H. L. Shradw:, ejjjgn- sion poultryman of the ? UfRed States Department of Agriculture, cites records kept in Missouri to prove this claim. Flocks raised according to the five rules of the healthy-chicks program averaged 165 eggs per hen with an income over feed cost of $2.66 per hen, while flocks raised under ordinary methods produced only 147 eggs per hen, with an in come of $1.86. The difference in favor of the “Grow healthy chicks” plan was 18 eggs and 80 cents net income per bird. The first rule is to use clean eggs, which means those from flocks which are free from bacill ary white diarrhea. The next rule is to use clean brooder houses. A thorough clean-up before the hatching season will take care of this point. Clean feed, the third requisite, calls attention to the need of sanitary feed hoppers. Clean ground, to the poultrymen, is ground on which no poultry manure has been scattered nor any poultry allowed to range the prev ious year. The final rule is to sep arate cockerels and pullets, so that special care can be. given the pul lets. X Turkeys convey gapeworms to chickens, and chickens convey blackhead to turkeys. Don’t raise both unless you can keep them well separated. The hard spots in life are never recognized until you bump into them. OPERA HOUSE ABBEVILLE, S. C. Thurs.-Fri.
