Balanced Ration
Needed for Eggs
Profitable Returns From
Laying Hens Are Largely
Due to Good Feed.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Good egg production and profitable
returns from laying hens are largely
the result of properly balanced ra-
tions composed Of wholesome feeds.
Experiments in poultry feeding for egg
production carried on by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that it takes about 81 pounds of
feed to produce a dozen eggs with
general-purpose pullets while the egg
laying strains, such as Leghorns, re-
quire about 4.S pounds of feed. Old
hens require much larger amount
of feed in producing dozen eggs.
Results From Simple Mixture.
Simple mixtures composed of home
grown grains and their by-products,
supplemented with meat or fish scrap
or milk, give the most profitable re-
suits. A good scratch mixture is one
made of two parts. cracked corn and
one part oats, while a mash Of three
parts cornmeal and one part meat
scrap will be found very satisfactory.
A fair amount of green feed with
these rations should give good results
with the flock, since the mash and
scratch mixtures suggested combine
the animal-protein feed, bulk, and fat
required by good balanced poultry
ration.
2 The rations may be varied to in
clude feeds that are easily obtained
and that are comparatively inexpen-
sive. Corn, wheat, oats and barley
are the principal grains fed to poultry.
Kafir corn and buckwheat are used
also, but are not SO generally avail
able and cost more. Corn and wheat
are the two best grains and are about
equal in value as poultry feeds, al
though wheat can be fed alone better
than corn, which is inclined to be fat
tening. Oats and barley, on account
of their hulls and higher fiber content,
are not so good as wheat or corn. Rye
is not well relished by fowls and is
seldom fed. Wheat screenings or
slightly damaged grains may some
times be bought to advantage, their
value depending entirely upon their
quality and condition, but as a rule it
is good policy to. stick to sound
grains in { Cd condition. :
Mash Made of Ground Grains.
A mash made of ground grains, mill
products, and meat scrap may use
cornmeal, wheat bran, wheat mid
dlings, or corn chop, corn-and-cob
meal, or ground oats, depending upon
the feeds available and the relative
cost of each. 1t is worth remember
ing, however, that just as good results
can be obtained with a simple mash
containing three or four ground grains
and meat scrap as from highly COM
plicated mash containing ten or twelve
products.

Minor Ailments
Are Overlooked
Numerous Ills of Swine Go
Unnoticed or Diagnosed
as Cholera.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
While hog cholera is still the most
serious of swine diseases with which
the farmer has to contend, his atten-
ton is called by the United States De
partment of Agriculture to the numer-
GUS other ailments of swine which, in
time of unusual prevalence of cholera,
go unnoticed or possibly are diagnosed
as cholera itself. The group includes
anthrax, epilepsy, gastroenteritis,
necrobacillosis, pleurisy, pneumonia,
poisoning, swine plague (hemorrhagic
septicemia), tuberculosis, and worms.
Diseases Not Recognized.
Other diseases not similar in appear
ance to hog cholera are either not rec
ognized or not deemed of sufficient i'm
portance to require attention. Any de-
Walton from normal in the functions
of an animal, such as gait appetite, or
digestion, deserves the closest watch
ing in order that measures may be
taken to prevent serious results and
possible losses. While some minor
ailments of swine might be treated
successfully by the owners, it is al
ways well, in case Of doubt, to call for
experienced service.
The owner of hogs is interested in
having his herd free from disease. The
healthier the animals the quicker they
will finish for market. In large
number of cases sickness and I'M
thriftiness are due, directly or indi-
rectly, to improper care in housing,
feeding, and at narrowing time. Even
under the best conditions hogs are
liable to sicken, and in all circum-
stances of that character there is need
of correct diagnosis in order that eff
fective treatment may be given. Many
factors are to be considered in dis
tinguishing between hog cholera and
the various other ailments and con-
ditions that resemble that disease.
Less Loss From Cholera.
Although losses from hog cholera
have been reduced over 60 per cent
from the peak years of destruction,
the lack Of attention on the part of
farmers in the proper care of swine
herds still occasions serious none
tary loss each year to the swine in
dustry as whole. In all diseases,
ailments and abnormal conditions Of
swine, the sane, simple and effective
method to adopt is one of prevention.

