EARLY FEATHERS, NOT
FINE FEATHERS, TALK
QUALITY OF CHICKEN
H. A. C. Poultnymeii Disclose Method
for Culling Mere "Lookers" from
Beal Layers in Poultry Flocks
Tt is not so much fine feaJtbers that
make ithe bird, as it is early feathers,
according to the department of poultry of the Michigan Agricultural college, which has Just issued a report
on the results of eullng experiments
conducted at the experiment station
in 1918.
"The inves|tigat!ons indlcrted that
a, direct relation exists between quick
maturity and egg production," the report; sets forth, "Chicks taken frcm
the incubators at the college poultry
Harm on March 1, 1918, commenced
laying at th© beginning of the second
week in July, and are proving themselves most excellent prdoucers during the present winter season).
"These layers were selected as
likely birds before they commenced
laying by observing certaiin things.
At hatching time the chick is covered with down. The firgt feathers to
appear aire *he wing feathers. These
are followed by ithe tail feathers, and
then come the feathers on the breast,
and finally those upp.i the back. If
the back: of the young pullet is well
feathered at six weeks, provided she
belongs to one of ,the smaller breeds,
or at seven weeks, if she belongs to
one of the larger breeds, it Is a sign
that she probably will come into a
laying condition at an early age if
she is properly fed and housed. Thus,
one of our pullets which showed these
signs of early maturity, and commenced laying on July 8, produced 27
eggs during the first 28 days In December. On the other hand, one of the
late maturing pallets> has not yet
produced a single egg."
Information on how flocks can be
culled can be obtained by mailing a
request to the department of poultry
at M. A. C, It is. announced. "

HA YE YOG A JOB FOft
ANY ONE OF THESE?
The U. S. Employment Service Wants
Jobs for Returning U. S. Soldiers.
TheltSask of finding suitable jobs for
liie hundreds of thousands of soldiers
and sailors who are being discharged
every month has been assigned to the
United States Employment Service.
In addition to this the Service is being called upon to return literally
millions of war workers to peace occupations.
These returning boys who gave up
3veryttiiing that America might have
a great National Army have a right
to expect to be placed in positions at
once where they can resume their
proper places in civil life and be self
supporting and self respecting citi-
•ens. They do not want charity;—
what they want is jobs and we have
got to give filiem **obs-
In the year 1918 the Service placed
over 3,0.00,000 men and women in essential war work. It is now finding
Jobs for z'-eze war workers and the
returning soldiers- and sailors at the
rate pf 100,000 a week, and applications for jobs are coming in at the
nsite of 140,000 a week. It cannot
hope to keep this up, however, without the .active cooperation of every
state, every county, every community
from New York City to the smallest
hamlet, as well as every individual
man and woman in the country.
Will you help?
Max Fosdick resumes his old position with the Detroit Edison Company U

20 PERCENT PER YEAR
INCOME FROM ORCHARD
Uuder the title *"The Financial His--
tory of a Twelve Year Old Poach Or-
cihard,"' the department of the experiment jatation at M. A. C. is publishing
a bulletin telling ' about one of the
state's most successful small fruit
farms. The bulletin tells about.a
tweilve-years-old peach orchard pf 15
acres which 'was part of a general
farm. During the bearing period the
orchard -earned an income of better
than 20% net on a valutatrion estimated-at 'about $500 an acre. Individuals
desiring copies of the bulletin, which
is still on the press, are advised that
these .can be procured by mailing a
i*equest to the director of the experiment station, in East Lansing.  .
County Puoltry Show at Chelsea Fehruary 18, 19 and 20.
The County Farm Bureau has ."bund
that many ifarms of the county have
very good utril&y flocks of poultry. It
is -especially desired th(at such farms
~nter their flocks at the poultry show
In Chelsea Februairy 18, 19 and 20.
Substantial premiums will be awarded. The bureau desires to emphasize
he poultry industry throughouft the
county during the coming year. A
number of especially good flocks are
desired as the foundation of breeding
itock and to supply eggs for h'atch-
'ng. The show In Cha'lsea nesjt month
will be an excellent opportunity for
farms having good flocks to advertise
their toeied. Good utility birds are
much in demand for breeding stock
and eggs fc*r hatching. Better poultry on the farms of Washtenaw county Should be the slogan for the coming yeaa*.
Average Egg Production Low.
Conservative   estimates   place   the
early  individual  egg production of
the avereige hen of the farm fleck to
ba abcut 70 eggs.   A hen, to be proS'--
b'e, with the feed at present prices,
•should produce 100 to 150 eggs annu-
xlly.  T!he quality of the average farm
"ock can be materially improved by
si">g b-tter breeding stot-k and cull-
ng out the 'drones each year.      The
"b-pty   fai'Tn   bureau is interested in
oomoting the development of bqtter
gg l&yCng strains   among   the   farm
o.ks.   Practical, demonstrations have
-liown that this can be done.
Methods of poultry management and
'improvement will be fully discussed
it the County Poultry Sohool and
Show; in Ohelscla., February iSth, 19th
