Plenty of Oyster Shell
Helpful to Egg Layers

Several flock owners have, at various
times, asked my opinion as to the
cause of soft-shelled eggs, says q
writer in the Successful Farming.
Hens may occasionally lay soft-shelled
egg even when supplied with r'enty
of oyster shells. Sometimes this Is
caused by an overfat condition or g
poorly balanced ration.
If any of your hens lay an occasional
soft-sheIled egg, make sure that they
are getting plenty of green food and
that they are made to exercise In the
straw litter. If this is done, and the
balanced ration and oyster shell do
not put stop to the soft-shelled eggs,
you may be sure that the trouble is
due to some abnormal condition that
prevents the fowls from manufac-
turing the lime as fast as it Is need
ed. When this is the case the only
cure seems to be to Gull out any hens
that are known to lay soft-shelled eggs
frequently.
Such eggs are not only frequent
loss, but the breaking and eating OF
them by the other fowls encourage
the habit of egg-eating.

Feed Chickens Skim Milk,
Either Sweet or Sour

Skim milk when fed to chickens can
be either sweet or sour andS has, APP
parently, little influence on the fowl.
They seem to relish the sweet about
as well as the sour and will consume
either in rather large quantities. One
has been constantly advised not to
change from one to the other, but
even this change, although not adj
vised, has little effect on the flock.
IL milk is the one form of animal
protein feed that is supplied it nust
be given in large quantities and be-
fore the flock constantly. In an effort
to stimulate greater consumption,
water is not given to them during the
winter. Flock owners state that fowls
will consume both milk and water II
both are offered. That is true and to
obtain the same amount Of animal pro-
TEN from the milk that they would re-
ceive from 20 per cent Of meat scrap
or tankage placed in the mash, only
the milk should be fed.

they can be kept in healthy, thrifty
condition during the winter months
they will do better on grass the fol-
lowing summer than If heavily grain
fed during the winter.
Where pasture is available there are
three practical methods of fattening
cattle on grass, namely, grass alone,
grass and additional feed throughout
the entire feeding period, and grass
with additional feed the last few
months Of the feeding period. The
grass season is usually from May to
November, inclusive, which is approx
imately 21O days. Two acres of good
pasture are usually allowed per ami
NAL. After September the average
pasture begins to decrease in value
very rapidly, and cattle should be mar
keted at this time or given additional
feed. Prevailing prices of corn and
concentrates, the type of pasture, and
the quality of cattle should largely
determine the supplement to pasture,
which, might be corn alone, corn with
protein supplement, or the protein sup
plement by itself. Where grass alone
is depended upon, from four to five
months of grazing will usually give
best results, because pastures are at
their best from June to October.

Favorable Results
in Spraying Tests
Reduction in Losses From
Leaf-Spot Disease.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Spraying strawberries for the con-,
troll Of leaf-spot diseases has frequent
ly been recommended, and few grow
ers in widely separated localities have
sprayed regularly for fruit rofs and
have reported an apparent reduction
in losses. The first systematic expert
ments, however, for the control Of fruit
rots by spraying were made by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture last year, and although the re-
suits Of this one seasons work must
be regarded as inconclusive, some IA
vorable results seem to be indicated.
Various sprays were used, and no
one seemed to show a marked supe-
riority over another, indicating that
no really satisfactory spray schedule
has yet been worked out. The inves-
tigators feel, however, that the results
justify the conclusion that spraying
with bordeaux mixture, and in some
cases busting, reduced the losses from
rot which developed after the fruit
was picked sufficiently to more than
justify the expense of the treatment.
Strawberries are grown in this coun-
try under great variety of conditions,
and spray schedules must necessarily
be varied accordingly. The result OF
the first seasons work seems, how
ever, to indicate that in the region Of
Beebe, Ark, where this work was done,
strawberry rots may be reduced by
spraying. 1t is accordingly planned to
extend these spraying tests.