Destroy Red Cedars and
Save Valuable Orchards

Apple rust cannot live without red
cedar trees. The moral then is to cut
out all red cedars within a mile of
valuable orchards. The Wealthy and
many of the crab apples are particu-
larly susceptible to rust.
The disease is caused by a fungus
which lives on red ceGars and apple
trees. In winter the fungus abides on
the cedars while waiting to spread mil
lions of spores in the spring to the ap-
pie leaves and fruit. Under the attack
the upper surface Of the leaves reveals
small, sticky, honey-colored spores.
Later, orange-colored spots, sometimes
surrounded by red margin, are pro-
duced on the lower surface Trees bad
ly infected become partly defoliated
and have rusty appearance. The
fruit is dwarfed and misshapen. Buds
which form this year are weakened
and will make only poor crop next
year.

COOPERATIVE Marketing
of Eggs Is Profitable

The farm poultry flock has been
made a source Of cash income as well
as for food for the family by many
farm women who have learned from
their agricultural extension agents the
best methods of poultry management
and preparation of products for mar
ket. The experience of the women of
Fairhaven (Ga) community, is typical
of the work in many states. These
farm women, desiring to improve the
earnings of their focks, brought eggs
to the weekly meeting of the extern
sion club, where the home-demonstra-
lion agent showed them how to grade
and pack properly for shipment. This
was continued each week until the
members were able to do the work
themselves. They then organized to
ship their eggs comparatively, secured
as customer a grocery store in near
by city, and, according to reports to
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, have been carrying on sat-
isfactory business for more than
year.
New cooperative egg marketing as
sociations organized in 1922, according
to reports, handled 100000 dozen eggs;
in 1921 some 400 new organizations
handled about 100000 dozen eggs.

Insects Attack Apples
While Held in Storage

With more attention being paid to
the grading of apples, anything which
contributes to the deterioration of the
fruit after packing or in storage will
be of considerable interest to fruit
growers. Observations made at
Geneva and elsewhere show that late
summer insects sometimes escape the
notice of the packer and are put in
storage, where later they may develop
and do much damage to the fruit.
The larvae, or worm form of leaf
rollers, bud moth and case bearers
have been found feeding on apples
piled in the orchard, while codling-
moth larvae, the lesser apple worm,
San Jose scale and apple maggots are
known to have continued their feeding
and development in supposedly sound
fruit which had been placed in stor-
age. Fortunately the codling moth
and apple maggot confne their efforts
to single infested fruit, but the apple
worm and San Jose scale may pass
from apple to apple.
If the fruit can be placed in cold
storage and held at just above freez-
ing point until ready for use, little if
any injury will result from insects in
advertently carried over with the APP
pies. Although the larvae may not be
killed, the low temperature will effec-
lively check their growth. However,
infested apples never keep quite so
well in storage as do sound apples.

Fowls Appreciate Good
Feed of Grain at NIGHT

A hen consumes approximately four
ounces of food day, and poultry au-
thorities at Minnesota University farm
find she will eat two ounces Of this in
the form of dry mash when it is avail
able. These ground grains are quickly
digested, and the fowl is saved the
trouble of grinding all the feed in her
crop. Thus by feeding dry mash pro-
duction can be forced.
The other two ounces Of feed, says
the poultrymen, should be in the form
of whole or cracked grains, fed twice
a day in a deep, clean litter, giving
little less than an ounce in the morn
ing and a listle more than an ounce at
night. The hens crop is small and the
winter nights are long, consequently
the heavier Feeding should be given at
night. Care should be taken always
that the fowls go on the roosts with
full crops.

Feed Fowls More Roots
and Vegetables for Eggs

BY feeding more roots and vege-
tables, the average poultry raiser can
reduce his feeding expenses materially
and also get more eggs. The cheapest
food is that which will make hens lay,
and the way to make hens lay is to
keep them in good health. It is i'm
possible to have a flock in good laying
condition when only grain is given.
Such foods as carrots, turnips and
potatoes are not rich in reproducing
elements, but they perform a service
which renders all the other foods
eaten more valuable. Let the farmer
give his COWS nothing but corn and his
supply of milk would soon be reduced.
1t is the same with hens and the egg
yield. From dietary standpoint the
use of roots is recommended, and they
will enable one to feed more hens and
get more eggs with little or no addi-
tional cost.

