Two boys in Pierce County have
decided to attend the Short Course
in Madison this winter Would like
to see several more boys attend that
course. Up to the present time,
Pierce County has 43 boys who have
graduated from the Short Course held
at Madison. The Short Course opens
this year on Nov. ~ and Nov. ID.
| Changes have been made in the
course to accommodate the boys who
can not put in the full Is weeks.
New courses will be started every
five weeks, and it will be possible to
enroll for one of these 5 week periods.
If any other boys are interested in
the above course let me know and you
will be sent literature.
This is the last call for the two
big sales to be held by the Pierce
County Guernsey and Holstein Breed
ers Associations. The Holstein sale
will be held on Oct. II. Thirty
grade cows and heifers, 5 purebred
females and 5 purebred males will be
sold at that time. On Oct. Is the
Guernsey Sale will be held. Thirty
grade cows and heifers, 5 purebred
females and 5 purebred males will
also be sold. Anybody looking for a
good purebred sire will certainly
find one at this sale. If you want to
buy some good grade cows, heifers
or calves attend these sales. The
cattle will be tested for tuberculosis.
Many of them have Cow Testing As
SOcldllOn heCOTuS.
The Poultry Culling Demonstra-
tions held last week wero very well
attended. Eleven demonstrations
were held in different parts of the
county The average attendance
was 49, We found some very good
fiocks. Some fiocks were found badly
infected with tuberculosis. Some of
the birds were killed in these flocks
and tuberculin LESSONS were found on
the livers and other internal organs.
A number of poultry men have not
been making use of carbolinium on
the roosts for killing mites. The
roosts should be painted now with
this wood preservative and no further
trouble will be had with mites for at
least year. A number were found
who have not used the Sodium Fluo-
ride for lice. 1t is too late to dip
fowls now on account of the cold
weather, but the dust method could
be used.
