PouItry-KiIIing Knife
Should Be Best Steel

Knives in common use for bleeding
and Draining poultry are not suited
to their purpose, according to United
States department of agriculture Spe-
,cialiSts. The blades are too broad
and too long and the curve at the
point should be on the back instead
of on the cutting edge. The handle is
so large that the killer is encourage
Led to use too much force in making
the cut to bleed. . whereas light
touch of the sharp knife, properly
directed, is all that is needed to cut
the blood vessels. The knives are
also insanitary, in that dirt collects
at the junction of the blade and ham
die.
The knife should be small, with a
narrow blade; stiff, so that it does
not bend; of the best steel, so that
it can be kept sharp and is not nick
ed, when used in Draining; and the
handle and blade should be in one
piece.
Such a knife, with the aid of the

an S-inch flat file. To make it, the
blade should be shaped from the
swall end of the file. 1t should
be, for chickens, two inches long, one
fourth inch wide and one-sixteenth
inch thick at the back. For turkeys,
the blade should be two and one-half
inches long. The curve to make the
point should slope from the back
downward. A blade of this shape
reaches the blood vessels more sure
ly than does a blade on which the
point curves upward. After the blade
is made the ridges on the file should
be ground down, leaving just enough
roughness to prevent the knife Slip

handle should be five inches long,

ing blocks" and bull is assigned
to each block The bull is kept on
a farm conveniently located.
Bulls Useful Ten Years
To prevent inbreeding, bulls are in
terchanged every two years. The
same bulls can thus be used for 10
years in one association. This gives
plenty of time to determine a bulls
real value, and to select the offspring
of the best bulls for breeding pur-
poses. ,~. ,.-
Thus, at small cost, a pure-bred
bull for every 80 to 80 cows is pro-
vided for 10 years. The only cost,
after the bulls are paid for, is the
cost of keeping the bulls.
The purchase price and the expense
of keeping the bulls are distributed
among the members of the aSsocia-
ton according to the number of cows
owned by each. 1t is easily seen
what an assessment of $40 per COW
(amounting to 81 year for ten
years. will do in providing good
bulls. Such bulls build up his dairy
herd and increase the production of
milk without increasing his expense.
Farmers belonging to bull associa-
lions, when questioned regarding the
value of these societies, estimated
the organization increased the value
of the offspring from 80 to SO per
cent, with an average of IS per cent.
A good bulls influence on the herd
will be noticeable for many genera
lions, Likewise, the damage done by
an inferior bull will be equally great.
No other argument should be. neces-

No Immediate Feeding
Needed bV New Chicks

Young chicks should not be fed for
from "a to So hours after Matching,
and will not suffer if given no feed
until the third day. The yolk of the
egg, which is absorbed by the chick,
furnishes all the nourishment requir-
ed during this time. 1t is this pro-
vision of nature for the first susten-
ance of the chick that makes it pos
sible to ship newly Matched chicks
considerable distances.
At the start it is advisable to feed
five times day, dividing the day into
equal periods, and alternating a mash
or soft feed, such as johnnycake, with
a hard grain or scratch feed.

Cooperative Bull AsSoCia-
ton Solves Problem of I'M
proving Dairy Herd With
out the Heavy Expense of
Owning Purebred SireS

Practically all of the 23,OOO,0O0
dairy cows in the United States can
be bred to purebred sires at less
cost than grade bulls are costing
their owners at present, declare spe-
cialiSts in the u. S. department of
agriculture. Not only that, but the
amount of dairy products can in a
few years be greatly increased with
out increasing the number of dairy
COWS or the cost of production. How
can this be done? Simply by dis
carding all grade and scrub bulls and
breeding dairy cows to nothing but
good, purebred sires with ancestors
possessing production records.
But 1 can't afford to own a pure
bred bull" says Mr.. Average Farm
err Il keep only six cows. There
isn't a purebred bull within 10 miles
of my farm. [ can't afford either
the time or the money to take my
cows to the only available purebred
ever to improve my dairy cattle and
increase, the production of milk with
out increasing the number of cows L
keep" 80.
The community bull association is
the answer to Mr.. Average Farmers
question. While few farmers can af-
ford to own or use a $1,000 bull, any
farmer can afford to own a share in
one, even if he owns only or 5
cows. By belonging to a bull assoc
citation every farmer can use good,
purebred bulls no matter what size
his dairy herd. In fact. it is less
expensive than using a scrub bull.
Community Breeding Successful.
The dairy division of the United
States department of agriculture
started organizing bull associations 4
years ago. There are now 55 such
associations successfully operating in
21 states. Progressive farmers are
quick to see the advantages of the
plan once it is explained to them. 1t
is simply an organization of farmers
for the joint ownership, use, and ex-
change of high-class purebred bulls.
These societies also encourage care
full selection of cows and calves; in
troduce better methods of feeding
and housing; assist their members in
marketing dairy stock and dairy
products; fight the contagious dis
eases of cattle; and in many other
ways help in putting the dairy bus
mess of their communities on more
profitable basis.
The typical cooperative bull asso-
citation is composed of from 10 to so
farmers living in the same county.
These farmers jointly purchase five
bulls. The territory covered by the

