| OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
TO RAISE EGG PRICES.
Pouitrymen have it within their
powei* to beat the slump in egg
prices by the simple expedient of
selection or culling. It is something
that should be done every year. The
poor layer is worth more dead than
alive. Poultry flocks were making a
profit last year even though a large
proportion of the hens were dead
heads—not laving enough eggs to
pay for their tccd. The poor layers
were living on the profits of the
good producers. The slump in egg
price* might not have been so se
vere except for the tolerance of the
poor layer by the poultryman. It is
safe to say that at the spring and
summer prices of eggs—8 to 10 cents
below last year—half the hens in
the United States have not been
paying a profit. If the eggs laid by
the poor layers were taken off the
market the poultryman would have
a far better chance of getting a sat
isfactory profit from his flock. The
poultryman who has been breeding
up a flock of heavy layers must sell
Ills eggs in competition with eggs
laid by his neighbor’s flock that
could not make a profit wilh eggs at
far above the market price. That is
penalizing the breeder. If the low
prices enforce the lesson of selec
tion or the value of good stock,
poultry raising will be placed on a
higher level. Why better prices if
they only encourage pouitrymen to
keep more deadhead hens to demor
alize the egg market? The poor lay
er is a thief, robbing both its owner
and its neighbor. In a flock of pull
ets probably 20 per cent of them
should be culled because they are
too long in starting to lay. ifGood
layers should all be laying at six
months if properly fed—some of
them earlier, depending on the kind
of feeding they have had. If pullets
do not begin to lay until eight
months while the others start at
six, > the late barters should be
culled. All undersized or stunted
pullets should of course, be culled.
Poor hens should be discarded.
Thanks to the colleges, experiment
stations and extension service, poui
trymen everywhere have had a
chance to become familiar with the
rules for culling. Now is the time
to put them into practice.
BOOST FALL PIGS NOW.
Early fall pigs are usually the
ones that pay best—if the owner Is
alive to the possibilities at hand. In
other words, early fall pigs, properly
handled, will have an excellent start
before the cold fall rains and the
short days with their meager sun
shine arrive. Tests made at various
experiment stations show that fall
pigs during the winter are in need
of the vitamin D provided by sun
shine. and if the pigs can be given
a good start while this free source
of the vitamin is at hand, the cost
of producing a pound of pork can be
materially reduced. For some time
yet we will have green feed out-of
doors as well as sunshine. Later the
substitute for this will be far more
costly. It is well known that young
inimals make the best use of their
feed. Consequently. It pays to pro
vide abundant feed of the right kind
while the pigs are young. A creep
where the pigs may be fed milk and
have access to a self-feeder is high
ly valuable at this time. In some in
stances both sows and pigs are fed
from the start on self-feeders. This
is excellent practice if the rows, too,
are to go to market. The important
thing with fall pigs is to give them
a good start now while the cheap,
easy methods are at hand. Dry beds
and a good ration go a Ion-; way to
ward making fall pigfc pay.
IMPROVING THE FLOCK
Early fall is the ideal time to
make preliminary selections for next
spring's breeding pens, because
birds that are laying now are apt
to be pretty good birds to breed
from, other things being equal.
Since production has been dropping
off since early summer, and since
the birds that maintain thedr pro
duction until late in the fall are
usually the best layers, it is h. sim
ple matter to dispose of the hens
as they stop laving and keep those
that hold up their production, pro
vided. of course, they have other
needed qualities—vigor, good body
shape, good color for the breed they
represent, and no disqualifications.
A more careful selection can be
made later, whpn the pens are act
ually mad' up. If no attempt is
made now, however, to select on the
basis of egg production, and the
whole flock is kept until later for
selection, a good opportunity is lost
to know just how late production
held up for each individual. Stsr<*
ilso can be taken now to improve
the male side of the breeding pen,
by ordering males of known high
jroducing ancestry, good quality as
:o body and feathers, and high vi
tality. Specialty breeders have a
number of such males to sell in the
fall. Too often ordering is left to
the last minute, just before the
oreeding season, and the best males
ire gone by that time. So Septem
oer offers opportunities to Improve
.he flock.
BEATING HOG FLU
The earlier in the fall the spring
jigs can be made heavy enough for
marketing, the more safety there is
from flu, the worst trouble that the
nog raiser has to contend with,
says the manager of a hog ranch
which raises some 500 hogs a year
ifter a well-laid-out plan. This in
'ludes farrowing in a clean central
nog house beginning as early as
February; removal at two weeks of
wge to a sheltered bluegrass lot;
»nd after saTe season, into alfalfa,
there to be continued on self-feed
ing of oats, shelled coin and min
eral. By September a carload of
these pigs Is ready for market kt
weights ranging from 200 to 225
pounds each, and before the flu
weather of winter sets in practically
ill have gone the same road to
market. This ranch uses a low
wagon for removing two sows and

