GOOD DEMAND FOR FEATHERS
Poultry Raisers Should Not Overlook
Profits That May Be Made From
This By-Product.

There is usually ready market for
prime feathers that have had proper
care and poultry raisers should not
overlook the profits that may be made
from this by-product. Feathers of
ducks and geese are especially valu-
able but sometimes even chicken
feathers can be sold at price well
worth the trouble to save and care
for them. Feathers should be picked
when ripe, that is, all the animal mat
ter should be out of the quill. At
this stage they are easily 'plucked
without damage Or inconvenience and
will not spoil or become moth eaten.
1t is advisable to separate the body
feathers from them according to color.
White feathers are particularly val
liable.

Red or white currant bushes which
are one year old should have the weak

strong shoots, according to the vigor
of the bush. At the end of the next
year four or five two-year-old shoots
and three. or four one-year-old shoots
should be left, and at the end of the
third year about three shoots each of

lated on Farm,

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
The present is an opportune time for
taking inventory of farm machinery
resources, as we'll as account for es-
sential repairs and record Of imple-
ment condition. Repairs should be or
dered and put in place as soon as re-
ceived. Machines should be gone over
thoroughly and prepared for the COM
ing season. All adjustments should be
made, a plentiful supply Of various
sized bolts, nuts and screws should be
secured and everything got in ship
shape order for the rush season OF
spring work.
A few spare hours can be devoted
advantageously to the collection of old
implement parts, repairs and scrap
iron which have accumulated in the
fence corners and lanes, as the pres
ent values Of scrap and junk justify
the farmer in selling such material,
which is valuable for industrial pur-
poses.
Now is the time, also, to sharpen
plow points and disks and to touch up
the dull harrow. teeth. The cultivator
shOvels should be sharpened, as blunt
points and worn harrow teeth are
highly inefficient and will not perform
satisfactory work. All worn parts
should be replaced and the machines
placed in Al condition for field serv-
ice. In spike-tooth harrOws, teeth
should be reversed in the clamps if
worn only on one side, while if both
points are dull, they should be re-
moved and resharpened by forging and
retempering. Spring-tooth harrow
teeth should be handled similarly
while the disks of disk harrows should
be edged. Mowers, reapers and bind.
ers should be overhauled and put in
order for strenuous campaign. The
United States department of agricul
ture offers valuable information in
Farmers Bulletins 946, CAT, 94S and
991, "Care and Repair of Farm I'm

farmer should read.

WATER KEPT FROM FREEZING
Heat Is Supplied by Manure Arranged
In Box Through Which Coil Of
Pipe Runs.

The arrangement illustrated will be
found to have considerable effect in
keeping from freezing the water in a
trough on the farm. The part of the
pipe which Is covered with manure is
heated, and then water flows upward,
cold water being then drawn in
through the lower pipe. The effect
will. Of course, be much greater If a
coil Of pipe is Embedded in the manure.

ture on them and drop off to reinfest
the pasture.
Some places have been kept ticky
because owners have not prevented their
work horses from becoming infested and
carelessly let the ticks drop off, to lay
more eggs. to hatch more ticks. which
means a longer time and extra work be-
fore being released.
If our October dippings develop the
fact that few ticky cattle are coming to
the watts then it is quite likely that re
commendations will be made to state
ana federal departments for placing
most Of Carter county above the federal
quarantine about December /.
Public stockyards will then be
cleaned and disinfected so native cattle
can be shipped to and from them.
Local quarantnes will be placed on
all known ticky and questionable pas
lures. 1t will then be unlawful to re-
move any cattle or horses from such
places without first securing u GER
tficate from an authorized inspector,
permitting the movement.
This procedure will protect those
who have worked hard to clean up, by
preventing the movement Of question

CARTER COUNTY VERY
NEARLY CLEAR Of
TEXAS FEVER TICK

DR.. Nurdock, of the tick eradication
work Of the United states Department
Of Agriculture, with headquarters at
Ardmorc who. in conjunction with W.
B. Martin, appointed by the state board
of agriculture for this work, have prac-
ticaly eliminated the cattle fever tick
from Carter county and it is more than
possible that. before the coming of the
new year Carter county will have the
quarantine lifted
In support Of this statement, DR.. Muir.
dock has issued the following state
ment
Garter county has waged a deadly
campaign against the cattle fever tick
since early in April with the result, that
unless the October clippings show more
tick infested places than is reasonably
expected. the prospects are good for
placing the greater part Of the county
above the quarantine late this fall
Approximately 10000 head of cattle
and $500 head Of horses, belonging to
some $3.50 different owners, were dip.
ped every month for a period Of five
months.
Thus it win be seen that some 10000
1r more individuals make it their bust
ness to drive cattle to the 20 watts during
each fourWeek period.
"Peoplc i'm general understand that
Oklahoma has an iron-clad tick eradi-
cation law, and have made the best of
| it by complying to its requirements with
/ the minimum amount Of resistance.
Contrary to what is generally sup
posed. this is very important time of
| the year to continue the dipping Of cat
| tie which appear to be free from ticks
and owners opposed to late dippings
should bear in mind that this is the
only sure way Of getting rid Of the
tick pest in one season. The young
ticks which Matched from July and Au
gust eggs are still in the field and pas
lures. patiently waiting to attach them
selves to cattle and horses. so they car
cngorge themselves with blood, mature
and drop off to lay more eggs for neXt
years crop.
These young ticks are now being
brought in on the cattle ana killed by
dipping, thus giving them no chance
to reproduce themselves.
at is much better to drive cattle
through dip on u chilly fall day, thar
to be compelled to handle them during
tho hot summer next year, as will be
the case unless we are thorough in GU
work and clean up this fall
Ticks cannot be eradicated by popu
lar opinion as to how and when cattl
should be dipped but only by following
scientific principals, based on the hah
its and life history of the parasite.
About the only places showing tick
recently, are those on which some in
diyidua animals have been permitte,
to miss a dipping, allowing ticks to ma
