CULLING" OF POUL
TRY FLOCK IS IM
PORTANT PROBLEM
a
Your profits this year will depend
upon how well you "cull" your flock.
At this time of the season all your
cull cockerals should be on the mar
ket. It is unwise to hold over any
male birds that you do not intend to
use in breeding hens. The writer
has had a lesson in holding over
cockerals for better markets. Let
me illustrate.
A number of years ago, when we
first took a venture in the chicken
business, we had a ready sale for
early broilers. At that time, we re
ceived a flat price of $1 each for
broilers that dressed 1 pound, by a
high class hotel. These were Leg
horns. Because of the ready sale, we
conceived the idea that if they were
worth so much as broilers, they would
be worth a lot more if held and fat
tened. Result, we held over 100
bhrds, fed them for five months
longer at a cost of $40, and then
tried to sell. The market was glut
ted by the farmers dumping their
product, and the average price was
20 cents per pound. We sold our
flock for $80, and lost $60 on the
transaction. This same procedure is

cull the year round. As soon as we
find a bird that shows signs of molt- )
ing. or stops laying, we immediately
put it to the profit side of our ac
count by killing it off. The hens
that are laying in September will be
good birds to hold over for your
breeding pens next season.
The cockerals you hold over for
breeders should have all range avail

other birds. Feed them on hard
grain and do not let them get too
fat. Keep a close watch for cowards.
If you see the irds chasing one, and

EXPERIMENTS SHOW VALUE
OF MUTTON AS A FOOD
The production of sheep for wool
alone is rapidly on the wane in the
United States. More and more em
phasis is being placed on the produc
tion of lamb and mutton for the ta
ble, although only 3.7 per cent of the
meat cojisuimed by the average
American for the last five years was
lamb or mutton. This proportion
should be much larger, according to
the United States Department of Ag
riculture, as mutton and lamb are
among the most healthful, nutritious
and palatable of meats.
The reason for the limited use oi
lamb and mutton throughout the cen
tral section of the United States
probably had its origin in the days
of the development of the great corn
belt region west of the Appalachian
Mountains, department workers say.
At that time the sheep owned by the
settlers of that region came largely
from the North Atlantic states and
had been developed almost without
exception for wool production, re
gardless of the inherent flavor of
the meat. The flesh of these animals
was no doubt tough, not so palatable
as other meats, and possibly, owing
to the crude methods of caring for
it, much of it was unfit for use. As
this section of the country has been
somewhat slower in the development
of mutton breeds cf sheep, and as
much prejudice against the meat has
been handed down from generation
to generation, there ha^ developed
the idea that the flesh of all sheep is
not appetiing and carries peculiar
flavors.
There is a characteristic taste in
cooked mutton and lamb, due to the
chemical contents of the meat fat.
that makes it easy to distinguish!
from other kinds of meat. The same]
is true of beef, chicken, venison, or
rabbit. In order to prove that this]
taste was not unwholesome and that)
the meat was palatable, experiments
were made in the Bureau of Animal
Industry- of the department, in
operation with the Office of Home
Economics, which proved that lamb
and mutton are wholesome, appetiz
ing, and economical meats for fam
ily use, ranking well up with other
meats in fopd value per pound. The
fact that only a small proportion of
sheep carcasses are condemned under
government meat Inspection furthers
the opinion of department workers
that mutton an$ lamb should
used more generally.

MULE'S POPULARITY ON
FARM INCREASING
The ability of the mule to endure
hardship and perform sterling service
under adverse conditions has estab
lished him as a real asset in Amer
ican agriculture, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and his importance and popularity as
a wprk animal is attested by his rap
idly increasing use. In
number of mules on farms and ranch
es was 4,209 381, an increase during
the decade of nearly 30 per cent.,
Nearly three-fifths of all the mules,
in use in the United States are
1910, the
foynd;
in the nine Cotton Belt States. These',
states, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma,j
Alabama.
Mississippi,
Arkansas,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Louisiana had a total of 3,172,797
mules in 1920 as compared with
2,855 257 horses, Texas and Oklaho
ma were the only Cotton Belt states
having more horses than mules.
While the mule is essentially a
draft animal, it is widely used for
utility purposes, especially in the
south. Mules vary in height from
12 hands to 17 hands and in weight
from 600 pounds to 1,600 pounds.
They are divided into five general