Every two years a new field is

from hogs even in time o' low

MODERN RAT CONTROL
Rats are still mankind’s worst
mammal pest. On iarms there is no
more likely place to harbor them
than the poultry house. Here plenty
of food and water are always avail
able, and warm nesting quarters fur
nish an ideal place ror their1 rapid
multiplication. Rats rel*h baby
chicks, will attack adult birds, ana
eat eggs. They are doubtless an im
portant factor in the spread of
poultry diseases. The three R's of
rat control are Ratproofing, Right
baits and Red squill. The best pre
vention of rat infestation is a rat
proof poultry house. If houses are
constructed with solid concrete lloor*
with foundation walls extending
about two feet into the ground, or
if the houses are raised on posts one
foot or more above the ground, free
dom from rats is generally assured
All double walls or places of con
cealment should be eliminated. The
poison-bait method for the imme
diate control of rats is probably the
most efficient way. The best baits
are fresh ground fish, such as cod
or halibut; fresh ground hamburger
and a cereal mixture of rolled oats,
corn meal and Graham flour. There
is no one bait that ail rats will eat,
but if all three of these are set, the
rats will generally find one of their
to their liking. Red squill is the rec
ommended poison, since it kills rats
but is relatively harmless to poultry
dogs and cats. It is the safest rati
cide known to the department ol
agriculture. The highly toxic form
of powdered red squill is preferred;
one ounce of the squill should be
used to one pound of bait. Small
baits about the s*ze of a marble
should be distributed successively;
such as, first hamburger, then fish,
then cereal, every few feet over the
entire premises. Place the baits in
places frequented by rats, wher*
they feed and along their runways
In poultry houses baits may be
placed behind boards leaned length
wise against the wall to form a nat
ural runway, or behind boxes, sc
I that only the rats can reach them,
j It takes from fou- hours to four day*
; for red squill to kill rats, thus giving
them ample time to reach their un
derground burrows, where they
usually die. For the same reason
few dead rats are found in the open
NEW WAY TO TELL SEX
Although first-generation cross
breds have become very popular in
England, the idea has not taken hold
so rapidly in America. The methods
followed n England of utilizing sex
linked colors of chick down are not
so well adapted to the more common
breeds and varieties in this country.
Mirst, the cross between the Rhode
Island Red and Barred Plymouth
Rock produces a black hybrid fe
male against which there is a color
prejudice. The other crosses pro
ducing silver males and gold fe
males do not Include many common
I breeds from which the female par
ent may be taken. A new method
[ utilizing the growth of wing feathers
at hatching has been developed at
| a western agricultural experiment
i station. When a White Leghorn
male is mated to practically any
American or Asiatic breed female,
the daughters will have well devel
oped wing feathers at hatching
while the males will show practical
ly no growth beyond the down on
the wings. The new method has
these advantages: It places at the
disposal of the crossbreeder the pro
duction-bred White Leghorn, which
previously has not been available; It
produces a hybrid which is predomi
nantly white, and greatly increases
the list of breeds and varieties from
which females may be chosen for
crossbreeding.

SOMETHING NEW IN SPRAYS
Fruit growers of the Northwest are
showing considerable interest in the
new spray material that is being
used as a fungicide. This material
is calcium monosulphide. It was ex
perimented with and tried out for
four years and used last season by a
few growers. Calcium monosulphide
seems to be a good agent with
which to control scab, and scab in
some districts Ls a far greater prob
lem to the growers of apples and
pears than is the codling moth. This
material was also tried out on
peaches for brown rot with results
that were very satisfactory. While
casting somewhat more^at present
than the spray materials In general
use, it is much more pleasant to
handle. It mixes well with the lead
arsenate that must be used for the
codling moth. The greatest claim
for it is that it helps to prevent side
russeting and end blossom injury of
fruit. The spray recommended is
twelve and a half pounds to a hun
dred gallons of water for apples, and
six pounds to a hundred gallons for
brown rot on peaches. Experiments
were carried on with the chemical as
used in the drug trade, but commer
cial manufacture of calcium mono
sulphide has already been started.
fall-fertilized farm than from the
spring and summer fertilized plants.
The difference in yield of early fruit
is thought to be sufficient to war
rant fall applications of readily
available nierogen fertilizers. The
best results .were obtained from the
use of sulphate of ammonia, which
was broadcast between the rows and
worked into the soil by cultivation.
No benefits were derived from the
use of fertilizers containing phos
phorus.
