Brisbane, Australia-(R)-A do
nestle science school on wheels is
one of the recent innovations of the
Queensland government designed to
reach people living in the "back-
woods" areas. Three special railroad
coaches, in which the domestic
science classes are taught, have al
ready been equipped and started on
the road in charge of capable teach
ers. Others are now being construct
ed. The travelling school will remain
from five to ten weeks in each CEN
ter, according to the population and
the interest the local girls show in
the adventure.
Cooking. laundry work, needlecraft
and housekeeping are taught in these
schools. Fifteen girls may easily be
taught in each class. In the "cow''

Limberneck Is Result
of Ptomaine Poisoning

Limberneck or blind staggers, as it
is sometimes known in some localities,
may be the result of ptomaine poi
soning caused by eating some rancid
food which, in the case of poultry, gen.
orally means decayed meat. 1t may,
however, mean moldy grains. Some
times it comes about merely by acute
Indigestion caused by clogging the sys-
TEN in some way, possibly by feeding
too much fiber such as is found in the
bulls of oats, barley, etc., or allowing
them to eat Died, tough grass.
The thing to do is to starve the birds
for a day or SO to get the crops empty
and then give each one teaspoonful
or two of olive oil and empty the crop.
Give the fowl in the meantime access
to nothing but sand or grit and water.
Then feed some easily digestible, high
ly nutritious feed, such as bits of raw
meat that have been slightly broiled;
or, if the fowl can handle it. stale,
dried bread soaked in sweet milk.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
With 592 live stock owners officially
enrolled with the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture as pure-bred-
sire users, Pulaski county, Va, is the
premier county Of the United States
in the extensive use of pure-bred males
in livestock breeding operations, so
far as the departments records show.
A recent report Of the bureau Of an
imal industry Of the department notes
that Pulaski county contains S43 farms
reporting live stock, according to the
last census, making pure-bred-sire
users about 20 per cent Of the total.
The figure applies to live stock own
erS who use such sires for all classes
of live stock raised, including cattle,
horses, swine, sheep, and poultry. The
census reports go Enclosures, not
farms, which would lower the percent
age considerably, but would still per-
nit the county to hold its premier po-
sition with respect to the wide use of
pure-bred sires.

The figures given have added signi-
ficance when considered in the light
of reports which the department re-
ceiyes frequently on the benefits de-
rived from the breeding of improved
stock. From financial point of view
the widespread use of pure-bred sires
may be expected to bring fully $780,
600 additional returns to the farm
ers of good live stock county. This
estimate is based on calculations from
county agent sources and is believed
to be conservative. The bureau of an
imal industry has consistently urged
the use Of good pure-bred sires as a
sound and practical method of live
stock improvement. Responses from
stock owners who have adopted the
method have shown general satisfac-
ton with the results.

Silage From Immature
Corn Good for Cattle

Immature corn can be made into a
good feed for cattle by putting 1t into
silo, says j. B. Fitch, head Of the
dairy department of the Kansas State
Agricultural college Many silos were
built this year to store the short corn
crop. If above ground silos are not
available and their purchase cannot be
financed, pit silos, trench silos and silos
made from flooring or other home
made silos can be used, according to
Fitch.
when this corn has reached the
point where 1t will not grow any more
1t should be cut and put into a silo or
stacked" he advises. 'If it is allowed
to stand in the field the leaves will
shatter off and the crop deteriorate
quite rapidly when exposed to the
weather.
Immature corn Is being cut this year
with headers, grain binders, and now
ing machines. When put into the silO
the crop can be handled about the
same as any other silage crop with
the exception that this material cannot
take up as much moisture as 1t would
If mature The amount of water add
ed there should be watched carefully.
"Silage from immature corn will not
be equal in feed value to good corn
silage, but the silo Is a means of pre-
serving this corn and changing it to
palatable feed without loss"

