Does It Pay to Take a Chance?

On thii week's Farm Page one ot our advmnrr* a*k< :hr question : “How about mixing jour own chick startet ?” The argument*

Any mi«*tep at tha' • rime in management by the poultryman is likely to be reflected |

throughout the life of the chicks affected.

Trying to sase a few cents or a dollar on a hundred p>,.::*}* <>i iced is prohabls just as foolish a trying to save a few cm:* on thpurchase price of the chick*. What is saved in cents may be l»:

If a poultnmaii desires to home-mix his chick starter, and if h< * can buy materials of high quality with which to mix it—it he is in a position to have all of the materials needed right at hand when lie needs them for subsequent mixings, and if he can be assured that these materials will be of the same high quality and grade—if be is equipped to make a thorough job of mixing—if he knows the proper formula for mixing—and it he feels that with the extra amount of detailed labor involved he can save money by home muing his duck

starter, then po'tibly he h justified in hot*

But the truth of the nutter i* that most pouitrytnen are not feed experts, they base no accurate means of determining the qua'ity of feeds, and even if the* are good judges of quality, they hate no assurance of obtaining all of the materials they nerd, of the quality they want, right at the time they want them.

Why Hatch Chick. Early? Hatch early is the firsi nrommendatian in the Wage War on , Worms and Disease" campaign a* being conducted by the Cumberland County Extension Service with Cumberland County pottltrymen £ The inexperienced poultrymen and some others who have brer ; successful with late hatches immediately ask the question—why: i This is one ot the most important recommendations among the sever induded in the campaign and is one that must hr followed it the •- average poultryman is to rear a healthy dock of pullets. The early chick is one that can he brought through the critical stage befon disease germs and parasites become particularly active. These chickare also brought through the period of their life when they are * weakest before hot weather comes and lowers thdr vitality. Many ot the more experienced Vineland poultrymen find that the early chirkdevelop into chicks that are more pi itabie. They start laying at the time of year when eggs are high and when the old birds arc * dropping ofi production. If they do not go into a lij^it moult ot are affected with pox they come into production again about as soor as May hatched chicks would normally come info production and have the advantage on the late pullets in that they are producing, a full size egg. In the healthy pullet campaign, which was conducted in Cumber laud County last year, there was an increase in the number of pod f 4 trymen rearing chid* before April 1 with a corresponding increase ir the percentage of pullets rahed. The increase in the number of - chicks put out before April 1. in 1927 ever 1926 was 1 .6 per cent These same poultrymen reported an tverage increase oi . mr pci cent, in the number of pullet* ral-ed out of the number put under the hover in 1927 over 1926. These figures in themselves prove that V it is easier to raise the earlier hatched chicks than the la'e hatchones. The far-sighted poultry man will, nuke plant now to get the majority of his chicks out before the insects and diseases come along and hot weather is with us. Spring Sowing of Sweet Clover | It w-ould seem that spring is the natural time fir sweet clover to start its growth. One of the best methods of spring sowing iwith oats. If the oats arc to be harvested for grain the rate ot sowing of the oats should be from one to one and a half bushelper acre, tsing the oats for hay or pasture sceths to be more favorable to the sweet closer than where the oat* arc harvested tot grain, for hay or pasture."oats may be sown a little thicker than . indicated above. Jf Sowing sweet clover with oats for pasture has been found to br f quite ucceatful. Pasturing start* when the oats are about ten inches high. 1 he animals should not br on. of course, when the land iwet. It care is used a* to thi* point there should be no damage t< the sweet clover. After the o. •* arc pastured ofi the animals should be taken on until the sweet clover gets a good str '—eight to ter inches high. After that it may he pastured lightly tor the rest o: the season. The following season sweet clover should be pastured S heavily, K Remember that sweet .clover w ants a swert i moculation it alralfa or sweet clover have nexrr | field.
