EE — FARM NOTES. —Wood shavings make better poul- try nests than hay or straw. —Mold is one of the commonest troubles in sprouting oats, and moldy feed is dangerous. —The first off “the roosts in the morning and the last to roost at night are the best layers. —XKeep the chicks that are raised in a brooder pretty close to the heat during the first three days. —High-piced seeds that produce high yields are cheaper than Jlow- priced seeds that produce low yields. — Live poultry sometime shrinks as much as 17 per cent .in weight dur- ing the time it is in transit to market. —_Follow directions and handle the incubator correctly if the best hatch of livable chicks is to be secured, say poultry workers. —This is the season when mites and lice multiply so fast that one of 'em becomes a grandma of hundreds in just a few days. —There is more profit and pleasure from one well-pruned and well-spray- ed fruit tree than from ninety and nine neglected ones. —Poultry should always be fatten- ed hefore killing. This means better quality, more weight, and a consider- ably higher price per pound. —Numerous auctions will be held during the next few weeks and it is well to remember that cattle sell much better when it is known they have passed a clean tuberculosis test. —It takes 21 days for a hen egg to hatch, about 28 days for ducks, from 30 to 34 days for a goose egg, and 28 days for turkey eggs. The time may Jey somewhat according to condi- ions. —Hens must eat plenty of mash, if they are to lay their best. Have you made enough hopper room so that every hen can get their fill? There should be a foot of space for every five or six hens. —A slight improvement in feed- ing methods made a difference of more than $46 in the monthly returns of an Illinois dairyman last fall. A change in the ration made the feed cost less, yet the cows produced more butterfat. —For fattening broilers a good ra- tion is made up of seven parts of corn meal by weight, three parts wheat middlings, and one part bran. Wet with milk until it will pour like bat- ter, and feed to the birds in shaded pens. —“Prospects for profitable horse breeding are better now than ever,” declares Wayne Dinsmore, secretary of the Horse Association of America. According to him, the census of horses and mules on farms January 1, 1925, compared to similar figures on Janu- ary 1, shows that horses have been reduced from 19,767,161 to 16,535,- 759 a decrease of 16.3 per cent. while mules show an increase of 5.5 per cent; however, mules under two years of age, show a decrease of 44.5 per cent. This is clear evidence of a great shortage of young animals. “At the present rate of production, it would take over 27 years to pro- duce the 22,366,367 head of horses and mules we have on our farms at the present time.” Dinsmore says. And according to him, production must be almost doubled to take care of our future needs. “Farmers with the kind of mares whose progeny sell at good prices have been increasing production in the last two years, while those who have been keeping inferior mares, or are not naturally good horsemen, have been receiving such low prices as to discourage them from raising a poor type of horse. Such a state of affairs will encourage the production of good horsés and discourage the production of inferior omes, which is precisely what we need,” says Dins- more. “Competition with mechani- cal power requires the production of better horses and mules, capable of doing more work in a given time,” he maintains. : —A scientific study of roup in poul- try, one of the most serious fowl dis- eases, supports the conclusion that proper vaccination is one of the most and Easy Ford Ton Truck - 1926 Chev.

Stiles and Dr. Hubert Bunyea, both of the bureau of ani- mal industry, United States Depart: {ment of Agriculture. scientific ‘paper, “Vaccination Medication for Control of Roup,” Doctor Bunyea reports the following conclusions, based on experiments: Birds about one year old appear to be more susceptible to roup than two years old or older under the same conditions. The use of antiseptics in the drink- ing water (permanganate of potash, and bichloride of mercury in particu- lar) does not appear to have any ap- preciable curative virtue and very little preventive property. | The local external application of so- Jutions of mercurochrome or silver nitrate is not very effective in the : prevention or treatment of roup. | Bacterins prepared from the bac- | terria involved in outbreaks of roup | appear to be efiective in the preven- i tion of the disease as well as the , treatment of incipient cases, even un- ‘der unfavorable climatic conditions. Two kinds of bacterins have proved effective, one made from bacteria oc- curring in a single outbreak and one from infections in a number of out- breaks. The progress of roup is appreciably influenced by “secondary invaders,” meaning bacteria which develop in ad~ dition to the chief virus that causes the disease. The use of vaccination in treating a considerable number of poultry flocks with roup gave very encouraging results.

The Story of the Peppy. In the spring of 1919 after the war, on Flanders Field, where the firing had been terrific and thousands of soldiers had fallen in battle, in the midst of complete devastation, the poppies came up in abundance. The French women tell today that the poppy is significant of the sacrificial blood of the boys who fell on Fland- ers Field. Those who have traveled through France since the war tell us it is peculiarly true, that where the battle was the fiercest and the blood- shed greatest, the poppies to this day grow most profuse. From this superstition comes the true message of the poppy, the mes- sage from the boys that fell. The disabled service men in the hospitals are paid one cent each for making the poppies for the Ameri- can Legion Auxiliary, and for many this is the first money earned since the war. To many this money is a blessing, for there are a large number of un- compensated men in the hospitals, and the poppy money is being used to support families ete. Many disabled boys claimed the making of poppies has saved their reason in time when there was noth- ing else they could do. Each year the American Legion and Auxiliary holds a poppy sale with its double mission, to remind the public that the war is not over yet for many, and to raise funds for local relief work for the service men and women and their families. The money for the sale of poppies can be and is used for relief work or child welfare, and at least 75 per cent. and if the Legion wished, all of it, is spent for assistance locally. In many cities and towns tag days are forbidden, but all over the nation at Memorial Day the little red poppy of the American Legion and Auxil- iary breathes its message: — BUY ME—I stand for service. WEAR ME—I am a memorial to all who died .in service. Boys Learn to Test Cows. Twenty-four Pennsylvania boys at- tended a cow testers’ short course at the Pennsylvania State College last week under the guidance of C. R. Gearhart, state supervisor of cow testing work. They learned how to take samples of milk, test them, and keep records. Feeds and feeding also engaged their interest.
