farmers don't care a cent about pro-
ducing more unless they secure an in
crease in their income proportional to
the increased work and size of their
crops"
In Macklin's opinion, the present in
come of the farmer reduced to pur-
chasing power is far below what their
efforts are entitled to. He believes
that the price of farm products is far
out of line with the price of other
products. The same dollar, he says,
that the farmer had In 1913 is only
worth 60 to 65 cents today.
"If farmers and the country are to

must be developed and improved. We

Farmer Can Make Money
bv Culling Farm Flock

Each year a nice little profit could
be made by the average farmer BY
giving his hens little study and Gull
ing out the poor layers, thus allowing
more room for the good layers, saving
on feed, labor, time and closer atten-
ton
The good poultryman will Gull his
flock the year round beginning at in
cubation, but for the farmer who
doesn't make poultry raising a bust
ness, and wants to make it a profit
able side line. one thorough culling
each year will increase the production
average of his flock. About the middle
of the mating period is the proper
time to give your flock good culling.
This will vary with different focks,
but usually comes in the middle Of
July, August, September, and the first
part of October. The characteristics
which distinguish the poor layer from
the good are most evident at this time.
The poor producer will not lay during
the fall and winter months. A care
full .culling at this time will reduce
the feed bill but not the egg pro
duction
Culling pullets is based on an esti-
mate of the future production of the
bird. Culling hens is based on her
past performances.
A careful culling Of your pullets
just before they start the laying sea-
son will improve the production OF
your flock The pullets that mature
early, showing best body development
and redness of comb, should be saved.
Pullets that are understood, lacking
vigor, deformed or Matched too late
for winter production should be culled.
Select pullets with prominent eyes,
broad back with the width well car
ried to the tail, broad head and
deep rectangular body.
To Gull flock right each bird must
be handled In order to save time and
enable one to go through large flock
of birds in a short while some means
for catching the hens should be ar
ranged A coop or crate open at one
end so the hens may be driven through
a small door in the hen house into the
coop is good method. If the coop
has an opening in the top so the birds
can be lifted out you can Gull the
whole flock with little disturbance and
quickly.
Noting is one important point to
consider. When a hen molts she has
finished her laying season. The early
molters, that is, the hen that molts
in July, August and September, is a
poor producer.-Phil H. Hayes, Exten-
sion Poultryman, Oklahoma A. and M.

Use Manure Economically
to Get Largest Returns

Best evidence indicates that manure
gives largest returns to the ton when
applied thin once in each short rota-
ton, or twice in rotation of more
than five years. Eight to ten tons to
the acre in a three or four-year rota-
ton, used with an average Of 200
pounds Of acid phosphate to the acre
each year, give excellent returns. A
manure spreader is said to be a time
and labor saver, particularly in making
light applications, and it tears up the
manure so it Is mixed more uniformly
with the soil.

to sell the eggs in the Twin Cities and
other nearby cities.
Successful cooperative marketing
of eggs can be accomplished in any
community" says Hayes. Chippewa
Falls is making a good start. Other
places will soon follow"
1.-THE egg business could easily be
combined with the marketing of other
dairy products. Creameries, for in
stance, furnish a good gathering place
from where they can be hauled to a
central storehouse. This plan is sue
cessfully made use of in Minnesota,
where considerable progress has been
made in egg marketing. In some
places of that state large central ware
houses are built"

Use Cars With Chickens.

The manufacturers directions
should be followed in running the in
cubator When hens are used for
Matching be careful to give them a
quiet place to set. Dust the hens with
insect powder at. least three times
while setting. Little chicks must be
handled carefully. Select a good
brooder If hens are not used. Plenty
of heat, fresh air, convenience, and
safety are Important factors to heed

Most Careful Attention
for Eggs During Summer

Eggs are easily secured in March,
April and May. 1t is during the three
months which follow that the flock re-
quires most careful attention. Twelve
years results at the Storr's egg-laying
contest showed that a normal well-fed
hen should lay within seven of as many
eggs in June, July and August as she
laid in March, April and May. The
average cost Of feed for hen is ap-
proximately 10 cents per month. This
feed bill naturally runs less in summer
months than in winter months. When
seven out Of ten eggs produced by the
average hen are produced from March
first to September first, can you afford
to overlook feeding for summer egg
production?

