EGG PRODUCTION. j
Making the lien an Efficient Egg!
Machine.
Clemson College, Sept. The two j
.main purposes of poultry raising are i
production and meat production.:
^It is from these sources that we expect
to obtain our revenue.
A pullet or hen is an egg machine. '
Som^ of the essential factors in egg j
production are breeding, feeding and
breeds, says N. K. Mehrhof, b'xten.
sion Poultry Specialist.
I Breeding.?Producttion can be in|
creased materially by the selection
I and mating of high producing fef
males and males. How are we going
F to pick out the high producers? The
[ only accurate method is by the use
^ of trap nests, with which we are able
i to obtain individual egg records.
I With these records on hand, we can
select our best producers and mate
with male birds from high produc
llig iciaaico.
Another very satisfactory method
?t' is culling. Using the physical characteristics,
such as health, vigor and
condition, head and adjuncts, condition
of vent, body conformation,
handling qualities, moult, and pigmentation,
we are able to pick the
producers from the nonproducers.
By culling and discarding the nonproducers,
we can improve the flock
average very materially. It pays to
cull, and now is the time to do it.
Feeding.?Feeding is another matter
the poultryman should carefully
consider. If the flock is not fed a
well-balanced ration we can not expect
a profit. By a well-balanced
ration we mean one in which the
. proportion of protein to carbohydrates
and fats is correct. This proportion
is termed the nutritive ratio
and should be about 1 to 2.8 for the
mash ration and 1 to 8.2 for the
grain ration. The mash is composed
of equal quantities of wheat bran,
wheat middling, ground oats, corn
meal, and meat scraps; and the grain
i ratii n is composed of equal parts of
cracked corn, wheat, and oats.
E oeds.?This is another important
matter to consider. The lighter
breeds, such as Leghorns and Anconas,
are the more economical egg producers.
In other words, a Leghorn can
produce a pound of eggs cheaper than
a Wyandotte or Rock. These light
breeds, principally the Leghorns, are
used on commercial egg farms. For
dottes, Rocks and Reds are the most
the farm flock, however, the Wyandesirable.

eggs, though not as economically, but .
they produce not only eggs, but also
meat products.
America Leads in Wireless Progress. <
William Marconi, who has just returned
to London from his American i:
tour, is enthusiastic over the vast
progress made in wireless telegraphy
and telephony in the United States
since his last visit. In an interview
he declared that the Americans were
far ahead of the English in broadcasting
and in wireless development generally.
"The Americans have reached a
greater perfection of detail than have
the British," the famous inventor
said. "The clearness of speech and
the remarkable ease with which messages
are received in the United
States are amazing."
Mr. Marconi said the music transmitted
by wireless in America was
much clearer than the phonograph
"It is in fact," said he, "as loud as j
many American jazz bands, and that i
is saying a good deal. The party on;
our yacht were able to dance to mus- j
ic sent out by the broadcasting station
at Schenectady, X. V."
In crossing the Atlantic, .Mr. Mar-;
coni was able to make n* rous j
tests of the behavior of what is call-1
ed the atmospheric disturbances.,
These tests seemed to confirm the
opinion that the disturbances which
interfere with wireless originate on i
' ? 1 ? ~4 ? ? o |
the continents ami nui, vu mc
When he was near Europe, they all i
came from the east, or European j
side, whereas, when he was in mid- j
Atlantic, he found that the disturb- I
ances were very few and weak, and j
that they were coming from pretty |
well all around. On nearing Ameri- j
ca, the disturbances from the Euro- i
pean side were very weak, while those I
from the American side were more |
marked.
