SHOULD GULL EVERY FLOCK

Ten hocks Of poultry have been
culled at demonstration meetings in
the county through the efforts of the
Brookings County Farm Bureau. There
were 500 hens in these ten f1ocks and
BAT were culled out as being very poor
keep. That means that 81 per cent
of the hens were not worth keeping.
tuberculosis was found in four of the
| hocks, roupe found in two Of the
focks, and scaley leg found in six of
the flOcks.
There is no way to combat tubercu-
losis in fowls, except to get rid of the
diseased flock and absolutely clean up
the premises. All poultry houses and
drinking utensils should be thoroughly
cleaned and disinfected. 1t is possible
to keep tuberculosis down by killing
all diseased fowls and disinfecting the
buildings, but it cannot be entirely
eliminated.
Roupe is not so serious and can be
controlled by thoroughly d~isinfecting
the premises and isolating diseased
fowls.
Scaley leg is controlled by dipping
legs of fowls in a solution of equal
parts of kerosene and llnseed oil.
Every farm flock of poultry in Brook.
ings county should be culled to elimi-
nate diseased and poor producing birds.
Little attention has been given to the
iocks because in spite of the high
per cent of boarder hens the focks
have been profitable. The profits re
turned from poultry can be almost
doubled with the same amount of
feed by replacing the poor hens with
good ones. 1t only takes one year
to get a start in poultry. Just say
eggs from the good hens and you have
made the start for greater poultry
profits. There is no added expense
and no decrease in profits the first
year.
The federal government has found
that two out Of every five hens are
culls. In B~rookings county there is
three out of every five so far. If at.
tention is not given at once that ratio
will lever be improved.

a number Of the enterprising citizens

which will be shipped to that city and

each one will be cut in two parts and

the COW whales will be turned out to
pasture in the waters of Kampeska
and used for a portion of the time to
give whaleback rides to visitors to the
lake. Every night and morning they
will be rounded up at an enclosure
near the country club house and milk

ST. PAUL LIVESTOCK MARKET

Prices Of lambs and veal calves
which usually follow each other more
or less closely have taken opposite
directions the past week or two. Two
weeks ago best light veal calves sold
at 81 90 and good native lambs at So. so
all week. Since then an acute scarcity
of veals has developed and prices have
gone skyward rapidly, best lights ad.
vancing as much at $500 to $3.50, clos
ing to packers at $1O.5O to 81 90, with
some to city butchers at SLIPS to
$11.5O. A run Of nearly 700, 900 sheep
and lambs at seven large markets the
past two weeks has nearly demoralized
the lamb market, good native lambs
selling the past week from $3.50 to
$500. Dressed prices on lambs at the
eastern markets closed $500 to 500
lower, he trade at Boston being espe.
cially weak, due in part to the arrival
of some 5000 Canadian dressed lambs.
Good ewes sold from $500 10 1925 ac-
cording to weight, with feeding ewes
at $50 to $500. Feeding lambs
brought $500 to $500.
General cattle receipts have been
light and all fed beef steers, grassers
selling above $3.50 and better grade
cows and heifers closed strong to Csc
or more higher. Other steers and
butcher she stock closed about steady.
Choice 7%S5-pound yearlings brought
$3.50, some good grassers $3.50 to 800,
with bulk of grass steers $500 to $500.
Good young COWS sold up around $500,
good heifers up to $500 or better, with
bulk Of cows and heifers at 1926 to

GOOD CORN

What can be done by good farming
methods is shown by a display of calico
corn just placed in the Dakota Trust
& Savings bank, Sioux Falls. The corn
a. raised by NJ. Clennon, who lives
at the edge of town on the Dell Rapids
road.
The field contained 80 acres, and
went about IS bushels to the acre.
Ten bushels of this is being saved
for seed.
Each Of the ears on display is nearly
perfect in form, of unusually large
size, and are excellent for display
uses. Not only the ears, but the ker-
nels are of good size, and run evenly.
Inasmuch as calico corn has not
been raised to any great extent in this
county, this goes to show that this
part Of the country is adaptable to
nearly all kinds of grain if they re-
ceive proper care and cultivation.
Mr.. Clennon is known as an expert
agriculturist and uses modern methods
in his work.

 More and more merchants realize the need and advantage in competF tion of better selected, better trained rank and file, but how few fully realize what most advertising men realize-the absolute necessity of better trained executives to man. age their stores? It may be rank heresy for me, a merchant, to ac- knowledge, but every advertising man and merchant knows that the volume of criticism which has been directed at retailers of late, first for profiteering and second for stalling the readjustment in prices, may be totally undeserved by all stores, but l is deserved in some measure by many l stores whose heads and buyers can not see the sun because of the dol l lar held too close to the eye.

 The case was instituted by the iron and steel plants in the east which applied for lower freight rates to the coast to meet water competition. The reduction did not include the intermountain states. which if the application is granted viii be forced to pay the rates now in effect.