hybrid cultivated by H. C.
White, of Putney, Ga, since 1914.
1t will mature seed in central and
southern Georgia.
BY the above it will be seen that
some varieties of velvet beans may
be planted successfully as far north
as the southern boundary of Ten
as far as southeastern Virginia in
the Coastal Plain area. One should
carefully select a variey of seed
which is known to be adapted to
the section in which it is to be cul~
tivated or almost certain failure will
follow. This crop is especially well
adapted for cultivation in the At"
lantic and Gulf Coastal Plain areas.
1t does well on cut-oVer pine lands
and on sandy soils and is very val
liable as a soil improving and grain
producing crop. 1t makes fairly
good growth on clay lands, but is
not so we'll adapted for cultivation
on this type of soil probably as some
other legumes. 1t does not succeed
we'll on cold, wet soils Like other
legumes it responds to the use of
acid phosphate. Two hundred to
used under the drill row at the time
of planting.
This crop has not been sufficiently
cultivated yet to determine just
what its relation to lime may be, but
the chances are that it will respond
to it's use in exactly the same way
that other leSumes do. We would
not hesitate to advise an application
of 1000 pounds to areas intended for
velvet beans.
AS this crop is very sensitive to
cold and wet it is useless to plant it
until all danger of frost is past and
the ground was warmed up sufficient
ly to insure its rapid termination
1t should be planted as soon as the
soil is in good condition. and will
have plenty of time to mature before
frost. Planting may be done any
time for a period of six weeks to
two months in the southern portion
area the planting time will of nee
essity be shorter 1t is desirable
as a rule to select varieties which
can be planted at the same time
corn is seeded, though it is not al
ways possible to do this. Some pre-
fer to plant the beans with the corn
and some to plant the beans later. 1t
is naturally an advantage to do the
work at one operation. On the most
fertile type of soil the common
practice is to plant two rows of
corn and one row of velvet beans.
Where this practice is followed an
early maturing variety may be
planted with little extra expense or
labor. On poor soil where velvet
beans are planted in every row of
corn it is saving of labor to use
a planter which will place both
kinds Of seed in the same row at
the same operation.

The best type of grass to plant
on land such as you describe is Red
Top or herds grass. 1t may not sue
coed very we'll under the conditions
you describe, as it is best sown on
land which has been well prepared
where the grass can be covered into
the soil. If it is possible to scratch
over the surface of the ground and
so cover the seeds into the soil it
will be a great advantage. However,
this, is a hardy grass and of all the
tame grasses the best adapted for
growing in a situation such as you
describe. 1t is one of our most val
liable grasses for both hay and pas
turage purposes, and has a wide
adaptability as any grass which can
be planted. We suggest that you
seed Immediately at the rate of 8
to 10 pounds per acre. Earlier plant
ing would have been better, but if
there is plenty of moisture in the
land you may succeed in getting
fairly good stand this summer. You
should give the grass a chance to
establish itself. In other words, do
not undertake to pasture it too soon.

We would not advise you to at
tempt to preserve fertile eggs in
water glass. We do not think it
would be practicable to handle them
in this manner. even for the length
of time you have suggested. A fer
tile egg cannot be kept in a fresh
condition because deterioration sets
in as soon as it is laid and progresses
rapidly. Under the most favorable
conditions there would be no objec-
ton to preserving perfectly fresh
non-fertile eggs which are a week
old in water glass, though our prac-
tice has always been to gather the
eggs to be so preserved and after
allowing them to cool for a few
hours put them Immediately into the
water glass.
There is no trouble about securing
non-fertile eggs if the BOOSTERS are
taken away from the flock for some
time. AS soon as all the eggs have
been secured for preserving which
it is desirable to use for this purpose
he rooster should be killed off The
sooner we institute this practice the,
better off our poultry interests will
be. The common practice of allowing
the roster to remain with the flock
after setting eggs have been secured
simply results in a more or less ra-
pid deterioration of the eggs produc-
ed for table use.
