OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
PROGRESS IN POULTRY
It is probable that greater prog
ress has been attained in increased
productivity among poultry during
the past decade tnan was accom
plished In the previous half century.
Tin* increased production has been
the result of three very definite fac
tors. First, increased knowledge of
the principles of Seeding has nude it
possible for the average poultryman
to feed his flock intelligently. Great
strides have been made in com
pounding high-quality feeds, espe
cially laying mashes, and these are
within the reach of every poultry
handler. A second factor is the
work done in selection and breeding.
Knowledge acquired at the begin
ning of the past decade, detfeioped
the relation between external char
acteristics and productivity, thus en
abling poultry keepers to weed out
unprofitable birds. Coupled with
this has grown the tendency care
fully to select and mate the breeding
stock, for production as well as
bleed characteristics, all of which
has meant increasingly better birds
in succeeding generations. Lastly, j
there is the important tact taught j
by our egg-laying contests—that
hens differ greatly In their individ
ual ability to lay eggs. Systematic
trapnesting at our more than 23
egg-laying contests has shown the
industry that individual records of
300 eggs are not uncommon. The
number of 300-egg hens increases
year by year and the average pro
duction of contest flocks also is
creeping up. Applying to culling
and breeding the fact that individ
ual hens differ in productive abil
ity has made tha 300-egg nen pos
sible. To what limits egg produc
tion will ultimately attain it is hard
to say, but by following the princi
ples set forth, every poultry keeper
can gradually advance the average
lay of his flock. This will be the re
sult of a higher production from
certain individual birds, and also
through a higher average produc
tion attained by the elimination or
low producers and the substitution
or heavier layers. No poultryman
should be satisfied with a flock av
erage of less than 150 eggs per bird
pei^year. and it should run nearer
INSULATED LAYING HOUSES
In speaking cf comfortable laying
houses we are too prone to think of
comfort in winter; we sometimes
forget about making the laying
houses comfortable in summer.
There 13 little trouble with damp
houses in summer, except in a pro
longed rainy spell, but there is fre
quently trouble with houses that
are too hot. It helps considerably to
I open up the house as much as pos
I sible, particularly by means of win
dows under the droppings boards so
breezes will blow on the floor. But
maldn? use of insulation as we do
with refrigerators also would help
to make a cooler house In summer
as well as a warmer one In win
ter. Insulating the house with build
ing board or fiber board along the
ceiling and the sides will serve to
protect the Interior from the heat of
the sun and will result In several de
grees lower temperature Inside than
out. When the temperature ouside
drops In the evening, the tempera
ture within the house will not fall
so rapidly. One poult,ryraan takes
care of this fact In his long laying
house by having several large fans
and openings in the rear wall. He
turns on the fans for 10 minutes af
ter the sun goes down and suck all
the warm air out of the house. The
fans also remove the dust. Fans are
not necessary, however, when the
house is insulated as long as some
means of ventilation is provided.
Openings In the roof that can be
kept closed during the day and
opened in the evening will help, or a
carefully worked out ventilating sys
tem can be Installed.

FEEDING BEEF CALVES
With the Increased growing de
mand for baby beef on the market,
the owners of a beef herd can well
afford to give some consideration to
feeding the calves grain during the
summer while on pasture with the
dams. Experienced producers state
that one of the points to be kept in
mind In baby-beef production is
never to let the calf lose Its baby
fat. Most beef calves will begin to
eat grain when they are from three
to four weeks old. Calves should be
encouraged to eat some grain as
soon bus they show an inclination
to do so. There are a number of
combinations that can be fed, but a
simple ration Is preferred. A com
bination of four parts of ground
corn, two parts of crushed oats and
one part of linseed-oil meal, or six
parts of shelled corn and one part
of linseed-oil meal or cottonseed
meal will prove satisfactory, if the
calves are kept with the cows 011
pasture, a creep should be built In
which the feed can be put daily.
The creep should be conveniently lo
cated. preferably where there Is
some shade ana near the watering
place for cows. The feeding of grain
m a creep to the calves during the
summer will add to the expense of
developing the calves, but they will
pay well for the feed In Increased
gains, and such calves will have the
additional advantage of being ready
for market at an earlier age than
the calves that receive no grain dur
ing the summer.
THE HAND DUSTER
Horticultural enthusiasm runs
high about the time seeds are be
ing planted in the garden and foli
age on vine, bush and tree is de
veloping. Then come the plant lice j
and other seasonal pests of early
summer, and with them problems
of control. Plant lice and mildew
on roses, bug* and blight on pota
toes, Insects and diseases on apples,
small fruit and grapes, all contribute
to the problems of the home garden
and orchard in town or country.
Spraying Is still considered the best
treatment in some instances. How
ever, there are several objections to j
spraying around the home and gar- i
den. In the first place, the opinion
that spraying is an unpleasant and i
WATCH LAMB PASTURE
Stomach worms are one .of the :
banes of a sheep grower’s life. The i
cheapest and altogether the most
satisfactory way to fight stomach
worms and other sheep parasites is ;
to adopt preventive measures and so i
avoid having them. Sheep parasites ‘
make their way in the world large- j
ly b? living over in the ground or i
undei such cover as the pasture af
fords them, making their contacts !
the following year. Thev lurk In
damp buildings and yards and in
wet, swampy land. Lambs with
stomach worms, and with most other ,
parasites, appear listless, lack* the
brightness of eye of the healthy
lamb and show a dullness of lleeca !
laborious task is quite general, and
in a way justified. In recent years
hand dusters and dusts have been so
Improved that dusting can in a great
measure be substituted for spraying
around the home. Even fruit grow
ers witli large power sprayers and
dusters find a good hand duster very
useful. We have found hand dustera
especially useful in dusting roses,
sweet peas, grapes, currants, berries,
potatoes, vegetables end fruit trees
less than 15 feet in height. The
work can be done in leas than a
quarter the time required for spray
ing. Early morning or evening is the
most satisfactory time lor dusting
Dusting may not be quite so ef
fective as spraying in the control of
certain diseases and insects; in fact
it Is not recommended in seal; con
trol. With few exceptions the result?
are very sat.isfactorv if the dusting
is done often enough and the work
is thorough. Because of the sim
plicity of application dusting i?
much more apt to be done on time
than spraying.
POULTRY HEALTH PROCRAM

