10 —Lancaster Farming, Friday, Feb. 15, 1957 For the Farm Wife and Family (Continued from page nine) 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon soda, scant 2 tablespoons butter and lard 1 cup thick milk Reasons Why Laying Pullets Pick. No 2 Laying pullets are in a constant state of pregnancy and since they are developing eggs daily they have cravings for various types of foods and also have quite a craving for salt Your feed has to have just exactly the right amount of salt in it, not too much and not to little Overfeeding on scratch grain will reduce the amount of salt Your pullets get to the point where they will pick one another to sat isfy this urge. 'Also feeding too high a proportion of scratch gram cuts down the protein and other vitamins they crave which frequently will get them to picking feathers and even flesh on other pullets. Therefore, we suggest that you not feed layers more than 10 lbs of scratch gram per hundred birds per day for White Leghorn and at the very most do not feed over 12 lbs. per hundred birds per day in the cold weather to heavily laying birds Reduce scratch gram in warm weather Feed a top quality laying ration that is finely ground so that the birds cannot sort out coarse particles In the jia=i’ Provide plenty of ..ace lor birds to eat and at least 3 sq ft of floor space per bird Pul lets that are overcrowded m the laying house get awfully sick of looking at one another and may start picking lust on general principles Scratch gram should be fed in the lit ter in all parts of the pen to provide exercise and give every bird an even chance at the feed This allows each pul let to get enough ana none to get too much Babcock Bessies are not nat urally cannabihstic They will lay at a high rate of speed for a long time and will come up in egg size rapidly Yon will like these Bessies For litera ture and prices write Babcock Poultry Farm, Inc.

Lancaster EX 2-4963 * - * Garden Hint: Soap Operas In Garden Patch Chases Birds Mrs Henry Brubaker, R 1 Mt. Joy, offers a suggestion and poses, a problem in a letter she vvntgs. Dear Sirs: I have a suggestion and a request for an answer. It is early to be sharing this secret, but as I study our seed catalogs, I think I will send it along. Does anyone have trouble keep ing the birds out of their pea patches’ I am sure that we all know what it means to have a nice patch of peas just about ready to harvest and lose them to a flock of “nasty starlings.” Save that old radio that you are just about ready to junk or buy one someone else lias junked. Be consistent in keeping it “blar ing” away from dawn to dark right out in the patch. Maybe you will have peas for jour frezer. At least I did last year best crop I had for seven years. I was' wondering if anyone could tell me how to restore old sleigh bells 9 We have a lovely string, but the leather is hard, old and cracked. The bells are tarnished. Is there any way to restore the bells and any new ideas as how to use them or have them rebuilt on a new foundation? We would never use them again on horses and it seems to me there should be a way to enjoy them in our home.

Ready to Cook Poultry Gaining In Popularity Of the 4 3 billion pounds oi poultry slaughtered in 1955 in commercial plants, about 88 per cent was turned out in ready to-cook form, a study by the U S. Depaitment of Agricultuie shows. Trends indicate that this proportion will grow until prac tically all commercially slaught ered poufltry will be ready to cook, the researchers concluded. Slightly more than a third of the , poultry was slaughtered under Department of Agricul ture inspection. USDA reported. A little less than a third of poul try slaughtered was solid in frozen form. During the last 10 years, there has been a rapid in crease in the proportion of ready-to-cook poultry that is frozen, but a continuation of this trend is' doubtful, the Depart ment said. The quantity frozen seems to have leveled off in the last four years. Reasons why freezing of poul try may not increase as rapidly as in the past were cited as fol lows; First; Development of the fry er-type turkey has reduced the need for freezing; Second: antibiotics have been developed that lengthen the shelf life of poultry; Third: highly integrated chain store systems speed the distribu tion of the fresh, iced product and reduce the need for freezing, Fourth improvements in pro cessing and transportation have speeded up the marketing pro- • Farm Women’: farm Women 17 To Hold Quilting ' The sunshine committee of Farm Women 17 reported one card, one basket of fruit, and cookies sent to Valley Forge Vet* erans Hospital at a meeting of the Society, Feb. 7 at the home of Mrs. Charles Myers, Buck. • Other business included a vote to donate $5 to Crispus Attucks and to Heart Haven.
