Docking of Lambs Great
Help at Time of Selling

Farmers who are engaged In the
sheep industry often forget to dock
and castrate their lambs. Live stock
commission men and packers are
staunch supporters Of castration and
docking of lambs for market purposes
and pay more for animals which have
received this attention.
"Castration of lambs is a simple op-
GRAFTON ard if performed at the proper
time the lamb does not mind 1t and
there Is little risk attached" says Prof.
Phil. A. Anderson, animal husbandry-
man at University farm at st. Paul,
MINI. "The operation should be done
when the lamb Is ten days to two
weeks old; older lambs can be un-
sexed but with more risk. Use any
good disinfectant, having hands and
knife clean. The lower one-third of
the scrotum is removed and the tes-
ticles forced out. The spermatic cord
should be drawn out with the fingers
and cut off with knife in a scraping
manner In order to prevent excessive
bleeding. After the operation is COM
pleted, apply a disinfectant. If blow
flies are abundant, apply a little clean
pine tar.
Lambs that have not been docked |
present poor appearance when mar
keted, but the main reason for dock
ing is that lambs on summer pasture
often scour. Such conditions invite the
blow-fy and maggots and often the
lamb Is lost"

LIVE STOCK
FACTS
Earning Power Of Pure
Bred Higher Than Scrub

Based on utility alone-apart from
breeding or sales value-pure bred live
stock has an earning power from q
third to one-half greater than scrub
stock. The average superiority Of pure
breds over scrubs for all classes of
farm animals is about 40 per cent.
or the principal points in which
pure breds excel other stock, the most
prominent are: Superiority and uni
formity in conformation and type.
greater sale value, early maturity, and
economy in the conversion of feed into
meat, milk, wool, and work.
Surplus pure breds are readily sal
able at satisfactory prices in the ma
jority of cases but much depends On
the breeding and production records
and the business ability Of the breeder.
With rare exceptions, pure bred sire
users are satisfied with the quality
of the offspring obtained, except that
the desire is created in many cases
to improve the quality still further.
The progeny of pure bred sires has
80 per cent greater sale
value than the progeny Of sires not
pure bred.
Pure bred sires of good quality are
readily obtainable in the experience of
of the breeders report
ing. The principal difficulties are:
Paying the price and finding the de-
sirable type, but there is practically
unanimous agreement that the results
Justify the cost
The average increase in financial
'eturns, from live stock raising, trace
lble to the use of pure bred sires is

He thought he would like TO take

to take the puppy with them.

Salem County Boys Win Prizes At
Rutgers Egg Show

Two Salem County boys, members
in the poultry work being carried on
under the supervision of Junior Elk
tension work, captured a third ribbon
in best dozen white eggs and tied for
fifth in best dozen brown eggs.
This is the first year that any Sa-
lem County boys have competed in
the Annual Egg Show, held at New
Jersey Agricultural College, at New
Brunswick, N. j. This show is under
the direction of the students special
izing in poultry husbandry at College
Farm.
Walter Becker, of Alloway, who
took the third prize in the best dozen
whites, has a flock of $50 white Leg
horns, which have been maintaining
the record set for the Standard Jersey
flock of $50 per year.
Gail Whitson, of Centreton, who
tied for fifth in brown egg class, has
a white Wyandotte flock Of heavy
layers, which last month averaged
176 eggs per bird for the month.
County Club Agent Gronwoldt has
been giving club members instructions
in selecting eggs which will prepare
the way for a larger and more uni
form exhibit from Salem County next
year.