Plant Breeders
Fight Diseases
Some of Ailments of Grain
Held in Check by Gull
tural Methods.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Many and varied are the methods
employed by scientific agriculturists to
fight destructive diseases of the small
grain crops. Some of the diseases Of
wheat, oats, barley, and other grains
are held In check by cultural meth
DDS, some by seed treatment, and some
by the use Of specialized fighting
strains" of the crop in question. For
some time plant breeders have been
aware of the fact tnat some indi-
vidual plants are stronger or more
naturally resistant and immune to
diseases than others. From these nat
ural fighters the plant breeders for a
long time have been assembling ard
modifying their disease-fghting sol
diers and armies and deploying them
to the farmers fields to aid him in
controlling his losses.
Highly Resistant Strains.
Strains of wheat, oats, barley and
rye, as well as many other plants, have
been discovered which are highly re-
sistant or immune to a particular dis
ease. From these generous seed
supply has been grown and distrib-
uted to the sections of the country
where needed. This In itself has been
an achievement Of considerable note
and value to the farmers of the coun-
try. Often 1t is necessary to find a
" ri " or nh fc frlaYr1 a
from more than one disease. AS dis
eaSe-resistant strains, in order to meet
the needs Of farmers, must at the
same time be desirable in other char
acteristics Of yield, market value, and
adaptation, the problem of finding or
developing fighting strains capable
of resisting the attacks Of several dis
eases is more difficult and intricate.
Nevertheless, the plant breeders have
come to the rescue of the farmer on
such occasions as well
Plan to Prevent Loss.
This was the case with wheat in the
area Of southwestern Illinois, where
the two diseases flag smut and the
losses to the wheat growers. Fortu-
nately among the various selections of
wheat being grown by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
varietal tests at the Arlington expert
ment farm, one variety known as the
Shepherd strain seemed to embody all
Of the desired characteristics. 1t was
immune to both diseases and showed
an average yield over period of
six years of 81 bushels to the acre.
About 100 acres were sown in the in
fected area in southwestern Illinois in
the fall of 1923 with seed from the
government plats. From the product
Of this sowing enough seed was avail
able for the sowing of large area in
the fall of 1924. Now many farmers
have seed of the Shepherd strain of
wheat and are growing it to prevent
losses from flag smut and rosette.

Poultrymen Use Greens
in Greater Quantities

New Jersey poultrymen are finding
that for greatest success plans should
be made to supply poultry with an
abundance Of green's. They find that
vegetation usually becomes tough and
coarse in the summer and free range
conditions do not provide the proper
type Of green food for poultry.
To offset this the principal crops
sown in yards or on range are oats,
rape and alfalfa. An alfalfa sod
makes an ideal range because of the
new growth constantly coming out.
Rape also makes a new growth as the
old is eaten off. 1t produces dark
yellow yolks, however, and must be
avoided if light yolks are desired.
Oats make very good crop for a
few weeks They should be planted
In small quantities, because if not con-
sumed while young they soon become
too large and coarse.
In addition to range crops, cabbage.
kale and swiss chard are often grown
in a side field and fed to the birds.
Kale has proved particularly well
suited for summer feeding as It con-
tinually sends out new shoots after
being cut. Cabbage makes fine feed
for late summer and fall.
Regardless of the kind of succulent
feed used, successful poultrymen aim
to provide six to eight pounds daily
per 100 birds. When fed the first
thing in the morning or the last thing
at night, the green feed does not in.

The best way of pasturing soy beans
with hogs is to grow the beans with

1t costs just as much to raise a 40

Dockage consists Of dirt, straw,
sand, weed seeds, and chef. Why pay
freight rates on 4,398,OOO pounds of
dockage every fall?
Smutty wheat results In enormous
losses in yields of wheat and in the
value of the contaminated grain. The
odor and color of the smutty grain
render it inferior for milling.
Musty wheat is very Objectionable
because of the bad odor 1t gives the
flour. Nearly per cent of the wheat
received at Kansas City Is marked
down on account of being sprouted
1t is good policy to cut the silage
up fine. 1t packs in the silo better and
also feeds better. 1t may take a little
longer to put the stalks through the
cutter when cut fine, but it pays we'll
to do so.