Much Butter Being Made
on a Household Scale

Farmers and their wives residing Oh
the approximately 100000 farms,
where at least one cow is kept on
each, continue the practice Of making
butter on a household scale, despite
the growth of modern creameries to
the extent of 1886 in number in 1922.
For the purpose Of making butter on
the farms, 13, 125,o00,OOO pounds Of
whole milk were utilized last year and
625,OO0,O0O pounds of this product was
manufactured. Thus nearly 40 per
cent of the total butter production Of
the United States is made on approx
mately one-half Of the farms of the
country.

High Record Held by
Arts Piebe de Kol
Production of Wisconsin
Cow Has Been Profitable.

An average yearly production for Is
consecutive years of 1880 pounds of
milk and 1927 pounds of butter, or
total of $50 tons Of milk and almost
four tons of butter, is record held by
a pure bred Holstein COW, Arts Piebe
de Kol, owned by the Wisconsin Col
lege of Agriculture. This production
of milk is sufficient to supply one
quart of milk to every family for one
day in the city of Washington, D. c..
or Milwaukee, Wis.
The production of this COW has also
proved a profitable one. During her
10 years of milking she has returned
a profit of $2.45 for every dollars
worth of feed consumed. Her net re-
turn during her lifetime thus far Is
$2,223.76 over cost of feed in addition
to the value of her offspring.

Arrangement for Hog
Feeding Quite Handy
Originated and Used at ILL
nois Experiment Station.

A handy arrangement for feeding
hogs originated and used at the Iii
nois agricultural experiment station
farm is shown herewith. 1t consists
of a concrete feeding floor IL feet wide
and ii feet long and two concrete
troughs each II feet long made sep
arate from the floor. At the outside
corners of the troughs fsur posts are
set in the concrete floor. To these
are spiked by 8-inch pieces
which support panels which can
be swung over the troughs. This
feature enables the herdsman to keep
the hogs away from the trough while
it is being filed. A strap iron fixture
holds the panel in the position de-
sired.
One of the easiest Improvements for
the hog raiser to build Is concrete
feeding floor; and 1t will bring him
quicker and larger returns for the
money invested than any other part of
his hog raising equipment. Loss Of
valuable feed is prevented when hogs
are fed on a concrete floor.
Considerable time and labor will be
saved if the feeding floor Is located
near the corncrib or granary. 1t is
desirable to place the feeding floor on
the south or east side of the corncrib
or Loghouse, as it will then be largely
protected from cold winds. The loca-
ton selected should be well drained.
Where the ground is firm and well
drained, concrete may be laid directly

upon the soil after all grass, roots and
other perishable matter have been re-
moved and the area brought to proper
level and firmly compacted.
Concrete feeding floors should be
made not less than four inches thick.
What is known as one-course construc-
ton, which means the same mixture
of concrete throughout, should be used.
The mixture should be 1928, which
means one sack of portland cement to
two cubic feet Of clean, well-graded
sand, to three cubic feet Of clean peb-
bles or broken stone not to exceed IN
inches in diameter. Two-inch lumber
should be set up for forms and firmly
staked to line and grade.
The floor should be sloped in at
least one direction so 1t will drain
quickly after rains Sunshine and rain
will help keep the surface clean. A
slope of one-quarter inch to the foot
will be enough.

Cut Soy Beans for Hay
Just Before Seed Forms

1t is generally considered that while
soy. beans may be cut for hay at al
most any stage, the best time is just
az soon as the pods are fully formed,
but before the seed is formed. At this
time the maximum feed value will be
secured and the hay Is also more pal
atable than when cut later. Later
harvesting gives somewhat greater
blk, but less of digestible protein and
somewhat lower palatability, thus rem
dert1g that method less satisfactory,
according to years of experimenting by
the Ohio experiment station.
