Amongst the Poultry

NOTES BY

“GAMECOCK.”

The next meetings of the feathered clubs will take place as follows ; Christchurch Canary Club—January 3 Christchurch Poultry, Figeon and Canary Club —January 7. New Zealand Duck Club— January 8. United Pigeon Fancier*’ Club—January 9. „ New Zealand Utility Poultry Club — January 15. New Zealand Bantam Club —January S 3 Mr G. C-orser sent to Mr Murdock, of Ynveroargill. on Wednesday Inst, a good-looking Silver Wyandotte .cockerel ored from his imported pen. He has •ereral other orders to fill early in the New Year. Among the visitors to Christchurch for the annual mooting of the <South Island Poultry Association were Messrs W. Brown (Dunedin). G. Bundy (Ashburton), C. A\ . Bell and T. Kennedy (Bangiora). Sun-heated witer is very bad for fowls, more especially chickens, as it creates- many disorders. A liberal supply of green food sh.oul 1 W given to chickens and adults, wherj they are not on free range. Milk is a splendid food to promote j feather growth, and will give that nice lustre seen on many of the best birds after they have reached the adult stage. Milk should he used more liberally than It is. especially where, rows are kept. There is no better “pick-me-up” tor a bird which is off cpJour than bread and milk. There is much harm done by overfeeding. Fowls are always in better health, and consequently give better results, when always ready for food. ™ hen visiting some of my friends' pens, J noticed that tjie birds were quite indifferent over food, and were altogether too fat. There should be an ahundance of scratching litter, so that when they want food they must work for it. Exercise is as necessary to poultry as to all other life. ave the houses as open as possible during the hot weather. I nless one has 6parrowproof wire netting, much food will he lost. Besides. there is no doubt that sparrows »re disease carriers. All poultry houses should be cleaned Mten, but more especially in hot wearner and in the moulting season. The dust bath is the hen’s natural "■ay of freeing herself from insects. It not usual to have the dust bath Samp: nevertheless, if slightly moist she birds enjoy it better. Pigeons and cage birds prefer water lo dust to clean themselves. Where ;bey will not take to water (which ia rare), a fine spray may be used, and grass on the floor may induce some »o roll m it. i A safe spray for houses and cages is Kerosene emulsion with a little carbolic ►oid. m it. For infected birds a austmg with some insect powder is ?ood. The part* to dust well are beween shoulders under the wings ►nd around the vent. I have seen Ceroaene used instead of powder, but jt busters the skin. Pure oil will kill Jie insects and not hurt the skin. .From the time the birds start moultJng the new feathers must be protertw from injury. Special care should be with likely show birds. The lighter colours should be kept out of the hot sun and away from wet or mud. An iron tunic will add sheen to the gathers, and a little sugar or molasses pull carry the iron more quickly through the system. Tt is while the birds are in the moult that colour feeding is effective. There are classes for colour-fed canaries, but none for pigeons or fowls; still, colour feeding is practised. The next ten days will see a big slaughter in the poultry vard. Most housewives know how to kill and dress poultry. Tf they do not. they should get an expert to do it. The small cost is worth the bother saved. Where a ohicken or a beefsteak pie is on the menu, a squab will give a flavour t-ih*. *will please. For my own part. T prefer squabs roasted. There is nothing better in the way of food for delicate ■people than squabs. The cottager wants to go to the seaaide or elsewhere for a day, perhaps a week. The neighbour may bo kindly, but one is happier where one does his own job. This is whore a good dry xnash and feeding hopper and water fountains come in. They allow one to go holiday-making without being under an obligation to a friend. To make kerosene emulsion for spraying houses, boil one gallon of water, add slb soft-eoap. Remove from the fire when well boiled, and add alowly one gallon of kerosene, stirring hard all the time. When this is done, add ten gallons of soft water. Whilj the house is damp, sulphur or dry slaked lime may be blown on with good results. W hen I had a bigger establishment than now, I simply turned the hose on the houses once a week, and vermin ceased to trouble.

A SUGGESTION TO THE HOUSEWIFE.

During the next week or two poultry will be largely consumed, and 1 offer here a suggestion for tho cooking of fowls, particularly for birds sns|>ected of having passed their chickenhood. Instead of the usual baking in the oven, if the fowl i 3 cooked in a pot of boiling fat. it will be found that there ■will be no drying of the tissues, or of the juices of the meat, and that this method will add to. instead of taking from, the flavour of the meat, in addition to keeping it moist. The fowl may be placed on a dish in the oven enable it to drain prior to carving, but it should not bo left in the oven beyond a few moments- I can recommend this meth<>d of cooking poultry jn preference to tho method usually adopted. • THE DUST BATH With the long ppell of warm weather a careful wa»teh should bo kept, to prevent the birds becoming infested with vermin, for when once established vermin hard to dislodge, and quickly damages a bird’s well-being. Therefore tne means of having a dust bath regularly should be supplied to all birds, whether chickens or adults. This may easily be provided by putting into each pen a few shovelfuls of fresh earth from tho garden, which should lie moistened, for tl\e birds prefer it damped and with the means thus afforded they will immediately indulge in their bath. Should a bird be too lazy to cleanse itself by this natural method, or lie deprived of doing so through too small a confinement, its vitality will be lowered. In such a ease the fowl should be carefully dusted with an insect powder, holding the bird in f.wh a position as to enable the powder to readily penetrate .through the feathers to the skin. A

