Production Of Broilers of Quality

The profit derived from the marketing of poul '_v at the 2!: to 3% pound broiler stage depends. mainly, on the length of time re- quired for the birds to reach the desired weight and consequently on the amount of feed which they consume in so downs. SKY-i A- $- Johnson. Poultry Division. Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Utlicr thtigs being equal. a rapidly growing bird reaching the rcquircd weight in twelve works will be a better proposition than one taking thirteen weeks or more. The amount of Iced consumed per day by the former will be more, but its efficiency will be greater and total feed costs will be relatively less. Hations have been devised which are high ln proteins and vitamins and result in very fcst. growth. One of these is toe Connecticut broiler ration which has produced birds averaging 3.8 pounds for both sexes, and as high as 4.2 pounds for cockerels at twelve weeks.

The broiler industry which has been‘ increasing rapidly of late, ‘will have to rely on the consumer appeal which it is able to establish for its permanency. In the past, the market for broilers has been developed to a much greater ex- tent in the United States than it has in Canada. If the situation is to change materially in this coun- try the broilers produced for such I. market will have to be of except- ional quality.

Having considered the matter of fast "grovrth rate. the next quest- ionis, ‘what are the characteristics o1 a good broiler? Probably the first requirement is good flashing. This is somewhat dltfcult to at- tain in a young bird and is one one reason why White Leghorns are not as popular sis other breeds for use as broilers. Probably some of our croatbretl stock shows most promisein this respect and especial- ly where some Cornish blood lS introduced. Work at Ottawa has shown that, crosses involtrittg some Cornish blood have materially im- proved a breed. such as White Leg- horn, for broiler production.

In order to have eye-appeal, a bird must also carry a reason-l able amoimt of fat. In a young fast-growing bird this is some- times difficult. to attain. but ex- perience shows that it is possible with the right kind oi‘ ration. It is not. possible to fatten a broiler to the same oxtcitt as a roaster but a moderate, cvcii distribution of fat under the skin produces an attractive bird. and also results in more cents pcr pound lll the pocket of the producer. It must bc rc- mcmbcrcd that broilers are sub- ject to the same grading regulat- ions as other classes ol‘ potiltry.

iSuccessful Variety QConcerl \ At O'Leury

—-— O‘Lcary Community Hall was| packed to its very doors on Tues- fday night, March 29th.. with a ‘number of peop standing, when a greatly enjoytu variety concert wivas presented in aid of the 0'- ‘Leary Pu-blic Library. The chair- mnian was Mr. Peter Pate who made lan ideal presiding officer ﬂlld his lclmracteristic humor was very Imuch to the fore. He thanked the llarge audience on behalf of tho lLibrary Committee for their rit- JBIILBJIOQ. Mr. Pate remarked that [tho OLeary Public Library scrved ‘thirty-two school sections. For |ln8ll'_\' years the capable librarian lvras Mrs. Claude Jelly ivhom Mr.. ‘Pale slated was one of the finest ‘librarians in the province. Site has been succeeded by Mrs. John ‘Moreshesd. a very twmthy and ‘conscientious successor. i The first item on the program [was a very humorous play, "Mist- ress Murphy‘s Chowder" put on by ‘eight Obeary residents. It was a ,on¢ act play and all the characb. ‘eirs acted his or her part to per- fection and iivene the recipients of many laughs from the audience.

Afteg: the program was over, the chairman, Mr. Peter Pate asked the audience if thcy considered that the play was worth repeating in some oi the neighboring com- munities and they shoived by their thunderous applause that tlicy did indeed consider it worth repeat- ing. After the applause had siib- sidcd, Mr. Pale said: "At this rate the cast will be leaving for Hollywood ucxt iveeli". Then Mr. Pate auctioned olf a number n! va-kes, Over $95 was taken iu lit the door and with the money froin the cakes which were auctioned, over $100. was taken in. which will be

used for Library purposes. It was a splendid Welling of first class entertainment.

The Olmary Boy Scouts in their attractive uniforms capo/lily acted as ushers. Music was supplied M’ the O'I..eary Orchestra consisting of Miss Noreen McDonald, Albert Noonan, Lloyd Sllilker, Arnold Home, Jack hing and the three Getson boys, Howlett, Chester and Ralph. Their fine musical num- bers were much appreciated.
