in definite programs, but they have
been the means of greatly increasing
interest on the part of bankers. At
the beginning there were number
of states that had no agricultural
committees. Others were inactive
We now have agricultural committees
for each state with the exception of
two, and these have promised to ap-
point committees soon.
Banker Influence
The attitude of the bankers Is not
that of attempting to tell the farmers
how to farm, but rather to aid in
bringing about conditions that will
help the farmer to help himself. The
farmer who produces, the agricultural
college that is attempting to improve
the quality of farm products, and the
banker who furnishes the capital are
endeavoring to put their heads to-
gether and perform team work. A
representative of one of the colleges
of agriculture recently made the state
ment that the bankers could do more

ton to influence the type of agricul-
ture practiced by the farmer patrons.
A county agent comes in contact with
only Is to 20 per cent Of the farmers
Of his county, while the bankers come
in contact with at least rs per cent.
In some localities farmers seem to
be prejudiced against bankers, due
largely to misunderstanding There
is no better way for relieving this
strained relationship than by getting
the banker and farmer pulling togeth-
er for their mutual interests and for
the community.
If agriculture is to develop it is nee
essary to maintain on the soil nea and
women who will put as much inteili-
genee into their business as is put into
other lines of business. 1t is hard to
change the attitude of mind of an old
farmer. The great hope is in devel-

women, who will be interested in i'm

Vigorous Gobbler Will
Care for Fifteen Hens

II good gobblers are scarce there is
no reason why two neighbors canno,
keep their turkey hens on the same
farm until such time as they have been
served by the gobbler. One service
from the gobbler is sufficient to fer
iilize all the eggs that will be laid a,
a succeeding egg-laying period. How.
ever, when the turkey hens quit lay.
Ing another service will be necessary
before the subsequent eggs of the sec.
ond laying period are fertile.
A vigorous gobbler will only serve
about fifteen hens.
1t would be somewhat less trouble
some to transfer the turkey tom rather
than the turkey hens. After one neigh.
Dor is positive that the gobbier has
covered all of the hens on his farm
the tom could be moved over to the
other nsighbor's farm.

Good Egg-Laying Mash

A good laying mash can be made of
100 pounds each OF ground oats, ground
corn, middlings, bran and meat scrap.
If you have plenty Of sour milk to
feed the hens, reduce the meat scrap
one-half. Equal parts of cracked corn
and wheat makes an ideal fall scratch
grain ration. You can obtain a very
practical bulletin on poultry feeding
by addressing the Michigan Agricul-
tural college experiment station, East

Bird Initiates Mole

A remarkable bird. In appearance
not unlike an ordinary farmyard deni-
zen. and known as Highland cock
has broken away from the bird ira
dition and instead Of building its nest
among the trees or caves. has launched
out on bold and original lines of its
own and has learned to make sub
terranean nest. The idea is exclusive.
So far ornitbological experts have
failed to discover Imitators. os-
triches have been observed flirting
with the Idea. but so far they have
only been able to get their heads be-

Early Matches Favored

A late Matched chick will never de-
velop as rapidly, economically, or
reach maturity in as short time as
earlier matches. Most Of the late
stock will always appear rather i'm
mature, never attain sufficient size,
and will not start laying early enough
to hit the market of high egg prices.
With late Matched birds proper feed
ing method will help but cannot work

Few PulletS Too Fat

In order TO properly produce, a
pullet should be in prime condition.
The fear of having hens too fat has
been drilled into all of us so long
that we are beginning to feel about
the same in regard to pullets. There
are more pulIets that are poor pro-
ducers because of improper condition
than there are those that are too fat
in the fall. Sometimes it seems that
one could be safe in stating that pull
let going into winter quarters cannot
be too fat.

BREEDING MALE is
OF BIG IMPORTANCE

With poultry, as with everything
else, like produces like. Poultrymen,
realizing the truth of this, are now
making the final selection of their
breeders for the coming spring, ever
bearing in mind that what they select
now will be multiplied in numbers
next year.
First of all, says r. e. Cray, assist
ant specialist in poultry husbandry of
the New York State Agricultural
college, remember that the male is
more than half the flock. The cheap
est male is the one with pedigree
record, stamina, and body conforma-
ton; the most expensive male is the
scrub which you usually get when ex-
changing with neighbor. Remember
that egg production must be bred in,
, in order to be fed out.
The good producer has body. type
of capacity measured by Its length,
depth, and width of body, lean face
free from wrinkles, and large, promi-
nent eye. The head should be well
balanced, broad and deep, with every
line denoting strength. The skin
should be soft and pliable and the
shanks smooth and fat Above all, the
breeder should show no signs of sick
ness, but it's personality should de-
note health, vigor and interested &C
tivity.
Only use those birds for breeders
which have completed at least one
years production and which were
culled vigorously during the period
Remember that you culled to eliminate
the poor producers so that you would
not breed from them, and then decide
how many poor birds you would pro-
duce If you were to breed from the
pullets which you now have.
The comparative number Of males
and females varies with the breeds, as

POOR BILLS ON WESTERN
SLOPE GET HARD SLAP

Western Slope county commission
ers are having difficulties with

ports from Telluride and Montrose, in
which towns commissioners recently

by the superintendent of the poor.
At Telluride the San Miguel county
board baked when their superintend-
ent of poor gave groceries to a wom-
an whose husband had just been con-
victed of bootlegging after pleading
guilty At Montrose the con0his-
sioners refused to allow bill made
by the superintendent of poor, who
furnished hay for the feeding OF
some milk cows who were the main
sustenance of poor family who did
not have any money to buy feed. The
Montrose county supt. of poor took
the precaution to procure a mortgage
on the cows for whom the hay was
furnished, but his colleagues said this
did not make any difference and, ac-
eording to the latest reports were re-
fusing to allow the hay bill.
