BOYS LEARNING REAL THING

The class in animal %husbandry in the
Bookings high school under Prof. w.
P. Beard, have just completed a very
successful poultry culling campaign.
This work has proven a valuable com
munity service as well as affording the
boys much good training. The original
idea was to Gull the home flocks of the
boys in the class. this was carried out
and many other farmers would have
liked to have had their f1ocks culled
but lack Of time prevented this. Some
Of the boys are going to Gull neighbors
flocks.
In the fourteen flocks gone W
there were 651 hens out of which ~
little over half were culled, 1928. TIL,
per cent Of culls will run higher at
this time Of year and in most cases
the owners wanted them culled pretty
close. A careful check was carried
on by one Of the boys with his culls.
From Tuesday till Saturday they did
not find an egg from the Is non-layers
as selected by the class. In other cases
a few eggs were found, but not near
enough to make them profitable.
At the time of culling II of the
focks were treated for lice and it was
found needed in practically every
case. In all cases but one the treat
ment was with blue ointment, due to
the u%nfavorable weather for dipping.
One flock was dipped for lice in a solu-
ton of sodium flouride, one of the
very best of louise killers. Where
scaly leg was found it was also treated.
The class have been studying vari-
Gus things that made it of much i'm
portance to see the insides Of an ami
NAL. The class was given an opportu-
nifty to butcher a pig and took it.
There were some amusing situations
accompanying the stunning, sticking,
etc. A great deal of information as to
anatomy and points on butchering were
acquired by the class. Later on the
class will butcher a calf and sheep and
probably another hog, there being
too much to learn to get in all on one
occasion. They have also performed
.autopsies on chickens.
Another project carried out by the
class was the treatment of so shOats
for worms by the capsules and gun
method. The treatment was given to
afford opportunity for the class to get
the experience of preparing the quar-
tiers and hogs, administering the cap
sule and the clean up afterwards. The
only unsuccessful part of the project
was that there were no worms, prob
ably due to the fact that the herd on
this farm had been treated a year or
so ago and kept clean.
This class of seventeen boys are
choosing their home projects for the
year. Indications are for a very sue
cessful year. There will probably be
about twenty-five ewes, fifteen sows,
several baby beef, ONE dairy cows, as
we'll as a large number Of chickens and
several warns Of bees listed by the
boys as home projects. Many of the
boys have already secured their stock.
Several raised corr last year and are
planning on feeding that. Careful rec
ords are kept and an intensive study
are made of these projects. There is
no other method used in education
that can compare with the use of
projects for actually making a study
function in the life Of the pupil and
community.

Disarmament

THE Disarmament Conference
doesn't seem to be getting anywhere
very fast. There is apparent distrust
between England, France and Japan.
They are jealous of the amount OF
maritime wal power to be accorded
each, and Japan looks askance at the
United States. Really, the only way
to disarm is to disarm. If that be
done all nations will stand on an
equality-as completely 80 as if each
wasted its resources upon a thousand
battle ships. Tampering with evil
brings further evil. The League OF
Nations proposed universal disarma-
ment; but the fool people we're lied
out of that blessing. The future will
