WINTER EGGS FROM
FARM FLOCKS
By Mrs. D. L. McCubbin.
It ia never a problem to get eggs
from the farm flock during the spring
'and summer months. With plenty of
1 injects, tender grass and with the
range of the entire farm, conditions
j are most favorable for biddy to do
. her best, and her cheerful cackle may
cated as nearly as possible biddy will
keep on the job through the coldest
winter weather. It is difficult to say
whether one thing is relatively more
important than another
To begn wth good stock is necessary
purebreads are the best layers and are
most profitable and satisfactory to
keep. Generally the hen lays more
j eggs during her first year and pullets
make the most profit. The housing
of the hens is imnortant. The laviwr
house should be warm and dry, with
plenty of sunshine and ventilation
without draft, as the hen is very
, susceptible to colds
The lesson of
the spring should be remembered es
pecially in feeding for winter eggs,
Variety of feeds is important. Some
animal feed should be substituted for
the insects that the hen finds during
the spring and summer. Milk is good
It is desirable to have some green
feed. We find cowpea hay, steamed
until the leaves are soft, very good
for this purpose and it is interesting
to watch the hens clean it up. When
ever possible it is desirable to trap-
nest the layers, at least for a limited
period. This is for two reasons. It
is the only accurate way to distin
guish the "boarder" from the good
layer, and it enables the feeder to se
lect and mark the eggs from the
best layers for hatching, and thus to
improve the laying qualities of the
flock. Trapnesting our own flock of
thirty-six Rhode Island Reds has
given some interesting results.
Records were kept during the month
of January and February. The aver
age number of eggs laid each day was
10.5. The highest number in one day
was 31. The total number of eggs
laid during the period was 1151. The
record of individual hens for the
period varied from none to 44. The
flock averaged during January 12.5
eggs each and during February 18.6
eggs each.
Eggs " are highest in price
and the farm flock should be most
profitable during the winter season.
With good care results should be most
satisfactory.
COMMUNITY .SPIRIT IN
BARRY COUNTY
It isn't always that a "wildcat" oil
company is a bona fide development
proposition. And it isn't always that
such companies, if they do get oil
wells, distribute the profits to the
people that by rights are deserving of
them.
Because of all this, the Barry
County Oil and Gas Company, which
is putting down a test well southeast
of Monett, deserves special mention.
Originated by business men and farm
ers in and around Jenkins, it has en
listed the support of the business men
of Monett and the farmers of sur
rounding country, the while it lias
steadfastly avoided professional pro
moters and fly-by-night business ad
venturers. Since last July, when the
company came into existence, the
management has not cost the stock
holders one cent. Only the manual
labor has required cash. Even the
drillers themselves have been taking
a very large per centage of their
wages in stock in the company.
It is one oil test that is purely a
community enterprise. The 600 or so
men who have invested money in it
are as much builders of the communi
ty as are the men who set out grape
vineyards and plant apple trees. The
well has been sunk to a depth of 1,500
feet, and the prospects are excellent
for oil it is declared, but even if no
oil is found the men who have made
the test possible are deserving of
much credit for the effort. It is the
ideal way to build any community.
