CULLING FLOCK IS FAVORED
Increased Egg Production and Reduced
Feed Bill Mere Than One-HaIf
in One Flock.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture
In weekly report from one of the
government poultry extension men in
Connecticut statement showed the
value Of culling flock which con-
tanned 1,403 White Leghorn hens. This
flock was culled July 10; S2G hens
were marketed and SIT kept as pro-
ducers. The average daily production
for the week previous to the culling
was 800 eggs, and the average daily
production for the week after the Gull
ing was 342 eggs. In other words, the
577 hens averaged more eggs than
were secured from the flock of 1,403,
while the feed bill was reduced more
than half.
Culling should be continued through
out the year. This continuous culling
should consist of wedding out, wher

those who have had Influenza should
protect themselves against tuberculo-
sis. "All who have recovered from in
fluenza," says the Surgeon General,
SHOULD have their lungs carefully ex-
amined by a competent physician. In
fact, 1t is desirable to have several ex-
'aminations made month apart. Such
examinations cannot be made through
the clothing nor can they be carried
out In two or three minutes. If the
lungs are found to be free from tuber-
culosis every effort should be made to
keep them so. This can be done by
right living, good food and plenty OF
fresh air"
Danger Signs.
The Surgeon General warned espe-
cially against certain danger signs.
such as decline" and colds which
hang on"
These, he explained, were often the
beginning Of tuberculosis. IF you do
not get well promptly, If your cold
seems to hang on or your health and
strength decline, remember that these
are often the early signs of tuberculo-
sis. Place yourself at once under the
care Of competent physician. Tuber-
culosis Is durable in the early stages.
Patent Medicines Dangerous In Tuber-
culosls.
"Above all do not trust in the mis-

specific medicine for the cure of tuber-
culosis. The money spent on such
medicines Is thrown away; it should
be spent instead for good food and de-

dences of nonproduction, weakness or

The whole flock should also be given
a careful and systematic culling at
some one time. The hens should be
handled individually and gone over
carefully with the object of dividing
them into two lots, one the better pro-
ducers and the other the poorer pro-
1ucers. From the better producers it
is also desirable to pick out as many

TO KEEP CHICKENS AT HOME
If Hens Develop Tendency to Fly Over
Fence, Flight Feathers Should
Be Clipped.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A yard surrounded by 5-foot fence
will, under most conditions, keep chick
ems at home. If the hens show tend
ency1te fly over such fence, the fight
feathers of one wing should be clipped.
A fence made of woven wire is prefer
able to fence made Of board or other
material. A board should not be used
at the top of a wire fence as this gives
the hens a visible place to alight and
tends to teach them to fly over. The
larger the yard which can be provided
the more contented the hens will be-.
It not only gives them greater oppor-
tunuity to exercise but often makes 1t
possible to maintain sod on the yard
which is advisable.

posits the bundles of corn as they are
cut on the wagons which may be driv-
en- opposite the machine. If 1t Is de-
sired to start the binder several hours
ahead of the ensilage cutter, this at
tachment is not used, as then the corn
may be dumped on the ground and
from there loaded by hand.
In view of the current high prices
of grain, the specialists of the United
States department Of agriculture sug-
gest that, in many instances, the ears
may be profitably snapped or husked
and only the fodder converted into
silage. By the practice of this sys-
TEN the silo will still provide a wealth
Of cheap, succulent roughage.
Sealing Is Neglected.
Sealing of the silo after the struc-
ture is filled is too often neglected.
There are number of practical meth
DDS of topping off the silo so as to
minimize waste and spoilage. A COM
mon practice is to level the silage and
tIieH ~ tramp OVER the up lipOlouShly
for 20 or 80 minutes every day for a
week, in order to eliminate air pock-
cts near the top Of the silo and to
thoroughly compact the mass of feed.
Then oats may be sown after the top
OF the ensilage has been thoroughly
soaked with water.
Make Use of Boys.
The specialists Of the department
recommend the use of boys in the si!O
for tramping and packing the ensilage
during the filling process as conserva-
tive of man laDor as well as siio space.
Under this arrangement one man TO
handle the distributor pipe with three
or four boys in an average IA to 16-
foot diameter silo will not only pack
away the feed so that 1t VIII all lie
saved, but they also will render avail
able the maximum tonnage capacity
of the silo. -

FILL ALL SILOS
TO THEIR LIMIT
Money, Time and Labor Can Be
Saved by Taking Advantage of
Modern Methods.
FARMERS SHOULD COMBINE
Essential That Corn Be Mature and
Past the Dough State Before Cut
Make Use Of Boys for Tramp
Ing and Packing.
(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)

(From the United States Department Of
Agriculture.)
On account of the labor shortage,
neighborhood cooperation in silo fill
ing should be highly developed during
the current fall. All the silage crops
should be saved without loss, while all
silos should be filled to capacity. Five
or six or more farmers who own slos
in one community should combine
their working forces into crew
which should rotate from farm to farm
as the corn becomes ripe enough;
Such an arrangement resulting from
: the interchange of neighborhood farm
labor will minimize the expense Of
housing the silage crops.
1t is essential that corn should not
be cut for ensilage until 1t is mature
and through the dough stage, as re-
peated demonstrations have shown
conclusively that corn in this condi.
ton is, at the peak OF nutrient value.
The bugaboo about frosted corn being
wholly unsuitable for ensilage is fall
lacy, as corn which has been damaged
with frost can be converted into very
good ensilage If it is cut shortly after
wards. In the case of badly frosted
corn, however, there occurs consid-
cradle loss of leaves.
Watering the Chopped Feed.
In case the corn is excessively dry
and wilted at the time of silO filling
water should be run through 4 rubber
hose into the cutting box and blower
during the filling process so that the
chopped feed may be wet thoroughly
and rendered succulent for future feed
ing, In extreme cases where it is i'm
possible to saturate the corn com
pletely in this manner, and where wa
ter pressure is available, second hose
is sometimes carried over the top OF
the silo so that the water falling or
board inclined against the side 'Oi

the forage.

Clippings From Timely Ar
ticles

The present age is one of gigan-

tiles, gigantic organizations; the
efforts of individuals in every field
is united and thereby increased in
power. One of the most striking
evidences of this tendency is found
in the work of the Red Cross, one
Of the great romances of modern
m S. Florence Nightingale
stands out as single vivid figure,
an angel of mercy; but in this
present war, itself an example of
the interdependence of nations,
the angels are in battalions, and
the work of mercy handles units,
not in terms of the individual, but
Of towns and districts. Almost the
whole country is modified, by
money or by labor, in the activity
of the Red Cross. B. G.. Forbes, in
Hearst's Magazine for January,
tells how it was done, in his article
entitled, "The Colossus of Mercy"
The story is one of achievement so
great that it reads like fiction-so
great that it could be nothing less
amazing than truth. He tells how
the most important partner in the
firm of J. P. Morgan thought it
over all night, and then left his
business in order to be Chairman
of the War Council of the Amer.
lean Red Cross. He tells how the
membership was increased in six
months from 100000 to 100000
and how the sum of 100000,
at first considered impossible, was
gladly given by the American PEG
pie. The inspiration of it strike
home, and you feel proud to share
in this mighty work of human
kindness, even if you could contri

How do our sons live in this
