RECORB ESTABLISHED.
at POULTRY SALE

EATONTON, May What is
believed to be high record for
the sale of chickens in Putnam
county was established here when J
A. Stubs and B. G. Strange sold
100 Black Giant baby chickens for
800 The chicks were sold to a
Macon chicken fancier. The chicks
were ten days old at the rime of the
slae, and this prce is said to be the
highest ever paid locally.
There are a large number OF
people in the county who have gone
into the poultry business IN earnest
They have seen what splendid re-
suits can be obtained from raising
pure bred poultry and they have
discarded mere chickens for pure
bred chickens.

would be a glorious help and adj

Y Cow testing records increase the
sale value of dairy cows and their Off
spring. Leading auctioneers in this
state report that good COW testing
association record on grade COW will
sell her for from SIS to $35 more than
she would bring without the record,
says Don g. Magruder, extension
dairy specialist at the State College.
While the chief benefit of records to
the member is the basis which they
give for improving his breeding and
feeding methods, nevertheless rec
ord on good COW is worth for sale
value alone much more than it costs.
The, value of the record depends
upon the kind which is kept. There
are four classes of records commonly
in use-private records, COW testing
circle records, cow testing association
records and official records. They
vary in accuracy and in the methods
of procedure in making the records.
Private records assist in the sale Of
dairy cows, but their value is depend
ent upon the ability of the dairyman
to keep accurate records. One we'll

work in creamery which enables him
to be thorough in compiling private
records.
Cow testing circle records are usu.
ally more accurate than private rec.
ords. Under this system the dairy.
man weighs the feed and milk and
takes the samples. Testing and rec
ord keeping is done by an experienced
tester. One leading dairyman in the
state uses these records quite salts
factorily in selling surplus COWS.
Weighing the milk and feed and
taking samples takes little time II
good arrangements are made. Test
ing and record keeping is better done
by one experienced in and doing this
is especially adapted to small dairy
herds.
Cow testing association records are
probably more accurate than either of
the above methods, as everything con.
nected with the record is usually
done by an experienced man. An at.
tempt is made to recommend for test
ers only those who can and will do &C.
curate work.
Dairymen with large herds usually
prefer association to circle testing
work. When they hire mixers 1t is
difficult to get them to be accurate in
weighing the milk and taking the
samples from each individual COW, as
cow testing work requires.
A tester may make a mistake in
testing or figuring occasionally, but q
careful check shows that the average
COW testing association record lie
within per cent of accurate as com.
pared to official records.
In official testing added precautions
are taken to have the records abso
lutely correct. 1t Is required that only
one COW be MIXED at time; testers
are changed; and new testers are sent
in unexpectedly. Every precaution is
taken to prevent dishonesty.
1t is assumed In making COW testing
association records that the member
is using his records primarily to i'm.
prove breeding and feeding methods
so no attempt Is made to prevent dis
honesty on the part OF the member. A
COW testing association record, though
not as valuable as an official record
Is a decided asset in selling dairy
COWS.

PREPARE THE WATER SUPPLY FOR WINTER

pipings. Personal care and watchful-
ness is the only remedy for this condi-
ton. 1t is we'll to go out and see that
everything is all right before the wat
er stops running.
The worse obstruction to water
supplies over most of the state Is
freezing during the winter. To have
the pipes, hydrants or pumps freeze
often leaves one without water at the
very time when it is most inconven-
lent to procure supply from any
other source. To have to carry water
for livestock through snow in zero
weather is real trial, besides hav-
ing the expense of repairing and thaw.
ng out frozen pipes.
The best time to provide against
freezing pipes and pumps is when
the plant Is being installed. In put
ting the pipes into the house it is a
good plan to place them along an in
ner wall, somewhere near the chin.
ney. If all Of the main pipes run up
beside the main chimney, the chimney
heat acts as a protection. The dis.
tributaries from this main line are
kept from freezing by the heat in the
pipes near the chimney, providing
they are not too long.
Tanks elevated on a tower are now
being replaced by pneumatic tanks
which can be placed in the basement
or some shed where they can be pro-
tected. If an elevated tank must be
installed, box about one foot square
should be built around the pipes and
packed with dry sawdust. Unless the
pipes leak and wet the sawdust, this
will protect them very we'll.
Keep all the outside pipes at least
two feet under ground. Cover all
pipes running under the house with
asbestos or fibre covering. If after
all precautions are taken, small
stream about the size Of lead pencil
Is allowed to run in the bathtub or
washbowl during the night on espe-
cially cold nights there is little danger
of freezing. This keeps the water
moving during the night.
1t is a safe plan, however, to open
the faucet in the morning to see If the
water is running before fire Is built
in the range. This may save an ex-
plosion in the water front of the
range.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1924-12-05

A good water supply is almost in
dispensable, and its loss, even temper
arily, is keenly felt. Every precau-
ton should be taken now to keep the
farm water supply both adequate and
wholesome during the winter months.
Freedom from the possibility of or
ganic contamination, from obstruc-
lions of either the source or the pipe
system, and from freezing are essen
tial IL the system is to be of use dur
ing the cold weather, when it is most
needed. These conditions are hard to
remedy in the winter, so adequate pro-
lection of the system should be looked
after before freezing weather is here,
warns A. B. Crane, extension agricul-
tural engineer of the State College of
Washington.
Organic contamination must be
guarded against more carefully in win
ter than in summer. In the warm
days of summer, impurities in the
water make their presence known by
their suggestive odor In the frosty,
snappy days of late fall and winter
this odor is not noticeable, and people
rest in a false feeling of safety.
These organic impurities, lying
quiescent in the water, are vivified
when brought into the warm atmos-
phere of the house, and they then
seek breeding places. The mineral
impurities are inevitable in the water
supply, but they usually are not harm
full. But the organic impurities breed
diseases of various kinds and are in
furious to the health.
Protection from contamination
should be looked to just as fully dur
ing the winter as in the summer. If
there is any doubt about sanitary con-
ditions, the water should be boiled,
filtered, treated with some chemical
method or abandoned altogether as a
source of supply. This is better than
endangering the health or possibly
the life Of any member of the family.
The chloride Of lime solution is
easy to make, easy to apply and rem
ders any doubtful source Of water rea-
sonably safe. eIf,is much safer, how
ever, to find and remove the cause Of
contamination.
Homemade water supplies, as a
spring, stream, hydraulic ram or even
a pump, should be guarded against
obstruction of either the source or the
