Control Orchard Mice. This is a good time to put out bait | stations in infested areas of the or- | chard. Fruit specialists of the Penn-| sylvania State College say that small | bundles of corn fodder make satis-| factory stations. Poisoned bait for the control of meadow mice and pine | mice can be placed under the stations in November. | Feed Poultry Skimmilk. Containing important proteins and | vitamins, skimmilk is a valuable feed | for poultry. One hundred laying hens | need 4 to 6 gallons of skimmilk daily | for good egg production, according to | poultry specialists of the Pennsylva- | nia State College. Reduce the drink-| ing water to get the birds to drink| the milk. | Use Stunted Sorghum. | Those who have had sxDerience | with drought in the West agree that there is little or no danger in feeding | _ stunted sorghum if it is dried for hay or put into the silo, report Penn State agronomists.
