Park's Practical Profitable Poultry Pointers---1919
COMMENTS
GOSSIP AND FOOD FOR THOUGHT
THE FIRST OFF THE ROOST and the last ones on at night represent 75 per cent of the b est layers.
THE TRUE LAYING CAPACITY of the flock lies in its ability to reproduce birds that will perform as well or better than the parent stock.
THE TRAPNEST after all is the only true and reliable way of distinguishing the layers in spite of the many different systems advertised.
YES,AFTER ALL THESE YEARS of egg breeding we still use male birds in some of our best pens from dams with records as low as 206 eggs.
THE CHINESE are credited with being able to tell the sex of the chicks as soon as hatched, by feeling under the vent.
YES, INCREASED EGG production is our trade, and the name '' Joe '' our trade mark, for it is a fact that the Park's Strain of Rocks is mow being fed by the third generation of Joes.
SO MANY BREEDERS went out of business suddenly on the approach of the high feed prices that the strictly fresh egg supply has been affected to the extent that it will take several years to get back to near normal.
TIMELY ADVICE IN MARCH 1896, issue of the Reliable Poultry Journal, stating that beginners should learn that success in the poultry business on a large scale requires preliminary training.
BREEDING FOR INCREASED EGG YIELD is equally as difficult as producing exhibition fowls writes L.E. Kayser, a well known breeder and writer of his day, in the April 1899, Reliable Poultry Journal.
UNFORTUNATELY some of the most vaaluable breeds are ruined for productiveness by methods some use in the breeding for fancy, writes Edward L. Brown in the Reliable Poultry Journal of August ,1907.
DIM YOUR HEADLIGHTS, says D. Lincoln Orr.The brilliancy of the headlight advertising by some poultrymen is so blinding that I think the American Poultry Association should do something to curb some.
PROF. QUISENBERRY, formerly of the Missouri Experiment Station, whom we consider a regular encycloedia on poultry information, says 90 percent of the good layers are underweight.
THE POULTRY INDUSTRY of today is a ''billion dollar industry''.It is said enough money changes hands in the industry each year to replace all railroads.
TEN EGGS PER WEEK per hen is possible , says Dr, Waldorf of Buffalo , N.Y., with the use of electric lights for lenghthening the day's working hours on biddy.
THE OVERSIZE CRAZE struck the country about fifteen years ago. We urged against it, and sure enough there were a lot of good strains ruined before breeders learned that they lost utility qualitities entirely when they got Rocks the size of Brahmas.
DO NOT FORGET it is your patriotic duty to save. Do not waste any grain; cull out your flock and mate the balance up for increased egg yield. Feed all your vegetable waste. Get as much as possible out of every pound you grow or buy.
IT IS THE BIG BUBBLES that burst; that is why we have stuck to the high normal layers and succeeded with blood lines noted for transmission of heavy laying qualities, while our competitors with their phenomenal layers and phenomenal claims keep coming and going.
THE BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS have been America's most popular general purpose fowls for the past 25 years and better, as shown by their standing at that time(in an article in the April, 1896, Reliable Poultry Journal).
