THE  HENYARD 
Contract  for  Hatching  Eggs 
A  neighbor  asked  if  he  furnished  the 
male  birds,  what  would  be  my  price  for 
hatching  eggs.  The  males,  being  his, 
would,  of  course,  be  returned  to  him  at 
the  end  of  season.  What  would  be  a  fair 
amount  to  allow  for  their  food  expense? 
My  eggs  run  considerably  over  weight, 
therefore  I  receive  fewer  eggs,  costing 
more  to  produce  them.  If  I  pick  out  the 
hatching  eggs,  sending  the  rest  to  open 
market,  I  would  lose  in  market  quotations 
on  account  of  the  lack  of  uniform  size, 
and  if  I  sell  them  as  laid,  letting  him 
assort  them,  what  would  be  a  fair  price 
for  fertile  eggs?  Regular  assorted  eggs 
for  hatching  usually  bring  from  6c  to  10c 
each.  I  would  expect  him  to  call  for 
eggs.  I  have  340  1922  pullets,  250  1921 
and  210  1920,  all  April  hatched.  They 
have  not  laid  much  this  Winter,  therefore 
all  eggs  could  be  used.  I  have  not  fed 
any  wet  mash.  I  use  Cornell  rations  and 
mangels,  fed  dry  in  hopper. 
New  York.  mbs.  c.  h.  p. 
I  would  consider  male  birds  that  are 
worth  $3  each  now  would  be  worth  ap¬ 
proximately  $1  each  at  the  end  of  the 
breeding  season,  so  you  should  allow  the 
neighbor  $2  each  for  the  use  of  the  males 
and  also  pay  for  any  that  may  die  while 
in  your  possession.  He  should  buy  all 
your  hatching  eggs  right  out  at  a  price 
you  can  agree  upon.  If  he  agrees  to  take 
all  the  good  hatching  eggs  you  produce 
right  through  the  season,  and  come  and 
get  them  and  pay  cash,  you  can  afford  to 
sell  them  much  cheaper  man  when  you 
have  to  advertise  and  pay  all  retail  or 
mail-order  selling  expenses  yourself.  Per¬ 
sonally,  I  would  consider  a 'flat  rate  of  6c 
a  very  good  price,  hut.  ot  course,  this 
must  be  determined  by  mutual  consent.

