incubator man, brooder man, feeder, egg 
collector, breeder, marketman and buyer, 
all in one, began to understand the thing, 
began with the aid of other “one-man” 
men and the experiment stations, to get 
the right feeding methods and housing 
methods. He analyzed more accurately 
his mistakes; he devised accurate selec¬ 
tion methods and, most important, he 
began to get increased, greatly increased 
flock averages, many of which not. only 
meant double gross returns, but the dif¬ 
ference between profit and loss. This 
one-man poultry farm became the stand¬ 
ard, and many went into business follow¬ 
ing this type. People could again begin 
dreaming of larger poultry farms, but 
this time with more caution. This time 
these men had solid knowledge, learned 
from the one-man farm, to build on, and 
gradually, not over night, but over a 
period of years, these la~ger plants were 
growing, not in most cases developing a 
more efficient type, not making more, and 
in most cases not so much per bird, but 
still building a plant sound and correct. 
War Conditions. —Pre-war conditions 
were beginning to tell on a great many 
of these one-man farms, as well as the 
larger ones, and when actual war condi¬ 
tions came along, it hit them pi^etty hard. 
Only the best and the financially solid 
weathered it. Not so much as a grea 1 ’ 
many think due to high-priced feed, but 
the lack of supplies and the uncertainty 
of conditions. Those who were able to 
“buck” war conditions have already be¬ 
gun to reap benefits, and many of the 
ones who dropped out or cut down their 
plant are coming back with vigor and 
bringing beginners with them. This so- 
called “boom” is a pleasure to watch, 
because most of it is sound and right. 
The war conditions and high prices have 
taught many things in a hurry that other¬ 
wise would have required many years. 
One very important lesson these last few 
years have taught us is the sound, solid, 
economical place of poultry in agriculture, 
and that one need not fear, at least for 
years to come, over-production or over¬ 
population of poultry farms, even if this 
boom were 10 times what it is now.

Questions About Trap-nests 
In the present high cost of feed it is of 
great importance that you keep only hens 
that lay at least 125 to 150 or more eggs 
yearly, and to ascertain this, a good, and 
at the same time not too expensive trap- 
nest is of great importance. Can you 
give me this information? When the two 
yards are in use with the automatic trap- 
nest, the chicken goes on the nest from 
yard No. 1 through an open door. Must 
it remain open after she is on the nest, 
and must door into yard No. 2 remain 
closed until hen has laid her egg, and then 
opens by falling of the egg on a trap, 
which opens door into yard No. 2 and 
closes door into yard No. 1. and thus lets 
chicken into yard No. 2, with an egjr to 
her credit? Then door to yard No. 1 
opens for entrance of another chicken. 
Or does every bird that goes on the nest 
lay an egg. and if not must she be al¬ 
lowed to return to yard No. 1 as a non¬ 
layer for that time at least? If you can 
do with an automatic door into yard No. 
1 then it makes trap-nest much cheaper, 
hut if you must confine the hen on the 
nest until she has laid an egg and by it 
opens door into yard No. 2, it makes it 
more expensive. If I have not made my¬ 
self clear, what I wish to know is, -when, 
and what time, must the two doors be 
open and closed? R. F. 
Scarsdale, N. Y. 
There have been several makes of auto¬ 
matic trap-nests on the market, some of 
which work differently from others; but 
for several reasons these automatic nests 
have not become very popular. Although 
there are many poultry farms in this part 
of New Jersey I do not know of a single 
farm w T here these automatic nests are In 
practical use. One of the best nests of 
this kind that I have seen allows a 
hen to enter, but does not close the door 
after she passes through. If she does not 
lay she can come right back into the pen I 
from which she entered the nest. If she j 
does lay the nest turns half way round, | 
allowing the hen to enter pen No. 2 when 
leaving the nest, and as hen leaves the 
nest she automatically trips a catch which 
allows the nest to turn hack into position . 
for another hen, the turning being done 
by means of a weight. The chief objec¬ 
tion to these nests is the fact that spe¬ 
cially constructed nests of this kind do 
not offer a very inviting place for a hen 
to lay, and Mrs. ITen does not always 
act just as she is supposed to. Quite 
often she lays on the floor, or two hens 
may get in the nest at once, and if one 
lays, both may get the credit. I have 
never seen one of these automatic nests 
which closed the door to pen No. 1 when 
hen went on the nest, and do not think it 
would work very well, as quite often hens 
want to come off the nest without laying, 
and make quite a fuss if forced to remain 
on the nest. Another disadvantage of 
these nests is the high cost of anything 
containing mechanical contrivances for 
their operation. Everything considered, 
the simple trap-nest which requires au at¬ 
tendant to release the hens has proven to 
be the most practical. c. s. greene.