TOWS NEED VACATION
A successful dalrvman reports a
loss of $1,500 on the annual sale
of milk due to a lallure on the
part of cows in his laird to freshen
at regular intervals. Several rea
sons might account for this diffi
culty. The health of the herd
would naturally be the first con
sideration, but attention is called
to the cows’ being in good health
and to the heavy production of milk
which they are making. Again, one
might consider the rations, but ic
view of the fact that ample rations
supplemented with minerals, arc
provided, the difficulty does not
seem to lie in this part of the man
agement. It is furthermore stated
that sires are In use which have
proved potent, and with a general
system of approved management th*
difficulty Is not easily understood
It is generally regarded necessary
to give cows at least six to eight
weeks' rest at the end cf each lac
tation period and prior to the time
of freshening. In observing this
rule one may well take into consid
eration how regularly cows have
been bred to freshen at intervals
of approximately 12 months. Cows
which freshen at such intervals get
the benefit cf rest periods that are
not too far apart, while prolonged
lactation periods and less frequent
rest periods may result in serious
breakdowns. With some cows it ap
pears that the reproduction of off
spring and of freshening is almost
habitual, and breeding and having
cows develop this habit is worth
while and will insure rest periods at
proper intervals. In herds which
are free from disease and in which
careful attention Is given to an
ample supply of feed and to good
management, It may be observed
that cows which produce and
freshen with regularity are the
cows which make the most profit
able lifetime productions of milk
and butterlat.
EWE FLOCK PROFITABLE
Commercial sheep breeders have
been able to increase th°lr inven
tories in substantial manner by the
high lamb market of the past win
ter and spring. That market has
stimulated demand for ewes, espe
cially the yearling type, all over the
country. At farm sales $20 to $22
dollars a head has been paid and
10 could have b >?n absorbed where
one was available. Last winter's
prices would speedily create an ex
cess supply of lambs if the breeding
stock needed to expand the indus
try was ava’lable and consumption
could not be increased to absorb
production, but there is a marked
shortage of young ewes all over the
Western sheep raising area, and
without constant replenishment
from that source farm flocks can
not be successfully maintained. Ad
vancing cost of b’ef is resoonsible
for popularizing lamb, probability
being that any possible expansion
will be readily absorbed at slightly
lower prices, as whenever wholesale
carcass cost of lamb exceeds 33
cents a pound th? product meets
sales resistance. Cattle and sheep
conditions are somewhat analagous,
slaughter of yearling heifers and
ewe lambs in recent years having ef
fectively repressed rehabilitation of
both branches of the livestock in
dustry. A flock of healthy ewes
promises to be a profifab!e invest
ment for a lengthy period.

A change of pasture, which forces
their enemy to die from a lack of
opportunity to graft his living from
some Innocent lamb, will solve the
problem. Two years of ’St without
sheep grazing will usually clear a
piece of land from sheep parasites,
and a single free year on land rea
sonably well drained will usually
make a pasture fairly safe.
FEEDING BROOD SOWS

ter of pigs loses fat rapidly and
should be fed plentifully on nutri
tious milk-giving feeds. This feed
is not washed because it all goes
