Article by J B Jeffrey urges poultry keepers to maintain clean houses to combat mites and lice which cause greater losses than other factors. Recommends a 10 percent kerosene emulsion sprayed inside twice five to seven days apart, plus weekly kerosene on roosts in hot weather with careful application to avoid blistering birds.
The article urges precise age tracking of fowls using leg bands or foot punches to mark each bird at maturity and stresses culling older hens for profit. It also advises poultry house sizing, noting ten square feet per fowl as optimal and condemning overly crowded spaces as harmful to egg production.
A Chicago Daily News fragment depicts golf fever turning players into loud, self important winners and sulking losers. Edward brags of scoring, caddies irritate, meals at the terrace become battlegrounds as families endure the sport’s exhausting drama.
The piece divides culture into musical literary and artistic categories. It surveys musical culture as motifs money and half nakedness with grand opera in virulent display. Literary culture mixes rhapsody hysterics toady ism and mania and notes rare cures in youth through sudden marriage. Artistic culture splits into realistic impressionistic and mystic with differing aims and outcomes.
A fatigued traveler in a motor car party dozes passing stations and wakes on a back seat with a red lamp glaring, fearing an engine nearing. The group had diverged on a boulevard turn, the others pressing on a new tira.
J. L. Jones of the Oklahoma Experiment Station argues trap nests reliably reveal egg production. He notes average flocks yield 40 to 245 eggs per hen with traps, while results without traps remain uncertain and likely unsatisfactory.
The article explains using trap nests to manage hens and identify each hen’s eggs, preventing egg eating and improving strain building. It describes a bank of trap nests, their simple operation, and the low cost of manufacture, not exceeding 15 cents per unit.
Breeding stock should be the best in the flock. Selling only the top birds harms long term profits. Careful selection matters as much as size and health. Poorly bred poults limit future gains and large birds require prudent timing for breeding.
The text explains pawls must release most bodily waste via the lungs. They do not sweat like other animals, but breathe faster when heated. To stay healthy a den requires roughly seven times more fresh air relative to its size than a horse.
Observes that there is notable variation among different families or strains of each breed and between the breeds themselves. Advises accepting some degree of praise or condemnation toward any breed due to these differences.
