TO MAKE
POULTRY PAY
The Hen, The Rooster and The
Infertile Egg and How To
Provide For Each
Last week I wrote about poul
try. but there is so much to say
about poultry that is useful and
of interest that a dozen letters
would not exhaust the subject.
Three things in the poultry
line 1 want to mention. The
hen first. She lays the eggs
and cackles. Those are com
mendable characteristics of
the hen. She first produces the
goods and then begins to adver
tise, and keeps it up until she
i attracts attention. Some busi
I ness men could profit by the pre
S cepts of the hen. The hen should
have first consideration, for upon
| her rests the responsibility of
l the whole industry. She should
| be properly fed, properly hous
Jed and kept healthy. Give her
plently of grain, plenty of green
I stuff, and some charcoal and
(oyster shells. Don’t overlook
the water. Plenty of clean wat
er is necessary. In freezing
; weather watch the watering
vessels. Sometimes the chick
ens fail to get water for several
days on account of ice. A warm
house, with southern openings
1 ana enougn ventilation ana plen
ty of light, should be made.
Provide good nests with plenty
of straw. Arrange the drop
ping board so it will empty out
side. Keep the hen house
Whitewash the inside and till
the cracks with crude oil. If
you find a hen that is not laying
enough to pay her way, fatten
and eat her. If you are in the
poultry business for profit do not
keep a hen that will not lay 180
eggs a year.
Next consider the rooster. For
breeding purposes get the roos
ter from other flocks, so you can
cross them. Do not raise them.
Get pure bred roosters, that
score high. Pay a good price and
get them. When it comes to
breeding, a good pure bred male
bird is worth half the flock.
When it comes to raising chick
ens, it pays to caponize the
roosters. It makes them mild
mannered, genteel, and quiet.
They fatten fast and grow large
and when cooked are exceeding
ly tender. For these reasons
they bring from $9.00 to $18
per dozen. The caponized roos
ters are not fighters. They are
even doubtful about their own
sex and will take a brood of
chicks and raise them. It is
a simple operation to caponize.
Any poultry supply house will
sell you the instruments and
’give you full instructions how to
use them.
Next is the infertile egg. No
Doay lutes a uau vee> iuh even
when in Human form. The only
place where you can find a mar
ket for a bad egg is on a skunk
farm. Eggs of doubtful quali
ty sometimes find a market for
manufactuimg purposes at a
nominal price, but not enough
to pay the producer for trans
portation. So then, the thing
to do is to ship good eggs. Bad
eggs come from good eggs. Age,
continued warmth and shaking
about makes bad eggs of good
eggs. These facts, well known
as they are, are responsible for
the farmers getting so little
for the eggs they sell. The way
to get around this is to produce
eggs that will stay good eggs
that you can guarantee. Now is
the time to begin. The way, is
to produce nothing but infertile
! eggs. You can do it without
expense, loss or trouble. Just
kill, sell or separate all the
roosters from the hens and keep
them separate. Do you know
what an infertile egg is? It is
an egg that will not hatch. We
all know that among the first
settings we find eggs that will
not hatch. If you examine
closely many of them are infer
tile. They will neither hatch
nor spoil during the setting pe
riod. You can keep them six
weeks and they are still good.
You can set them under the hen
for thirty days and they will be
still as good for cooking as a
fresh laid egg. Try it once and
you will be convinced. I have
tried it. So if you can produce
eggs that will not spoil, you
can produce eggs that you can
guarantee. If you can guaran
tee your eggs you ought to get
the highest market price. The
reason the price to the producer
is so low is because everybody
who handles eggs has to stand
the loss on bad eggs that spoil
in the handling. Eggs are now
retailing in Little Rock at from
35c to 40c a dozen. You know
the price at your end of the line.
The cost of transportation will
not exceed two cents a dozen.
The hotels, the soda fountains
and lunch rooms are aways in
the market for guaranteed eggs.
Get into the game and make
some easy money on infertile
eggs. Kill all the roosters and
buy eggs for hatching purposes.
The hens will lay as well with
out the roosters as with them.
If you need any help to find a
market drop me a line. I will
help you.
