Afternoons
Poultry Kaisers Using Mash Mixture
Many Nebraska poultry raisers are
using the mash mixture suggested be
low: 360 pounds yellow corn meal, 200
pounds shorts or ground wheat, 100
pounds bran, 100 pounds pulverized
oats, 80 pounds alfalfa meal, 100
pounds meat meal (60% protein) 50
pounds dried butter milk, 10 pounds
salt.
If they have skim milk available
they change the proportions and mix
the mash as follows: 460 pounds of
yellow corn meal, 200 pounds shorts
or ground wheat, 100 pounds bran, 100
pounds pulverized oats, 80 pounds of
alfalfa meal, 50pound meat meal (60%
protein), 10 pounds salt.
They use the mash alone for the
first three or four weeks and then
gradually start feeding cracked yellow
corn and whole wheat. From the fourth
to the tenth week they feed one part
corn and wheat to two parts mash.
Oats and Barley Smut Treatments
Numerous inquiries are being re
ceived at the Nebraska College of
Agriculture for information as to the
best methods of treating oats and bar
ley to control smut.
Covered smut in barley may destroy
as much as 50 per cent of the crop. It
can be controlled by treating the seed
with one pint of Formaldehyde in 40
gallons of water. This may be sprink
led over 40 or 50 bushels of seed or the
seed may be dipped into the solution.
The amount of water used as a carrier
of the formaldehyde may be reduced
to 10 gallons, this treatment being
preferred in many cases since it wets
the grain less. Care should be taken
to see that the one pint of formalde
hyde is applied at the rate of one pint
to 40 or 50 bushels of grain. If ap
plied stronger than this, the germin
ation will be injured.
The formaldehyde treatment as out
lined far barley may be used for oats.
> '.. • ■'»< ■ v.
Some prefer to use a small hand
sprayer to apply the formaldehyde in
proportions of one pint of formalde
hyde to one pint of water, spraying
this over 40 or 50 bushels of grain.
This so called dry treatment can be
used for both barley and oats.
Seed grain sprinkled with a solution
of formaldehyde should be covered
for about six hours and then spread
out to dry or be seeded. Formalde
hyde should be purchased in sealed
cans or bottles.
Plant Potatoes on New Ground
For best results potatoes should be
planted in ground that has not had
potatoes, in it for any of the preced
ing five years. The so called “running
out” of potatoes in central and south
eastern Nebraska is due usually to a
virus disease called “spindler tuber.
This disease is so common in central
and southeastern Nebraska that it gen
erally pays to use new seed from
northwestern Nebraska or from north
ern states each year. The disease,
however, may be held in check fairly
well by mulching the potato patch
after the potatoes are up with six to
eight inches of coarse straw. Potatoes
grown under the mulch will outyield
potatoes grown under cultivation in
three out of five years in central and
eastern Nebraska. Potatoes grown
under straw are also less likely to
produce knobs and growth cracks.
It takes from one-fourth to one-third
of an acre to provide enough potatoes
for the average farm family of five
persons. The Irish Cobbler variety is
replacing Early Ohio potatoes in cent
ral and northeastern Nebraska. Seed
potatoes should be cut in blocky pieces
that average one and one-half to two
ounces in weight. Each piece should
have at least one good eye.
Remodeled Brooder Houses
Buildings not originally intended for
brooding chicks have been converted
into satisfactory brooder houses with
slight changes made at very moderate
costs. Changes usually consisted of
tightening up cracks, putting ifi a
floor and some windows of either
glass, glass substitutes or muslin. In
sulation in the form of insulating
boards, building paper, lumber, or even
straw will usually make brooding less
of a risk. Direct sunlight contains
health factors that chicks should have.
Windows that open and allow direct
sunshine to enter are an asset to any
brooding enterprise. Muslin cloth dip
ped in boiled linseed oil becomes quite
transparent and thus permits excellent
ultra violet radiation. In case it fs
necessary to put in windows, pla^e
them near the floor.
EMMET, SOUTH SIDE

Connell brought Cheddau cheese made,
and it was served with the lunch, both
kinds were very good. An all day
