tt s%ihens are drones, he can reject

the eggs of such at the breeding
time. Having a record of the
parentage of each chick, he need
never be in doubt of the results
of his matings, .

The chief disadvantage of the
trap nest is that it requires a lot
of time to look after it. The;
keeper must. visit his nesta sev-
eral times a day for the purpose
of releasing the layers. Fowls
kept too long in eanfinement suf-
fer loss of vigor. It has. been
stated on good authority that any
pullet lay sixty eggs before the
Ist of March can be counted up-
on to deliver upwards of 150 eggs
the first year. Jt follows from
this that one needs during onlv a
few months to gather records
sufficient for. his breeding season.
To be worth while the trap nest
musi be absolutely certain in ac-
tion. It must keep in the hen
that enters and keep aut all the
others,

Big Birds

poultry show held the first week
in December, the first. prize was
taken by a pair of Indian game
and orpington crossed birds, age
6 1-2 months, that weighed 25 lbs
and 14 ozs., shown by the Mar-
chioness of Londonderry. Sec-
ond and third prizes went to the
Earl of Plymouth whose Indian
game and dark ‘dorking pullets

respectively. A pair of the same
cross won first for cross-bred pul-
lets that weighed 16 pounds 402.
- In the class for pure bred cock-
erels the first prize was won by a.
pair of Indian game birds, 6 1-2
months old that turned the scale
at 18 lbs. 6 ozs., the second prize
winners being one anda half Ibs.
heavier—dark dorkings--but not}
so even as the winners. :
In commenting on the heavy ;
birds a Birmingham paper says:

“the Christmas turkey will have

will be outdistanced ir the race
for a place in the Yuletide bill of
fare by the more humble bird—
the cockerel.”’

Those who-pin their faith to
the turkey will, however, be glad
to learn, says the New York Sun
that Lord Rothchild has bred a
turkey on his Hertfordshire es-
tate that weighs 44 pounds.
These figures seem to point to
the fact that the old country
poultryman, in addition to know-
ing how to breed winning layers,
knows also how tu feed to pro-
duce flesh.

" ‘The Dust Bath

Tf you have provided a dust
bath in your poultry house you
will not. he troubled much with
lice, providing .that your dust
bath is-all right. Ordinary eval
ashes are too dry and obsorb too
much oil from the feathers to be
considered a success in this re-
spect.
you can get is very finely sifted
dirt. With this you can mix
Persian insect powder which you
ean buy in quantity at the store.
This should be placed in a box
the hens can get in, but where
the litter is not-apt to be seratch- | ¥
ed into it.
Many. times the dusting boxes
become filled with litter, with the
result-that the very purpose for
which they have been made has
been defeated. It is very essen-
tial that. the hens have this op-
portunity to dust themselves at
all seasons of the year, Lousy
hens will never do their best at
egg production, and when an-
noyed by lice they are in a con-
tinual state of unrest. Make it
your : business to -look. carefully
