FOWLS NEED OYSTER SHELLS
Failure to Provide Laying Hens With
Proper Materials !. Sure to
Cause Disaster,

Laying hens require oyster shells
and limestone grit at all times as
we'll as mash containing animal feed"
said Prof. ]. G. Halpin In an address
to the poultry school at the Ohio ex
pertinent station.
This statement was based on an
array Of valuable data cleaned from
years Of experimental work Mt the
Wisconsin experiment station. The
data showed conclusively that failure
to provide shells and grit for the lay
Ing hens is disastrous to profitable
egg production, though, contrary to
popular belief, this failure does not
appear to cause soft-shelled eggs.
In order to get pullets In the habit
of eating oyster shells and grit at an
early age, it is the practice of the ex-
pertinent station to keep these essen.
tials before the birds during the
brooder stage. When the pullets are
out on range quantity OF the shells
and grit are put on the ground near
the colony.

Profitable Things to Do
On Farm in September

rough, chaffy kernels indicate that the
seed did not ripen properly. Varieties
having long. deep kernels are not
adapted to North Dakota because OF
their long season Of growth. Good
seed corn should be bright looking, and
never have dull appearance.
Each ear should be tested for ger.
mination and the seed useu tnat shows
a perfect termination.
The Delaware modified rag doll
seed corn germinatOr is good device.
The material required to make doll
for testing 20 ears, follows: one piece
of cotton toweling IA inches wide and
4S inches long; one piece white OIL
cloth II inches wide and 81 inches
long. Unbleached muslin may be sub
stituted for the cotton toweling, and
heavy wrapping paper for the oilcloth.
Seed corn should be dried out as
soon as possible after picking because
the damage of freezing will be greatly
lessened ii the corn is dry. A square
mesh woven wire rack nailed on a
frame of two-by-fours makes durable
and inexpensive corn drying rack.
Seed corn stored in boxes or barrels
will gather moisture and freeze, re-
sulting in the destruction of the
germs of many kernels.
Many progressive corn farmers Sc
| lect so of the best ears Of the seed
early in the spring and plant them OH
one side of the cornfield and next fall
select their seed from these rows.
They find that homegrown seed corn
is much better than seed brought in
from other states.
| Pick six grains Of corn from various
parts of each ear on the rack and test
their terminating qualities. Any kind
Of tester may be used which supplies
the three essentials of termination
warmth, moisture, and air.
Ears showing strong termination
should be chosen for the planting
This work can be done in February
aud March before spring work begins
The Importance of testing is often
underestimated. Each ear of seed
should produce from two to four bush
els of corn or from 500 to 1000 pounds
of silage. So, if one ear in Is does
not grow there is a loss Of feed and
time required to prepare the land and
cultivate empty hills.
Hogs make efficient harvesters fol
corn and they do especially we'll wher
turned into fields of flint corn where
the ears are low and easily reached
II is hard to beat good bundle corn fol
all kinds of stock, but this crop can bt
fed more conveniently and economic
ally in the form of silage.

Desirable to Flock.

to cure colds and roup. Roup is the
sequel of colds, and when it gets into
a flock, as one poultryman puts it,
sou are Oh the rocks.
Plenty of fresh air in the house is a
well-recogniZed preventive Of colds In
humans, and it is just as efficaciOus
In the case of poultry. The open front
house with cloth curtains Is the most
practical means for the average flock
owner to keep the house thoroughly
aired, and the fowls will not suffer
from the cold if the building has been
properly planned; also the egg produc-
tion will keep up. BY going into the
house frequently in changing winter
weather it will be easy to Judge Of the
condition Of the atmosphere and bring
it to normal by adjustments Of cur
tains and windows. Moisture can be
kept from accumulatlng by opening up
the house for thorough ventilation
on sunny days.
The most successful houses, as found
by the experiences Of hundreds Of
poultry raisers and by experiments Of
the Department of Agriculture and
State experiment stations, are from
16 to 90 feet deep If the open-front
plan is followed. From this point the
nearer toward the front the fowls are
moved the fewer eggs are produced. In
smaller houses the relative proportion
of openings in the front Of the house
must be reduced during the winter
months in order to keep the fowls
comfortable. Open fronts or openings
covered with cotton cloth are most
practical in deep houses

