PAGE SIX Poultry Pointers For January In this time of comparatively low prices for poultry meat and eggs nearly every day some farmer tells us that there isn’t anything to be made with chickens. The men who tell us that, however, are not those who are getting 40 to 60 per cent production from their hens, as a few owners are doing. A survey of the poultry manage-1 ment of farm flocks shows that the majority are not properly housed. A comparatively small per cent of the flocks are well fed and where the owners are feeding much of the feed is wasted because of poor equipment. Fewer still have an ade quate supply of fresh clean water and next to air that is the least ex pensive essential to maintain life. Because of poor housing or insuffi cient floor space in the houses the birds are given free range which means they spend much of the day, humped up in sheltered spots and away from feed and water. Many of the flocks are badly infested with lice. The bad things named above surely do not apply to many who receive i these monthly pointers but do to some of their neighbors. It might be a good thing for the better in formed to talk chickens a little more1 during the next twelve months. Tell your neighbors that flock of hens gives some income every week and a profit over all costs if properly managed. During January atten tion should be given the following: 1. Provide clean, fresh, warm wat er several times daily. Laying hens must drink lots of water and won’t drink enough if it is ice cold. 2. Give the hens an opportunity to eat as much grain and mash as they can. They must have grain to maintain body temperature and mash to make eggs. 3. Confine the hens until noon. They will eat more feed and pro duce more and cleaner eggs. If the house isn’t large enough for the flock, cull the birds to fit the house or remodel and enlarge the house. Crowding doesn’t pay. 4. Treat the birds for lice. Nico tine sulphate or sodium fluoride does the work. Lice multiply the year around. You might be surprised to find that your birds have lice. Look. 5. Gather the eggs often in freez ing weather and store them in a cool room. 6. Do you know whether your flock is showing a profit or is being kept at a loss? Keep records. Your guess may not be right. 7. The information you may need to be able to make poultry keeping more profitable is contained in free circulars which you can obtain from your county agent. 8. Resolve to do a more efficient job than you ever did before. Work, not neglect, is necessary if profits are made.