FARM I
POULTRY
ERADICATE MITES
TO SAVE POULTRY

There are few poultry producers
who do not know of the ravages
caused by the common chicken mite.
It is very common in all parts of the
country ard while it is more preva-
lent in midsummer ii is well to eradi-
cate it from the chicken houses before
the young chickens arrive in the
spring.
The removal of all interior fixtures
and a thorough disinfection with a
strong dip applied with a force pump
is recommended by the Kansas expert
ment station. They state:
All rubbish should be removed and
burned. Care must be taken to get
the spray into all crevices. Kerosene
emulsion, crude petroleum, and wood
preservatives may be used for spray
ing, followed by whitewash. White
wash aids mechanically by sNelping to
fill up many crevices. Spraying should
be repeated after week in order to
get any mites that may escape. Roosts
should be painted frequently with
wood preservative or crude petroleum.
A treatment of the roosts, nests, boxes
etc., each spring with undiIuted crude
carbolic acid or sheep dip is usually
sufficient to reduce the action of the
mites to minimum The fact should
be kept in mind that mites are blood
sucking parasites and do not remain
on the birds as do lice. Mites are
more harmful to poultry than lice and
in treatment it is necessary to treat
the house and not the bird, as is the
case of lice.
The construction of roosts and nest
Ing places so as to reduce hiding
places to minimum is all excellent
control measure.
If new birds are hrougnt to the
farm, or birds to new quarters, they
should be isolated for a few days in
a pen separate from the permanent
quarters so that all Of the mites will
leave them, thus preventing the infes-
tation of new quarters. If birds are
moved in the daytime mites will not
be carried on them.

Agencies Boost Sales.
There are three types of agencies
in the state, according to Collentine.
They are the individual farmer, the
cattle dealer and the hireling who rep
resents breed organization or organ
lied agency. The cattle dealers and
the breed organization representative
aid in the sales of cattle to the West
and South. Dealers have handled the
eastern sales quite largely.
The various breed agencies render
distinct service to the cattle buyer,
Collentine asserts. Sales are quite
often the result of dairy pilgrimages
into the state.

Feed Mash to Balance
Up the Scratch Feeds

Correct practice in feeding Is the
greatest factor that makes for success
in the poultry business. One impor-
tant practice that does not have so
many followers as it deserves is the
feeding Of mash to balance up the
scratch feeds which are usually grown
at home.
Those who feedua mash in winter
often quit feeding it as soon as the
snow drifts melt away, for they think
that when the hen can get out of doors
she should be made to rustic for her
living. 1t is a mistake to do away
with the mash entirely. Even though
it is offered to the hens they will not
eat as much Of it as they will in the
winter, but they will have an oppor-
tunity of balancing up their ration.
This is essential in order to get large
quantity Of eggs.

Self-Feeders for Calf
Not Always Efficient

According to an experiment recently
conducted by the dairy department of
the South Dakota State college,
Brookings, in regard to the efficiency
of self-feeders for calves it was
found that calves do NOT select their
own ratiOns to the best advantage
they eat too much of the protein feeds
and keep themselves too fat. In an
other experiment as to the value of
soy beans for dairy cattle, the results
show that ground soy beans make a
desirable feed because of their high
protein content, but that soy bean hay
is not as cheap a legume roughage in
South Dakota as alfalfa hay, conse-
quently soy bean hay is recommended
as feed only IN localities where al.
falfa and clover are not grown.

During Rest Period Cow
Should Be Fed Liberallv

During the rest period the COW
should be fed enough to get in extra
good physical condition before she
freshens. There is no necessity and
surely no economy to feed heavily dur
ing the dry period. Two or three
pounds day may well be fed, largely
ground oats and bran, with some corn
meal if the COW is thin, and small
proportion of oilmeal. Then give the
COW silage and good legume hay, and
not make her subsist on poor rough
ages like fodder and timothy hay. Dur
ing the dry period is good time also
to keep up the feeding of minerals.
