BEAUTY AND EGGS COMBINED
Puzzling Question as to Whether
These Desirable Qualities Are
Found In Same Hen.
(By T. E. QUISEXBERRT, Kansas
City. President of American School of
Poultry Husbandry.)
. Caa utility nnd beauty be combined
Ju the same fowl, or, in other words,
is it possible to combine ecg produc
tion and standard requirements? If
not, we had better change the stand
ard where necessary. It is said that
the life of the average fancier is three
years. If this be true, it is our duty
to get busy and help him develop ways
and means by which he will be enabled
to make more dollars and cents and
thus stay longer in the business which
he has chosen and in which we are all
pleased to have him engage.
We hear many arguing for and
against the question of combining
"utility and beauty." Instead of say

Experiment Station.
lng it cannot be done, had we not bet
ter be trying to harmonize and com
bine these two desirable qualities?
A hen that never laid an egg would
naturally be expected to score some
higher than a hen of the same variety
that laid a great many eggs, but we
would rather have a hen that scored
90 and laid 200 eggs than to have one
scoring 94 that laid only 90 eggs. The
man ls either prejudiced or narrow
minded who would attempt to discour
age the breeders from making an at
tempt to combine these two qualities
in all varieties of poultr7. The stand
ard of perfection calls for 100 points
ior each variety. No one ever saw a
bird or perhaps ever will see one that
ls perfect or would score 100 points.
~~JBnt thftt-is. .no_jreasuu v?b?r ^4 shtrCrd
4llsc75urage breeders in their efforts to
breed more perfect specimens. It is
just as sensible to do that, however, as
it is to try to tell them they cannot
combine utility and beauty to a great
er degree than they are found in the
average flock at the present time. The
thing to do is to make the effort and
quit arguing about it. We are con
vinced that it can be done. If it can
not be then it is high time we had that
certified.
Today, eight or more of our leading
state colleges of agriculture aud uni
versities are puttiug on contests and
hundreds of progressive poultrymen
are having their birds officially trap
nested. The breeder who has a good
egg record and a good show record
back of his birds is the one who is
getting the business.
FEED DURING MOLTING TIME
Partially Starving Hens to Make Them
Lose Feathers at One Time ls
Not Good Practice.
Hens should be fed liberally during
the molting season. Partially starving
the hens to make them lose as far
as possible all their feathers at one
time, thus straining the vitality of the
fowls to provide entire new growths
of feathers so quickly, is not a good
practice.
The meihod may be good when fol
lowed by an expert, but ordinarily it
Injures thc Hock. As a rule, a reason
ably long molting period, during whicb
time tlie birds are well cared for, pro
duces the best results. Sunflower
seed, oil meal and other oily feeds fed
during the molting season aid in the
growth of foutliers.
CLEAN WATER IS NECESSARY
Keep Drinking Fountains En Cool Place
and Give Fresh Supply Three
Times Daily.
Cool, clean water is necessary for all
kinds of poultry, young and old, at
this season of the year. Therefore,
keep the drink dishes clean and disin
fect them frequently and give a fresh
supply of cool water, with the foun
tain in a shady place, at least three
times a day.
BEGINNING MUST BE SMALL
Poultry Farms Will Be Successful
When Properly Built and Man
aged-More Are Needed.
This country needs more poultry
farms, and they will be successful
^rhen properly built and managed.
But the beginning must be small
and the growth gradual, so that every
part of the work is promptly noted
and correctly performed.

All the male citizens between the
ages of 21 years and 60 years, except
those exempt by law, are liable to a
poll tax of One Dollar each. A capita
tion tax of 5u cents each is to be paid |
on all dogs.
The law prescribes that all male citi
zens between the ages of 18 and 551
years must pay $2.00 commutation tax
or work six days on the public roads.
As this is optional with the individual,
no commutation tax is included in the
property tax. So ask for road tax re
ceipt when you desire to pay road tax.