not all the preparation that need be
made for raising the foundation for
the new flock. The health and thrift
of the fowls must be looked after
carefully during the winter. After
selecting the breeding birds tie poul-
try house needs close attention. Keep
ing it in sanitary condition is one Of
the important points; also the COM
fort of the house, which Is closely con.
nected with the health of the birds.
Fowls are very sensitive to moisture
conditions, and these should be con.
trolled carefully by ventilation. When
moisture from the fowls gathers on
the ceiling and walls there is apt to
be trouble soon In cold weather this
moisture may collect in the form OF
frost, but the heat from the sun In
the middle of the day will melt the
frost, and the water, dripping down
will make the litter wet. Hens are q
good deal like sheep in their sensitive
ness to wet feet, either in the house
or when outside, and they cannot be
kept in good health on damp litter
A sick hen is hard proposition to
deal with If you expect to get out with
profit on her. 1t is lot cheaper tc
depend on dry litter than on medicines

DATA FOR FIGHT ON STEM RUST

In France and Spain. where he WIS.,
tied the principal wheat growing re-
gions, he found no stem rust on wheat,
oats, barley or rye. Although there
were many barberries, few of them
showed any signs of this rust, but in
Spain plant pathologists informed him
that the common barberry and an in
digenous species are responsible for
the early appearance Of stem rust in
the spring.
Doctor Stakman reports great inter-
est in breeding and selection Of wheat
varieties resistant to this disease and
emphasizes particularly the work of
several eminent French Investigators.
While travelling through France.
Spain and Italy he found little stem
rust, but this little was always ssso-
cinted with barberry bushes. The con.
sensus of opinion in these countries is
that. although stem rust does occur re-
mote from the barberry, 1t develops
later In the crop season and causes
very much less damage than in those
sections where the shrub Is common

were found to be the offspring of these
late-moulting hens. Their pullets in
period of seven months have already
averaged about two dozen eggs per
bird more than the original flock.
But it Is not alone in number Of
eggs that the late-moulter's progeny
excel, but also in the value of the
product, as the distribution was more
even, much larger proportion of the
eggs being laid during the winter
months. In the last seven months the
daughters Of the late moulters not
only averaged two dozen eggs per blrdu
more than the original flock, but the.
value of their product was, figuring at
the same prices, about $1.04 per bird,
more during the same period 1t Is ex
pected that this margin will increas.

The imprOvitlent man who sold his

slshtedness from the poultry raiser
who waits until spring to select the
breeding stock that is to be used to

work of picking out the superior birds
must be done in the fall to get the
best results. says the United States

ones shows up. OF course the culling
out of the poor layers should go on
all through the summer and fall. but
at last the top-notchers should be
selected as foundation for the coming
flock, which ought to be better each
year.
Never Use Immature puIiets.
One good rule to follow is to keep
tie pullets out of the breeding flock
until they are fully matured. An i'm
mature bird may be good layer and
may be from the best stock, but still
1t is undesirable. Eggs from pullets
not yet fully developed will not pro

Time Now To
Pick Seed Corn

"rhe first two weeks in September
may we'll be set aside for the picking
of seed corn. Husls should be re-
moved as soon as it is picked, and the
corn hung up or placed in dry, airy
place" says DR.. Walster, agronomist
at the North Dakota experiment
station.
Even when seed corn is apparently
we'll dented or glazed when picked it
frequently contains 40 to so per cent
of moisture. 1t ought to be so rapidly
cured that it will lose from one-half
to twO-thirds Of this moisture before
freezing weather comes on.
''Artificial heat is not necessary,
provided sufficient protection is given,
but artificial heat may be used to COM
plete the process of drying. It
provides final insurance that the germ

stored up in well-dried kernels on a
