Small Flock Better Than a
Large Garbage Can—Ad-
vice on Chickens.
A small flock of hens instead of a
large garbage can means a sizeable
balance on the side of thrift. In a
nutshell.. that is the essence contairh
ed in the 20 pages of Farmers’ Bullo-
tin 1331. Back-Yard POultry Keeping.
Just issued by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. It is a so
vision of a former bulletin and con-
tains many new suggestions and con~
uiences that will be useful to dock
owers in villages. small towns and
suburbs.
Various uses are now made of the
table waste collected from homes in
towns and suburbs. but practically
”he only use that may be made of it
on the, premises is as feed for chick-
ens. and this use. according to the
bulletin. car. he made very profitable
if the birds are properly selected for
laying qualities and are given good
housing and core. It is assumed that
each lien in h-ir pullet )enr will pro-
duce at least 10 dozen eggs. a rea‘
sonallle requirement of only 1 egg ev-
ery 3 days. The size of the back-
yard flock seldom should go below
10 hens. 'l'en birds laying eggs at
the specified rate will
dozen in a year. which at the conser-
vative price of 40 cents a dozen will
make the flock income “0 a year.
The bulletin is really a handbook
designed to answer any question that
may come up in the mind of the own-
er of a small flock. It covers sucn
subjects as the kind of fowls to keep.
the size of the flock. procuring stock.
housing. arrangement and sanitation
of yards. feeding. lice and mites,
hatching and raising chicks. culling
the hens. preserving eggs, and prac-
tical pointers.
Plans and hills of materials are
given for making houses of low cost
and houses that will fit. various con’
ditions. lntaiis are given on interior
equipment such as roosts. 'droppinn
boards. nest lmxrs. and coops for
hroody hens. It is suggested. for in-
tance. that an orange box can be
made into 2 good nests simply by
nailing a narrow strip of board along '
one side to hold in the straw. The
advantages of a double yard are dis-
cussed. and one paragraph tells of
the value of a. mulberry tree in sup~
plying succulent feed for 3 weeks.
here is a. description of an interest-
ing device for providing fresh green
feed by growing oats through 8-4-
inch mesh poultry wire stretched on
a frame a short distance from the
ground to keep the hens from killing
out the plants.