Combination  Pigeon  and  Chicken  House 
I  would  like  to  build  a  pigeon  and 
chicken  house,  10x12 ;  pigeons  on  top, 
chickens  below,  having  room  for  a  flight 
10x20..  The  same  size  run  would  be  for 
the  chickens.  Would  I  get  good  results, 
and  would  it  be  sanitary  the  year  around 
to  have  an  open  wire  front,  or  have  them 
inclosed  with  windows?  How  many  birds 
would  a  house  of  this  kind  accommodate? 
Pennsylvania.  j.  m. 
You  could  have  a  pigeon  house  over 
your  chicken  house,  but  it  would  be  much 
better  to  build  both  together  on  the 
ground,  making  a  house  20  ft.  square, 
with  a  solid  partition  in  the  center.  If, 
however,  it  is  necessary  for  lack  of  room 
to  build  the  house  two-story,  I  believe 
you  would  find  it  very  unsatisfactory  to 
have  a  pigeon  flight  over  your  chicken 
yard.  If  you  can  plan  to  have  your 
pigeon  flight,  say  on  the  east  side  of  the 
house  and  the  chicken  yard  on  the  south 
side,  this  arrangement  would  work  fairly 
well,  but  even  then  it  would  not  be  as 
satisfactory  as  having  your  work  all  on 
the  ground  floor.  It  appears  to  me  that 
you  would  do  much  better  on  such  a 
limited  area  to  confine  your  efforts  to 
either  pigeons  or  chickens,  instead  of 
trying  to  mix  the  two.  The  front  of  the 
house  should  he  provided  with  windows, 
which  may  be  closed  in  Winter  and  open 
in  Summer,  or  any  time  when  necessary 
for  ventilation.  You  could  keep  around 
50  pairs  of  pigeons  in  such  a  house,  or 
20  laying  hens.  c.  s.  greene. 
Turkeys  with  Roup 
I  have  some  turkeys  which  have  been 
healthy  until  a  short  time  ago.  They 
have  a  bag-like  swelling  under  their  eyes, 
and  have  a  bad  odor.  What  is  the  cause 
of  this,  and  how  can  it  be  cured?  s.  J. 
Connecticut. 
These  turkeys  may  have  colds,  or  they 
may  have  roup.  In  the  former  case,  they 
should  recover  without  treatment,  but,  if 
the  symptoms  indicate  more  than  a  sim¬ 
ple  cold,  and  they  display  a  foul  discharge 
from  the  eyes  and  nostrils,  treatment 
may  he  needed.  The  difficulty  in  treating 
roup  is  in  giving  the  individual  care  that 
is  necessary.  The  eyes  and  nostrils 
should  be  cleansed  several  times  daily 
with  as  strong  antiseptic  solutions  as  can 
safely  be  used,  not  an  easy  matter  with 
birds  as  wild  as  turkeys  usually  are.  If 
you  can  readily  catch  the  sick  turkeys, 
wash  out  their  eyes  and  nostrils  at  least 
twice  daily  with  a  solution  of  one  ounce 
of  boric  acid  to  the  quart  of  soft  water. 
Use  a  pledget  of  absorbent  cotton  or  a 
small  syringe  to  do  this.  Then  get  of 
your  druggist  an  ounce  or  two  of  a  15  per 
cent  solution  of  argyrol  and.  after  cleans¬ 
ing,  put  a  drop  or  two  of  this  into  each 
eye  of  the  affected  bird.  If  a  hard  mass 
forms  in  the  sac  beneath  the  eye,  open  it 
with  a  clean,  sharp  blade,  and  evacuate 
the  contents.  Roup  is  very  contagious, 
and  the  sick  turkeys  should  be  kept  by 
themselves  in  clean,  dry,  and  comfortable 
quarters  while  undergoing  treatment. 
Partly  cured  birds  may  spread  the  con¬ 
tagion  to  hens  or  other  turkeys  and  keep 
it  on  the  premises  indefinitely.  M.  b.  d. 
“Johnny,”  said  the  teacher,  “if  coal  is 
selling  at  $14  a  ton  and  you  pay  the 
dealer  $65,  how  many  tons  will  he  bring 
you?”  “A  little  over  three  tons,  ma’am.” 
said  Johnny  promptly.  “Why,  Johnny, 
that’s  not  right,”  said  the  teacher.  “No, 
ma’am,  I  know  it  ain’t  right.”  said 
Johnny,  “but  they  all  do  it.” — Judge. 
"One  hundred  eggs  from  150  pullets  in  February  and  March.” 
writes  C  D.  McLean — a  Jamesway  user. 
"Pullets  laid  68% — never  a  frosted  window,  never  a  frozen 
comb,  never  a  disease  from  cold  in  a  flock  of  365  hens,”  writes 
C.  R.  Misner. 
.  “A  pleasure  to  see  my  250  White  Leghorns  busy  and  contented 
in  a  tight  warm  house,”  writes  another,  Mrs.  Paul  C.  Raborg 
from  blizzardy  Wyoming.

This  book  tells  how  to  eliminate  guess  work  and  put  poultry 
raising  on  a  surer,  bigger,  profit-paying  basis.  It  tells  how  to 
take  care  of  large  flocks  at  low  cost — how  to  keep  poultry  healthy 
— how  to  save  time,  labor,  feed.  Tells  how  to  save  on  material 
if  you  are  building  a  new  poultry  house  or  remodeling  your  old 
one.  Most  important  of  all.it  explains  how  big  egg  yields  are 
secured  in  cold  weather  when  egg  prices  are  highest. 
The  Jamesway  Farm  Engineers,  who  have  done  so  much  in  the

gies  to  the  interests  of  poultry  raisers  as  well.  Results  of  their

_  FUL-O-PEP  Growing  Mash 
YOUR  success— your  profit— depends  on  giving  your  young  chicks  the  RIGHT 
feed  during  the  first  5  or  6  weeks.  Ful-O-Pep  Chick  Starter  is  a  soft,  easily 
assimilated  feed  that  agrees  perfectly  with  their  delicate  digestive  organs.  It  is 
made  of  Oatmeal,  Ground  Puffed  Wheat,  Bone  Meal,  Fish  Scrap,  etc.  It  helps 
prevent  digestive  troubles— lessens  mortality  and  gives  them  a  fine  start.  After 
6  weeks  of  age  feed  Ful-O-Pep  Growing  Mash  and  your  birds  will  continue  to 
grow  fast  and  develop  earlier. 
Most  Successful  Poultry  Raisers  in  the 
Country  Have  Adopted  the  Ful-o-pep  Way 
The  success  of  the  Ful-O-Pep  Way  of  raising  poultry  is  due  to  the  fact  that 
Ful-O-Pep  Chick  Starter,  Ful-O-Pep  Growing  Mash  and  Ful-O-Pep 
Dry  Mash  are  MASH  feeds,  also  that  they  are  composed  of  the  right 
kind  of  food  nutrients  that  have  proven  best  for  their  particular 
purpose.  You  can’t  get  best  results  if  you  feed  whole  grains.