classes: Farm, draft, sugar, cotton,
and mining. Each of these classes
again js graded according to con
forination, soundness, quality, condi
tion, and action, and classified as
choice, good ,mediu!m, common or in
ferior.
The general form and appearance
of the mule should resemble closely
that of a horse, and in judging mules
the same general points of perfection
are to be looked for. The
the mule approaches the ideal desir
ed in a draft horse the more valuable
he is from a market standpoint, de
partment specialists state. The form
of the mule should be compact, with
a deep body, broad chest, full flanks,
short back and well-sprung ribs. The
loins should be broad, short, and
thickly muscled; the croup long and
level; the hips, long, level, and mus
cular; the thighs thick, long, and well
muscled; and the hind legs well set
with broad, clean-cut hocks and flat,
nearer
dense bone. The mule shpuld stand
on good feet that are well shaped.
While style and action may not be
so important in a mule as they are
in the lighter breeds of horses, these
qualities add materially to its value.
A smart, alert mule with a long, free
stride at the walk and a snappy, bal
anced trot is highly desired.
ENDING
UNEMPLOYMENT
5,000,000 wage earners was one of the
most serious problems confronting
the United States when the republi
can party took charge in March,
1921. The problem was not peculiar
to the United States. It was world
wide.
Enforced idleness of more than
The republican administration set
about, through legislative and admin
istrative measures, to relieve the sit
uation. It did not attempt this by
temporary makeshifts, class legisla
tion or appeals to prejudice. It gave
its attention to underlying causes
which produced this unprecedented ar
my of unemployed.
Agricultural interests
normally
consume about 40 per cent of the
manufactured goods of the United
States.
When the republican party
came into power this class of con
sumers was "out of the market" be
cause agriculture was almost pros
trate. By an emergency tariff which
protected agricultural producers, by
empowering the War Finance corpor
ation to make emergency loans and
by other legislation, the purchasing
power of the farming and livestock
interests was increased. This
suited in increased industrial inter
borrowing of money upon the part of
industrial and commercial interests
re
ests and increased employment.
High interest rates discouraged the
for purposes of extensions and im
provements. Interest rates were re
duced and business of all kinds was
thereby stimulated
Immigration was adding to the
problem of unemployment. The early
enactment of the restrictive immi
gration act reduced the influx of
competitive foreign labor to a point
where it was not economically a men
ace to the laboring classes of the
United States.
Taxes, which in the last analysis
are paid by the wage earners, were
drastically reduced. The man
small income was the particular ben
eficiary of the republican tax law,
having his exemptions increased at
the same time many other taxes
which he paid were repealed.
Later the passage of a protective
tariff gave assurance to industry and
labor that the activity and prosperity
which had been brought about by the
republican administration would be
protected from destructive foreign
competition.
The result of all this is common
information- Today in the United
States more wage earners are em
ployed at better average wages than
ever before in the history of the
country in times of peace. The con
dition of labor in the United States
today is incomparably better than in
any other nation. In many other
countries unemployment is still a ser
ious problem.
Not only is labor in this country
employed at good wages but thej^
standard of living of American laboi
is higher than in any other country,
working conditions are better, hours
are shorter, and living costs are rel
atively lower.
It is due to the policies of the re
publican party during the last half
century that the standard of living,
the standard working conditions and
the level of wages in this country
are all better than in other countries.
Practically all laws which have been
enacted from time to time for the
betterment of working conditions,
particularly those of the woman and
child in industry, are of republican]
origin
The northern republican states
have always led the way in labor re
form legislation. Today the labor
laws of the northern republican
states are more advanced than those
of the democratic states of the "Sol
id South," Of 17 states whose laws
are equal to or superior to the stand
ard of federal laws, all but two are
republican states of the north.
No one knows better than the
working man that class legislation,
in the long run, hurts the very class
it is intended to favor. No one re
ceives greater benefit from nation
wide prosperity than the wage earn
er. It has always been the policy of
the republican party to support such
progressive, constructive legislation
as would promote the general wel
fare.
