r= FR | ! 4 i from COW NEEDS CARE IN WINTER TIME Much “of Feed Given Ani- mal Goes for Warmth. Extra feed cannot be substituted for skelter for the comfortable cow is the profitable cow. When the animals are ‘exposed to wintry winds and rains, much of the feed goes to keep the bodies warm instead of to produce milk. “Therefore, some effort should be made to keep the dairy cows comfort- able during periods of disagreeable weather,” says John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at the North Car- olina State college. “Their stalls should be well lighted and properly ventilated but free from air currents. Ventilation is important but should be so arranged as to prevent the air cur- rents from striking the cow’s body. This is accomplished by making the sides of the barn or cow shed tight and admitting fresh air through prop- erly arranged windows.” Mr. Arey states that the practice of requiring the cow to wade through mud and ice some distance to get drinking water is too common and too expensive in the dairy industry. Such needless exposure chills the animal and prevents her from drinking the amount of water that she normally would consume. - | Normal milk, says Mr. Arey, con- ‘tains 87 per cent water and a cow producing around 30 pounds of milk daily will need from 85 to 90 pounds of water each day. She will not drink this much on a cold day unless the supply is convenient and not too eold. The dairy cow of high producing breeds is a creature of habit. Un- ‘uspal treatment makes her nervous. If she is accustomed to a regular rou- tine of feeding and care, a change from this system will make her nerv- ous and distrustful. She should never be run with horses or dogs nor treat- ed roughly while being put in a barn. No other farm animal, says Mr. Arey, will ‘give greater returns for good care than the cow and the herdsman who ~ keeps his animals comfortable in win- ter will be amply repaid. Calf Scours Prevented by Giving Proper Feed Ordinary scours in young calves “are caused by indigestion resulting overfeeding, or feeding milk that is too cold, or feeding it in dirty x § Pn ‘Se-o¥s come on while the calf’ is nursing the cow it gets too much milk, or the milk of the dam is too rich, which may be the case with Jerseys. When scours occur while the calf is fed milk it is usu- ally due to feeding too much milk or feeding it in dirty pails. The best way to handle .a case of ordinary scours is to reduce the amount of milk to about one-half the ‘amount the calf should have, until the bowels become normal. An ounce or two of castor oil will help to clear the bowels. If the calf is hand-fed it should have six to eight pounds of milk at a feeding, which must always be fed in clean pails. It is very essential in feeding young calves to weigh the milk ‘at each feeding to avoid over- feeding. When a calf gets clean, wholesome milk and is not overfed you will have very little trouble with ordinary scours, CELE OCC NN J Dairy Hints $ EECEOES ESOC ECCS EO GOIELE, Oats straw is a very poor feed for dairy cows. If you can cut the corn fodder it will be eaten better by the cows than oats straw. * * * SECC ECE CE, . It is just as possible to overfeed a cow as it is to underfeed, although it is more uncommon. One extreme Is just as gnproftahle as the other. * ‘People who have been underfeeding thelr cows generally go to the other ‘extreme whenever they are convinced [that thir present method of feeding is not correct. = * * The calf should receive the first milk or colostrum from its mother. Colostrum is thick, very yellow in color, and contains nearly six times the amount of protein contained in ordinary milk. = * * Disheloths fail to reach the cracks and crevices where dirt and bacteria are prone to lodge; they fail to cut grease and dirt, and it is almost im- possible to keep them in a sweet, san- itary condition. * * * Underfeeding of dairy cows, occur. ing especially during the winter months, is one of the most common reducers of profits for the dairy farm- er. Overfeeding, however, may be just as unprofitable. * * * Every dairy farmer should provide himself with a milk house to be used exclusively for the handling of milk and milk products. In building a milk * house, do not place it too near the, stable. Make it an entirely separate. (building with sufficient window space.

Literally catching the loafers nap- ping is an excellent method of culling the poultry flock, if the culling proc- ess is carried on from week to week. Extension specialists in poultry at the Ohio Siate university suggest that the weekly culling may be done very conveniently with a flashlight when the birds are on the roost at night. Birds showing shriveled combs or molt, or having empty crops, should be culled. Absence of yellow pigment is one of the indications of a good pro- ducer, and it may be difficult, under a flashlight, to determine the coloring of the eyerings, earlobes, vent, beak and shanks. If there is doubt, the birds can be isolated and examined again by daylight. The heavy egg producers will have lost yellow color from the body parts mentioned. How- ever, the color will return should the bird cease to lay. In the low producer, the comb is’ pale, small and shriveled, the vent is yellow, shrunken and dry. Eyes are small and shrunken, turning in toward the beak. Shanks are yellow, round and full, the pelvic bones close to- gether, hard and rigid. Space be- tween the pelvic bones and the breast bone is shallow or full of hard fat. The skin is thick and underlaid with fat. The bird is generally narrow across the ribs and hips, and the body is shallow and round. How Much Does Pullet Cost Till Able to Lay? The North ‘Carolina State college has conducted several tests to deter- mine the amount of feed required to start a Red, Barred Plymouth Rock or Wyandotte laying pullet. In one series of tests the entire animal feed was milk and in the other meat meal. In the case of the milk-fed pullets it re- quired 20 pounds of feed from the time the pullets were hatched till they be- gan to lay 21 weeks later. This feed cost 71 cents. In the meat meal flock, nine and one-half pounds of mash and nine and one-half pounds of grain were used and the cost was 57 cents. Adding the cost of the chick, and oth- er costs, the S. C. Rhode Island Red, Barred Plymoutn Rock or White Wy- andotte pullets just in lay would cost milk *fed and $117 when meat meal fed. These pullets sell for $2 each at laying time. If you have surplus milk, feed it to the growing birds. For Early Winter and Late Fall Production With most ordinary flocks only 50 per cent or so of the flock is kept as aged hens, the other half being pullets, and the purpose of this is to provide for early winter and late fall egg pro- duction, Pullets, when hatched early and properly fed, will begin laying in October or November and lay quite heavily during this season of the year. Hens that are one year of age or older rarely begin laying before late Decem- ber or early January. They do their heaviest laying during the late winter and early spring months. Therefore, to balance egg production it is neces- sary to have approximately half the flock old hens and half the flock pullets. Poultry Facts Birds that are not fit to be kept over as breeders should be disposed of at once. : x ® K Moldy or spoiled feed is always dangerous. It causes loss of appe- tite, diarrhea, fungus growth in the “innards,” and often kills «= the fowls. * * . Don’t be afraid to feed oats, espe- cially if you can get heavy white oats. They are a great poultry feed, unless too much hull and npt enough kernel. * * * If laying fowls lose weight, give them more grain. If theyre lazy, heavy, and laying poorly, cut the grain down, so they'll eat more mash. * * * Corn, also barley, if fed, should be given in the evening, because these feeds provide needed heat for the birds during cold nights on the roosts. * * * Improve your flock next year by getting some good males to breed with them. Start right now to looking or writing around and locate some good ones. : * x kx Turkeys will begin laying indoors, even in the late winter months, if they are well sheltered and given a good laying mash. * * * . There is plenty of room for more poultry meat and it pays to keep a flock of good meat fowls that have been bred for egg production. ¥ * 0k Don’t think you have to keep Leg- horns to get eggs. Any breed or vari- ety can be bred for egg production. It is a matter of strain more than breed.
