Taking Tail From Lambs
Not Difficult Operation

The time to take the tail, from the
lamb is in its second week of life. The
operation is not difficult and docking
the lambs simply o something
unnecessary to the lamb. Two men
and a sharp knife or a docking iron
are all that is necessary. Let one man
hold the lamb, while the other To-
Gates the joint in the tail by feeling
on the inside. Push back the loose
skin so that a flap will grow oyer The
stub and cut the tail off at a joint
about one and one-half inches from
the body. The cut is simply made
with a sharp knife, in which case a
stout cord tightly tied about the stump
close to the body will stop unneces-
sary bleeding. This cord should he
removed in eight or ten hours so that
there will be- no sloughing.
A much better way of docking the
lamb is the use of hot docking irons,
soaring the tail off with an iron heat
ed to a cherry red. This c~auterizes
the wound and prevents bleeding.

Chicken Flock Need Not
Be a Nuisance in Towns

NeighbOrs frequently object to the
keeping of poultry in towns and cities,
most complaints being against the
vocifcrous rooster and d~isagreeable
odOrs. In some cities and towns there
are regulations TO prevent or control
poultry keeping, but the United States
Department of Agriculture says that
the flock need not be a nuisance.
There will be M annoyance from odors
If the dropping boards are cleaned
daily and the yards are kept reason
ably clean. There is no necessity for
keeping a rooster unless the owner in
tends to hatch chicks, apd in that case
the rooster should be disposed of as
soon as the hens have been set. A
flock without a male will produce just
as many eggs and, what is more, the
& G will be infertile and will keep
better.

These records serve to show that
fully one-fourth to one-third Of the
feed and other expense in keeping
giving the sow proper feed and care
during CESSATION or proper narrowing
quarters, the department points out.
BY far the major share of losses in
pigs is due 70 improper handling and
feeding and not to disease.
Sows running on pastures while
sucking pigs saved the largest filters.
S0ws that were fed the following
quantities of feed, per one hundred
pounds liveweight monthly, during the
CESSATION period, narrowed the largest
filters: 40 pounds of corn. 10 pounds

every 1000 pigs narrowed died before
the date of weaving. The important
:auses Of losses in the spring of 1921,
as in 1922, were pigs laid on by the
mother sow. and those born dead or so
weak they could not get up to suckle.
The 1921 pigs. however, were bothered
more with necrOtic enteritis than were
those In the spring Of 1922.
The study indicates that barring
fluctuations in prices Of feeds and the
occurrence of disease, the number of
thrifty pigs produced per SOW more
than any other factor influences the
cost of producing pork. All the care
in feeding possible after weaving the
pigs a very seldom overcome the
production cost due to small filters,
the department says The figures show
that the majority Of sows last winter
had "a carrying charge Of $15 to $25
per head, which covered the cost of
carrying them while producing q lit
ter Of pigs; with a large share of the
sows this meant carrying charges for
twelve months.

Free Choice System of

A study of the free choice system of
mash feeding for chickens made by
the United States Department of Ag-

Gated al B~eltsville, Md, showed that
the best results and highest egg pro-
ductioh are obtained when hens are
allowed TO select their own mash con.

with Leghorns, and a less stimulating
mash, containing more bran and
ground oats, with less meat scrap, has
given better results with general.pur
