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. They may lay as many . I Priii n - VjI May \ Put a c( i I I SER k m Tell Your t I KINGST 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. ? ? i; Milk and Cream |; \ J Let me furnish your Milk, ? \ | Buter and Cream.
