfa. • • • The tynn •'chicken" 9 Is specifically a fowl under one year of age; commonly a fowl of any age. A “pullet" is usually considered to be under twelve months of age; after that she is a “hen.” Like ages apply to' "cockerels” and “cocks.”
