Eighteen Hundred Chicks This Year

Weayers earn excellent pay, 1t Is re-
ported, in the wooden mills OF Maine
i,T this year of our Lord, 1928.
But. Mrs. Emily A. Gilmore of Fair
field, weaver, Is still wondering wne-
Their she can prove that poultry-rais-
ing pays better.
Not that this Maine hustler OF fem
mime persuasion has any notion that
she would yield the one occupation
for the other. BY no means. For
she is equal to both.
If you don't believe 1t, you should
visit the Gilmore home inthe outskirts
of the village, where this woman is
taking a little recreation, after mill
hours, raising Rhode Island Reds and
White Wyandottes. Not a family al
lotment of half hundred or so; but
1900 chicks this season.
Here Is farmers nearly full-time
Job, taken on by a mill-worker who
likes hens and knows little some
thing about them, as well as about the
business end of poulry-raising, even
to marketing them at the most profit
"Oh, yes" you may remark. But
she probably has some men folks who
carry the brunt of the burden"
But you're way off.
For Mrs. Gilmore states that she
has done all this work alone from
the time the incubators were started
early last spring, up to about the first
of August, when her brother came into
the family and took on some of the
feeding. Up to that time, not spoon
full of grain had been given these
chicks by any other hand than hers.
PROUD OF WYANDOTTE STRAIN
Mrs. Gilmore is proud OF her Wyan-
dottes, for half OF her flock is of the
Martin strain and she would have
had them all of this breed had not
the cost been prohibitive. For her
cock cost $1S and the hens in proper
ton. These Wyandotes, says she,
develop into broilers quickly, rather
faster, in fact, than other breeds; and
that is why she likes them best, in
view of the plan on which she con-
ducts her business. But about half
of her flock are Rhode Island Reds
with a scattering OF Leghorns.

Solids
Sample Score

The u. S. d. A. score card was used.
Very little sediment was found and In
only two cases were deductions made
for butterfat and one case for solids
not fat.
Id will be noted that the placings
varies, as a rule. with the bacteria
count and acidity. This would in
dictate that quick cooling and the use
of sterile containers is an important
factor in the production of best milk.
In few instances, however, sam
pies having a lower bacteria count
did not score as high. This was due
to deductions made for a foreign fa-
yor or for bottle and cap which
showed imperfections or were not of
the best style. Milk being sensitive
to odors and fiavors makes these fac
tors important in the production OF
best milk.
Or the whole the samples were OF
exceptionally high quality.

Farm Bureau and Extension Service
News

The community committee meetings
have been held in all five districts OF
the county. Most of the communities
have started on their drive and are
we'll under way. All men or women
who were not members last year,
but would like to get back into the
scope of Extension work should send
their names to the Farm Bureau office,
Skowhegan, or get in touch with soli-
citors, community chairmen, or dis
trict managers, in the vicinity which
they are classified in, as given below.
Emphasis has been placed on the
fact that If the solicitors only take
time to do the work allotted to them
now, that 1t can be gotten out of the
way easier than by putting 1t OFF day
after day. In order that people may
realize somewhat how their dollar for
membership is distributed, the follow
ing data is given as taken from the
Cumberland County News. Somer-
set will not vary from this to any
great extent. So when the argument
is presented that they are not getting
dollars worth of value from the
Farm Bureau, just remember that the
dollar is only given to help maintain
the organization which makes Extern
sion work possible, and that the aid
you receive Is free as far as you are
concerned, the State. Government, and
County giving the funds which make
Extension work possible.

A meeting was held in Mercer the
evening of October II, to form a Farm
Bureau in that community. There
is no reason why Mercer should not
be one of the strong communities for
Extension work. Twelve were pres
ent and much interest was shown. A
temporary womens committee has
been formed and membership. cards
were given out. Miss Hare, home
demonstration agent. was present
while County Agent Dunn explained
briefly the aims OF Agricultural Ex-
tension work.
A list of communities and their last
years membership is here given with
the express purpose of making com
munity people see where they stand
with communities of similar size.
There would be a poor community
indeed who would want the member
ship to fall below last years. 1t
will not, If every active member re-
news, and every old member would
make an attempt to get one new one.
1t would be surprising how easily it
could be done in many cases.