T-rry stood modern rermm powd«r, whic.i is also effective for the treatment of mites as well as poultry lice, mar bo made by mixing sodium flouride and sulphur together, the proportions being 0,10 P*’ irt of the former to four parts of the latber. This will be. found to rid the birds of any external pests, and whether fowls are kept for egg production, table meal, or merely as a hobby, cleanliness is essential.

N.Z. UTILITY CLUB.

THE 1024 TOM PETITIONS SCHEDULE. Tlje schedule for the 1924 egg laying competitions is now ready and can he obtained from the secretary of the New Zealand Utility Poultry Club. The schedule committee, in preparing their work for the competition, bore in mind the fact that, in several breeds of fowls it was useless to enter birds on account of the high standard number of eggs required before a prise or certificate is obtained, and in the interests of poultry breeders a class has been introduced for any variety of fowl other than "White and Brown Leghorns. Silver Wyandottcs. Minorcan and Black Orpingtons. This class will enable breeders to compete under a modified standard of 200 two-ounce eges. and should encourage breeders of White Wyandottes. Rhode Island Reds. Black liFfthoms, Anoonas, Game, all varieties, Langshnns. etc., to compete. Owing to pressure on space this week's instalment of “Breed Briefs” is held over till next week.

A MAORILANDER ABROAD.

MR J. B. MERRETT ON TOUR. Mr J. B. Marrett, the well-known poultry expert, recently left New Zealand to visit Britain and the Continent. Tie arranged to write a series of articles for “The Star’’; and the following Is the first contribution received from him.

H herf I stepped aboard the Corinthie, said “goodbye” to my friends at Wellington, and later watched the outline of the New Zealand coast disappear, I knew I was seeing the fulfilment of a vow registered in my boyhood days to aee the environment that my parents had left in Hampshire—- “ Murcheson Hall,” tho home of Sir Charles Napier; the old, lodge where the general often rested, and narrated many of his experiences in the Peninsula AA ar; Homdean and its turnpike road and chalk cliffs; Complain with the “Spotted Cow”; Catterington churchyard, where Sir Charles was buried, and where my father assisted to plant poplar trees that jtill flourish around the mausoleum ; the church at whose chancel he stood and pledged his love to his bride; the common, with its secret spring, Aldershot and Portsmouth, as places of wonderment. Is it any wonder that my colonial blood thrilled at the prospect of seeing in reality much that was described to me in my youth? And now the long sea voyage is near its end. The six weeks of undiluted enjoyment, a calm sea, the best of food and companionship, a library that brings all the great- minds of the’world within one’s reach, have made, the trip a delightful experience. Life on an ocean liner has been bo frequently described that one’s consideration, for his readers is manifested by only a brief reference. In our commander we had a most genial companion. He has a knowledge of all ports, peoples and languages, commercial methods, shipwrecks, experiences of all kinds, and a discerning and studious mind. To him we appealed on every question, and his opinion demonstrated that during his many years of navigation he had kept his mind alert and familiarised himself with the world’s knowledge. Six weeks at sea! The time passed all too soon. With our games, music, discussions, reading, etc., the thousands of miles that lay between home and the Homeland were soon ticked off the map. Incidentally I I did not secure immunity from our well-known topic of poultry. The commander is an enthusiast, and is the keeper of some choice breeds. A passenger returning tc England lias his farm in Devon in which lie keeps poultry. while a New Zealander attracted hack to England in company with his English bride intends to settle near London, and is making poultry 'fculture his aim. i Cape Horn, discovered in 1616 by Dutch navigators, was named after a j town in Holland called Hoorn. The I temperature, fell very low in latitude 56 as we passed this most southern part of South America. The Horn has little to charm the traveller# being merely a huge rock similar shaped to the Cave Rock at Sumner. The Chilian Coast presented a fine view of mountains, snow covered and serrated. The rough seas usually ascribed to this trip were spared to us. AYc passed the Falklands, anrl in a few days caught sight of the mount whence Monto A'ideo (1 see a mount) gets its name. AA’e were I greatly surprised to find the capital of 1 mgua.v in such a flourishing condition. Spani-h is spoken, and as inter- ! prefer for tho party J got plenty of ■ practice in the newly-acquired tqngue. The population is 340,000. The streets | nrc Ter y narrow, but electric trains | run out to the suburbs, a distance of j ten miles. The wonderful statue of j President Artigas. costing a quarter of ! « million pounds, is a fine work of art. j Tt stands in the Square and is the admiration of all visitors. The hotels ! are up-to-date, while the .shops are | ©qual to the best in New Zealand. The I harbour has no tide. The houses are mostly flat-roofed. j Teneriffe Mountain (the Canaries' ■ was seen when twenty miles distant, j and as we passed along tho eastern side of the island scores of villages could I he seen on the mountain side. The j peak rises 12.190 ft. and is a. most im- ! posing spectacle. As we reached Teneriffe the harbour was soon alive with hundreds of boats, each laden with wares to attract the passengers. As the country was more to us than tho town, we motored sixty miles and went to the opposite side of the island. As we rose a distance of 2600 ft to Laguna the port and its shipping below us made an excellent view. For twentv miles we passed over rich volcanic soil j that hears three crops a year. Mules donkeys and oxen were bong used to carry on the work, while oxen and wooden ploughs were being used just as they were thousands of years ago. The vineyards and banana plantations extend light to Orotava. where, in the season. the flowers arc so bountiful (hat the citizens decorate the streets and make a most attractive show. Tn the gardens we noted three specimens

