HOW MARX ETING WILL
STEADILY IMPROVE

Marketing machinery is a product
OF evolution; any improvement must
continue to come gradually through
better methods and procedure and
not through setting up instantly a
perfectly efficient and automatically
operated new marketing machine.
Market experts in the United States
Department of Agriculture point out
that the worker in the field of mar
keting can assist in the development
of better marketing practices just
as the worker in the field of produce
ing, in the improvement of general
practices.

FEED IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN GREEN DUCK RAISING
Ducks From s 70 IL Weeks Old Find
Ready Market and Com
mand Good Price.

Young ducks forced for rapid
growth and marketed at from to
IL weeks of age are called green
ducks. They weigh from 5 to 6
pounds and are the principal source
OF income on commercial duck farms
The owner of a small flock of ducks
will also find it profitable to crowd
the growth of at least part of the
ducklings that he raises and market
them at two months of age.
Feeding the Young DuckIings
Ducklings do not need feed until
they are "a to SO hours old after
which they may be fed five times
daily on Il mixture of equal parts, by
measure, of rolled oats and bread
crumbs, with, 8 per cent of sharp
sand mixed in the feed. About the
third day this feed is changed to equal
parts bread, rolled oats, bran, and
corn meal; then after the seventh day
to parts OF bran, l part each of low
grade wheat flour and of corn meal
10 per cent of green feed, and per
cent Of sand or grit in all Of the
rations.
Feed four times daily after the
seventh day until the ducklings are
2 or 3 weeks old, when they need to
be fed only three times daily. After
the ducklings are a week old the grit
or sand may be fed either in the mash
or in a hopper, but the common prac-
tice is to feed grit in all duck rations.
Beef scrap is not usually fed until the
ducks are week old. when about
per cent is added to the ration, which
amount is gradually increased to Is
per cent by the end Of the third week.
From this time on gradually increase
the proportion Of corn meal and de-
crease the bran until the ration be-
comes the fattening ration given be-
low for those ducklings which are to
be marketed.
Fattening Before Killing
For two weeks before killing the
ducklings to be marketed should be
fattened on ration made of parts,
by weight, of corn meal. 2 parts of
low-grade -four or middlings, part
Of bran, one-half part of beef scrap,
with per cent grit and 10 per cent
green feed. Feed this mash three
times daily, or use mash of parts
corn meal, l part low-grade wheat
-four, l part bran, 5 per cent beef
scrap, and per cent oyster shell,
with the green feed and grit added.
The green feed is sometimes left
out of the ration during the last
seven days of fattening, as it tends
to color the meat, and may produce
a slightly f1abby rather than a firm
flesh; however, it is easier to keep
the ducklings in good feeding condi-
tion on a mash containing green feed.
Boiled fish may replace the beef scrap,
but should only be fed up to within
two weeks before they are killed. as

COAT OF WHITEWASH
AID TO SANITATION
Cheapest of All Pc ~
Poultry +.
May Be Used on Exterior as Well az
Interior if So DesIred-GoVern-
ment Formula for Preparation
Of Liquid Composition.

Early in the spring, when everything
else around the farm is being cleaned
and put in shape for the summer, &
coat of whitewash will add greatly tC
the appearance and sanitation of the
interior of the poultry house. 1t is
the cheapest Of all paints and may
be used on the exterior Of the build
ing, too, if so desired.
Whitewash is made by shaking about
ten pounds of quicklime in pail with
two gallons of water, covering the PAL
with cloth or burlap and allowing il
to Stake for one hour. Water is then
added to bring the whitewash to a
consistency which may be applied
readily.
A weatherproof whitewash for ex.
terror surfaces recommended by the
United States department Of agricul.
ture may be made as follows: O
Stake one hushel Of quicklime in Il
gallons of hot water; (2) dissolve
pounds of common salt and one pound
of sulphate Of zinc in two gallons Of
boiling water; pour (2) into ID, then
add two gallons of skim milk and mix
thoroughly. Whitewash is spread
lightly over the surface with broad
brush.

DO AWAY WITH SCRUB STOCK
Registered Bull Calf Can Be Obtained
at Reasonable Figure-Milk Flow
Increased.

(By o. H. HANSEN of the dairy hus-
bandry division, Minnesota College of
Agricultural
Why should anyone be satisfied with
scrub cattle? 1t is true there are not
enough purebreds for all, but the heif-
ers from scrub herd will be Won
derfully improved over their dams if
they are sired by a good purebred bull
from a productive dam. A registered
bull calf can be had at reasonable
price from dam which has made a
creditable record, and the offspring of
such bull proves the wisdom of the
investment. 1t is a known fact that
in many cases the milk produced by
the heifer of such a bull is more than
double that of the dam. Neither
these animals nor their offspring will
ever he purebred, but the continued
use Os first-class registered dairy
bull Of the same breed will in q few
years result in a herd that may equal
in production many purebred herds.

DAIRY
FACTS
VALUE OF BULL ASSOCIATION
Farmers Enabled to Cooperate in
Purchase and Use of Sire at =,
Lowest Expense.