Consumption of Milk
Shows Big Increase
Nearly 1o3 Billion Pounds
Was Made Use of in 1922.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculturel
Did you consume 945 pounds of
whole milk in some form or other last
year? According to the United States
Department of Agriculture nearly lO3
billion pounds of whole milk was used
in 1922 in the production of butter,
cheese, ice cream, milk chocolate and
various other milk products, including
AZ billion pounds consumed as milk.
The quantity of whole milk used in
1921 was approximately 90 billion
pounds, which includes 45 billion
pounds consumed as. milk.
Consumption Of milk for household
purposes increased from 40 gallons
per capita in 1921 to so gallons in
1922, according to the departments
figures. Consumption by city folks
Increased two gallons per capita, but
lack Of any increased consumption in
rural communities pulled down the
average increase for the country as a
whole to one gallon.
A big increase In consumption of
milk chocolate is shown, 100 million
pounds of whole milk being used for
this purpose in 1922 as compared with
40 million pounds in 1921.
The number of milk cows on farms
January l, 1923, Is placed at "a, 429, 900
as compared with 24,0S2O0 cows on
farms January /, 1922. To the aver
age of these two figures is added
1,250,000 cows in towns, making a
total of 25,505,0O0 milk cows produc-
ing approximately 103 billion pounds
Of whole milk or an average produc-
ton of 4,209 pounds per COW. Aver
age production per COW in 1921 was
3,945 pounds.

silo Is Most Excellent
Substitute for Pasture

The silo is the best known substi-
tute for pasture, and where land is
valued at more than 500 per acre very
few acres should be devoted to pas
ture, for this same land put into good
corn and that put in the silo would
produce six to seven times more feed
than If 1t is left to pasture.

CHIPPEWA VALLEY
EGG ASSOCIATION
PouItrymen There Are Taking a
Step in the Right Direction,
Says Hayes.

Pioneer blood craving for progress
is still flowing in the veins of the
farmers and settlers of Chippewa
county. To them the idea of co-opera-
tive marketing embraces every COM
modify produced on the farm. With
their Disseminating program well
under way, the Chippewas have made
the problem of disposing of eggs and
poultry next in line.

To Produce Proftably
Hens Require Best Feed

Tt has been shown that it is impos-
sible to judge the value Of hen as a
layer unless she has been fed ra-
ton that would give her an oppor-
tunity to demonstrate her capacity.
Pullets that have not yielded profit
ably because of a ration lacking in
animal matter have become profit
able layers when the defect In the ra-
tinn was corrected.

Male Guineas Much Like
Females in Appearance

In all varieties of guineas the males
and females are very much alike in
appearance, save that the males have
a little heavier comb and wattles.
Their heads are a little coarser, and
when they are excited they walk on
tiptoe. The cry of the male is one
shrieking note, while the female has
two notes. "Buck-wheat, buck-wheat,"
she calls.

Corn Is Not Favored as
Milk-Producing Ration

Corn is more of fattening ration
than a milk-production ration, but
certain amount of corn in ration is
valuable. A considerable amount of
bundle corn can be fed to very good
advantage with clover or alfalfa hay.
Better results would be secured as a
rule for the corn to be husked out and
ground.

Important That Floors
in CooDs Are Kept Dry

If there are floors to the chicks
coops see that they are kept dry and
clean. Take them out occasionally,
scrape them and dust with dry earth,
ashes or sand. If the coops have no
bottom be sure they are moved often
enough to always have the ground
under them clean.

Give Attention to Hen
and She Will Work Hard

What the hen needs: Home grown

more light to eat by, clean water,
enough grit, daily wet or dry mash,
exercise and scratch mixture. Give
her a little more attention and she
will work harder for you.

In Shipping Live Birds
Uniformity Is Big Factor

When shipping live birds, sort them
as to size, age, color and sex, and
don't crowd the coops. The buyer will
always pay more for uniformity in
color and size, because these factors
appeal to his eye, just as good food
daintily served appeals to the palate.

Lewis application for the return
before the trial of the bones and hair
Of the mountain sheep seized by the
local forest officers was denied by the
court. 1t was contended by the de-
Tense that Lewis constitutional rights
had been violated by the officers who
made the search. An interesting fea-
ture of the trial was the expert testi-
mOny given by DR.. E. j. Crary, based
upon microscopic examination Of the
hair which was picked up by the Of
ficers on the edge of the fire where
the mountain sheep were cremated to
destroy the evidence of guilt.
The case is of special interest to
forest officers on account Of the fact
that the court upheld the claim of
the state that the hair and bones of
the burned mountain sheep was the
property of the State of Montana, and
that regardless of the search war
rant, it had the right to seize it's own
property wherever found outside of a
dwelling if such could be done peace
ably.