of New Zealand plants, including tho phormium tenax. Evidently the city soil had prevented its growth, as the blades were very thin and of poor quality. Tomatoes. wine, bananas oranges and fig* form the bulk of the exports. A strange system of irrigation is adopted. Rain falls in two or three months of the year. At the time we were there no rain had been seen for nine months. Huge reservoirs are formed, and are used to store the wat©-* for irrigation. A Catholic church. 700 ) old. is to be seen at r l>aguna. while in the Cathedral at Teneriffe are to he seen the British flags captured from Nelson. The forts that did such destructive work during the attack are to be seen in a state of fair preservation. The Spanish population is in excess of all others. English is spoken by a large number, while English money is largely sought after. As we near the shores of England, we have all the finals of the ship’s games, tho fancy dress ball and farewell concert*. Miss Julien. of Arlington. treated us to some excellent dances. She is on her way to England to prosecute her studies, and gives promise of doing good work. Miss Forrl, a young vocalist for whom New Zealand admirers rawed £BOO. was also among the passengers. She is from -Alasterton. and is going to England to pursue her studies. This talented young lady is scarcely out of her teens, she has a rich contralto,voice that is capable of development. At one ofths church services she fang Liddle's “Abide with Me.” and it was a very fine effort. Her rich voire charmed those present. This young lady holds a. distinctive position as a singer, and the many friends in New Zealand who contributed to the fund for her tuition vill not regret the assistance given. On the Corinthic she showered her great gift with unstinting liberality, ami her progress will be keenly watched. Nearing tho coast of England hundreds of ships pass, bound for all parts of the world. British warships that guard the seas are frequently seen. The Bay of Biscay, renowned "for N rough seas, was calm as a mill pond a* we passed through. Cape Finisterre. once proclaimed as the end of the world, was seen under a glorious sunrise. Many wonder how passengers put their time in on board ship. The following will give them an idea:—7 a.m., morning tea and bath. In the tropics a huge canvas hath is erected on deck filled with sea water, followed with a fresh water sluice. 8 a.m.. dressed and strolled on deck. 8.30 a.nv.. bugle sounds for breakfast. 9, smoke and read. 10, games, deck tennis, quoits, golf, cricket, ballboard, etc. 11. morning tea or bovril, ices, fruit salads, .continue games. 12, inspect ship’s run, declare the sweepstake. wireless news, cocktails, and bathe in pool. 1, lunch, coffee, smoke. 2. read, take siesta. 3. resume games. 4. afternoon tea, resume tournaments. 5.30, cocktail. smoke, tell yams. 6.30, <lr©6s. 7. dinner. 8. coffee. 8.15. bridge, dance, read. 11, turn in. 11.5, dreams of homeland. As England comes in Right, the weather is warm. A tesjt of the eggs on board shows that they have kept excellently. Everyone declares that they are as good os new-laids. The merit able pack begins, cards are exchanged, good-byes are made, and we are ready for the inspection of passports, health, Customs, and then for Southampton en route for London.

EGG-LAYING COMPETITIONS

* TAPANUI. The competition returns for the thirtysixth week show a fair average egg yield. Broodiness. probably caused by hot weather conditions, will no doubt account for some of the birds being out of profit. The next few weeks will see a change in position?. and tboso birds with the strongest constitution will survive the test. The recent rain will be beneficial to the green feed which was getting dry. A good sewing of 'seeds took place recently bet wee.i the pens, and the feed should be ready for the winter feeding. Among the seed sown were rape, kale and silver beet. The following are the scores of the leading birds in each of the various tests:— LIGHT BREED. SINGLE HEN CHAM-"" PIONSHIP.

HEAVY BREED SINGLE HEN CHAMPIONSHIP.

LIGHT BREED SINGLES. (Competitors to enter three pure-bred pullets.)
