WEAK CHICKS NOT DUE TO
INCUBATOR, EXPERT SAYS

The Matching season will soon be on.
In fact, some have begun Matching al
ready, but for laying purposes pullets
Matched by the middle of April will do
about as well as earlier Matched, if
they are properly grown out. Very
early Matched pullets are likely to
moult during the early spring, which
! is a very poor time for the moulting
period.
The question is so often asked at to
whether it is advisable to stay by the
old. setting hen or buy an incubator
that it might be timely and desirable
to enter into a discussion of the sub
ject at this time.
The question can more easily be ans
wered if one knows about what num-
Der of chicks are to be Matched. Where
a large number of chicks are to be
Matched it would be quite impractical
to do it with hens. This would, of
course, apply where thousands are to
be Matched for baby chick trade or on
large commercial plants. But what
about the farm wife who wishes to
hatch, say from 100 to 500 chicks?
One hears much complaint about the
operation of incubators and of unsat-
isfactory results.
The Matching of such a number I'M
der hens can be done. 1t is often diff
ficult for lack of setting hens early in
the season, and entirely impossible
with fiocks composed entirely of the
light breeds. The care of such num-
Der of sitting hens would amount to
more labor than the operation of in
cubators. Where less than 100 chicks
are Matched the use of hens would no
doubt prove the most economical, as
in such cases poultry is side line,
as rule, and there is no difficulty to
hatch and raise that number with less
attention with hens than with an in
cubator and brooder.
The unsatisfactory results so COM
monty reported with incubators are,
after all, largely brought about by
carelessness on the part of the operat- |
or If directions are followed fertile |
eggs should be Matched as successfully !
in incubators as under hens. Howev-
er, the incubator is more susceptible |
to carelessness than hens. For that |
reason careless persons should resort |
to hens rather than incubators.
Weakness of chicks so commonly at
tributed to incubators is largely due
to weak parent stock. Eggs from Wig
orous stock should hatch out strong,
vigorous chicks, both under hens and
incubators. Moisture and ventilation.
of course, have their effect, but relia
BILE incubator manufacturers have
solved these problems quite satisfac-
torily. The cheap incubator for that
reason may not be the most econom-
ical after all. Clean hens and reliable
lncubators should give the same re-
suits from the standpoint of hatch
ing.
Though raising of incubator chicks
IN the brooder is no more difficult than
raising them with hens. On the con-
,rary, more healthy conditions can, as
rule, be provided, especially when
1ens and chicks are confined to close
luarters.-H. E. Dvorachek, Arkan-
;as Station.

"a. l. Foard County Agent.)

corning the care of ewes at Landing
time have been received by the Uni
versity of Missouri, College of Agri-
culture. The most common complaint
is that "the ewes heavy with lamb
walk with a weak, unsteady gait and
later get down and seem to be par
alyzed in their hind legs" In most
cases where these symptoms have
occurred the ewes have come into
lambing season in run down condi-
ton.
In many cases too much corn, corn
slower, corn silage, timothy hay, oat
straw or similar feeds have been fed.
Such feeds do not contain sufficient
raw material for the mother to build
up muscle, bone and blood. Alfalfa
hay, linseed oil meal and bran must be
fed.
Breeding ewes that are in strong,
thrifty condition in the fall can be
carried up to lambing season on good
alfalfa, cowpea, or clover hay. How
ever, about a month before Landing
it is advisable to feed about one-half
pound of grain per head per day. A
grain ration of six parts corn, three
parts bran and one part oil cake by
weight has proved successful. A
double handful of this ration will av-
erage about one-half pound. After
Landing it will be necessary to in
crease the feed to one pound of grain
up to the time pasture is available.
Some native ewes are troubled with
"nodular disease" This disease is
due to small worms lodging in the It's
sues of the intestines, and a small,
tumor-like mass is formed around
them. So far as is known the trouble
caused by this worm is due to the de-
creased area of digestion. The only
Known remedy is liberal feeding.
The Missouri College of Agricul- |
,ure will be glad to answer any fur
her inquiries.

in Pennington,

The Hereford Association will have
an open meeting in Pennington Sat-
urday, March Gath, at 10 o'clock a.
m. This meeting is open for anyone
who wishes to attend. Prof. H. O.
Allison of the Agricultural College
will address the farmers at that time.
He will talk about the production of
beef calves or some other cattle sub
ject that will be interesting to any
farmer in the county. Prof. Allison
is quite an authority on the produc-
ton of beef cattle, and while he is
coming in the intereset of the Here
ford Association, il was thought that
while we have man like this with
us it was best to make it an open
meeting and invite all farmers. What
Mr.. Allison has to gay will be of as
much interest to any producer of beef
cattle as it will be to the Hereford
Association. Let US give him good
hearing.

Corn Makes Best Silage Cron.

The first service of silo is to pro-
vide means of storing and utilizing
coarse feeds or by-products that other
wise would be lost.
The department of farm crops of
the Missouri College of Agriculture
recommends corn as the best CROP in
general for silage. 1t provides the
best quality silage and in addition
makes the greatest yield in tons per
acre. Corn two parts and soybeans
one part make an excellent combina-
ton for silage.
On very thin soils or in excessively
dry years the grain sorghums are
commonly better that corn in that
they return larger tonnage per
acre. In general, however, corn is to
be preferred.
Crops which make fair quality Of
forage when cured as hay should not
be used in preference to corn for fill
ing silos.

urged that congress soon provide the

Indies and also determine the form of
government for the newly acquired
islands. Both denied discussing the
pending resolution to endorse Presl-
dent Wilson's peace note.
The administration, it is understood.
favors a bond issue to pay for the is
lands, inasmuch as they are a perma-
nent national Investment,
Secretary lansing would not discuss
the form OF government but Senator
Stone favors Quasi-military form of
government until congress provides
some other.
"My idea" said Senator Some sis
that an officer of the government be
appointed governor of the islands to
assume charge. that 4 customs officer
and comptroller be named also to look
after the finances and that they work
