VEGETABLES IN FOWLS' DIET Feeding Tests Made With Laying Hens by United States Department of Agriculture. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Scarcity of beef scrap, together with its high price, has ied poultry special ists of the United States department of agriculture to conduct feeding tests with laying hens in which cheaper and more plentiful kinds of protein feed -are tried. In these tests feeds rich in vegetable protein have been used in connection with beef scrap to make up the laying ration. ' One pen of hens, fed a mash con taining 20 per rent beef scrap, pro duced the greatest number of eggs, but a second pen. fed a mash consist ing of 30 per cent peanut meal and 10 per cont beef scrap, produced an average of only 10 eggs less during the test period of 5% winter months. Mashes made with soy-bean meal, cot tonseed meal, and velvet-bean meal, in combination with beef scrap, have been fed with fairly satisfactory re sults. PLAN FOR POULTRY SUCCESS Suggestions Sent Out From Washing ton for Benefit of Practical Chicken Grower. Government poultrymen are appeal ing to the American people, both in the country and in the cities, to increase poultry production as much as possi ble. Tire following nine suggestions have been offered as a means to attain ing this end : 1. Keep better poultry; standard brod poultry improves the quality and increases production. 2. Select healthy, vigorous breeders to produce strong chicks. 3. Hatch curly to produce fall and winter layers. 4. 1'reserve eggs when cheap for home use. 5. Produce infertile eggs, except foi hatching. " C. Cull the flocks to eliminate un profitable producers. 7. Keep a small back-yard flock tc supply the family table. S. Grow ns much of your poultrj feed as possible. 0. Eat more poultry and eggs to con serve the meat supply. PULLETS FOR WINTER LAYERS Weight of Fowl ls Sometimes Good Indication of Future Egg Pro- ; ducer-Use Scales. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Poultry keepers may plan to hater, all their pullets early, but it always happens that a good many pullets are not nearly grown in September, oi even by the first of November. Obvi ously these will never make earls winter layers. They may make profit able layers, though not likely to paj as well as the earlier-hatched hena With the age of the undersized pullets known, and by the use of the scales it is a simple matter at this season to cull out those that it will not pa} to feed through the fall and earlj winter, unless waste feeds are sc abundant that no feed need be bough! for any of the poultry stock. A Plymouth Rock pullet that is fiv( months old in the early part of Sep tember and weighs less than foul pounds is not promising material foi a winter layer; a Wyandotte or Iihod< Island lied pullet that is five month.' Early-Hatched Mature Pullet old at this season and weighs undei three pounds is not a desirable bir( to keep; a Leghorn that is foul months old and weighs less than tw< pounds should also be classed as i cull and used for the table. Birds hav ing these weights with less age ar< desirable in proportion to their age Many poultry keepers who do no mark their chicks when hatched an< let broods of different ages run to gether in the growing season canno tell the age of a pullet with certaintj in the fall, and take it for grantei that the small birds are the late hatched. This error leads to the hold ing of many pullets which, if thel true age were known, woult1 be dis carded for poultry. Have Wandering Spirit. The young turkeys have a wanderin spirit, characteristic of their kind, s be sure that the coop is tight aroun the bottom so they cannot get out ai* wander away from their mother.
