AUGUST SALES

Mmost 300 Pep Cent

20,638 SOLD LAST I0HTH
Gives Promise of (teaching the
300,000 Goal Aimed At for
This Year
Twenty thousand six hundred
and thirty-eight Ford cars were
sold during the month of August,
this year. This is not a production
figure, but the actual sales made
during the month. On the other
hand, it does inot represent orders
received, for the Ford Motor com
pany is still thousands of cars in
arrear of orders received. It re
presents. therefore, 20,638 deliv
ered sales.
These figures are extremely
significant. They mean that the
sales for August, 1914, are almost
300 per cent more than August,
1913, the Ford Motor Company
sold, in round 'numbers, 7,547
cars. When it.is remembered that
August is always the lightest
month of the year in sales the fig
ures take on a new meaning. The
real significance in this larger
volume of sales lies in the fact
that it encourages the faith that
the Ford Motor Company will
reach its goal of 300,000 cars for
this year.
When the company announced
the new profit sharing plan
whereby the buyers of Ford cars
between August 1st of this year
and August 1st. 1915, were to re
ceive a rebate of from $40 to $60,
in addition to an immediate re
duction in price, provided 300,000
cars were sold within that period,
there was doubt expressed -4)y
some unfamiliar with the nature
of the Ford business that such
large sales could be obtained.
That the Ford company knew
what it was about and was1 not
lacking in conservation or sincer
•, ity, is proved by these August
sales. To increase the sales of the
dullest month by 300 per cent in
dicates that the demand is pres
ent for the 300,000 Ford cars.- for
if August jumps that much what
will happen when the sales really
get under way in the real selling
months.
MOLTING PERIOD IN FOWLS
(By O. W. Dynes, N. D. Ex. St.)
Each year the hen goes through
1 a physicological process known
Sjas molting in which the fowl
I sheds the old. feathers and repla
ces them \Kjth new. This is a very
.serious drain on the vitality of
the laying hen. Usually they cease
Jlpying entirely during the T.onths

her. In North Dakota where the
late fall and early winter usual!/
furnish cold weather, it is a per
iod of etxreine barastup tor Turin
poultry unless ihey are properly
taken care of. The New York Sstate
College of Agriculture has made
some interesting findings, regard
ing the molting period of Jowls.
This may be summarized as fol-
lov|s- lieu
feathers more
auickly in those areas which pro
tect the vital parts.
2 From the incubator to the
laying period, chicks eperiemys at
least four moltings, either par
tially or completely.
3. Hens frequently lay during
the summer while partially molt
ing but seldom during the general
molting.
4. Young hens molt more
quickly than older ones.
5. Hens molting very late molt
in less time than those molting
earlier
6. Hens molting very late give
a higher yearly production than
those molting .earlier.
7. Hens lose in weight while
molting.
8. Broodiness appears to re
tard molting.
9. Starving the hens appears
to increase broodiness.
10. Hens molting early re
sume production more quickly af
ter molting than those molting
lst6r«
ll! Hens molting early lay
more eggs during early winter
than hens molting later.
12. The most prolific hens
molt latest,
It is thus seen that hens which
inolt late are usually the heavy
producers. There is a lesson in
this for every poultry keeper in
jNorth Dakota. Take proper care
of the hens that molt late because
of the cold weather. Such hens
make excellent breeders in the
spring and should be properly
cared for. This can be done by
nutting them into the house ear
ly a.nd not allowing them to suf
fer from the cold winds.
The shedding of feathers is a
heavy drain on the constitution of
the fowl because it is necessary
to manufacture a new coat. The
making of new feathers can be
greatly aided bv feeding highly
protein or meat foods. The ordi
nary grains )ike wheat, corn and
oats? do not contain enough pro
tein. Meat scraps from tli« house
or commercial beef scraps are
necessary if best results are to
be obtained. If a fowl is. thorough
ly chilled and thereby weakened
by late molting during sold wea
ther, she will fiijd it difficult to re
cuperate until late winter or early
spring. By giving her ixtra care
she can be started laying much
earlier in the winter.
Green Food for Poultry
During the late fall and early
spring the addition of green food
to the rations of the hens will
well repay the efforts of the poul
try keeper. This can be furnished
in many ways. Green cut alfalfa,
corn fodder, lawn clippings or
clover are excellent green foods.
If these are not available, roots,
such as mangles or turnips, are
very acceptable. Many good poul
try keepers feed both. This, of
course, is in addition to the regu
lar grain rations. By using a lit
tle thought during the growing
season enough of this material
can be cured in a dark room or
some place where light is exclud
ed for ^winter consumption.
Early Winter Laying
Late hatched pullets rarely lay
until the middle of the winter or
early spring. Chickens should be
hatched in April or May if they
are expected to furnish eg*** in
the late fall or early winter. The
season in North Dakota is quite
short and it is oftesn difficult to
get fully matured pullets before
winter'sets in. This can be done,
however, bv early hatching and
proper feeding of the pullets dur
ing the later summer and early
fall. If the puHets 4o not receive
their ^proper growth by tlie first
of November'i}4^ow tigms of
laying it is doubtful whether they
will lay to
