Ti e mistake is often made of al-
lowing the pallets to remain upon
the growing range too long. If the
birds are healthy and all other con- j
ditions are correct, there is no rea- !
son why they should- not be re-
moved to the laying houses just as
soon as they reach maturity.
Flocks hatched in March or ear-
lier are ready for the permanent
quarters after midsummer. If wm
leave them on the range too long,
they will start laying, and the re-
sult is that a later -removal to
the laying house with stop produc-
tion or slow it up. One of the
surest ways to hrifigi, on a prema-
ture molt is (lie removal of pul-
liefs, already laying,” to new quar-
ters. .
We naturally expect pullets, which J
start production in the summer, to I
have a late molt, but it is a serious
matter when this molt comes on \
two months before we ought to ex-
pect it. I believe we should hatch !
the pullets at a time that will bring
them to maturity at just the time we'
want them to start laying,1 says a
writer in the. Indiana- Farmers’
Guild. At any rate, the mature
birds should not be left on the
range after they are ready to start
laying. Leghorns, and other egg
breeds, should be ready for housing
at five months of age, while the
large breeds need another month to
reach maturity.
It is a good plan to start feed-
ing the egg mash at about the time
the birds reach maturity. We
should not feed too heavily of egg-
making mash until they are ma-
ture. It is a mistake to force early
production at’the expense of size.
Immature pullets lay small eggs,
and that is not a desirable con-
dition.
Clean up the houses and be ready
for the pullets just as early as you
begin* to' find eggs about the
range. House. them at this time
and you will find it will make a
good deal of difference in the pro-
duction of the flock during the fail
and winter.

The New
Supply Needed Minerals
to Aid Egg Production
It has been estimated that the
shell of an average egg is 8 per
cent of the egg, and that a hen
with a yearly production of 100
eggs requires 1.6 pounds of min-
erals to cover her egg production,
besides what she needs in the line
of mineral matter for the upkeep
of her own body. It is the lack
of this mineral matter that causes
a hen to start the egg-eating, or the
feather-picking habit. Both of these
vices are due to a large extent, to
a deficiency in the ration of some
element that the fowls are craving.
' Keeping oyster shell before the
hens continually helps to supply
minerals to.a considerable extent.
Fresh bones run through a bone
grinder supply much needed ele-
ments. In some towns hones may
l>e had from the local butcher
shops.
In Ohio a good formula for sup-
plying the mineral matter to the
hens’ ration has been worked opt
Tins consists of GO per cent finely
ground bone meal, 20 per cent fine-
ly ground limestone and 20 per cent
salt. This is thoroughly mixed, and
4 per cent Is added to rhe mash Id4
place of meat scraps. If less than
10 per cent of meat scraps is used
both the mineral ration and the
meat scraps may be included in the
mash.

Colds and roup are preventable
diseases. If we remove the
causes the diseases will not occur.

Carbolineum, creosote, or crude
carbolic acid make the best spray
material to use in poultry houses to
keep down red mites.

Watch for the pullets that lay
early and mark them. They make
the high producers—the ones to get
next spring’s hatching eggs from.
* * *
Leghorn pullets should not begin
to lay until they are from five to
six months old. General purpose
breeds take about a month longer.

The vitality and vigor of the
stock must be conserved. If one
breeds from weak and diseased
stock there will he constant trouble
with colds and roup.