(By r. w. CLARK, Colorado Agricultu-
raj College, Fort Collins, Colo)
The bull association is strictly a CO.
operative enterprise. Five, eight, or
ten farmers in neighborhood unite in
the purchase and use of a bull. The
number of farmers in a community
proposition like this depends upon
the number of COWS each keeps and
proximity TO each other. A local or
ganization like this is called a ''block."
There may be other "blocks'' in the
same township or county, all operat-
ing under the same constitution and
bylaws. After a bull has been used
two years or so in one ''block" he is
exchanged for another bull in one of
the blocks.
Through this kind of an organiza-
ton, the purchase price of the bull per
farmer is low. The cost of the keep
of the bull is distributed among q
larger number of people, only good
bulls are used and in-breeding is
avoided.
Farmers should look into this prop
osftion. 1t means much to them.

clesninu Up Used Ground,

ously been kept or which has not been
used for poultry for several years.
=: Cleaning Up Used Ground.
Sometimes these directions cannot be
followed in all respects. If all the
available ground has been recently
used for poultry, the fowls should be
removed from the part which is to be
used for the new-flock, a good coating
of freshly slaked fine should be ap-
piled to the entire surface of the
ground, and few days later it should
be plowed. 1t may now be cultivated
three or four times with intervals of a
Week, and finally sowed with oats, rye
or other grain. In few months the
greater part of the germs will be de-
stroyed; but it is best to leave the
ground unoccupied by fowls until a
winter has passed, as the freezing and
thawing of fall and spring are more
effective than either continued cold
or warm weather.
If the eggs must be Matched under
| hens instead of in the incubator, the
problem of starting clean flock is
much more difficult. Hens are liable to
harbor parasite worms in their intes-
| tines and to scatter the eggs Of these
| worms wherever they go. They gen.
orally have lice and mites hidden in
their feathers, which pass to the young
chicks Immediately after the latter are
Matched; and they may be the carriers
Of 6iczoo who
pear perfectly healthy.
For these reasons hens used for
Matching should be selected from a
flock known to have been free from
other diseases than those caused by
accidents for at least year, and the
individual birds Of which are lively,
vigorous, free from lice and mites, and
are producing a large number of eggs.
Clean Hens and Nests.
| The hens selected for Matching
should be busted with a good lice pow
der before they are given q setting of
eggs; their nests should be perfectly
clean, made with fresh, soft hay or
straw; and there should be a box Of
road dust, Or sifted hard coal ashes,
|
where they can dust themselves when
ever they come from the nest.
When the young chicks are taken
from the nest they should be careful
~ examined for lice. These parasites
usually accumulate under the throat
and upon the top and back of the
head. If any are found rub a little
sweet oil, pure lard or vaseline with
the finger over the parts where the
lice are. This kills the lice by OBJ
structing their breathing pores and
does no harm to the chicks.
By beginning in this manner q
flock may be obtained which is prac-
tically free from disease germs and
parasites, but in order to keep 1t in
this condition the premises must be
frequently cleaned and occasionally
disinfected.

SHADOW TURKEY HEN
TO Her STOLEN NEST
II Is Often Long and Tedious
Task TO Find Places.
Easy and Quick Method Is to Conflne
Fowls Until Late in Afternoon
When They VIII Head Straight
for Secluded Retreat.

Given free range, turkey hens
usually secrete their nests in obscure
places, such as patches of weeds, tall
grass, or bushy thickets. and often
wander a half-mile or more from home
before they find places that suit them.
To find these "StOIcn" nests is often a
long and tedious task, the usual meth
cd being to follow each turkey hen
as she separates from the flock and
that she does not know she is OBJ
served. a much easier and quicker
method than this is to confine the
hens early some morning soon after
they have come down from roost and
let them out late in the afternoon
Those that are laying will then head
straight for their nests in order to
lay the eggs they have been holding
If attractive nesting places are pre-
pared about the barnyard, turkey hens
sometimes lay In them. In the North,
where the laying season often begins
while there is still snow on the ground,
they are more likely to select their

the South, as they do not range far
during cold weather.
Nests are easily made from boxes
or barrels, or by scooping out little
earth in the shape of a shallow bowl
and piling brush around it to satisfy
the hens desire for seclusion. Of all
nests, however, the one most preferred
by turkey hens is a barrel laid on it's
side and nest shaped in it with
straw or hay, according to United
States department of agriculture poul-
try specialists. When only few tur-
keys are kept it is the usual custom
to allow them free range throughout
the breeding and laying season. If
many turkeys are kept, however, it is
usually found most convenient to use
breeding pens or Enclosures, in which
the turkeys are kept until they have
laid their eggs for the day, letting
them out late on each afternoon.
When confined to a breeding pen sew
eral turkey hens often lay in the same
nest but on free range each hen usu-
ally makes her own nest.

PUREBRED SIRE is VALUABLE
Income $32 Per Cow in Province
of Ontario.

The first cross of a purebred bull
on the average dairy herd increased
the income $50 per cow These figures
were secured in the province of
Ontario in comparison of 40 herds
using grade bulls and 81 using pure
breds. Mr.. Rex E. Willard of the
farm management department of the
North Dakota Agricultural college, in
applying these figures to North
Dakota, shows that if one farmer with
20 COWS using grade bulls received an
income of $1,GS0, his neighbor with 20
COWS but who began using purebred
bulls five years ago should receive ST.
800, or $640 more.
